The whole heart must be yielded to God, or the change can never be wrought in us by which we are to be restored to His likeness. By nature we are alienated from God. The Holv Spirit describes our condition in such words as these: “Dead in trespasses and sins;” “the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint;” “no soundness in it.”
We are held fast in the snare of Satan, “taken captive by him at his will.” (Ephesians 2:1; Isaiah 1:5, 6; 2 Timothy 2:26.) God desires to heal us, to set us free. But since this requires an entire transformation, a renewing of our whole nature, we must yield ourselves wholly to Him.
The warfare against self is the greatest battle that was ever fought. The yielding of self, surrendering all to the will of God, requires a struggle; but the soul must submit to God before it can be renewed in holiness.

I desire to yield to christ. It’s my desire.. I’m not sure how this transition works. By faith I understand.. I’m not necessarily into the materials of this world I’ve never had much so it’s not ‘desires’ I can’t part from.. God has SHOWN me He exists. He’s answered prayers TOTALLY and I love Him. I desire conviction and dedication. My Grandmother’s transformation was incredible which is my desire. She CHOSE God. How? I’d like to be transformed as I watched her transition. She gave Maher husband a choice and it wasn’t God. Divorce came and so did her change. Please guide me to the cross. There is so much more I’d like to understand. I need to SEE my transformation mentally emotionally and spiritual. Please comply
