Dying to self is a moment by moment proposition (1 Cor. 15:36). There is no level of sanctification, anointing, or calling that exempts us from the need to surrender our lives, and submit our wills on a daily basis (Luke 14:27). Without an ongoing commitment to partake of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4), we are bound to fall to our human nature (Prov. 14:12).
