"I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life"

Father God, thank you for the love of the truth you have given me. Please bless me with the wisdom, knowledge and discernment needed to always present the truth in an attitude of grace and love. Use this blog and Northwoods Ministries for your glory. Help us all to read and to study Your Word without preconceived notions, but rather, let scripture interpret scripture in the presence of the Holy Spirit. All praise to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Ozzone 10-23> There is only one thing God wants of us and that is our unconditional surrender

 



Our unconditional surrender requires us to make Jesus Christ Lord of every aspect of our lives. God wants us complete in Eternity, but I’m inclined to believe that He can only accept those parts of us that have been completely surrendered to Jesus’ Lordship.

Ozzone 10-16 > Distress and Conviction Produce a Harvest – Pray the Lord of the Harvest

 


Too often we intercessors pray for God to lift the burden from someone who is struggling, to heal them from sickness or pain when God is trying to produce a harvest. We end up praying against God. Pray the Lord of the Harvest to send workers and when He does, then pray for healing.

Ozzone 9-30 > How much are you willing to suffer for God? Are you willing to identify with His cross?

 



And it will benefit God’s Kingdom, and will ultimately benefit you. Have you so surrendered your right to yourself to God that you will allow Him to make you into broken bread and poured-out wine? He will knead you, put you on the back burner until you rise, and then throw you into the oven. After all that, He will pull you apart like Jesus was pulled apart on the Cross. Are you willing to endure the pain?

Ozzone 9-28 > “Go, sell all that you have” is not about salvation, but discipleship

 


Are you exuberantly argumentative? Do you have to win these arguments? Then you haven’t allowed the Lord to look at that part of your character. And where the Lord cannot look, He is not Lord.

I have learned to debate with people and accept losing when winning is not possible. I am happy to get one or two good points across and allow the Holy Spirit to use that to open the closed minds and hearts. It’s His job after all.

Remember, 'Follow Me' means all the way to Calvary.
