Radical Obedience

Believe and obey. Obey and believe. These are the only two things that we have to do to walk in the supernatural with God. He only calls us to do two things! So why do they seem so very hard?

I have been walking in rebellion for 1 week now. God had been calling me to focus ONLY on Him, but I got caught up in focusing on disobedience. Well, guess what? Since I became so focused on disobedience and how much it hurt us, I, myself, started disobeying. I began doing the thing that I was hating. Why, you ask? Because I was focusing on it.

God showed me this morning that I started focusing on disobedience because I was trying to save a person that I love. I don't have that power. I am not the Almighty! He is! This is now part of my letting go process. I repented and now I CHOOSE to trust Him. I know that He will save this person from themselves and from their disobedience. And I know that there is nothing I can do to make it happen or to hinder the process. I also know that my disobedience and rebellion does not help the matter. And it definately does not help me.

The awsome thing is that through the whole thing, God was never mad at me. He still loves me just the same. My rebellion died on the cross with Jesus. Because of my faith in Jesus, when God looks at me, He sees righteousness. Glory to His name! How awsome is that?

So I am letting go. I CHOOSE to stop trying to save this person and anyone else for that matter. I CHOOSE to focus on God and seek His face with every minute I am given. I CHOOSE to radically obey Him, even when I don't feel like it, because I know that radical obedience takes me to a place where the miracles happen. I have had a glimpse of this place before, and I went running in fear. Well, now I am approaching again, but this time I do so boldly, with my new level of faith.

That's right. I finally accepted my new level of faith, and Jesus and I are only a few steps away from the other side. Praise God!
