I am a little more than halfway through this study. I am reading the Kindle edition; therefore, I don't exactly know my page number. I had to stop and share this excerpt. The author, Erin, shared this thought from one of her pastor's messages:
"If you want to follow Jesus, you have to surrender your whole life to Him. If you give God 90% of your life and hold on to the other 10%, it's not good enough. FOR EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE THAT YOU REFUSE TO GIVE TO GOD, YOU ARE GIVING THE DEVIL PERMISSION TO CONTROL THAT AREA OF YOUR LIFE." Spiritual reality check, indeed!
It's as simple as John 14:15-16 (TLB), "If you love Me, obey Me; and I will ask the Father and He will give you another Comforter, and He will never leave you." Glory to the Father, in Christ Jesus!!!
