Daily Surrender For November 30, 2009... 'Fleshly Desires'

My Romans 8:13 Moment:

Today I surrender to my saviour my fleshly desires. I surrender my eye gates and my ear gates to you, that you may be the border patrols that monitor that which I see and hear. God, I surrender to you all impure thoughts, as well as spirits of lust and perversion. I most definately do not want anything to enter into my spirit that is against you, or that raises itself up against your name. Your name is greater than any other name, so therefor Lust (being a name) has no authority or power over me and over my life. Neither does the name of perversion, nor the name of impurity. But from my spirit to my mouth I name the name of Jesus Christ, and I name you saviour over my life! Today my daily surrender to you is my fleshly desires. I know you said in your word that if I walk by the flesh I will die and if I try to fulfill the desires of the flesh I shall fail. (Gal. 5:16) So, with this knowledge I will not perish (Hosea 4:6) but I will go forward and walk according to the spirit. I will remember to protect my eyes and what I see and my ears and what I hear. I will also protect my personal space and who I allow close to me. I will be more diligent with whom I am close with (2 Cor. 6:14), with what I say (James 3:1-12), what I do (Col. 3:17) and how I present myself to others (1 Cor. 6:19-20). For I am the temple of the Holy Spirit and my body is Holy, so everything I do must follow suit (1 Peter 1:16).

Finally, Lord I am thankful for your Love, your forgiveness, your grace and your mercy. Thank your for your Fresh baked, straight out the Holy Oven Benefits that you've presented me today (Psalms 68:19), I appreciate them.

Lord you are Great, and Greatly to be praised. Thank You Lord for your mercy endureth Forever (Psalms 136). I love you and thank you Lord for being my confidence. You're God, I'm not...You do you!

Freedom...The sentiments of my Heart!

This is How It Feels to Be Free

This is how it feels to be free
to pull my feet out of the dark deep mud of doubt
To brush away the gnat-thoughts that pester me
“you are not enough”
“you are not enough”
“you are not enough"

This is how it feels to be free
To step from hot sun into cool shade
and know that this is where I was meant to be
what I was created to be.

This is how it feels to be free
to strip away guilt like wet clothes
to loose their weight and stand
tall
and dry
and redeemed

This is how it feels to be free
to run
to laugh
to dance
to stop and notice and breathe
To spread my arms wide
and embrace
all that He made me to be

This is how it feels to be free
to not worry what you think of me
to not strive to make you like me
accept me
Love me.
To let His love pour over me
like cool water
on a July afternoon

This is how it feels to be free
to give up all of me
to surrender willingly
thankfully
desperately
all that is inside of me
to be captured in love by the one who died for me
and gives me freedom

This is how it feels to be free
to forget for a moment that I am anything but a child of God
and to stand at his feet in awe
as my mouth
and my heart
and my hands
and my toes
and all of who I am
sings His praises
This is how it feels to be free

...this poem represents the sentiments of my heart. I found this online, but never found the author. Its such a great description of true freedom in Christ. Freedom in Christ, is simply a change in bondage. First being bound in sin, and to the works of the enemy...then to be bound by Christ. A Servant of the Savior. A Slave to God.

Thank God for Freedom...

John 8:31-32
