The Christian life is all about the inward life- in other words, inward sanctification. And that is where real battle is done with God and with Satan.True surrender is not simply staying away from alcohol, tobacco and idle talk- It is the surrender of our will.And that is precisely where the battle and the resistance begins.The greatest crisis we wil ever face is the surrender of the will.And the fear of surrender is understandable.Especially when we have been abused by others at a human level.God does not demand us that we hurl ourselves at the foot of the cross in a suicidal attitude.He patiently waits until the person willingly yield to Him. Begin in the small areas in your inward life where there are patches of darkness. As He gives you victory,start yielding to Him in the bigger areas.
"Begin to engage him in battle.Every step that you take will I give it to you for a possession." Joshua
