The Lord really has me in a time period that requires my full surrender.
I am reminded about a previous blog post that talks about partial surrender. You can be really strong in one area, very fruitful because you are actually surrendered in that area and you are making godly decisions.
But there might be an area where you have secret sin and have a track record of making decisions against the still small whisper in your heart. This has led you to feel weak and have a life of less than in this area.
One of the biggest secret sins we have of our day is pornography and masturbation. Men and Women deal with it the same. This secret sin may seem like it is harmless because no one is talking about it. No one wants to because even the leaders are struggling with this thing that everyone is hiding.
Its a sin that causes damage over time and leads us into more bad decisions.
Start Praying over It
The best way to start surrendering is to start praying about it and asking for help. You may not change all the sudden but over time you will find what you need. In Gods presence you’ll realize that your desires are changing and becoming like his.
Renew Your Mind in the Word of God
The word of God has so much to say about everything we are dealing with. It is important to see what we should do in the word of God and match our thought process to that.
Find examples of others who got through it, read their stories, and talk with them if possible
Its important to know that we are not alone. Its important to find others who are examples to us that we can overcome as well. It gives us encouragement that at the end of this thing, we will be okay.
Also, find people that will talk with you about it who you can trust that wont shame you for the need to surrender everything to Jesus.
