Dying to Self DAILY | Deny Yourself, Take Up Your Cross & Follow Jesus
Jesus didn’t say to deny yourself once. He said to take up your cross DAILY and follow Him.
In this episode of the Discipleship Series, Kayla and Elwood talk about what it truly means to die to yourself and surrender your life to Jesus Christ.
Following Jesus isn’t simply adding Him to the life you already wanted. It means laying down your own will, crucifying the desires of the flesh, and choosing to follow where He leads—even when your flesh wants something different.
Jesus said:
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.” — Luke 9:23
That word DAILY matters.
Yesterday’s surrender doesn’t replace today’s obedience. Every day we have a choice: Will our flesh lead us, or will we surrender again and follow Jesus?
In this episode, we talk about:
• What it actually means to deny yourself
• Why the flesh and Spirit are at war
• What Jesus meant by “take up your cross”
• Why dying to self must happen DAILY
• Crucifying the desires of the flesh
• Obeying God when you don’t feel like it
• What we may still be unwilling to surrender
• Jesus’ example: “Not my will, but Yours be done”
• What dying to yourself looks like in everyday life
The question isn’t simply, “Do I believe in Jesus?”
The question is:
Have I surrendered my life to Him?
“Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.” — Galatians 5:24
Deny yourself.
Take up your cross.
DAILY.
And follow Him.
