I Surrender All

November 6, 2018 (Tuesday)
Excerpts from a sermon by Paul Fritz, October, 2000:In your best moments you want to dedicate yourself completely to God’s purpose, priorities, processes, power and person. You are learning to wholly trust in Jesus Christ for all aspects of life. You desire to set yourself apart from the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life for the purpose of serving, loving and glorifying God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind. We dedicate ourselves to the Lord with our mind, emotions, will, attitude, behavior, resources, time, talents, relationships, vocation, skills, family, culture, finances, plans, priorities, service and lifestyle.Christian growth is a moment by moment process of yielding all of our rights to the Lord. The daily renewal of our consecration is accomplished by the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit.
Learn to yield your body, your attitudes, your actions, your responses to difficult circumstances, your eyes, your tongue, your ears, your time, your talents, your gifts, your future, your past, your friends, your family, your speech, your vocation, your prayers, your schedule, your health, your wealth, your interpersonal relationships, your right to comfort, your troubles, your fears, your worries, your pleasures, your problems, your uncertainties, your challenges, your opportunities, your rights to success, your rights to promotion, the leadership that God places over you, the organization of your life, your internal and external cleanliness, your image, your reputation, your followers, your assignments, your responsibilities, your possessions, your life, your love, and everything should be dedicated 100% to the Lord. Paul wrote, “May the God of peace sanctify you through and through and be wholly consecrated to God. May your spirit, soul and body be preserved sound and complete and found blameless at the coming of our Lord.
