Obedience
“His servants ye are to whom ye obey.” Romans 6:16
The first thing to do in examining the power that dominates me is to take hold of the unwelcome fact that I am responsible for being thus dominated. If I am a slave to myself, I am to blame because at a point away back I yielded to myself. Likewise, if I obey God I do so because I have yielded myself to Him.
Yield in childhood to selfishness, and you will find it the most enchaining tyranny on earth. There is no power in the human soul of itself to break the bondage of a disposition formed by yielding. Yield for one second to anything in the nature of lust (remember what lust is: “I must have it at once,” whether it be the lust of the flesh or the lust of the mind) – once yield and though you may hate yourself for having yielded, you are a bondslave to that thing. There is no release in human power at all but only in the Redemption. You must yield yourself in utter humiliation to the only One Who can break the dominating power viz., the Lord Jesus Christ – “He hath anointed me . . . to preach deliverance to all captives.”
You find this out in the most ridiculously small ways – “Oh, I can give that habit up when I like.” You cannot, you will find that the habit absolutely dominates you because you yielded to it willingly. It is easy to sing – “He will break every fetter” and at the same time be living a life of obvious slavery to yourself. Yielding to Jesus will break every form of slavery in any human life.

hello i submitted a remark a little while back on the subject of how to speed up my twilight eclipse site’s loading time considering that we made use of the same theme at the time and someone placed a remark answering it on my weblog a few days ago – if that was you I simply wanted to say regards, and if it was not you then i’m sorry to bother you, but thanks anyhow! 🙂
hello handy little journal you got there 😉 I use the same exact theme on my website yet for whatever nutty factor it seems to stream at a higher speed on this web site despite the fact that this site features alot more content material. Are you employing any plug ins or widgets that will speed it up? If you might be able to write about the plug ins so that I might use these in my personal blog so twilight breaking dawn followers could watch twilight eclipse online trailers and videos more easily I’d be ever so pleased – thank you in advance 🙂
