My children in a time of decision

A time where they need to decide how they are going to walk

They are in a decision time

Their choice will reflect their destinies

Their decision is how they are going to walk

Their decision is how much of their lives they are going to surrender to the Lord

Their decision is how committed are they

To my purposes and to my ways

For many are trying to walk out their lives

The way they want to walk them out

Many of them claim me as Lord, but they are ruling their lives

Many are walking their walks out

With one foot in the world, and one foot in the kingdom

And those are the ones that are just going around the mountain

They are going around the border of my kingdom

But they are not going into my kingdom

Because one foot is still in the world

But I desire for complete and total surrender

I desire for my children to forsake the world

To forsake the philosophies of the world

To forsake the lifestyle of the world

And to turn their back on the world

And to walk squarely into my kingdom

For that is the only place of true advancement

That is the only way that you will completely and totally

Fulfill all that I have for you

For there seems to be an advancement

If you are still walking in the world and walking in my kingdom

You are going

You are moving

But you are really not moving further into the kingdom

You are just walking along the border

There seems to be advancement because you are not standing still

But you are NOT really advancing

You are NOT taking ground

You are just walking along the border

And I desire for you to come in closer

I desire for my children to turn their back on the world

And to walk deep into my kingdom

So that I can have my perfect work in him

So that they can be conformed into the image of my son

I desire a closer relationship

I desire for a more complete surrender to me and to my ways

For my ways are not the ways of this world

So come my child

Come in closer

Continue to forsake those things that are keeping you from drawing in closer

Press in to more of me

And leave behind those things that are holding you back

Surrender your heart

Surrender your ways

And put me on the throne of your life
