Is it not time to give your life to Him?


I want this. I want that, what can I do? What do I like? where do I want to go? This is the throne of SELF in someone who does not know the Lord.
It is easy for days to be lived out with "I" at the centre. But one day and there will come a day if it hasn't already, when you may say:" but I don't want that and I don't want to do this" and you begin a journey into a dark vortex. Somehow you may pull yourself out - but maybe it was Jesus who was lifting you out.... (there is a battle being waged between Satan and The Lord but it has been won already..)
You will not be able to satisfy your own all devouring ego - your self, and you could become dispairing. Because all you've ever relied on is self to show you THE way. In His word, Christ tells us - it doesn't come through someone elses' lips, this truth.... "I am the way..." (from the gospel of John).
Someone told me only recently that "I" was Satan's word and it wasn't used in the bible until Satan said it in Isaiha 14....v. 14 "I will climb to the highest heavens and be like the Most High.' The greatest and subltlist copy cat!!

Jesus said," Follow me.." (John) So - simply, ask Him who knows, the one and only true God of the universe, the triune God. Jesus who is the intecessor for you to God but they are all one. His spirit will come in to your self and take the burden of 'self' away and sit on the rightful place in your heart and lead you to life, eternal redemption. At last, you will be able to hand over the reigns - permanently!! What a relief that will be... I pray for this day for you... This REALLY works - I have been there. I know I am still guilty of putting myself before every(one) else - I did it yesterday. But I have repented and Jesus can take the highest honour at the centre of my life and we can start again. He leads me, He shows me the way - see Psalms 25 and 27. These are Jesus's words through David. He will lead you. Just try it... ask the TRUTH ful one who knows - through prayer and His word, the Bible... He is always waiting in the wings. Otherwise Satan will drag you down, repeatedly. You think you will be alright.. I've done this; I have got that; I have this; me, my, me, my, me, my - you then will get fed up and change tack because you are fed up, but then Satan will find you another carrot for your poor little worldly life.... and then that will die.....and you will be depressed again..
But when you surrender to the Lord; Jesus, when you give all to him.... read Paul because he describes it as his life having been poured out for Him as a drink offering...which is really beautiful..... 2 Timothy v 4-6. See also Phillippeans 2. The drink offering refers to the sacrificial duties of a priest. By the way did you know that all who have Christ in them - are priests? Isn't that cool???
Oh the joy of knowing Him, let it never end!!! What is there in this world that could be more nourising to our souls??? Me?????? NO!! Satan - "NO!" - it is Him, He, The Lord of ALL. Not even death can get in the way, once we know Jesus... (Romans 8, v 35-39)The One who lives above, here and in me. Blessings to you. I love you with all God's love. Amen

So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it."
