The Altar, A place where we get married, receive salvation, dedicate our babies and funeralize our loved ones. a place where we give, we sacrifice, and make vows to the Lord, but have we truly given we ourselves over to the Lord at the altar or are we being full of rituals or out of obligation just because we are in church, and others said it was the right thing to do, but have we ourselves have sincerely given ourselves over to the Lord .The altar is a true place of worship, where we choose to surrender by dying to ourselves, our importances and allow God to do deep rooted works with in that His purpose can be done for us, to us, and through us. Catherine Kuhlman said it best it cost her everything. She sowed her life for the Life of Christ can flow through her. It's not by might, nor by power but only by the Holy Spirit. Dying to self is when we choose to die to the flesh that the spirit of the living God may live. In order to give life, you must sow life. Jesus understood this concept before being crucified in the book of Luke 22:42 He ask the Father if it be your will to take this cup away from nevertheless, not my will but thine be done. The Father wanted to give us life so He sowed His only begotten son Jesus, that we may have and enjoy life to the full and until our lives overflow with his goodness. Anytime God calls us to a process, He is elevating us that He can gain greater glory from our lives. He calls us to the altar, to present ourselves as a sacrifice to be slaughtered and to become as a burnt offering for the Kingdom of God. A sweet-smelling savor into the nostrils of the Father. The anointing gifts and callings will grow greater and more effective for the body of Christ. Salvation is free to all that desire Christ, but the oil will cost you. In Matt 22:14" Many are called, but few are chosen "Jesus was the perfect sacrifice without spot, blemish or wrinkle, His name is above every name because He paid the price. have you counted up the cost for the oil on your life? To be used by God authentically it will cost you. The question is, are you willing to pay the price? That the Father will be pleased and many are saved, healed delivered and set free. Love is what love does. The Father offered up himself in His Son Jesus to show His love for us. This is the type of love the Lord has toward us as His children if we allow Him to. The Father wants connection, covenant relationship with us. This is the way God loves to us We as human being were created for relationships. Whether its family, friends, marriage, business etc. We were created to relate. This is the way that God intended. In the book of Genesis 2:18 God said "It is not good for man to be alone: I'll make him a helper, a companion. This scripture is evidence of the will of God concerning relationships. There are many in our society that desire and long for true and authentic relationships. Whether its family, friends, marriage, business, etc. There is a longing to belong. Many have become clueless or even enter into the wrong relationships that were very toxic and damaging, To the point that it caused trauma to our souls. The trauma of those bad relationships will have us sometimes, to have to go and isolate ourselves in order to go through our healing process. But there is a Father who is a healer to the broken hearted. The real and true relation the person can truly have been 1) The relationship with the Heavenly Father and 2} The relationship with ourselves. How we treat or relate to people is how we treat and relate to ourselves and vice versa. So, my prayer for you today is, that this book will bring a whole new sense of your true identity in God and a strong rooted foundation in your relationship with Abba Father. You do not have to jump through hoops to please the Father. Just come to Him as you are and become changed in his image and his likeness. Be blessed in DOUBLEPORTIONS and remember, you are you are going up and you cannot be stopp...
