Overcome Me!

God is almighty, all powerful, never-ending, all consuming. He is an all consuming fire, a mighty hand, a strong tower, an army that cannot be numbered. Why is then that so many people, so many christians are not moving in this? Are not completely full of God and moving in Him?

Because the one thing God cannot overcome is the very thing he so wants to. Ourselves.

God does not desire miracles or fresh moves of the Holy Spirit only as much as He wants to fill and be in people.
He loves people so much!
He died for it. He pursues it. But this creation of his called man has a mighty and powerful gift and flaw. Choice. This thing called choice that allows so many mistakes but allows for so much love. Love cannot be had without a choice. Think about that spouses. God so desires love, that he was willing for people to fall away to allow us to have it. What an honour that we get to experience this?? This love is something we can experience.

But we also use our choice to push God away, to find our own way. Our sin and our self and our desires get in the way. That is why my prayer is “Overcome me, Oh God.” I dont want these stupid little sins and selfishness to get In the way of this mighty and powerful love. Why would I want my desire for comfort to get in the way of being swept up in a flood of pure love that is so powerful it cannot help but create. Yet somehow it does.
So I cry out. Daily, or more often. Don't let me get in the way of what you want to do in and through me God! Far be it from me to withhold from you!!

Is there anything you are withholding from God that He wants to repossess??
