I Surrender All
The Bible teaches that Salvation is a one-time transformation. But is there more to having a fulfilled Christian life? Harkening the thoughts of AW Tozer, Oswald Chambers, along with her own muddied experience, Rachel dives deep into what it means to truly surrender it all.
In The Pursuit of God, AW Tozer wrote:
“Everything is made to center upon the initial act of ‘accepting Christ.’ And we are not expected thereafter to crave any further revelation of God to our souls. We have been snared in [the belief] that if we have found Him, we need no more to seek Him.”
Oswald Chambers taught, “Along each step of this process, we will have to give up our claims to our rights to ourselves. Are we willing to surrender our grasp on all that we possess, our desires, and everything else in our lives?”
How difficult is it for us to hold out our hands in a gesture of surrender to God? What if surrender brings something we don’t want? This deep truth and teaching from God’s Word challenges even the most devoted believers to:
Identify barriers that keep us from true freedom in Christ
Learn that “dying to self” means we must attend a funeral—our own
Discover how brokenness leads to fulfillment and wholeness
You will laugh, and possibly cry, but you will be challenged in a way that may deepen your faith to a level often few surrendered believers experience.
This topic is best suited for mature Christian audiences. Great also for women’s conferences, adult women and men, Christian Universities and weekend events.
"We were privileged to have Rachel come and speak to our church twice. She is an amazing speaker with a tremendous heart for sharing the truth of God's Word through her riveting testimony. Now, you must know that I was eavesdropping on the Women's Weekend at the church I pastor. But, I'll tell you, listening to Rachel share in her talk, "I Surrender All" was so humbling and inspiring. I've listened to many speakers through the years, and being a pastor, myself, I know how to speak and seek to hold a crowd... Rachel does this effortlessly.
Truly, Rachel has been gifted by God. I highly recommend her to anyone that desires to hear the truth shared in a powerful and gracious way!"
Pastor Kevin Brown, Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, Wilkesboro, North Carolina
