What are the words written on your heart? When pain strikes and situations crush, what comes out of you? I looked in the spirit and saw old altars with people clinging to them in desperation.
The Spirit of the Lord says, “Release the old altars! For Jesus came to remove the old, and make a new way back to Me. No longer do you sacrifice in the old ways. Jesus Christ’s death on the cross paid the price for all sin, for all people, for all time.
Stop sacrificing to old ways of thinking. Stop bowing to old shame. Instead embrace your heart as the home of Holy Spirit. Do you have Me as the Lord of your heart? Is the altar in your heart full of life and love and Godly zeal? Am I your first love? Lay down your worries and schemes. Give yourself to Me in whole body worship. And let My love fill your heart.”
21 Now it is God who establishes and confirms us [in joint fellowship] with you in Christ, and who has anointed us [empowering us with the gifts of the Spirit];
22 it is He who has also put His seal on us [that is, He has appropriated us and certified us as His] and has given us the [Holy] Spirit in our hearts as a pledge [like a security deposit to guarantee the fulfillment of His promise of eternal life].
23 But I call on God as my soul’s witness, that it was to spare you [pain and discouragement] that I did not come again to Corinth—
24 not that we rule [like dictators] over your faith, but rather we work with you for [the increase of] your joy; for in your faith you stand firm [in your strong conviction that Jesus of Nazareth—the Messiah—is the Son of God, through whom we obtain eternal salvation].
1 Corinthians 1:21-24 (AMP)
