You Have Nothing to Lose

You Have Nothing to Lose
Gloria Copeland 

Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall
eat the fruit of their doings. Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with
him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him. Isaiah 3:10-11

Have you ever been afraid to give yourself totally to the Lord because you
think you might be deprived of some pleasure in this life? Chances are,
you have. That's because Satan is working overtime to convince you that he
can really make your life worth living. But don't believe him for a
minute. The real truth is, yielding completely to the Lord won't cost you
anything that's worth having. It will only cause you to live life to its
fullest! 

Jesus' life on earth was a perfect example of a totally yielded life. He
was a walking example of the benefits godly living brings. Everywhere He
went, Jesus made the deaf to hear, the blind to see, the lame to walk. He
lived in perfect peace and absolute victory. 

That all sounds pretty good to me. All He missed out on was the devil
getting dominion over Him to kill, steal and destroy. In fact, the devil
couldn't do anything to Him until, by the Father's will, He laid down His
life. Until that time Jesus walked in total victory over the enemy. 

Do you think you would miss out on a lot if you lived that way? Of course
not! You can walk in that same anointing and power and glory of God that
Jesus did. 

Do you have to give up your whole life to do it? Yes! You have to trade
your life for the life of God. You have to trade your sickness for His
healing, your poverty for His prosperity, your anxiety for His peace, your
sin for His righteousness. 

So why hesitate? When it gets right down to it, you really have nothing to
lose.
