NEVER SURRENDER
This morning I was awoken around 5 something. I looked at the CLOCK on my cell and it said 5:36 AM. That was interesting to me. 5 is HIS GRACE and FAVOR and 36 stands for overcoming the enemy. It is also the 2oth, which is REDEMPTION. GOD is FAITHFUL. He just is! Does that mean we won’t go through anything? Well, NO it does not mean that. What is does mean is simple. GOD and HIS LOVE prevails against ALL EVIL. Because of HIS unfailing LOVE for us, we can choose to NEVER SURRENDER to the enemy.
THIS is a precarious season. It is one where it seems from every direction there is FIRE. It comes from family, friends, people who see us as enemies, you name it. BUT, as much unfriendly FIRE comes, know that HIS FIRE will overcome it ALL. God’s command is HOLINESS. Are we living it? Are we giving it? Are we asking GOD to do so through us on a consistent basis?
Just so ya’ll know the pushback and “warfare” around this topic is NOT small. This post was begun yesterday and is still not finished. We serve an awesome GOD. His mercies are knew every single morning. He is nonetheless a faithful GOD. This begins to show up in more ways as days goes on. The more surrendered we are to HIS ways and plans, the better. He will always ROAR on our behalf. Cause GOD’s power cannot be undermined or taken away. IT is timeless, all encompassing and never ending.
In this season, I truly feel sorry for people who are NOT receiving or walking in the LOVE of God. We FIGHT not against flesh and BLOOD but against spirits and principalities. We have had so much psychological garbage fed into us. Only GOD can wash us clean. He will do so by the BLOOD of the LAMB! So who are we surrendering to? Are we using God’s holy weapons to have the victory HE has promised we can live in?

Matthew 16:24-27 ESV
Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done.
Proverbs 3:5-6 ESV
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
James 4:8 ESV
Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
Romans 12:1 ESV
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
1 John 2:1-29 ESV
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him:
Psalm 9:10 ESV
And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.
1 Corinthians 6:20 ESV
For you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.
Philippians 2:12-16 ESV
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Do all things without grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.
Romans 10:17 ESV
So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.
Psalm 46:10 ESV
“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
I say to YOU right now. If you are surrendered to the enemy already, you will see DEATH manifest. But, choosing GOD brings LIFE! It brings FREEDOM that is HOLY! To us it is a no brainer cause the enemy is a defeated foe to GOD and HIS children who adhere to HIS words. There are so many getting FINAL WARNINGS. SO many falling into hard core enemy traps, but GOD can rescue you, as long as you RECEIVE the rescue. Captivity can often appear a comfort, but it is NOT. It is a prison. It can be a mind, body and soul one. But know that even PAUL and SILAS endured prison, and they were set free in HIS LOVE.
Years ago I heard this song and thought then about GOD’s faithfulness…it was likely written about FEAR of failure. But read it through GOD and see the TRUTH. We can NEVER surrender to the enemy. That is blatant disrespect to GOD who made us. We have small hands but HIS hands are HUGE. ALWAYS surrender to GOD. It is the ONLY thing that will sustain, heal and deliver us from the enemy hands and keep us safe.

Never Surrender
JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME IS ALL WE’RE ASKING FOR
CAUSE JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME COULD OPEN CLOSING DOORS
jUST A LITTLE UNCERTAINTY CAN BRING YOU DOWN
AND NOBODY WANTS TO KNOW YOU NOW
AND NOBODY WANTS TO SHOW YOU HOW

YOU CAN NEVER SURRENDER
AND IF YOUR PATH WON’T LEAD YOU HOME
YOU CAN NEVER SURRENDER
AND WHEN THE NIGHT IS COLD AND DARK
YOU CAN SEE YOU CAN SEE LIGHT
CAUSE NO ONE CAN TAKE AWAY YOUR RIGHT
TO FIGHT AND TO NEVER SURRENDER
WITH A LITTLE PERSEVERANCE YOU CAN GET THINGS DONE
WITHOUT A BLIND ADHERENCE THAT HAS CONQUERED SOME
AND NO BODY WANTS TO KNOW YOU NOW
AND NOBODY WANTS TO SHOW YOU HOW
SO IF YOUR LOST AND ON YOUR OWN
YOU CAN NEVER SURRENDER
AND IF YOUR PATH WON’T LEAD YOU HOME
YOU CAN NEVER SURRENDER
AND WHEN THE NIGHT IS COLD AND DARK
YOU CAN SEE YOU CAN SEE LIGHT
CAUSE NO ONE CAN TAKE AWAY YOUR RIGHT
TO FIGHT AND TO NEVER SURRENDER
AND WHEN THE NIGHT IS COLD AND DARK
YOU CAN SEE YOU CAN SEE LIGHT
NO ONE CAN TAKE AWAY YOUR RIGHT
TO FIGHT AND TO NEVER SURRENDER
TO NEVER SURRENDER
OH TIME IS ALL WE’RE ASKING FOR
TO NEVER SURRENDER
OH, YOU CAN NEVER SURRENDER
TIME IS ALL WE’RE ASKING FOR
If we are NOT surrendered to our ALMIGHTY GOD, who comes AS the Heavenly Father, His son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit we shall surely perish. He desires for NONE to perish. But, we know by reading Revelation that some will. NEVER SURRENDER to the enemy’s plans. Command ALL unholiness to be stripped from your life and that of those you are used to PRAY for. GOD does it through us, and HE never FAILS. He cannot fail, because HE alone can breathe and resurrect what is needed for HIS purposes.
Today we pray that GOD be our strength, hope, JOY health, peace, equilibrium, and everything else that is needed. Do it ALL LORD through your children. YOU alone are GLORIOUS!!!! YOU alone are everything PURE and righteous. WE surrender to you and reaffirm that we are divorced from the enemy an his plans. We repent for any areas that have not been fully surrendered. We thank you that enemy plans are thwarted already. You alone will continue in Victory and we will walk in it with you. Thank you for you LOVE, word, and beautiful holy weapons of warfare. You are faithful GOD. Bring comfort to those mourning and grieving. The blood of Jesus at the root of any negative spiritual influence. Thank you for delivering us from ALL evil. In Jesus Holy Name and BLOOD. Amen
I beseech you all to choose HIS LOVE. For one, hell is not a joke. But, most importantly our awesome GOD deserves to be honored above ALL else. GLORY to our mighty and righteous GOD!!!!
In His Grace and GLORY,
E and FAM
