INFINITUM PRIMER PLAN

DAY 3 OF 5

Day 3: Surrender

There are three postures in Infinitum: surrender, generosity, and mission. Surrender? It means ‘cease resistance to an enemy or opponent and submit to their authority.’ The recognition is that in our natural state we are opposed to God, living in adversarial hostility to our Creator. And we have to surrender.

And while there is a moment of total surrender, it doesn’t end there. The Passion Translation uses the phrase ‘continually surrender’ a couple of times (Matthew 16:24; Mark 8:34) to describe our posture toward God. We are to continually surrender to Jesus, live in continual surrender, in submission to His authority.

How does it look?  

On the positive side: 

We are to live in wholeness with Jesus. Our whole lives are meant to be infiltrated with His love.  

We are to experience all that delights His heart.

On the negative side: 

‘Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture.’

Allow the Holy Spirit to totally reform how we think.     

And we will be empowered to discern God’s will. 

The exercise is for us to walk in surrender; to live a holy life, we experience all that delights His heart. Every day we refuse to imitate the culture’s ideals and opinions. Every day we choose to allow the Holy Spirit to reform our thinking. And every day we are empowered to discern God’s will.
