Breaking Our Independent Spirit

Most of us in America were raised to be fiercely independent.  Our level of independence was often the measure of our maturity.  

That admirable trait, in the eyes of the world, impacts how we are able to build intimacy with God.  When we fall short of full surrender to Jesus Christ because of our independent spirit, we end up living on the fence - half in a spiritual life and have in a carnal life.  

Only a Holy Spirit led lifestyle that fosters our intimacy with Our Heavenly Father will enable us to completely surrender our lives to Jesus.  We will have reached spiritual maturity when we get off the fence and become consciously devoted to God in all that we do.
