Being in relationship with God looks like we’re sitting down in front of a big table with Him, and what a deeper conversion and deeper healing means is that we are willing to be at this table and we are willing to lay out everything here for the Lord to see. He sits us down and He wants all our weapons, all of our distractions, all the things that keep us from Him, all the obstacles, and He’s gonna keep calling us out until we lay them all out on the table.
Jesus has so much more to give us, but he’s waiting for us to take this step—to surrender everything to Him rather than trying to be the Lord of our own lives. Those parts of our hearts that we’d rather keep quarantined or closed off, the Lord is now sitting saying “I want to be the Lord of that as well.” This is how He is inviting all of us.
This episode is the second part of a series on Hungry For God by Dr. Ralph Martin that invites us to define our relationship with Jesus and fully commit to his Lordship.

Surrender Authority
How does Jesus have authority? It is through His obedience to the Father. But one incredible reality of Jesus is that in His authority, He takes all the stench to the cross, where it will be killed in His crucifixion. His authority does not lord it over us and does not force us to bow down and tremble before Him. But it allows Himself to be emptied and clothed with…

Give It To God
We can’t do anything more to earn God’s love, we have it already! We can be weak, we can be poor, and we can be sinners—and that’s okay. We can bring all that to the Lord and that’s where we start. Jesus doesn’t want us to give him the…

A Father’s Faithfulness
David sinned when he wasn’t doing what he was supposed to be doing; when he had pulled back from God’s calling. We have to be careful of comfort and of being distracted, because it leads to a place of being unfaithful. Instead, we have to keep moving forward in God’s will, which can regularly take us to less…
