In this sermon, Jeremiah Tipton explains that true surrender to the Holy Spirit is not an emotional experience but a disciplined, obedient response to God’s word and voice. He illustrates surrender through vivid biblical imagery—Jesus in Gethsemane—and enumerates everyday choices that demonstrate surrender: selecting holiness over sin, prayer over entertainment, Scripture over social media, and standing apart from gossip or immoral influences even when it invites ridicule. The core message is that surrender is manifested in consistent, concrete actions that prioritize the sacred over the secular, reflecting a heart aligned with God’s will.

Chapters

Surrender to the Holy Spirit is not a feeling, my friend. Surrender to the Holy Spirit is strict obedience to his word. Surrender to the Holy Spirit is strict obedience to his voice. Surrender to the Holy Spirit is Jesus in the garden just before his crucifixion, crying out, Father, if it's possible, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but your will be done. That's surrender. Every time that you choose holiness over sin, that's surrender. Every time you choose prayer over Netflix, that's surrender. Every time you choose the sacred over the entertaining, that's surrender. Every time you choose to read the Scripture instead of scrolling down some social media feed, that's surrender. Every time you choose to walk out when a movie is filthy and get made fun of by your friends, that's surrender. Every time you choose to not participate in gossip, that's surrender. Every time you choose to say no to that secret sin, that's surrender.
