THE PRAYER GOD CAN'T ANSWER BY HIMSELF
It's a prayer some of you have
prayed a hundred times. I have heard you ask Me over and over, "Lord please take
over My life". This is music to My ears, this is the the heart of My Father, but
not the way you are thinking. You want Me to over throw your will and make your
decisions for you. No way, it doesn't work that way. This prayer is usually an
exhausted believer's prayer, a believer that cannot fully surrender their
individual appetites.
You are a three part being, body, soul and spirit,
and before that prayer can be answered the body and soul must daily surrender
their individual appetites to the Spirit's control. The body has three
appetites, one for food, one for water, and one for sex. The first two are
necessary for the body to survive and the third is necessary for the human race
to survive. The soul has only one basic appetite, the desire to control. To
control ones own destiny, ones finances, ones well-being. In order to do that
successfully, the soul also lusts for the power to control other people's
destiny, money and well being.
Now here is the only way that I can answer
that beautiful prayer; you must voluntarily surrender all four appetites to the
spirit's control every day. This surrender must be strictly motivated by an
intense love for Me or it will last only a few hours. It Seems simple, but only
a few in the western nations have done it. The body with it's appetites call for
a full time vigilance, especially with food and sex. Every few minutes one or
both of them must be denied free reign and brought under the Spirits control.
The moment the sex appetite experiences "the lust of the eyes", 1 John 2:16
(KJV) I have lost control of the body. I ask you, [27] Can a man take fire in
his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? For by means of a whorish woman a man
is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious
life." Proverbs 6:27 & 26 (KJV)
With food, "the lust of the flesh",
1 John 2:16 (KJV) fasting, always seems to be a future event, a partial denial
of delicacies or is easily excused by something very understandable, like a
dinner engagement. If you deny your body food and strictly control your eating
according to the spirits direction, many temptations that are common to man,
will never arise. There is very little conviction, even when this appetite is
allowed to run wild, many times causing early death. Most believers foolishly
joke about the lack of surrender of this bodily appetite.
Now the big
one, the appetite of the soul, you may be able to fully bring the body appetites
under control of the spirit and never think of this deadliest of all appetites,
control. Just as sex, water and food bring pleasure to the body, so does control
bring pleasure to the soul. The pleasure that stems from being in charge, is
called "the pride of life". 1 John 2:16 (KJV). A Pride condition is often
expressed with phrases like, "I am My own person, and no one tells me what to
do!" No one surrenders this appetite without a big battle and a ton of failures.
Do not act like you have already accomplished this, even I the sinless one,
"sweat was as it were great drops of blood." Luke 22:44 (KJV) to accomplish
this.
Until you can "love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do
good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and
persecute you;" Matthew 5:44 (KJV) you have not surrendered and are still
looking out for number one. Pride will never allow you to do this, because it
causes far to much soul pain. Soul pain is relieved either by surrender or by
retaliation, hatred and bitterness, in other words, evening the score.
Ok
let Me tell you the way it really is; modern day carnal preachers and teachers
have changed My word into a doctrine of devils, teaching that you can make My
will conform to yours, and still be your own spiritual boss. They teach church
growth, using corporate design similar to the beer and soda giants. The have
blue prints for building your own mega ministry or missionary outreach, but they
get their doctrine from the halls of hell. Never once is death to self even
implied.
Let me tell you again about the new grace covenant, back in the
old days "it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. [39] But now
under grace, I say to you, Do not resist the evil man who injures you; but if
anyone strikes you on the right jaw or cheek, turn to him the other one too.
[40] And under grace, if anyone wants to sue you and take your undershirt
(tunic), let him have your coat also. [41] And under grace, if anyone forces you
to go one mile, go with him two miles.
[42] (Now since I have fulfilled
the law and grace is ruling, you must) Give to him who keeps on begging from
you, and do not turn away from him who would borrow at interest from you. [43]
Back before grace you heard it said, You shall love your neighbor and hate your
enemy; [44] (But now get this, in order to be a kingdom graduate,) I say, you
must Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, [45] This is the
only way, To show that you are the children of your Father Who is in heaven; for
He makes His sun rise on the wicked and on the good, and makes the rain fall
upon the upright and the wrongdoers alike." Matthew 5:38-45 (AMP)
I sweat
blood for this, but now I am your savior, and King of Kings and I am the school
master of kingdom university and I say in order to graduate you must also adopt
the motto, "Not my will, but thine, be done." Luke 22:42 (KJV) Go ahead keep
praying, "Father take over My life", but just realize I cannot answer it, unless
I have your full cooperation, as each day, you surrender all four appetites.
