GEN 45:11-13
- The Generations after us are affected by your willingness to allow this process to be accomplished in YOUR life … are you willing to PAY the price?
- Do you just want to GO to church?
- Or do you want to allow GODS will to be ACCOMPLISHED in your life?
PS 14:2 “The LORD looks down from heaven on the children of man, to see if there are any who understand (act wisely), who seek after God.”
“YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW” – carrots = carrots
Anointed on PURPOSE.
WHAT do you WANT? WHAT are you willing to pay?
A few People to Look at:::
Elijah and Elisha – Working, and the mantle fell upon him
1 Kings 19:19-21 19 “So he departed from there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he was with the twelfth. Then Elijah passed by him and threw his mantle on him. 20 And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, “Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” And he said to him, “Go back again, for what have I done to you?” 21 So Elisha turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and slaughtered them and boiled their flesh, using the oxen’s equipment, and gave it to the people and they ate. Then he arose and followed Elijah, and became his servant.”
Lady with issue of Blood
- Virtue went out of Jesus
- Anointing Rest upon us (Mantle)
Touch Jesus – Push through the “crowd” Prayer and Fasting
Hosea 10:12 “…break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you.”
You have to get a hold of an alter
WHEN HE SPEAKS TO YOU in those MOMENTS of brokenness – DO WHAT HE SAYS, CHANGE.
Don’t “Go back to where you came from, RUN after the ELIJAH … Don’t let that mantel OUT of your sight!”
ALL I WANT IS YOU – I WANT TO SERVE YOU – I WANT TO BE ANNOINTED FOR A PURPOSE like DAVID!
***`The 'horns of the altar' probably comes from another scripture: “God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.” (Psa. 118:27, KJVS) The 'horns' were corner projections which could be as anchor points when tying on several sacrifices at the same time. It has come to signify 'determination' in that the believer has not only made his sacrifice but tied it down so that it doesn't slip off the altar when the fire burns.
So both thoughts of the horns of the altar here merge into the idea of desparation; I think this is what 'believers' have in mind when they use the phrase. I think from the tone of voice it usually means a deliberate and irreversible sacrifice.’ *(http://www.sermonindex.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=6565&forum=36&2)
