A 2024 Word
A 2024 Word
"Then said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it." (Matt. 16:24–25 KJV)
We often want to choose our place and type of sacrifice – something that is easy to "give up" or costs little. David said he would not offer a sacrifice that cost him nothing (2 Sam. 24:24).
A true sacrifice costs us.
I believe this is a 2024 word for those that want to see God move in greater ways in their lives; ascension and expansion will come, but it will cost. Many have said that 2024 is the year of more. If we want more of God, more of His Kingdom being expanded, more revelation, more power, more of HIS life in and through us, there is a price. Jesus paid the price for our salvation, but in order to bring His Kingdom in and through our lives, it will cost us.
He Chooses the Sacrifice
The true place of ascension and expansion will come from the sacrifice that God chooses... those things He puts His finger on.
"Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ." (1 Pet. 2:5 KJV)
Our spiritual sacrifices are acceptable to God by Jesus Christ... through Him. When we think of spiritual sacrifices, we often think of praise and worship, tithing, offering, service, etc., but if it is through our desires and our understanding, it isn't a spiritual sacrifice by Jesus Christ. A true spiritual sacrifice is only that which He initiates, what the Lord reveals He wants us to sacrifice. Guaranteed, it will cost us our "right to self" and all that entails. It can be very painful, but He will help us if we ask Him! He knows about sacrifice!
We are to offer ourselves as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God (Rom. 12:1). Becoming the burnt offering takes us into an ascended place, dying to self and living unto God. I hear the Spirit of the Lord saying, "If you want to come up higher, don't be surprised by My consuming fire." He chooses the place and the sacrifice He desires. Then He consumes it with His holy fire and we ascend.
"Take heed to yourself that you do not offer your burnt offerings in every place that you see; but in the place which the LORD chooses, in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you." (Deut. 12:13–14 NKJV)
Are you stuck? I encourage you, trust and obey God's leading. What has He been asking you to sacrifice? What did He ask you to do that you haven't done? When God is asking you to make a sacrifice there is a reason for it. There is never a sacrifice He asks of you that will not bring His blessing of ascension to a greater relationship with Him and expansion of His life in and through yours. It's a place He wants to take you that you can't get to any other way!
"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service." (Rom. 12:1 KJV)m. 12:1 KJV)
