Abandoned to Jesus


Book Description

I truly believe that God will hear the slightest little cry of 'Lord, please grant revival, ' we will begin to be heard according to our faith. I can well imagine heaven's exclamation, 'Behold, they are praying! At last, instead of just talking to one another in a prayer meeting or displaying their doctrines, they are actually praying!' They are beginning to pull... on the ropes of the promises, that is, to begin to draw upon the cords of grace as if they were the bells of a church tolling in heaven, ringing out the promises of God. Such praying will finally, respectfully, demand the attention of the Almighty, leaving Him with no alternative other than to look down and grant the requests." God will hear our heart cries when we really develop a longing for His presence. However there is a price to be paid that many are not willing to pay. God is a Holy God. Before we can come into His very near presence there is a time of preparation. Walking into the presence of God requires a time of sanctification, a time of consecration, a time of dedication and a time of abandonment. God cannot and will not bring you into His presence if you are living in a state of sin and rebellion. However if you are willing to pay the price, He is ready for you. When you get to that point of total sanctification, total consecration, total dedication and total abandonment to Christ you will see mountains start to move. It is amazing how those moments of humility, pain and emotion in His Presence, not only bring about victory in the heavenly realms, but they also give us strength to pick up and move forward to continue partnering with Him in advancing His Kingdom.Laments touch the heart of God! Just like he heard David's and Habakkuk's, he hears our cries!He hears the cry of the broken. He hears the cries of the hungry and the thirsty, not physical hunger and physical thirst, but that of the spirit. Habakkuk 1:1-4O Lord, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou wilt not save! Why dost thou shew me iniquity, and cause me to behold grievance? for spoiling and violence are before me: and there are that raise up strife and contention. Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.Psalm 13:1-4How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me? Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death; Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him; and those that trouble me rejoice when I am moved.That is what this book is all about. This book is to help you by giving you some tools to become more sanctified, more consecrated, more dedicated, and more abandoned to Jesus. We will examine many through God's Word how we might become more like Him and draw ever closer to Him. Don't give up, don't get defeated, He is more nearer than you think. Even now He is calling you to come. Come nearer to me. So let's get a heart cry for God's purposes in our lives and in the world around us and let's see Him to amazing things in our midst.

Abandonment to Divine Providence


Book Description

God is to be found in the simplest of our daily activities and especially through total surrender to whatever is His will for each of us. That is the message of this 18th-century inspirational classic by Jean-Pierre de Caussade. Its encouragement to live in the present moment, accepting everyday obstacles with humility and love, has guided generations of seekers to spiritual peace and holiness. In this timeless spiritual classic, de Caussade presents the simple, profound gospel message that Jesus lived and taught: My meat is to do the will of my Father in heaven. The author states, The will of God gives to all things a supernatural and divine value for the soul submitting to it. The duties it imposes and those it contains become holy and perfect because everything it touches shares its divine character.This special volume of the famous spiritual treatise also includes the many insightful letters of Father de Caussade on the practice of self-abandonment. These numerous letters provide a great additional source of wisdom and much practical guidance for how to grow in abandonment and to deepen our union with God in our daily lives.De Caussade shows that this practice of self-abandonment to God's will is the key to attaining true peace and virtue, and that it is readily available to all people - from beginners to those well advanced in the spiritual life. He also shows how to determine what God's will is for us. He reveals that it is not extraordinary feats that God expects for our growth in holiness, but rather heroic attention to every detail in our lives and humble acceptance of our daily lot in life as coming from His hand. The rich spiritual lessons in this book have stood the test of time, offering real and practical assistance to all people because its message is simple and clear, one that the reader will find to be a rare treasure of inspiration and direction to be referred to again and again.
