Total Surrender!!

Glory to God, for yet another day that we awoke. Thank you Father
for without you, we are nothing!

Today I want to speak to you, about total surrender. Do we really
know what it is that we are declaring when we say that "We totally
surrender to Gods way and Gods WILL"?

I first want to give you the definitions of total, and surrender,
amen.
Definition of total is this: constituting the full quantity or
extent; complete

Definition of surrender is this:give up or agree to forgo to the
power or possession of another

My God my God! I pray that every heart will take heed to your word,
and I pray that you give me the words, as how YOU would want this
message to go forth, in the name of Jesus!!!

If we say that we totally surrender to God, this is what we are
saying with the definitions.

Father, I declare that I am COMPLETE in you to every extent, and
that Father,I give up what I may want, and my will, to the power
and possession of you Father, In the name of JESUS!!

Is that not what we are saying according to the definitions? I want
to share with you some scriptures amen, that show us total surrender!

Romans 6:16 says this: Do you not know that if you continually
surrender yourselves to anyone to do his will, you are the slaves of
him whom you obey, whether that be to sin, which leads to death, or
to obedience which leads to righteousness (right doing and right
standing with God)? (AMP)

Really does anymore need be said? Well lets look at another
scripture.

Luke 14:33) So then, any of you who does not forsake (renounce,
surrender claim to, give up, [a]say good-bye to) all that he has
cannot be My disciple.(AMP)

Oh my my my, My God I choose this day to totally surrender to YOU
Father! I AM NOT concerned with what (me) may want,I
am concerned about you Father. I totally surrender to you this day,
and the (I) is put under submission.
Let your will be done in my
life.
Father, know matter where you lead me,
I will follow.
Good bye this day to things that are not of you!
I may be
persecuted, but Father as I am totally surrendered to you, I rejoice
that I may be persecuted for your NAMES sake, Hallelujah!!

Father,I know that to be a leader, I MUST first be a good servant,
and know that even as a leader, I MUST still remain a good servant.
I pray that I will always be at your service my Abba, even if at
times it hurts, or If I must stand alone here on earth, I KNOW that
you my Master, You have me in your hands, and If I be in your hands,
I will not fear, Glory!!!!!!! Beacuse Halleluah, if you are my
Master, and I am your servant, who can tear down?

I choose this day,
to make sure that I have on the full armour, that I can withstand in
this perilous day! I love you Father, and I surrender myself totally
to you!!!!!!!!! In Jesus Name, Amen and Amen.

As always Father, you will find me "Kneeling at your feet, and
standing on YOU word,. Halleluah, Halleluah... Halleluah, Hallelujah ........

In His service as Your That at the Mercy and Grace that has brought through
Heavenly Father,your warriors prepares for the battle. Today I claim victory over satan by putting on the whole Armor of God. I put on the Girdle! May I stand firm in the truth of your word, so that I wil not be a victim of satan's lies. I put on the Breastplate of Righteousness! May I guard my heart from evil,so I will remain pure and holy,protected under the blood of Jesus Christ. I put on the Shoes of Peace! May I stand firm in the good news of the gospel,so your peace will shine through me and be a light to all I encounter. I take my Shield of Faith! May I be ready for satan's firery darts of doubt, denial and deciet, so I will not be vulnerable to spiritual defeat. I put on the Sword of the Spirit! May the two edged sword of your words be ready in my hands, so I can expose the tempting words of Satan. By faith,your warrior has put on the Whole Armor of God, I'm prepard to live this day in a mighty Spiritual Victory! Amen! Amen!

LIFE OF GOD

John 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."JOHN 10:7-10

The Greek word translated "life" here is "zoe" and it means life in the absolute sense or life as God has it. Everyone who is breathing has life in the sense of physical existence, but only those who receive Jesus can experience life as God intended it to be. Jesus came to not only save us from the torment of eternal hell, but also to give us this "zoe" or God-kind of life in abundance. The life of God is not awaiting us in heaven, but is presently possessed by every born-again person in his spirit. We can release this "zoe" life and enjoy it now by losing our natural life and finding this supernatural life. The way we lose our life is to deny any thoughts, emotions, or actions that are contrary to the Word of God, which is life ("zoe" in Jn. 6:63). When we line our thoughts, emotions, and actions up with the instructions of God's Word, then we will find this "zoe" life manifest in our bodies and souls as well.

