Surrender = Freedom

by Autumn
True freedom only comes when we fully surrender to Jesus. We must give up control, I know easier said than done, but with the Holy Spirit it can be done. To give up control we must trust.


Trust is a when you have a firm belief in someone or something.You have complete confidence in what you trust.


To trust you must know and understand in what you trust in. To trust the Lord, you need to know him.


To know Him you must spend time with Him…. in prayer, in His word, in worship, in fellowship with other believers.


Think of someone you trust...Why do you trust that person? Do you have a personal relationship with them? Maybe they are always there for you…..you know them, you call them in times of trouble or to celebrate times of joy with them. You can count on them.


To fully know Jesus we must understand what He did for us.


Seek Him…. Psalms 9:10 says “Those who know your name trust in you,


for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you”


Jesus paid the ultimate price for You! Yes you, the one reading this….He died for you. He left heaven and came to earth only to be beaten and crucified, and then rose from the grave three days later for YOU. In the midst of our sins (Romans 8:) he died a humiliating death for you, For you to have freedom. If that doesn’t prove His love and earn your trust I’m not sure what would.

He is a hero…..He gave his life so we could be free. What else could you ask for….. Fully surrender to Him. Don’t live a life that doesn't reflect what price He paid for you. Do things His way and you will find freedom. Let the Holy Spirit have control. 

Love, Autumn

Prayer:

Dear Jesus,

Thank you for dying on the cross for me and making a way for me to come to God. Thank you for being Lord of my life. Lord I surrender all of my life to you. I want to live my life in the freedom you died for and give you all the glory. Fill me with Your Spirit and help me live the life You died to give me. In Jesus precious name, Amen
