Surrender to the Holy Spirit
Written by Leanne Smit - Podcast featuring Liz Wright/Hayley Braun | 1st March 2024
I wanted to encourage you with this podcast episode of Live Your Best Life with Liz Wright, Liz welcomes Hayley Braun to discuss the power of fully surrendering to the Holy Spirit. Hayley shares her personal journey of overcoming the fear of man and stepping into true freedom by allowing God to lead every aspect of her life.
This conversation highlights the importance of trust, intimacy with God, and the transformation that comes through yielding to His presence. Maybe this next season is about release of personal striving and embracing a life directed by the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
What could a limitless God do in your life if you were fully surrendered to him? I would encourage you to listen and let the Holy Spirit speak to you about your personal journey with him.
LET’S DO THIS
Take some time to sit and listen to this beautiful song.
Jesus wants every area of your life and he wants all of you. Surrender can be hard, but what if you knew that by handing something over to Him, meant getting an even bigger and better gift? Freedom, joy, new seasons of boldness and courage, doing something that you never thought you would ever or could ever do and so much more. We don’t lose anything through this exchange with Jesus, but we do get a lot more than we could ever imagine.
Think about what areas of your life you are still holding on to control, and how might fully surrendering to the Holy Spirit bring you greater freedom?
Maybe write down specific areas where you feel resistance to surrendering control and ask the Holy Spirit to help you release these areas, handing over control, trusting in His leading.
As a prophetic act, hold out your hands in front of you and say ‘Jesus have (name the area of control or struggle)’ Now ask the Holy Spirit what He wants to give you in exchange.
Spend some time just listening and resting in Him. Even if you don’t hear straight away, don’t worry. Start writing down any thoughts you might have as this will start to come clearer as time goes on.
