Supernatural Surrender: Living life with a spiritual funnel

Proverbs 3:6 – In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

James 4:1-8,10 – What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. 4 You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us? 6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” 7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you.  10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

A thoroughly funneled life is crucial because…

#1 – An exists within us.

James 4:1– What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?

Romans 3:10 – There is no one righteous, not even one…

James 4:3 – When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

Romans 7:15-23 – 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. 21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 

Is there anything I am refusing to filter that may blow up my life?

Is there anything I’ve stopped filtering that may rekindle some dynamite?

James 4:10 – Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

James 4:6-7 – God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble. Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

John 15:5 – I am the vine; you are the branches apart from me you can do nothing.

May I never forget that on my day I still need as as I did on my day. ~ Unknown
