#Surrender to God

[ryandouglasjackson]

Embracing the journey of spiritual evolution, we shift paradigms and surrender to the divine flow of the universe. Trusting in the path laid out by a higher power, we open ourselves to profound transformation and enlightenment.

The journey of surrender to God and entrusting ourselves to the Divine Plan.

What is the Meaning of Life?

God Running is a place for anyone who wants to (or even anyone who wants to want to) love Jesus more deeply, follow Jesus more closely, and love people the way Jesus wants us to. (more…)

Dear God,

I am not going to worry about anything today; I am giving it to You. 🙏

Good Morning!☀️

9My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. Proverbs 23:26

Much of Proverbs was written as an instruction manual about living life in right  relationship with God and man by a father, Solomon, to his son. Throughout Proverbs he is reminded to remember what has been shared and live accordingly.

Today's verse can be heard as God's call to us. He bids all of us, sons and daughters,  to surrender our hearts to him. (He has no stepchildren or grandchildren!) He wants us to walk in his ways, revealed to us in his word, the Bible. He desires that we take on wisdom as our constant companion.

Give God your heart, and walk in his ways!

The flesh.

This flesh, man… it’s really up to no good. It only wants what “feels good”, leaving us unsatisfied and further away from God. Paul said in Romans 7:18, “For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.”

I have been seriously battling against my flesh these past few days. It’s like my eyes have been opened to truly see just how sinful and evil it really is, and I clearly see the battle between flesh and Spirit: I know I should be spending time with God, but I instead find myself mindlessly scrolling through IG reels and tik toks that are only feeding my flesh, killing me spiritually.

If it’s one thing I learned, it’s this: if you aren’t being influenced by God, you’re being influenced by the world and, ultimately, by Satan.

You see, we pray, “God, use me”, but how can we expect to be used by God when we don’t give Him the time to instruct, lead, teach, build, and guide us? Look at what Jesus promised to those of us who love Him in Mark 16:17-18:

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

How can we do any of these great acts when we are filled with the world’s garbage rather than with the Holy Spirit?

Ephesians 5:14-18 | King James Version

14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

There’s work to be done for God’s kingdom, but how can it be done if no one is willing to do it because we would rather be entertained and indulge in social media and every other flesh-feeding activity/substance?

Matthew 9:37-38 | King James Version

37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;

38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Also see Romans 10:15. God bless.

Choose now dont wait to live for christ

This picture and story speaks volumes to me: more than most will understand. I could be this woman! My past before Jesus was anything less than spotless and perfect. I was one who said, ' If I walked into church it would burn" despite being raised in one most of my life. Childhood trauma, bad experiences with people, life, relationships all took me down the wrong paths and away from God and to the wrong people and searching for the wrong things. Things that may have made me happy for moments or days, but nothing that made the happiness last. I couldn't understand how a loving God could allow some of the things which had happened in my life to happen and it took me at my bottom, my worst, and about to lose everything before I realized God didn't do it: I DID, with the choices I had made. When I began surrendering to God's will and listening to His voice and stop listening so much to mine, things began to fall into place. I desired peace! A peace that could only come from knowing God. From following His word. From the moment, I, like the woman at the well, drank from the water of life, I had a new desire. It was not that I had not sinned, but that Jesus forgave my sins, and told me to go knowing he no longer cared, as long as I did not not continue in my sinful ways. Now I am not going to say I do not sin or that I have not since that day at the well, but I am more aware, I want to be held accountable. I want to be better, do better and live a life that is worthy of Him.

Nothing is too dirty it cannot be washed, but it must be discarded in order to put on the new.

It's me I was the woman at the well, and Jesus saved me!!!

Wonderful things happen when you allow yourself to be loved. When you finally feel worthy of it. When you begin to experience this in your own chest. When you surrender to it.

Let the universe show you how much you truly are loved. 🍀

Into this world I came, naked,

A world where it is said, “if you can’t beat them, join them.”

A world where it is said, “to fit in, go with the flow.”

So, the struggle began,

I tried to beat them with my moral stands and self-righteousness,

I tried and I tried; the more I tried the more I was subtly introduced to join them,

I wondered why I was stylishly joining them even when I tried to beat them,

I kept on trying to beat them, but the more I beat, the more I fell,

The more I religiously raised my standards, the more I saw myself falling;

Until that point when it dawned on me that I was just doing it all alone.

Then I opened my mouth to my Lord and my savior to catch me from falling.

And He said “give me the reins of the sleigh of your life and I will drive it”

He said “Just lose it to me”

I gave it to Him and He took control of the reins of my life

I lost the reins in His hands,

No more do I have to beat them alone.

No more do I have to prove righteous

All I need to do is to show them my righteous King, Jesus Christ

No more would I be subtly drawn because the reins are with Him.

All I have to do is to continually surrender to Him to lead and to guide.

I know of a surety that I cannot be misguided or misled

He has got me covered because I dwell safely under His wings.

No more escapades to see what’s bubbling out there, because, under His wings, I find rest,

I gained the fullness of my life when I lost it to my savior, JESUS CHRIST.

THIS IS NOT THE END!

THIS IS NOT THE END!

A Word For Now by Candace Roberts Many have been struggling lately feeling like they can’t go on. This is for you! IT’S NOT THE END! To the Mom, wife, father whoever you may be who woke up so exhausted you cried at the kitchen sink asking God to give you strength. I feel you. I am you. There’s a tired that comes from no sleep. From caring for children in the night. There’s a tired that…
