Divine Surrender
I've been learning lately about surrendering to God. It's a weird place where I am right now, but what God is telling me to do is to surrender to Him. When thoughts in my mind are overwhelming, God is saying, “Surrender. Put your will at the cross and take mine.”
A week ago, the Lord told me, “My will and your will can co-exist, but it will limit what you get from me. The less of you in you and the more you surrender the rest to me, the more I'll be in you.” If you want to live with the fullness of grace, you'll have to give up anything that stands in your way to achieve that. So, if you want to go this far, well, you have to give up your own will to God.
God is way bigger than you can ever imagine. The visions He wants to give you are much greater than what your eyes can see. The same goes for the dreams He wants to give you, for the glory He wants to manifest in your life. So, if you depend on yourself, you'll fall short. Surrender your eyes, your mind, your whole self: body, soul, and spirit.
They always say to expand the limits of your expectations when it comes to God. But what's the difference between putting an infinite God in a small tent or in a gigantic temple? Nothing. He still doesn't fit; He's INFINITE. So don't expand anything; break those limits down! Expect God to break the limits of your expectations, for He's so good!
But as the Scriptures say, “No one has ever seen, no one has ever heard, no one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9). So, does this mean that I shouldn't expect anything? Of course not, but know what to expect. Expect the result and not the way He'll do it. Expect that your financial needs will be fulfilled, not that someone will give you money. If the Holy Spirit leads you to expect a certain way, do it. But if not, then don't.
Here's one way to surrender to God: surrender your body to the Holy Spirit. When you're worshiping God, ask the Holy Spirit to guide your body moves and start moving your body as He guides you. For me, when I do this activation while dancing, I don't know what the next move is, but when the time comes, I feel what I should do, or I see myself in the spirit doing it before actually doing it. The Holy Spirit may guide you in many other ways.
Surrender your mouth by speaking in tongues, and you can also, while praying in a known language, ask the Holy Spirit to lead you in your prayer and pray. But this time, same as dancing, you don't know what the next sentence or idea is, but when its time comes, you'll feel or see or you'll just know what to pray.
You can also surrender your eyes and your whole self! Surrendering your body to God is amazing, but what's more important is surrendering your way of thinking and your will to God. Your will at even daily choices! The closer you are to Him, the more you'll be able to surrender yourself to Him, especially your will.
