Empty me Totally My Lord


Before dying to myself I totally repented for all the sins that I did knowingly and unknowingly.It was not as if I wanted to repent but I was made to repent by the spirit of god. Oh! when you go through this process and start remembering everything that you it will  shock you to know how many people you have hurt in the past.
As you are taken back in time you will be made to remember very hidden secret  and sin.

The Lord will break you down before he builds you up. 

A true Child of God cannot continue to habitually live a lifestyle of sin; it is impossible! In fact, if someone claims to be a Child of God, yet continues to habitually continue in sin, it is more than likely they were never genuinely born again in the first place.

My dear sisters there is a difference between regret and repentance. Regret happens when you are caught; repentance happens when you are convicted.  You see, regret cries tears, repentance bears fruit .Regret is driven by what others will think; repentance is by what God will think.Regret is about how you feel; repentance is about the fact that you know you have broken the heart of God.


When the Lord dealt with me with love the first thing that happened to me was I had to  slowly die  to myself.I had to empty myself,as I slowly began to empty myself of so many of the things that composed life as I knew it — my plans, my goals, many of my habits,  — I found that I was not left empty.



Rather, there was immediately Something there to fill me up, Something whose presence increased  and my old self began to  decreased. But there was something else there as well, something that had been lost that I’d never tried to find ....Me.

The Lord has taught me that Die before dying,” meaning, “Know yourself before you die.”
In other words I must decrease and God must increase.
 When you start dying to yourself you will start feeling God's presence everywhere starting with yourself.

"I tell you the truth, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds." John 12:24
  • You will not see with your eyes but with his
  • You will not hear with your ears but with his
  • You will not speak your words but his
  • You will not love with your heart but with his
The Lord will become the strength of all the parts of your being.”

Dying to your self, is a purging of all that is not love; it is a process of breaking down the walls that block out Love ; it is a way — the only way — of truly finding ourselves.  




Instead of focusing on how to get OUT of your trouble, focus on how well you’re getting THROUGH your trouble. Don’t miss His purpose for you in the midst of your trouble because you were in such a hurry to get out of it.

I cannot always expect to understand  why and how and where God has led me and what He has brought me to do. In other words, “I’m not called to understand, I’m called to obey.”
