Letting Go and Letting God [podcast]

Surrender and Sail Upward!

Today is your day to cry out with John the Baptist…

“He must increase, but I must decrease.” John 3:30

“Notice in this verse, John 3:30, it says ‘must’!! According to KJB dictionary the word must means it is a necessity. Or in other words you must do it! God requires it to spend eternity with Him.” Karen Cochran

YOU will NOT be raised upward till you die downward. Read again.

“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12

It’s not about you any more…. you are bought with the very price of the precious blood of Jesus. Your life is over …. with all the evil and mess it once was. Now let Christ reign. Deny or disown yourself! This is when the blessing and Gospel adventure begins! (Luke 9:23-24) Let go and let God…. let Him take over!

“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

You want this, God’s truth, to own you? Confess it aloud prayerfully.

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” Galatians 6:7-8

We all reap exactly what we sow, right? And we cannot reap resurrection life and victory unless we are sowing death and burial.

If your faith doesn’t move you toward the crucified life for holiness, overcoming all sin, it’s not saving faith. Read Luke 9:23-24; 2 Corinthians 1:9; 4:10-12; 7:1; Galatians 2:20; 5:24; 6:14; James 2; 1 John 3; and Titus 2:11-14.

“Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” 2 Corinthians 7:1

ANYONE preaching anything but the cross, the crucified life for overcoming sin and living victorious in Christ…. is misleading you. Read Romans 6 each morning in prayer. Obey Him. Apply it.

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” James 1:22

Maybe something like this …. “Dear LORD Jesus, You found and saved me for Your glory. My life is not mine any longer. It is no longer I that live but rather Christ reigns in this Your vessel. Not my will but THINE be done! I am crucified with Christ! In Jesus’ name.”

Is Dragging a Wooden Cross Around Biblical? [podcast]

Taking Up the Cross? What Does that Really Mean? Cross Objects? Drag a wooden cross around? Did anyone in the New Testament canon do such? Not one. This message in no way insinuates that these men who carry wooden crosses are not saved but rather it seems to show biblical proof that they are misled. “And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, […]

Principles of the Cross with Todd Tomasella and Travis Bryan III [podcast]

“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12 “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son […]
