The Place Where You End

i begin

Jesus wants you to know that He desires and will do the impossible for you if you cease from your fretful, futile, and frantic struggle to keep yourself, to deliver yourself, to work out your own problems. He says: “I am the Lord that keepeth thee”. Jesus wants you to put your life into His hands, to rest in Him, to learn to totally trust where you don’t understand, and to let Him lift you above every problem that comes your way; to get you so confident in His love for you that nothing will easily shake you.

[prophecy] No man can save himself, or add Me and My power and virtue to himself by the force of his own will and works. That’s the madness of self-righteous man. It’s only in failing, in falling, in being weak and in need, and in desperation calling out to Me to do for you what you know you can’t do for yourself that the miracle of deliverance from your problems by My great power can be performed.

As for the works of the flesh‚ how difficult it is to rescue a drowning man when he’s still frantically trying to save himself. His mind is full of fear and he’s a danger to all who come near to help him. Often Jesus wants to help you more in a situation, but He must wait until you stop struggling so hard. When you’re in a great battle with your fears and problems, you must learn to trust Him to save you and cease from your frantic efforts in the flesh so that He can speak to you, still your heart, and bring you out of many waters.
