Once again its my joy to be able to report or should I say pronounce and announce the good news that our Lord and Saviour Jesus lives. This sunday gone was an awesome time in the presence of the Lord we had God time in His presence and the results continue to come in from sunday service. We had first been led into this incredible time of worship by our worship team who had been praying during the week for a special visitation from the Lord and it happened just as they had prayed. The worship all I can say to our readers is that it was nothing short of heavenly as people poured out their all to the Lord. Then right in middle of the service and during that time of worship the Lord had spoken to my heart to turn my attention to the book of Genesis 22:1-19 It was here I found a passage I had read and preached many times before but had never seen this portion of the Bible in the light that was now shining on it. The Bible says that God tested Abraham but later as you will see Abraham called his journey a time of worship he and his son was going to have. First thing about this portion of the Bible it says that the Lord specifically said take thy son your only son that you LOVE and go to a place I will show you. It seems that the Lord had said something similar to Abraham earlier in his life that he was to go where he had not been and to go to a place he did not know. ( Genesis 12:1) Its amazing how God seems to always come after the things we LOVE dearly, as if He wants to first see how serious we are about following Him and how committed we are to Him. Its to the region of Moriah that the Lord leads Abraham this same mountain region is the same region we are told by scholars that Jesus was crucified and the same hill called Mount Zion if I am correct. Obviously this area had been developed and evolved but the point is its the same REGION. God then asks of Abraham a very hard thing that he is to sacrifice his only son that he LOVES, seems harsh does it not, but that is sometimes the lengths God will bring us to bring to our attention the seriousness of serving him. He was not just to present his son there to the Lord but he was to sacrifice him as a burnt offering which will be the ultimate sacrifice to have him die and have Abraham kill his only son whom he LOVED. The thing I find in verse 3 that Abraham arose early as if he was eager to get to the business of performing this cruel task that was before him it says he prepared enough wood for the fire to burn the offering. Over in verses 4-5 Abraham identifies the place a long way off he had a chance to rethink and get out of this task but he continues on and tells his servants to stay down there at a certain place. Sometimes you just have to have a worship time that is by yourself without the crowd if you want to get the maximum out of worship. Its important you bring people into worship who are ready to worship in total abandonment and not spectators, also I find it was very interesting that it was on the third day that they went  up. Also (22:6) says that Abraham took wood and placed it on his son who was the actual sacrifice and he carried the fire and the knife. Then Isaac spoke up the Bible says in (22:7) we need to be aware that our sacrifice will speak to us, especially if it is a very important sacrifice, like worship. Its not hard to come into a service where people are already in worship and you are trying to enter in and you are bombarded with thoughts of why you should not offer up praise and worship to God. The Bible said in(22:8) that Abraham says that the God will Himself provide the lamb for the burnt offering. Another thing that got my attention in this portion of scripture is how in both verses 7&8 it says that they “went on” these two words have the same Hebrew word that is found in Habakuk 1:6 its the word HALAK and in Habakuk it is used figuratively to denote a lifestyle. So can I drop my personal thought in here it seems to me that both father and son were in a walk to the place and that their walk became their lifestyle there was no fear of either one backing out now. In ( 22:9 ) Abraham came to the place where he had to bind his sacrifice, but before that he had to arrange the wood on the altar he just built all the time his son was watching his dad then came the time for hime to bind his son and him on the altar. There is a place I believe where you and I can come to in Worship that we must as it were bind ourselves in worship so we do not become distracted and the moment is lost. Binding speaks of confining or restricting or even limiting, and thats what I believe, is that we must come to the PLACE where we do not allow our faculties to become pre-occupied with anything else other than just WORSHIP. There is what I call a tipping point in WORSHIP where the worshipper must come to realize they are totally lost in the adoration of one who is magnificent and become awed by the majesty of the KING of GLORY and nothing else exists around and the person is outside of the natural realm. Thats what I see when I see Abraham lifting his knife hand to slay his son I see the tipping point where he slips out of the natural into the supernatural. Because we live in a time where we have been so numbed by the constant images shown in violent action movies and on news and media broadcasts of murders and killings it seems to have become normal. Let me say right here and now taking a life is abnormal and demonic its the fruit of the devil and satanic influence. God and God alone who creates all life is the only one who holds the power of life and death and not man. But it was the obedience of Abraham to come to Worship that brought the unseen into the seen because as you read of the account of him coming to the place there is nothing to suggest that there was a ram already there or a lamb. The only two people on that mountain was Abraham and Isaac and his resolute attitude and confession of FAITH in Jehovah , Jireh, that he was going to worship is what brought what was hidden into what was seen and revealed. Let me conclude by saying when we have that kind of tenacity in worship and go to the place I call the tipping point where we step out from the natural and worship in careless and reckless abandonment there we will find things that have been hidden from us now revealed. So what can I say about our Sunday morning service other than that we had so much happen as a result of our people in worship they reached the tipping point and the hidden things were revealed and even Salvations and restorations was present in the service. Just as Abraham found a ram in the thicket that was not there and appeared as a response to his attitude of worship so did we find this Sunday morning . I will be posting a video of what we captured of the Shekinah Glory that appeared in our service. Be sure to keep checking in our Media section under the video drop down.
