Articles of Surrender

In firm understanding of my condition and having exhausted all other avenues and resources at my disposal, do agree to a total surrender to the High King of Heaven. This surrender contains specific provisions that the King has promised. He has paid for all past and future rebellious acts thru the willing sacrifice of His Son. He has agreed, upon my death, to take me to His home and accept me as an heir to the Kingdom. He has promised never to leave or forsake me, regardless of the quality my adherence to the terms of this surrender.

This unconditional surrender includes all of me, my heart, my life, my soul. Having previously pledged my life to Jesus, the Son of the High King; the remaining portions of my life, that I have tried unsuccessfully to manage myself, are now to be turned over to the control and care of the King.

All of my property, material possessions, associations, friendships, and future holdings are subject to the rule and control of the King. Control over the direction and pace of my life forthwith are to be carried out in consultation with the High Counselor (Holy Spirit) and the duly appointed representatives of the Kingdom placed in my life for support, counseling, guidance, oversight, and encouragement.

This surrender is a conscious act of my will; I understand that I will need to renew my pledge to surrender on a continual basis. I will also need to examine the hidden areas and motivations of my person in order to surrender those areas as well. Additional areas and motivations are to be surrendered as they are revealed.

As a public token of this agreement; a ring inscribed with the word surrender is to be worn on the right hand. This ring is to be a constant reminder of my position as a surrendered soul, and the price that was paid to obtain my surrender.
