Needless Sacrifices

Busyness for the Lord isn’t necessarily evidence that one is spiritually awake. Quite often the opposite is true. When we are caught up in our doing it actually lulls us to sleep. It causes us to be dull in hearing the voice of the Lord and our relationship with Him suffers from shallowness. (Ephesians 5:13-17) Jesus ONLY did what He saw His Father doing, and only spoke what His Father was speaking. As a result, everything He did produced eternal fruit to His Father’s glory and advanced His Kingdom in the earth. He is our perfect example of being one with the Father’s purposes and intentions…His will…His heart. (John 5:19-30) It is out of our relationship with Him that eternal fruit is produced, not in our striving to attain, even for the Lord. But when we enter into this resting place of relationship with Him, to bear much fruit to our Father’s glory is the supernaturally natural outcome of this intimacy with Him. Obedience is better than sacrifice. What needless, and sometimes harmful sacrifices are being made on the altars of our busyness? (John 15:1-8) Instead of “making” sacrifices, we “become” a living sacrifice that burns continually with the Life, purposes, and intentions of God at all times and in every way…no matter where we are
