Life Changing

This book explains our need to be filled by the Holy Spirit and how to do it!! Must have !!!!

Carnal vs Spiritual Christian walk

It is my personal belief that the topic covered in this book is what the Majority of Christians throughout the World NEED THE MOST! "Judgment begins at the house of God", and So does Revival. Most Christian's think of Revival as Great Numbers of the Lost coming to faith. This is not true! This was actually the "overflow" or "latter rain" of the Revivals of the Past! True Revival is always preceeded by MUCH PRAYER and Begins with God's Call to His People to a Closer Walk with him, a Higher Christian Walk, a Deeper Chistian Walk where in God Calls his people to a Walk of Holiness, Godliness, where in he "sets his people free" Delivering them from the "bondage" of the "Carnal" Christian walk of SELF. as in Romans 7:14-25 and into the "spiritual" walk of Romans chapter 8!!! This is what the topic of the book REALLY is and EVERY CHRISTIAN should pray that God would bring him into the "spiritual understanding" (I Cor 2:) of the walk and how it is that God Delivers from the POWER OF SIN AND SELF BY HIS OMNIPOTENT POWER!!!

See how surrender becomes victory!

Murray challenges us with the uncompromising truth that God calls for nothing less than our total surrender to Him, yet also comforts us with the uncompromising truth that we are powerless to do so...that we must allow God, in His grace, to do for us all that He requires. We must become nothing in ourselves so God can be everything, and only by His power can we hope to forget ourselves and come to know Him.The text is easy to read, which makes it all the more impossible to dismiss. Absolute surrender is difficult not because we don't understand what Murray means, but because we do. Each chapter is well organized, and the book culminates with a clear account of the parable that God the Father is the Vinedresser, Jesus Christ is the Vine, the Holy Spirit is the Life of the Vine, we are the branches and the promise of the Kingdom is in the grapes.

Surrender and Let God Have His Way With You!

Reading this book will help the Christian enter into a deeper maturity and understanding of a personal relationship with the Lord.Among the many excellent points Murray mentions are:1. God will answer our prayers if we are totally surrendered to Him.2. We must have unbounded trust in God and His goodness.3. God is able to pour His love into our hearts so we may in turn love others.4. Live in the power of the Holy Spirit and not your own flesh!5. What we cannot do, God can do!6. The Apostle Peter had to be humbled before he was used greatly by God.7. We must live in utter dependence and trust in God.8. Everything will be alright when we absolutely surrender to Christ.Read the book and be encouraged to walk deeper with Jesus!

The title says it all!

Like many Christians, you began in the Spirit; God wooed you from a life of sin and self, and you gave your life to Him. Yet somehow your life in Christ that began in the Spirit, you think will be perfected by your efforts. You have somehow confounded the invitation of our Savior to "Abide in Him" as a command coming forth from Mt. Sinai; i.e. something that you have to do in response to His call. Pastor Murray gives us the simple, yet profound remedy for successful Christian living; Absolute Surrender. When we present our bodies as a living sacrifice unto God, He is able to accomplish what He promised He would do in our lives. Nothing less than Absolute Surrender will do.

Absolutely Brilliant!

Andrew Murray targets, perhaps, the single hardest, yet absolutely necessary attitude to living victoriously in Christ. A life-changing classic for both new and mature Christians!

A life-changing book for every surrendered Christian.

This book is very encouraging for every believer that desires to surrender their life completely to Christ. Murray comforts us by emphasizing that the work of sanctification and surrender rests on the shoulders of Christ himself, not us. Even in fear and trembling, when we surrender our lives to Christ for His glory, He accepts our surrender and sees it to completion. Amen! A must read!
