Letting go is the “hot button” with God!

“For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:10-11

When you try to live drawing upon your own energy and sufficiency, you diminish the life of God in you. In reality, God decreases and self increases!

Jesus died to sin once for all and He now lives for God. He will never die for sin again. Your sin died on the cross with Jesus so you have to recognize that sin has no dominion over you. And, you can be alive to God and live for Him.

Walking with God is a continual process of letting go. Self keeps getting in the way of God and Jesus has to deal with our stubbornness and neglect of God.

You and I try to contain God. He can come live with me here but He is forbidden to enter this part of my life. The boundaries have to go away if you want the fullness of His life. You can’t cut corners with God. He wants all of you.

Jesus is serious when He says you can be alive with Him and filled with His abundant life. The problem is you and I choose our life not the life of God. This is how we hinder the power of God!

Letting go is making a decision to be united with God through His Spirit and living in oneness with Him. It is taking every thought captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ and allowing God to reign in every aspect of your life. It is a lifelong process.

Thought for the day: “Come to Me and leave your old life behind! I will give you a better life than you can ever give yourself. I want to give you more than you ask or think. I am a God of greatness.”
