A Spiritual Birthday & A New Commitment
Happy Birthday to me! 🎉 Twenty-eight years ago today, I gave my life to Christ… Thank You, Jesus!
Today feels like more than just an anniversary—it feels like a call to go deeper.
CB has been talking about a study she and her husband are going through called “Kingdom Guide” from the Open Heaven website. Curious, I decided to look it up.
The introduction alone tugged at my heart.
It speaks of seeking the mysteries of God—truths that can only be revealed by the Spirit. But there’s a cost: total surrender. The Spirit won’t reveal deeper mysteries unless we release everything—our desires, our control, our very lives—into God’s hands.
One passage stood out:
"Only as God’s ultimate wisdom permeates our hearts can we know real peace and fulfillment. And only as we give our all to God—everything we have, everything we are, and everything we care about—will we be in position to be given ears to hear the deep hidden mysteries of the Kingdom of God."
I could feel the weight of that truth.
The Prayer Agreement
At the end of the introduction was a “Prayer Agreement”—a personal covenant with God, meant to be signed and dated as a spiritual stake in time.
The prayer called for a deep, unwavering commitment:
- To repent and turn from anything in my heart that stands in the way.
- To release everything—family, ambitions, possessions, dreams—fully into His hands.
- To bind all darkness, deception, and tradition that might blind me.
- To loose the Spirit of revelation in my life.
- To receive the mind of Christ and hear the hidden mysteries of God.
So I signed and dated it—March 22nd, the same day I gave my life to Jesus 28 years ago.
It felt like confirmation of what BA had told me—I needed to pray for the revelatory gifts and seek clarity from the Holy Spirit.
I know this is only the beginning. I need clarity. I need God’s direction. But most of all, I need less of me and more of Him.
So today, my prayer is simple:
Father, help me truly let go. Let me surrender everything to You.