The Word is spiritual and must be understood through the spirit (1 Cor. 2:14). The Bible is simply a physical representation of Jesus and spiritual truth. It is inspired of God and therefore, totally accurate and reliable, and yet, until we receive the spirit that these words express, the Bible will not profit us (Heb. 4:2).

If we want to know what spiritual truth is, we must believe the Bible, for it is spirit and life. If we want to be led by the Spirit, then we must follow God's Word. If we want to hear from the Spirit of God, then we must listen to what God says in His Word. The Spirit (Holy Spirit) and the Word (Jesus - Jn. 1:1) are one (1 Jn. 5:7). Dear Heavenly Father, I pray this prayer in the power of the Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus Christ I bind, rebuke and bring to no effect all division, discord, disunity, strife, anger, wrath, murder, criticism, condemnation, pride, envy, jealousy, gossip, slander, evil speaking, complaining, lying, false teaching, false gifts, false manifestations, lying signs and wonders, poverty, fear of lack, fear spirit, murmuring spirit, complaining spirits, hindering spirits, retaliatory spirits, deceiving spirits, religious spirits, occult spirits, witchcraft spirits, and spirits of Antichrist. I bind all curses that have been spoken against me. I bless those who curse me, and pray blessings on those who despitefully use me. I bind all spoken judgments made against me and judgments I have made against others. I bind the power of negative words from others, and I bind and render useless all prayers not inspired by the Holy Spirit; whether psychic, soul force, witchcraft or counterfeit tongues that have been prayed against me. I am God's child. I resist the evil one. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. I put on the whole armor of God. I take authority over this day, in Jesus' name. Let it be prosperous for me, let me walk in Your love, Lord. Heavenly Father,your warriors prepares for the battle. Today I claim victory over satan by putting on the whole Armor of God. I put on the Girdle! May I stand firm in the truth of your word, so that I wil not be a victim of satan's lies. I put on the Breastplate of Righteousness! May I guard my heart from evil,so I will remain pure and holy,protected under the blood of Jesus Christ. I put on the Shoes of Peace! May I stand firm in the good news of the gospel,so your peace will shine through me and be a light to all I encounter. I take my Shield of Faith! May I be ready for satan's firery darts of doubt, denial and deciet, so I will not be vulnerable to spiritual defeat. I put on the Sword of the Spirit! May the two edged sword of your words be ready in my hands, so I can expose the tempting words of Satan. By faith,your warrior has put on the Whole Armor of God, I'm prepard to live this day in a mighty Spiritual Victory! Amen! Amen! Glory,Glory,Glory Hallelujah Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,Romans 4:20 He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me,
and he prepares the way so that I may show him ^[a] the salvation of God."Psalm 50:23 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.John 15:8 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.Philippians 1:11

John 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."JOHN 10:7-10

How to beat the biggest man-killers.

For us, the health of the American male is not just a weeklong pursuit. But in honor of Men's Health Week (June 11-17), we've compiled a list of our top tips for beating the biggest killers of men. Read them, follow our advice, and start living better year round.

Beat High Blood Pressure
Eat meat. In a recent Australian study, people with high blood pressure who replaced 8 percent of their daily calories from bread, cereal, potatoes, or pasta with lean red meat experienced a four-point drop in their systolic blood pressure in just 8 weeks.

Arginine, an amino acid in red meat, may help dilate blood vessels, lowering blood pressure. Plus, limiting starches lowers blood sugar and makes your body more efficient at burning fat.

Save Your Skin
Melanoma feeds on modesty. If you don't strip for a yearly skin screening, the cancer can spread undetected.

Made an appointment? Now make one with your honey. A Northwestern University study shows that when people learn how to do skin self-exams with a partner, they're more likely to check themselves (and each other) in the future.

Have a Healthy Heart
Eat more dairy. According to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, consuming three or more servings of dairy per day can slash your risk of heart disease by 31 percent.

