Week Seven Question with my response

Week Seven Question:

Have you come to your last days? Do you agree with God that you stop being the striving, earnest kind of Christian you have been? Have you had your ‘white funeral,’ or are you sacredly playing the fool with your soul? Is there a place in your life marked as the last day, a place to which the memory goes back with a chastened and extraordinarily grateful remembrance – “Yes, it was then, at that ‘white funeral,’ that I made an agreement with God. Are you willing to go through that ‘white funeral’ now? Do you agree with Him that this is your last day on earth?

“No one enters into the experience of entire sanctification without going through a ‘white funeral’ – the burial of the old self” - Chambers Jan. 15
My Response to Week Seven Question:
Dying to self – my “white funeral” – not just dying once at the time of salvation. It is more – often. Daily lying on the altar, waiting for fire to descend. Being crucified with Christ does not mean standing at the foot of the cross feeling badly for His suffering.
Father-God, my heart agrees with You.
