101

"But the soul renounced shall abide in the boundlessness of God's life. This is liberty, this is prosperity. The more we lose, the more we gain."
- Watchman Nee

The crucified life is little seen in the Christianity often lived out by those who call themselves believers in the USA. However the Bible speaks much about it. God help us to truly surrender to You and Your will for our lives.

Luke 9
23 Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
24 "For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.


2 Timothy 2 4 No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.

Luke 14 33 "So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.

Galatians 5
24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another

Galatians 6 14 But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

John 3 30 "He
must increase, but I must decrease .

That is not a exhaustive list on the topic but is certainly a few verses that it would not hurt us to meditate on.
Father God Have mercy on us.



Please Remember to Pray for Afghanistan.
