OCTOBER  20 -I Thess. 4:3-“”This is the will of God, even your sanctification”

 AM I WILLING?

Am I willing to cleanse this vessel?  Am I willing to drop the dross?

Am I willing to change agendas acknowledging that God is the boss?

Am I willing to be sanctified for service? Do I really mean, “Wherever Lord?”

No one and nothing can diminish what God anoints for His use with His Sword.

His Sword is the Word of all scripture. God’s Power will win battles for me

All of the equipment is sharpened. As I wait for His direction, I’m free.

The atonement involves my deliverance. The atonement equips from the cross.

All of my endeavors are superfluous until personal glory is lost.

My loss is the process of service. Surrender strengthens a servant to go

Obedience unconditionally prepares me, allowing more of His Presence to show.

JOURNAL JOTTINGS: Someone said, “Lord, make me willing to be willing”. Journal what the Lord is currently asking you to do. Search scripture to strengthen the Lord’s request to you. Your steps of obedience will gift you with the foundation of your future ministry. God creates hidden joys in the submitting process. Journal your results.

This will only be a partial list. Eternity will fill in the details. There the celebration will be complete!

DEAR LORD, Remind us of the reality of eternity. May we realize that every decision we make is important. You view our lives from an eternal point of view. Keep us pure enough to hear Your Voice and Your direction for this day. Lord, no matter our age, position or stage of life, YOU have a plan for us individually. Help us serve You well today.
