Yield to the Possibilities
Are you feeling today that life's circumstances are unfair? Listen as Aglow President & CEO, Jane Hansen Hoyt guides us into that place of stillness where HE is God; and helps us to "Yield to the Possibilities."
Colossians 3:1-3
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not earthly things. For you died, and now your life is hidden with Christ in God.
When we accept salvation, we are surrendering our personal will and desires to the greater purposes Jesus has for us. It takes courage to give up control and release it to The Lord to use for greater purposes. Often times, we need strength and help from God to give us that courage to release what we hold of value - but He promises that He will help & guide us.
- What are some things you need to yield to the Lord and place on an altar?
- Why is it hard to let go of things (that may not be inherently bad) and place them on the altar?
VIDEO TRANSCRIPT
Greetings to you today. We’re living in unusual times, aren’t we? Last night I had the opportunity to text with my granddaughter. It was a late night; we texted up to midnight! She was inquiring, “Is this preparation for the second coming?” It was a great opportunity to express some wonderful spiritual truths that she knows in her heart as she begins to see things unfold. It brings it home closer for all of us. One of the things I want to mention to you is that those of us who work at the Aglow Headquarter Office will be working off site, from our homes. We will continue to take calls; and we will continue to be blessed by your financial gifts that keep the ministry going.
The word today is to encourage you to Stand Strong in faith; to believe God has your protection and your family’s protection covered by His blood. Jesus completed it on the cross! It is real, and times like this are ways that give us opportunity to press into that reality.
It is easy to go along day by day and just live our normal life. But when something happens, it causes us to square our shoulders and think, I know some things that I need to be living up to. This is an opportunity to Come Up Higher …and we are doing it!
Today, I bless you. I pray the protection of Jesus over you. I plead the blood of Jesus over you. We are going to get through this and we are going to come out higher than we were before; better, stronger, more joyful than when this virus broke out; in our nation and the nations of the world. Bless you today, be well!
