I you really want to surrender to God and to receive the eternal life and ongoing life transformation He promises, you have to surrender to God as He has revealed Himself in Jesus Christ. To attempt to surrender to any other "manifestation" you might call god, it to submit to a god of your own making. That is because there is no Other than the One Who has revealed Himself in time, in history, in space. Jesus stated clearly, "If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father." Do not submit to deception. It ends in death beyond dying. Only Jesus Christ can give you life.
PRAYER Jesus Christ NEVER taught on what we call "unanswered prayer." James wrote that a divided loyalty between trusting the Lord God for life and at the same time relying on the world's systems to get what you want will result in you not getting anything from God you may have prayed about. God will never reinforce the unbelief that flows from divided loyalty. THAT is not unanswered prayer. That is God saying, "No." to your request. God saying, "No." to your requests is not unanswered prayer. It is His grace. His "No" is just what I would want if I knew what He knows. The Lord also answers with, "Not now; not yet." because we are not yet prepared to receive what we think we need. God works in us both to will and to do His good pleasure. If I am praying for something God wants to do in me and the Holy Spirit is working in me preparing me to receive what God has in store, His "Not yet." is NOT unanswered prayer. As we see...
