ARE YOU PREPARED TO DIE FOR CHRIST.?

When you have come to the place that you are prepared to die for Christ, than you have truly experienced true freedom from the flesh and all it's desires. Jesus said anyone who desires to follow me must take up his cross and follow Him. Taking up his cross is to be prepared to die daily to all that  is of self, greed, pride, envy, lust, sloth etc. This is the only way to live in victory. Death means no desires can tempt you to sin. A dead man is dead to his senses. He is awakened to his spiritual senses. Now one can spend less time worrying about the cares of this world and be totally absorbed in the cares of His Kingdom. God has called us to be disciples not just followers. A disciple is disciplined daily to choose His way rather than my way. This means bowing down to trust and obey the Master in following His way. What a privelege and blessing to be called sons of God. You are now a priest and king in His Kingdom. Now you are able to call on Him and He will answer  swiftly. Nothing is withheld from him who will answer His call. What appears to be silence is working for you for a greater blessing. Come now and take up your cross and follow Him.
