KINGDOM REVIVAL 2021 #1

SURRENDER & OBEY

My focus the last 6 weeks has been on the trip to Lebanon, KS, to pray for the healing of our land. God had put me on that course. Now that the trip is complete, the real work is just beginning. My soul is still vibrating with intense energy from the encounter. I did not have to drive 1,000 miles to pray 2 Chronicles 7:14 and then come home. There are many fine places here in Corpus Christi that would have sufficed. Except that God told me to go to Kansas.

As I continue to meditate on the events of the trip, several things keep coming to mind. Since surrendering my life to Jesus and striving to obey His will, my life has become so much easier. Easier in the sense that I have less worry because I know God will provide ALL my needs, as the occasion dictates. There will be trials and tribulations, but God will carry me through, as long as I continue to draw near to Him and lean into His love and grace.

In surrendering to God’s will, I am acknowledging that His plans are so much more perfect than anything I could come up with. I travelled to Kansas to pray for healing of our nation, but I know so much more was going on as well, a lot of which I may never know about. People’s lives may have been changed forever because of the testimony we shared along the way. Either of those we met in person or those reading on FaceBook. James 4:6-8 tells us: “God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. Therefore, submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”

When we submit ourselves to God, that is be humble, and resist the lies of the devil, He will draw close to us and shower us with His grace. In submitting we are drawing closer to God. But we must do more than merely perform mental exercises and prayers. We must actively live out His word, as James 2: 22 states, “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” As we walk it out with Christ, we become more than just empty vessels. We are filled with the light of Christ (grace), which shines from us so that others will see Christ’s image in us and will be drawn to it, in essence being drawn closer to God. REVIVAL begins within each of us as we surrender to His will. God’s love will shine from us and others will want what we have and this land will be covered in it as well. Humble yourself and look around you, seeking God moving mightily. Pray for healing and turn from your wicked ways. You, too, will have that personal encounter with the healing mercies only God can give, as I did that cold, wet, dark evening this past Saturday, as we prayed 2 Chronicles 7:14.

Be Blessed!
