The "release" of submission

Praying about the words given to me for 2013, continue, alert and listen, I opened my journal, asking Jesus what He wanted to share:

Continue to keep your eyes and ears open to notice how I Am guiding you.

There is no need for striving.

Surrender is not a doing but a letting go.

My desire is for you to feel the release of submission, 

allowing My peace and My will to flood over you.

I came to set the captives free.  What you hold, holds you.

Let go.  It is all just empty space.

Free yourself to grab onto Me.

Continue, Alert, Listen

It has become tradition to pray and seek the Lord for His direction as one year steps aside making way for the new.  I asked Him for a defining word for 2013 but instead of one word He dropped three into my spirit.

Continue.  Alert.  Listen.

I know there is much to ponder as I wait for His wisdom and revelation.  For now, I set them here as stones, to return to again and again as the days move along.

And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.
Colossians 2:6-7 NLT

Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. Mark 13:33 NIV

A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.” Luke 9:35 NIV

The sheep that are My own hear and are listening to My voice; and I know them, and they follow Me. John 10:27 Amplified
