"Life" in Me
Three Steps to a "Life" in Me
1. Commitment
2. Surrendering/Sacrifice
3. Dedication
Commitment to Me comes at that moment you realize that it is no longer good enough to only embrace My Son's death for your forgiveness, but that you need to move along in relationship to Me. Time and trials increases your faith in Me causing more commitment to be one of My disciples.
Life in Me begins at the stage of surrender. Surrendering produces good qualities in order for you to be urged along the path of Life. Worthy opponents for a life in Me are weaned from the addictions of the world, as they get their fill from Me. Moving along a path of holy living and true righteousness exempts you from the name "unworthy servant".
Producing Me in you takes much time but My character is one of patience and longsuffering, and therefore I continue to endure while I refine. "Life" happens at surrender, joy comes in living within that surrender, and "walking in the Spirit" is fulfilled by My command.
Return to your First Love!
Sorrows, afflictions, and life's disappointments have kept many of My children from wholly coming to Me daily.
Staying away from My presence only allows the enemy to have the upper hand in your life, and therefore you are moving away from My mighty plans for your life. Return to the thrill of basking in My presence which will enhance your personal relationship with Me and overflow to all those around you. Return to your first love in Jesus and remember your past days of anxiously waiting for that moment of time when you could be alone with Me. I will fill you, restore you, heal you, encourage you, and whisper "love messages" to you when in My sanctuary, but first you must come to Me.
Remember those times when you fully obeyed all of My instructions for your life, and you were committed to My holy ways in order to put a smile on My face and be a righteous servant. Return to My holy ways, My children, and all will be well!!!
