"I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me." Galatians 2:20
D.L. Moody tells the story about hearing Rev Henry Varley once say, "The world has yet to see what God will do with and for and through the man who is fully and wholly consecrated to Him."
Pastor Varley did not say that God would use an intelligent or educated person. He did not say that God would use the best dressed or most wealthy person. What he said was that God would use the person "who is fully & wholly consecrated to Him".
You see, to live an empowered life we must give God our total commitment. But that requires us daily taking up our cross and leaving the past behind us. It means pressing forward and defeating the enemy in this life of spiritual warfare. 
How about it, are you ready to take up your cross and live the empowered life? Then surrender to Jesus today!
