The Lord has released a Word to Abundant Life Ministries that has ignited a new fire in the heart of the ministry. It is a word, that if applied, will literally change your life. Don’t believe me? Just keep reading….
The reason we have struggles in our Christian walk is simple…we are withholding a part or portion of our life from the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. So, if we want to begin living in success, freedom, liberty, and power, then all we must do is live in “Total Devotion!”
Devotion means – “To Love, be attached to, long for, to cling to.....passionate, often selfless affection and dedication...adoration, love, and commitment”
Total Devotion means you are totally passionate, dedicated, committed, and clinging to God in EVERY area of your life. We cannot afford to continue to keep parts of our life exempt from the Spirit. There are many promises to those who live in “Total Devotion”…
2 Chronicles 16:9 (NET) - Certainly the Lord watches the whole earth carefully and is ready to strengthen those who are devoted to him.
Psalm 91:14-16 (NET) - The Lord says,
“Because he is devoted to me, I will deliver him;
I will protect him because he is loyal to me.
15 When he calls out to me, I will answer him.
I will be with him when he is in trouble;
I will rescue him and bring him honor.
16 I will satisfy him with long life,
and will let him see my salvation.
You want some examples of people who were “totally devoted?” What about Noah, the entire earth was corrupt, so much so, God was ready to destroy the earth. According to Genesis 6, “Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.” Why? Because of his lifestyle. Through the life of a “totally devoted” man, his whole family and the entire earth was saved. Want another example? Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. They were given a command to bow down to the god of King Nebuchadnezzar, if they did not, they would be thrown into a fiery furnace. How easy would it have been to go ahead a compromise “just this one time?” No, they refused, what was the result? God saved them and they became a living witness for the power and love of God! (We will get into this message during the later post, “Make Him Famous.”)
If you need God to intervene in your life, if you need Him to strengthen you, if you need Him to transform you…then commit to “Total Devotion.”
