MondayMorningMinute::Week Twenty::Dependency

This week's MMM is going to be short, yet I have a feeling, difficult to process. Yesterday we spoke in the message about the importance of being a church that is wholly dependent upon God. The church at Philadelphia was small yet powerful because of their incredible dependency upon God. So, while thinking through that, and thinking through the struggles that we have in an American context, how can our church help promote dependency to a greater degree, and how can we make sure that we are each daily renewing our dependency on Christ?

If we are going to effectively "Reach, Teach and Unleash committed followers of Christ" we must be sold out to dependence. How can we make that happen?

Read and meditate daily on Who God is--His attributes: His sovereignty, omnipotence, omniscience, immutability; His love, patience,grace and mercy; His holiness and His wrath...See the picture of who and what I am: proud, willful, independent, sinful...Needy.
See God; see myself...prayerfully, in the Spirit...

And if I can't, let me fall on the grace that first brought me to You..."
"Surrender don't come natural to me. I'd rather fight You for something I don't really
want than to take what You give that I need
And I've beaten my head against so many walls
I'm falling down, I'm falling on my knees..."
