Last night at HIT Men we had a great video by Loui Giglio where he reminded us (mostly out of the book of Colossians) about the great "mystery". This "mystery" that has been hidden for the ages is now revealed to His saints which is "Christ in you". Yes when we repent of our sins and by the Grace of God accept Jesus as our Lord, believing with all Faith that it is true. Then by the power of the Holy spirit, we are indwelt with Jesus. Also we are immersed in Jesus and He in God. This is such a wonder and miracle.

Because of this great work of Grace, we are not called to "try harder" or to "promise to get it right". Rather we are to live fully surrendered to Jesus and He is the one who is to live in and through us. When we mess things up and fall back in our selfish ways and sinfulness, it is not because we were not trying hard enough. Rather it is because we were trying when we should have been acknowledging that we cannot do it and there is only one who can, Jesus.
So we are to surrender to Him. We are to pray, not that we can try harder but that we can be surrendered and humble before our Lord, seeking Him and for Him to show up and live. It is He who need to respond in our situations. It is He who needs to overcome the issues. It is He who can make you a better man. etc....
The best way to fight the battles of this life is to surrender to the One who has all the victory.
