Yield.

 Mike and I are THE most blessed people

on this planet. Period.  We had dinner with

our best forever friends tonight.  There were

lots of laughs and lots and lots of tears.

The Holy Spirit was there for sure . . .

Jesus said to "Yield".

 Yield is defined as "giving up

further resistance or to give way".  

The mark of a born-again Christian is measured

in their yielding to the will of God in and for

their lives.  Obedience to God, is required of 

all Christians and the mark of obedience is

yielding.

Yield is translated from the Greek meaning

to persuade; to make friends of; to win

one's favor, gain one's good will, or to 

see to win one, strive to please one; to allow

one's self to be persuaded; to believe; to

listen to; obey, yield to, comply with; to trust,

have confidence, be confident.

To YIELD is a verb, it is an action word and

as such, when we yield, it is a conscious

choice we make; whether it is a free choice 

or a choice we have forced upon us.

God is not in the business of forcing His 

will upon us.  Instead He makes His will 

known to us and allows us the 

opportunity to follow Him.  God allows

us the opportunity to yield to Him in

obedience, or to reject Him and follow

His enemy, eventually paying the

ultimate price of that choice.

The heart of the Gospel, the heart of the

Good News of Jesus Christ may be 

summarized in three words:  God Saves

Sinners.  To be saved by God, we need only

to do one thing.  Yield to Him.  AS WE

YIELD ALL ELSE WILL FALL INTO

PLACE AROUND US AND IN US. As

we yield to the written Word of God, God

will change us from the inside out.

Yield. Wait my turn.
