“Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit.”
LUKE 23:46
LUKE 23:46
Death by crucifixion cannot be accomplished by suicide. We cannot crucify ourselves.
The instrument of our death is chosen for us, as well as the manner in which it is carried out, the timing, and the duration of the execution – all is controlled by Another. There is nothing to be done, for we must submit to the Unseen Hand and cast ourselves completely upon Him.

How timely this message was for me today! Recently, I have been shown how I need to place trustingly everything in God’s hands regarding my future. When I may be uprooted at any moment from my place of residence and have to move elsewhere for a month due to necessity; then I learn to trust in the outcome to God’s Grace and Love. Thanksgiving and praise open in our awareness the way for spiritual growth and supply to come to us. The Spirit of God then pushes Himself out into visible manifestation as soon as I open a channel through which He can flow uninterrupted. We should be thankful for everything at all times as Paul implies at Colossians 3:15: “And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.” This is especially hard during the trials and hardships we face in life. But when we realize that all power to live, think, speak, and act come from God, and that He is in control of our circumstances; even that He is with us now, guiding and inspiring us; then nothing becomes too hard for us to bear in His strength. Thank you Chip, for reminding me of the faithfulness of my Father God. Yes, He will never leave us or forsake us. EVER!
This is the way in our process where human nature has to go on the cross,
to see the resurrection of the new creation in God through is lovely
son Jesus The Messiah! God has organized our salvation in a way
that is individual and corporal. They are many in the desert
allowing the voice of God to do the work so the submittion is
voluntary , genuinely and for love not for obligation as religion potrait.
Amen! to you brothers in what you have shared about God’s
plan and reality. Our Father works with us forever no matter
what. He is so good that brings us to repentance and balances
the reality of Life, Man and God. The good news for
mankind through the teachings and dead of our Lord Jesus is
the perfect plan for God to show the eternal love he has
for his creation and how mankind is justify through
the faith in God as The Son and the First One of the New
Creation fo people in God. Maranatta!
How dreadful, painful to submit daily to this process yet it is the principle of life.
May we come to terms with this truth, the earlier the better because there is nothing we can do against the Truth than to submit to the Truth.
Amen! This is truth! To God be the glory!
