Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London.
*We are the Living Sacrifice*
The practice of constructing altars and offering sacrifices was initially a means of appeasing and honoring the Lord. Throughout history, as documented in the Scriptures, numerous individuals, including Abraham and Solomon, experienced profound spiritual encounters and witnessed miraculous events at these altars.
Nevertheless, David made a personal plea, expressing that sacrifices and meal offerings were not what the Lord truly desired or delighted in. Burnt offerings and sin offerings were not required, and it was not these acts that genuinely moved the Lord's heart. With profound commitment and intimacy, David declared, "Here I am, coming to you as a sacrifice." This exemplified a remarkable dedication and a deeply personal prayer.! (Ps 40:7)
In Romans 12:1-2 TPT, Apostle Paul penned that- [1] Beloved friends, what should be our proper response to God’s marvelous mercies? To surrender ourselves to God to be His sacred, living sacrifices. And live in Holiness, experiencing all that delights His heart. For this becomes our genuine expression of worship. [2] Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around us, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how we think. Amen.
This will empower us to discern God’s will as we live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in His eyes. Hallelujah 🙏.
Peace be upon The State of Israel. and Us. Shalom. 🙏. Have a good weekend. In His Grip. 🙏🙏🙏.
