Prophets Of Surrender

Throughout the Bible, we see many of the Heavenly Father’s prophets walking in deep humility and obedience. Their devotion to the Lord is so sincere and powerful that it often stirs a healthy envy within us. Not jealousy, but a longing to walk with God the way they did. As disciples, we desire that same level of surrender, submission, and closeness with the Lord. And this is because we desire to see the effects that these disciples would see in the Old Testament.

When the Heavenly Father walked with His disciples and called them to deliver a message, whether to His holy people or to another town, he stayed close to them. Every assignment came with his presence. When he sent them, he went with them and guided them with his presence and living word.

When we look at the prophet Abraham, we see a man who obeyed the Heavenly Father with complete trust. Abraham left his hometown and his father’s house to go into the wilderness simply because The Heavenly Father called him. His obedience positioned him for the promise. After Abraham surrendered and followed Yahweh’s instruction, the Lord promised him a son, a gift from the Heavenly Father to Abraham and Sarah. This promise was not just a blessing, but a testimony of what happens when we walk in faith and obedience before the Lord. As Abraham continued his walk with the Lord over the years, he obeyed the Heavenly Father with consistency and humility. Because of his submission, the Lord blessed him abundantly, granting him great wealth, honor, and the long‑awaited child of promise. Yahweh elevated Abraham to such a degree that even kings felt threatened by his presence in their land.

We also can’t forget that Abraham actually encountered the Heavenly Father face‑to‑face. When he welcomed Him and two of His angels into his camp, fed them, and spoke with them. This moment shows the depth of Abraham’s relationship with Yahweh that one builds on obedience, reverence, and intimate fellowship. When the Heavenly Father prepared to bring judgment upon Sodom, He first visited Abraham, because Lot was living in that city. Abraham walked closely with the Lord, witnessing miracles and mighty works that shaped his life. That faithfulness didn’t end with him; it overflowed into the generations that followed.

Another prophet who followed the Lord and witnessed extraordinary works was the prophet Elijah. Elijah was deeply submitted to the Heavenly Father, and because of his obedience, he saw wonders in his lifetime that revealed God’s power and authority. His faith was so strong that he was able to call down fire from heaven to confront Jezebel’s false prophets, those who were misleading the Lord’s holy people. Jezebel deceived the Lord’s people by accusing an innocent man of transgressing against God. Her lies stirred the people to stone him, all because she wanted to give her husband, King Ahab, the man’s plot of land. This woman was so wicked that she cunningly used the Lord‘s own laws against the Lord’s innocent people by twisting them as a daughter as Satan would by using deception, manipulation, and false witness to achieve her desires.When the Lord sent Elijah to deliver his message to the holy people and to confront Jezebel and her prophets who were misleading the Lord’s holy people, Elijah did just as the Lord wanted by glorifying the Lord in the holy peoples eyes. Elijah walked in such deep submission to the Heavenly Father that the power of God flowed through him in extraordinary ways. He could run faster than chariots. He could call down fire from heaven. He could pray and stop the rain, and pray again to release it. Elijah also had the privilege of receiving an audience with the Heavenly Father Himself. He knew the Lord’s voice so clearly that he could distinguish it from every other voice. He received food from angels to strengthen him for the journey ahead, showing how intimately the Father cared for him and equipped him. Elijah was a servant fully submitted to Yahweh, and because of that surrender, he witnessed wonders that revealed God’s glory. He not only walked with the Lord, he poured into the next generation of disciples, passing on the mantle and preparing others to continue the work of the Kingdom.

This next profit is someone who is rarely even talked about, and his name is Enoch, and this prophet is known for being taken up into the heavens by the Heavenly Father. There’s only a few sentences in the Bible that refers to Enoch walking with the Heavenly Father so closely “that he was not”. Because of this, there’s so many people who will say today that they want to walk so closely with The Heavenly Father that they want to be a “was not too.” The prophet Enoch also dealt with giants during his time. Enoch did not fight the giants or anything like that but they were around because of the angels that mixed with human women and they created giants on the earth. He was given visions and insight of the world that Yahweh has created beyond what we know, and deep understanding about things that people would love to be able to have knowledge about. Enoch walked with The Heavenly Father and in his books he wrote about his encounter with the Lord, and the unbelievable things that he had seen that was going on in the Heavenly Kingdom. And if you ever have time, you should read those books.

All three of these profits walked so closely with the Lord that they had an effect on the world around them and they had a encounter with The Heavenly Father that people would love to have as followers of Christ, or if they would give the Lord a chance. We can learn how much can we give to the heavenly father to surrender ourselves to the Lord to obey to look towards him for all things righteous and true. To look to the Lord for all of our answers that we might wanna know in the world, and what should we do?, who should be our husband?, or who should be our wife?, or what does he want us to accomplish in his time? What does he need help with? These are things that we can ask The Heavenly Father so that we can better walk with him to let his will take affect in our lives. So ask yourself how much more do you need to surrender to The Heavenly Father so that you can also have this kind of a walk with the Lord?
