The Land of the Will: Part 2 — Post 10 of 35
The Power of a Yielded Life
A surrendered will is not a weak will. It is a will trained and tempered by the Spirit of God. Submission to the Lordship of Christ does not erase personality—it releases true purpose.
Jesus is our model: “Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered.” (Hebrews 5:8) The spotless Son of God submitted Himself—not just to the Father’s plan, but to suffering that would shape His obedience.
God trains us the same way.
Israel resisted this. Again and again they said, “Who made thee a ruler over us?”—rejecting both Moses and, ultimately, the Lord. They wanted deliverance without submission, blessing without obedience.
So do we.
But there is no life without death. No ruling without yielding. No promised land without surrender.
When we yield our will to God, He doesn’t diminish us—He anoints us. Spiritual authority flows from obedience. Christ was given a name above every name because He “became obedient unto death.” (Philippians 2:8–9)
Every believer will come to a Gethsemane moment. A place where your will and God’s will collide. And what you do there will determine what happens next.
The way into rest, peace, and fruitfulness is through the yielding of the will.
Give Him your yes.
