Forsaking All: The Price of Power

Good Morning World! There is no price that we can ever pay for the redemption of our lives, the Lord Jesus paid that debt in full. Yet, there is a great cost to walk in His power and anointing. That price is "all". Most of us are not willing to pay the price of leaving behind jobs, businesses, family, the wealth of the world and whatever else might stand between us and a higher calling in the Kingdom. Yet, Jesus says that there is nothing that we could give up for His sake that we would not gain again. As an act of faith however, we must first be willing to walk away from those things. Are you ready to forsake, for "His" sake? Have a great day!

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? Matthew 19:27

And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. Matthew 19:29

So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. Luke 14:33

And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him. Mark 1:18

And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed him. Luke 5:11

Quote of the Day: “There are nine requisites for contented living: HEALTH enough to make work a pleasure; WEALTH enough to support your needs; STRENGTH enough to battle with difficulties and forsake them; GRACE enough to confess your sins and overcome them; PATIENCE enough to toil until some good is accomplished; CHARITY enough to see some good in your neighbor; LOVE enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others; FAITH enough to make real the things of God; HOPE enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

True Christians must make up their minds to trouble in this world. Whether we are ministers or hearers, whether we teach or are taught, it makes little difference. We must carry “a cross.” We must be content to lose even life itself for Christ’s sake. We must submit to the loss of man’s favor, we must endure hardships, we must deny ourselves in many things, or we shall never reach heaven at last. So long as the world, the devil, and our own hearts, are what they are, these things must be so.
