The word surrender means to give up possession or power. When I came to Earth, I gave up My power in glory to come to live with you. I surrendered totally to My Father's will. I gave up everything I had in heaven in order to provide everything for you.
I had human feelings and even though I knew that I had to die to provide forgiveness for your sins, it was a battle for Me to finally surrender to My Father's will. I knew that all the sins of the whole world would be placed upon Me, and I knew that My heart would break under that pressure. However, the Holy Spirit empowered Me to pray, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to You; take away this cup from Me: nevertheless not what I will, but what You will."
I needed the Holy Spirit to help Me surrender, and you also daily need the power of the Holy Spirit to help you surrender to My Father's will for you. Today, ask the Holy Spirit to help you surrender completely to My Father's will. When you do this, My Spirit will not only give you the desire to do My Father's will, but also the power to obey My Father's will.
