We are the Living Sacrifice

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. 🙏🙏🙏.

The journey from Jerusalem to Damascus holds every detail of this profound transformation. It was an intense, 140-mile mission driven by fury to eradicate the followers of Christ—a mission sanctioned by the chief priest and spiritual leader but not approved by the Lord. God will halt what He does not permit , and so Saul was abruptly stopped, stunned by a blinding flash of light. In that moment, Jesus commanded him to go into the city, where he would be told what to do next. God has us where He wants us.... Saul had order, but in a split second, the very people he was leading ended up guiding him after a heavenly encounter caused him to lose his sight. Realizing he had been doing the exact opposite of what was right in the name of religion, he experienced a relationship with God for...
