Yesterday we spoke of Saul becoming Paul and leaving his previous 'dead man' behind! Today I want to reinforce that radical change with THIS from Oswald Chambers' "My Utmost For His Highest"!
Are You Ready To Be Offered?
I am already being poured out as
a drink offering. — 2 Timothy 4:6 (R. V. Marg.)
“I am ready to be offered” (kjv).
It is a transaction of will, not of sentiment. Tell God you are ready
to be offered; then let the consequences be what they may, there is no strand
of complaint now, no matter what God chooses. God puts you through the crisis
in private, no one person can help an other. Externally the life may be the
same; the difference is in will. Go through the crisis in will, then when it
comes externally there will be no thought of the cost. If you do not transact
in will with God along this line, you will end in awakening sympathy for
yourself.
“Bind the sacrifice with cords,
even unto the horns of the altar.” The altar means fire — burning and
purification and insulation for one purpose only, the destruction of every
affinity that God has not started and of every attachment that is not an
attachment in God. You do not destroy it, God does; you bind the sacrifice
to the horns of the altar; and see that you do not give way to self-pity when
the fire begins. After this way of fire, there is nothing that oppresses or
depresses. When the crisis arises, you realize that things cannot touch you as
they used to do. What is your way of fire?
Tell God you are ready to be
offered, and God will prove Himself to be all you ever dreamed He would be.
AMEN!!! Let's make sure that we have gotten ourselves 'READY' by receiving JESUS as Lord and Saviour and then by receiving the Infilling of His Spirit! NOW commit YOUR ways into HIS hands and allow HIM to make us and mold us into His very image and likeness! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Who You Say I Am":
Shalom in Him!
