Obedience is Key

Obedience in all things is key in this season. I am asking you to lean into my voice, trusting my timings. Don’t get stuck in the timings of the past but focus on the fresh timings of this season.

I am asking you to yield to me, and as you do so, you will experience closeness, intimacy, and an ability to discern my leading like never before. Lean into my voice, not relying upon your own understanding.

I am asking for your full trust, your full submission, and your full surrender in all things.

Will you live your life on the altar for me?

Will you submit and surrender the things that are most precious to you?

Will you choose me above all else in your life?

I gave Abraham his heart’s desire when I blessed him with his son Isaac. When I asked for his obedience in sacrificing his precious son to me, he was willing to give me both his son and his “yes.” I am asking you for both at this time as well. Will you give me what is most important to you and will you give me your full obedience?

Activation: Sit with Holy Spirit and allow him to highlight the areas or things in your life that you have been holding onto but he wants you to submit to him. Speak out loud:

“Lord, you have my full obedience and I will yield and surrender to you all that you ask. I give you access to all areas of my life and I give you my “Yes.” Amen.” 

Genesis 22:1-3 (ESV)

After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.” So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac. And he cut the wood for the burnt offering and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.

Genesis 22:9-12 (ESV)

When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son. But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.”

Romans 12:1 (ESV)

I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
