Scripture:

“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

2 Corinthians 12:9

Devotional:

The greatest weapon in spiritual warfare is not power itself — it’s surrender. Surrender is what unlocks divine power. The world says “take control”; the Spirit says “give it up.” Every place we yield becomes a place His presence fills.

Pastor Steve closed his Sunday message with this reminder: the Holy Spirit is the weapon. The more space He gets, the more power is revealed. Sometimes victory doesn’t look like conquering - it looks like kneeling.

When we surrender, the Holy Spirit doesn’t just fight for us; He fights through us. Miracles become natural outcomes of a fully yielded life. And when the world sees a believer who’s truly surrendered - peaceful in chaos, steadfast in testing - they see the unmistakable power of God.

Reflection Questions:

1. What’s one area of my life I’m resisting surrendering to God?

2. How does surrender shift the way I see spiritual warfare?

3. What would change if I let the Holy Spirit take full control?

Prayer:

Holy Spirit, I surrender again. Empty me of self-reliance and fill me with Your strength. Let Your power flow freely through my weakness, for Your glory alone.

Action Step:

End the week by writing a surrender prayer in your journal. Title it “My Weapon.” Name the areas you’re releasing and declare your trust in Him.
