Someone in here this morning needs to just say right there where your sitting. He has all power in heaven and earth given to him by the Father!Īnd in submitting to him I place all that is a part of me into his hands. Our employment, our hobbies, our home…and everything that is a part of our life in his hands. We are putting our marriage in his hands. That relationship with him must super cede all other relationships.Īnd in surrendering to him we are putting all other relationships in his hands. We must be certain in our own heart who Jesus is.ġ3When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?ġ4And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.ġ5He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?ġ6And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.ġ7And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heavenīefore we can truly follow Jesus we must be certain in our own hearts of who he is.īefore we can totally take up our cross and follow him we must purpose in our own heart that Jesus is the Son of God and He is the Lord and savior of our own life. How do we take up our cross and follow him?Ī. Till we can truly say To Jesus I surrender, I surrender all!ġ.
#I SURRENDER ALL TO YOU WITHHOLDING NOTHING FULL#
He may bestow the the ability to preach the gospel but we will never full fill his calling until we decide to accept the call. He may give us a voice of an angel but we will have to make the decision to use it for him. The Lord may equip us with wonderful talent and gifts. Jesus will not force you or I to do anything. The 12 apostles each had to throw down their nets, leave the tax table or their worldly office at their own accord. The disciples who followed Jesus each had to make their own decision. To accept the invitation is now up to each one of us personally. The invitation to follow Jesus is extended. That puts the label of eligibility upon each one of us today. God has great plans and a wonderful future for those who are willing this morning to submit themselves to him in total dedication. 24Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.Ģ5For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
