Surrender to Higher Levels
In the experience of spiritual evolution, you
rise higher and higher as you gain greater knowledge and faith about your own
spiritual power. You feel as though you can do anything, be
anything and have anything you want. But then just when you think that you are
complete like God, suddenly things come crashing down and you feel as though
you are brought down to nothing once again. You wonder what is the meaning of
it all and start to question the reality of your own powers and knowledge.
You may have experienced such a scenario time
and time again in your life. It is a crisis of faith that makes you reconsider
your belief in yourself and in God. That is the dark night of the soul or the
valley of the shadow of death which you enter to discover a new light to a
higher reality that you never saw before. You may have discovered that light
and ascended out of the pit before, but then you lost sight of it later and
that's why you keep experiencing this scenario again and again.
The truth of the matter is to show you that
you are nothing, and God is everything. We can never take the place of God in
our lives no matter how much knowledge and reality creation abilities we have
gained. As we ascend in our path of spiritual evolution, we feel that we have
greater and greater control over every aspect of our lives. But then we find
that we always rise until we hit a certain plateau and can't seem to go
further.
What is actually ahead of us that we are
supposed to advance next, is the true journey into the
highest level. We can't make the advancement until we realize what it takes to
enter into that journey. It is the journey of surrender. It is the moment when
you are spiritually evolved enough and finally ready to make the transcendence
into total oneness with God Almighty. It is to show you that you are totally
dependent on God alone and not on anything else.
To ascend into the highest level requires you
to give up all thoughts about your own greatness and supreme power. That may be
a hard thing for some of us to do, because we have become so great and
powerful, how can we think ourselves as nothing and powerless once again? That
is the paradox of moving into the greatness of the almighty. The higher you go,
the more you must surrender. The rules of the higher are different from the
rules of the lower.
It is when you are made nothing that God can
become everything in you. When you surrender yourself to God completely, God is
able to use you fully. You become as a clay in the
potters hands. God is able to shape you and mold you freely and perfectly into
the exact form that he wants you to take. When you let go and let God, God can
use you in anyway he pleases.
We are all here to do God's work. Our purpose
is to serve as angels of the Lord. Angels are messengers of God. To be a
messenger is to convey what someone else wants to express. The better the
messenger, the more authentic and powerful is the expression being conveyed
from the original sender. The worse the messenger, the more corrupted and
destructive is the expression because it is tarnished by the interference of
the messenger.
God is able to use every single one of us to
a certain extent, no matter how spiritually evolved we are. He is able to
express himself through us in certain ways no matter how much is our degree of
surrender. But in order for God to do his highest and greatest work in us, he
has to bring us to a point of total surrender. The more we surrender, the more
he is able to work through us. Choose God and let God choose everything else, then choose to follow the choices he makes.
Christ is the head of all principality and
power. Let Christ be your head, and you will be the
head of everything else. The more you surrender to the higher, the more you can
rule the lower. When you surrender to God completely as the bearer of his
light, that's when you can truly rule the universe as a prince of power. When
the feminine polarity of your soul is fully surrendered to the Christ polarity,
your masculine polarity is able to have full dominion over the world. Become
the feminine to the Christ and you will be the masculine over everything else.
Be an open vessel and God can move you in any
direction he wants. Be an open channel and you can receive inspiration from God
easily and effortlessly. When you are empty, God can fill you. It is the
emptiness of Man that allows the infinite to work in him fully. God can create
in you and work through you. You don't need to have any plans but allow God to
lead you however he pleases. When you no agenda, you will do things you never
thought you would do. Go with an empty mind and an open heart.
You cannot truly move into the level of
emptiness without first being brought to the level of fullness. You should not
empty your cup before it is filled to its fullness. As long as it is isn't fully filled, it cannot be fully emptied. Realize
the fullness of who you are in Christ first before letting it all go and
surrendering to God completely. Know that you are everything in God and then
allow yourself to become nothing so that God can become everything in you.
Discover the level of power where you can do
anything you want and you can do as you please. You will be able to accomplish
things to a certain level. But then when you want to move on to the next level,
you will have to surrender to God and let him do as he pleases. You will
advance to the level of divinity. To function at the highest level, God has to
be the one who works in you directly and accomplish all things through you. Let
go of all control of everything and trust.
Once you are brought to the level of
emptiness from fullness, then can you be filled to the level of fullness once
again. You are never really empty because your fullness of God is always there.
It is only in your experience of transcendence that you let go of who you are
and allow your consciousness to rest on who God is. It is after descending into
the lowest are you able to ascend into the highest. Because God is able to use
you at all levels.
Trust in him completely. Have the Christ
Confidence. He knows all that happens better than you. Just let go of all
control and allow God to lead you. It is all for a purpose, and when you cannot
trace, you must trust. This is not an illusion, but a reality, for time proves
all things. He who waits for his time to come shall be rewarded, and good shall
come to him. For God Himself shall be his Companion and Champion. Wait upon the
Lord.