"We don't know exactly how dairy lowers heart-disease risk, but other studies show that the calcium and magnesium in it can lower blood pressure," says study author Donna Spiegelman, Sc.D., a professor of epidemiology at the Harvard school of public health.

Want even more protection? Seek products fortified with vitamin D. British researchers found that daily D supplements lower blood levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of arterial inflammation, by 23 percent.

Lose Weight Over the Phone
Pick up the phone and ask for help dropping the pounds.

Researchers at the University of Kansas recently had 96 overweight people follow weight-loss counseling programs and discovered that the programs conducted by telephone were just as effective as face-to-face clinical counseling. On average, members of both groups lost 28 pounds in 26 weeks.

"Telephone-based programs have the benefits of convenience, lower transportation costs, and accountability with anonymity," says study author Joseph E. Donnelly, Ph.D.

Our pick: The phone program offered by John Berardi, Ph.D., C.S.C.S., co-author of Scrawny to Brawny. Go to johnberardi.com and receive a Men's Health reader discount.

Drink Coffee for Your Colon
Drink decaf coffee. A recent study at the Harvard medical school surveyed the tea and coffee consumption of men and women for 18 years and showed that drinking two or more cups of decaf coffee per day can slash colon-cancer risk by 52 percent.

Decaf coffee may have a positive effect on bowel motility. It keeps things moving which is an effect that the caffeine in regular coffee may cancel out.

Kick the Sticks
Go spit. A 2005 study in the British Medical Journal found that smokers who saw their results from a saliva-based nicotine test were 17 percent more likely to quit. The test, which involves spitting in a cup and measuring the amount of tobacco-derived toxins in the saliva, was used in conjunction with antismoking counseling.

Researchers believe that being able to see progress in the quest to quit in much the same way one can see the results of a cholesterol-lowering regimen helped motivate the participants.

Check a local drugstore for NicAlert, a saliva-based nicotine test ($15, also available at www.nymox.com).

Protect Your Prostate
Carve a pumpkin, cut your prostate-cancer risk. Eating a large slice of pumpkin pie (or 13 baby carrots) daily will give you about 8,000 micrograms of beta-carotene, an amount research from Roswell Park Cancer Institute shows may halve a man's risk of the disease. Top with whipped cream to boost your absorption of the nutrient.

Defeat Depression
Ask your therapist how many patients he treats. If it's more than 25, beware. Research has shown that a therapist's effectiveness decreases as his caseload surpasses this number.

A Finnish study found that men who exercise and are exposed to sunlight experience a greater reduction in depressive symptoms than those who work indoors. A CDC survey also found that people who exercise regularly feel less depressed.

Avoid a Car Accident
Cellphones make distracted drivers out of all of us, quadrupling a man's accident risk even hands-free.

One answer: Take a page from airline pilots. In a new study in Risk Analysis, researchers found that when pilots talked on a cellphone in a driving simulator, they caused 46 percent fewer virtual accidents than nonpilots did.

"They knew to disengage from the cellphone conversation at precise moments," says Jake Rose, Ph.D., the coauthor.

Decrease your own distractibility by hitting "hold" at the must-focus moments identified in the study: when merging, during stop-and-go traffic, and at intersections involving multiple turn lanes.

Ditch Diabetes
Eat to beat high blood sugar. When you consider that "glucose-intolerant" is another term for "diabetic," it's easy to see what you shouldn't eat. Namely, glucose-rich foods, such as bread, rice, pasta, and potatoes.

But Mary Vernon, M.D., prefers a more positive approach: "I like to emphasize what people can enjoy." So, use these guidelines to build a prescription diet.

One caution: If you're currently taking medication for high blood pressure or high blood sugar, consult your physician first, as this diet will cause both to drop.

Save Yourself from a Stroke
"Each daily serving of fruits and vegetables decreases stroke risk by 6 percent, so three servings decreases it by 18 percent," says James Bobenhouse, M.D., stroke-program director at BryanLGH Medical Center, in Lincoln.

No time to cook? Down a Tropicana Fruit Smoothie. One 11-ounce bottle equals 2 1/2 servings of fruit.
