“I’m baptizing you here in the river, turning your old life in for a kingdom life. The real action comes next: The main character in this drama—compared to him I’m a mere stagehand—will ignite the kingdom life within you, a fire within you, the Holy Spirit within you, changing you from the inside out. He’s going to clean house—make a clean sweep of your lives. He’ll place everything true in its proper place before God; everything false he’ll put out with the trash to be burned.”
Matthew 3:11-12 (The Message)

My Utmost For His Highest - 08/22/06
You cannot live the kingdom life to the fullest until you allow Jesus to be LORD of every aspect of your life. The kingdom life is one of total surrender. If you are holding on to something—an old habit … bitterness … hatred … low self esteem … resentment … secret sin … pride—it will hinder your effectiveness for the kingdom.
Open your life to Jesus. Let Him turn it inside out, burning away everything from your old life which is useless in the kingdom life.
