Dead to self – Alive in Jesus

“If anyone would come after Me, he must deny himself “(Matt: 16)

If we want to see true revival in our personal lives, we need to die to self and to be alive in Christ. How can God use us if we are full of self, how does that glorify Him, we are just glorifying ourselves, we need to be broken to self, If we look at the great men of God they always say I can’t do it Lord, they look at themselves and know there own limitation , I sometimes think when I read this God is jumping up and down in Heaven shouting “Hallelujah you got it” then God turns and says its not you (self) but ME working through you, Jeremiah is a great example of this he gave God every excuse in the book

I have sat at the dinner table with some great men of God some of them are international preachers and think to myself I‘m going to have a fantastic conversation with them and they find it hard to communicate with me, because it not them up on that stage but God working through them, they are nothing without Christ.

We need to understand this basic principle we are nothing without God who strengthen us.

We need to die to self, we need to understand that when we are dead to self this is when God takes over, it is then we can say God is in me and I am in Him

I have heard Christian say we have freedom of choice, we can choose to do God’s will or not, these Christians need a new understanding that God is in us and we are in Him we are no longer making our own decisions, God as now become the decision maker, if we are in Revival we are dead to self, We are living God’s life through us.
