Obedience is not the final stage of our maturity in Christ… it’s our training for a life of partnership with Him. It’s the beginning. There is more than complying with the Word of the Lord. There is more than acquiescing to the command of the Lord. Much more! The joy comes from a place of surrender to the will of the Lord, but a surrender so complete that we are swept into the momentum of saying yes. It’s a surrender so deep that we are partners in the thoughts and will of God.
There is more for us than obedience. And yet, there is not less. Obedience is the teacher that leads us into true joy. We were made to worship the Lord. We were created to bring Him pleasure. There is a partnership with Jesus that to describe is nothing short of miraculous. God will grant to us the honor of moving His heart… of hastening His day. This is lofty indeed!
I. BE UNTO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WILL
Luke 1
[26] In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, [27] to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. [28] And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” [29] But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. [30] And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. [31] And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. [32] He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, [33] and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
[34] And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” [35] And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. [36] And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. [37] For nothing will be impossible with God.” [38] And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.
A. Saying yes to the Lord is the beginning of the supernatural in your life. Mary could have gotten stuck in the details, asking, “How will this be?” Many of us get stuck trying to figure out how the Word of the Lord will come to pass in our lives. We look and look, but we can’t see how it will unfold. Beloved, the Word of the Lord comes to pass because of the work of the Holy Spirit.
B. We are desperate for a move of the Spirit. We long to see a move of God in our lives, in our regions and nation. So, we have to say yes to the Holy Spirit. We must say, like Mary, “Behold, I am a servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.”
C. Have you said yes to the Lord, or are you still trying to figure it out? Are you still trying to figure out how you are going to make it all happen? The plans of the Lord, believe it or not, will require the Lord. A move of the Spirit will require the Spirit. There is far more for us! Say yes! Just say yes.
II. OBEDIENCE IS THE BEGINNING BUT CERTAINLY NOT THE END
A. Obedience opens the door to the supernatural realm of God in your life. The Kingdom of Heaven manifests in our lives when we surrender to the expressed will of God. Let me put it this way, the Kingdom of Heaven (the blessing of Heaven) will not operate while we are in explicit disobedience. Salvation is the manifestation of God in us from the place of being reconciled. Physical healing is the manifestation of our bodies being reconciled to God. Deliverance is the manifestation of ou
