I am humbled when I go to the Word of God and let Him reveal the truth of the Gospel of the Kingdom. Jesus didn’t miss a beat from His Fathers heart. Even all the way through to His death He was obiedient, not to take advantage of His diety. Up until Jesus came and fullfilled the law and brought relationship back to man, sacrifices were made only by the priests. The animals were slaughtered outside the gates, then their blood was brought into the altar for atonement of the people for one more year.
Once Jesus came, He set the religious world and doctrine on it’s head and change took place and was made complete once and for all time. His body and flesh was beaten and crucified outside the gates of the city on a hill overlooking the city. His body laid to rest in a borrowed tomb. His blood flowed completly to the altar of God for sacrifice and complete propitiation of man, woman, and child. For all who would believe on Him as the Christ, so we would have life with Him.
Can there be anything that we could bring to the altar which could make up an adequate sacrifice for what we have done in our life, that would atone for our sins against God? Impossible by all our standards would be us trying to create a method or doctrine of a new religion making us good enough. As we would try to widen the path to God, believing false doctines and deceptions of, anyone and everyone is going to make it to God.
There can be no sacrifice that will take the place of what Jesus the Christ made for mankind!
We can sing great gospel hymns, scripture songs, while we gather in our churches, temples and gatherings. *Until we have revelation come alive inside us as to what the blood of Jesus Christ did for us, we are as a banging symbol, making noise to be heard and seen by man.
When the connection gets switched to the on position and comes to be alive in you, praise and worship comes into a whole different realm. Yes, we can choose to keep the flame unseen or dampened to low key, but how frustrating it is to know how close His touch is and to hold back from Him. To step into the presence of God in pure attitude of Love and thanksgiving, that is truely being set free.
The blood, which is life from God given unselfishly by His son Jesus is poured into you, it is the blood of Christ in you that makes you want to give praise. *A Sacrifice of Praise, the Deep calling out to Deep!
At this point, you may be standing, sitting, dancing, shouting, weeping, laying prostrate on the ground, whatever it looks like for you no one but you can know this. Whatever it looks like for you, you will not care about others watching and wondering how crazy you are. This type of worship is something , if you ever taste it you will yearn to go there more like David.
Let Jesus Christ (the word of God) shower you with His Love and anoint you with revelation of the blood, and true freedom in the Spirit of God!
