2011 - A year of giving up - "On the High Road of Surrender" - Day 29 - Press On

taken from "On the High Road to Surrender"

O My child, you have crossed a bridge . Reach not back. Move on ahead and press on into the fullness of all I have prepared for you. It is the blossoming of that which long ago was planted and for many years has been nurtured. It is waiting for you to step forward and receive. Do not tarry, and do not question, neither allow doubts to enter your mind. Your heart may cry out and rebel, but if you will turn to ME in those moments, I will give you MY peace. I send you no place except as I have gone before.

2011 - A year of giving up - "On the High Road of Surrender" - Day 28 - Immediate Obedience


taken from "On the High Road to Surrender"



You never enhance either your own life or the lives of others if you are out of MY perfect will. When I give you guidance and you are persuaded in your own mind of MY leading, never ponder your decision. There is but one possible reply, and that is, "Yes Lord." Then simply do MY bidding, and do it immediately.


Much confusion and remorse would be averted if all of MY children acted in this manner. This is why delayed obedience is nearly always DISOBEDIENCE, because along with the procrastination there is deliberation followed by rationalization, and by the time decision finally evolves into action, your own will is in control.

2011 - A year of giving up - "On the High Road of Surrender" - Day 27 - Seers

taken from "On the High Road to Surrender"

There is a spirit  of bewilderment abroad in the land today that causes people to go about as though they were moving through a dense fog. Vision is obscured. Never have I needed watchmen, heralds, disciples, and seers as I need them in this hour.

Stay close to ME no matter what attractions exert themselves to draw you away. I need more time with you, and you need to give fuller attention to the things of the Spirit. 

You can never fail to hear MY voice if your ears have been unstopped by obedience and the desire to please and serve ME.

2011 - A year of giving up - "On the High Road of Surrender" - Day 26 - Recognize the enemy - Part 2

taken from "On the High Road to Surrender"

Either take the offense and win a victory for Me, or else sever the connection with the one who is walking in the darkness of his own reasoning mind. It would be better to retreat than to fall into a snare. You may be better prepared at a later time. You have a full scale assignment already at hand and need all of your resources for this.

Recognize the attempt of the enemy to distract you from concentration, and refuse it. Shake off the viper, as Paul on the island of Malta (Acts 28: 1-6). This will strengthen your witness, even as it did for the apostle, and open the door for the proclamation of the truth to those to whom you have been sent.

2011 - A year of giving up - "On the High Road of Surrender" - Day 25 - Recognize the enemy - Part 1

taken from "On the High Road to Surrender"


O My child, hear My voice, and let not the crafty words of a stranger influence your thinking. My word is all you need. Study it more and be filled with its wisdom that you may be fortified against insidious attacks of fallacious human reasonings. The high sounding phrases of the humanist seem convincing at times, especially those times when you are in a condition of weariness, and in a place of testing and searching. But I say to you, that any search that leads you to your own self rather than to Me is of the devil.

2011 - A year of giving up - "On the High Road of Surrender" - Day 24 - Disappointment

Today a little closer to understanding that God always loves me, even when I fall. No matter what. That seems unimaginable. All He asks is for my belief and acceptance. I am not sure why that is such a hard thing.To believe that even when I slip, fall or fail, He cares about me understanding that He still loves me. I just did not think love like that exist. I am not sure what it is I am supposed to do today, but I just hope it is what God wants. I don't think there is anything harder I have ever had to encounter or to do in my life than to break my human spirit. To break this will of mine, to battle myself, every last dying breath seems only to bring about a new and stronger person to fight with the next day. Every time I think I am down for the count, I get back up again... if I could only listen to the guy in the corner telling me to stay down this time.....stay down....don't get back up. I can only believe that at some point God will break me completely and this soul will begin to work in unison with HIM as He made it too! My mom told me Saturday night that I was the most independent, had to do everything myself, stubborn child. I am glad to know Jesus has already won this battle, and I am glad to know that today God still loves us and is out ahead fighting for us already!

Out of every disappointment there is to be gleamed some treasure. The enemy would whisper "all is lost." I say to you,much can be gained.

Refuse the temptation to brood over what is gone. It has passed into the area of MY sovereignty. The PRESENT challenge requires your undivided attention.

Give no time to dark thoughts. Depression undermines the vigor of the soul.

2011 - A year of giving up - "On the High Road of Surrender" - Day 23 - Singleness of Mind - part 2


taken from "On the High Road to Surrender"

Nothing should obscure the revelation of My will. You desire to know: I desire to reveal. Only be mindful that to know My will and not perform it brings severer judgement than to be ignorant. 


When you seek Me for guidance, it is usually an expression of love. Failure, then, to fulfill My demands is a denial of that same love which you have voluntarily expressed. Better it is not to profess, than having professed, to deny. I accept your words; but you are judged by your actions. I accept the profession of your love, but you betray your own heart by disobedience.
