More Peace, More Patience, More Power Series

A truth to take home: The Dove will dwell on me when I yield like the Lamb.

The power of the Spirit is either coming or going in your life. The impact of the Dove is either flying from you or to you. It all depends on whether you have a lamb-like disposition.

A verse to remember: If you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him? (Luke 11:13, NLT)

So, let’s learn to pray these three prayers: “Holy Spirit, do whatever it takes, but stay on me, rule in me, live through me.”

A question to answer: What must I do to become lamb-like – to surrender the last 20% or 10% or 5% of my life to the Lord?

I recently read about a church filled with people who waved a white flag to God. They surrendered. Here are their words:

Today I am stepping across the line.

I’m tired of waffling, and

I’m finished with wavering.

I’ve made my choice;

the verdict is in; and

my decision is irrevocable.

I’m going God’s way.

There’s no turning back now!

Since my past is forgiven, and I have a purpose for living and a home in heaven,

I refuse to waste any more time on shallow living, petty thinking, or trivial talking.

I know what matters most,

and I’ll give it all I’ve got.

I’ll do the best I can with what I have for Jesus Christ today.

I’m a trophy of God’s amazing grace, so

I will be gracious to everyone,

grateful for everyday, and

generous with everything that God entrusts to me.

To my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, I say:

However, whenever, wherever, and whatever you ask me to do,

my answer in advance is yes!

Wherever you lead and

whatever the cost, I’m ready.

Anytime.

Anywhere.

Anyway.

Whatever it takes Lord;

whatever it takes!

I want to be used by You in such a way, that on that final day I’ll hear you say, “Well done, good and faithful servant. Come on in, and let the eternal party begin!”
