The Edge of Your Seat!

Willingness of your heart, mind, and soul has been an amazing concept when fully grasped and understood. Have you ever had one of those moments where God was pulling your heart but you did not understand until the light bulb finally shinned above your head? That happened to me a few weeks ago in church. The subject was on the road less traveled, it is from Crossroad’s The Heart of Summer series.

I figured it out what God has been saying all along, it is the willingness to have a relationship with Christ. Let’s say you accept Jesus as your Savior, your relationship will be as strong as your willingness towards the relationship.

1 Timothy 2:3-4 (New Living Translation)
“This is good and pleases God our Savior, who wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth.”

God wants EVERYONE in the whole entire world to be willing to choose Him as their personal Lord and Savior, accepting the truth, being ready to be freed by the Holy Spirit, sharing His love, and denying oneself on a daily basis.
How to be willing!

1) Accept Him as your personal Lord and Savior declaring it to the world.
Matthew 28:19 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.”

2) Accept the truth
John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.”

3) Being ready to be freed by the Holy Spirit
John 8:32 “then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

4) Sharing His love
1 John 3:16 “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down His life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.”

5) Denying oneself on a daily basis
Matthew 10:38 “And anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.”

So I ask you this: are you willing to be at the edge of your seat ready to be a follower for Christ? I pray that everyone who reads this will be willing to open their heart towards God.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I pray that those who read my blog will be inspired
to live the life you have planned for them. Help me and those reading this to be more willing to live for you. Let us see the truth and obey what you have planned for us. Lord, I pray for those who may not know you, help them to see that you are the way, the truth, and the life and through you they will not have to live in bondage. Thank you Abba, for your everlasting love.
I ask this in your name,
Amen
