Holy Spirit In Us - Part 4b

Today - we're challenged to examine the concept of surrender in our spiritual lives. We consider the question 'What must I do to surrender?' Drawing parallels from the biblical accounts of Cornelius, the Philippian jailer, and the rich young ruler, we're reminded that an open heart and mind are crucial first steps. The message emphasizes that surrender isn't about losing ourselves, but about gaining everything in Christ. We're encouraged to let go of our pride and trust in God's grace, just as Robert E. Lee had to surrender his pride at Appomattox. This historical parallel beautifully illustrates how God doesn't seek to humiliate us, but to restore and elevate us. As we contemplate our own lives, we're invited to consider: What areas are we still holding back from God? Are there loved ones we need to surrender to His care? This message challenges us to take that step of faith, trusting in God's promise that He hears and answers prayers aligned with His will.
