Surrender

Prayer for my husband challenge day 1 — 30 Day Prayer Challenge - Day 1

Surrender is a battle term. It implies giving up all rights to the conqueror in a battle. When an opposing army surrenders, they lay down their arms, and the winners take control from then on. Surrendering to God works the same way.”

Our lives come with many areas and battles that require us to surrender to our Father just as Jesus Christ did. When we try to handle these battles on our own, a path of destruction tends to follow. When the Word of God talks about surrender for the Christian, we have initial surrender at salvation. (John 6:44, Acts 2:21)

This is when we recognize our Lord and Savior as the Conqueror!!

Then, we have another layer of surrender that comes in our daily walk. Romans 12:1-2 says, “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."

Surrender is presenting ourselves as a living sacrifice. It means to be transformed by the Word of God and your relationship with Him as a Christian. It means walking in the Spirit because our flesh cannot please God (Romans 1-11).

Surrender, prayer, God's Word-this is our battle cry ladies! Today, we will pray to surrender our husbands AND ourselves over the next 30 days.

THIS is how we fight our battles.

Scripture:

Romans 12:1-2

Digging Deeper:

According to Romans 12:1, what is spiritual worship?
According to Romans 12:2, how can a believer discern the will of God?
What in your life do you need to surrender to the Conquerer? Think about this today. Ask the Lord to help you identify what YOU need to surrender.
