Sacrificing, the Offering, the Elect

Hello Mongoose,

It was rather recently that the OT began to open up and become a loud Witness in my understanding, I don't recall what paper it was but I remember Ray stating that if you cannot see your journey in the testimony of the Prophets in the OT then maybe you are not being called to be one of the elect.

(Edit)

*In rereading this post I thought it came across rather harsh and that was certainly not my intention, my point was that the "men of old" the Prophets of the OT were commisioned to write of these things for the benefit of all the generations that followed, Ray had mentioned that we should be seeing ourselves in these testimonies. My sincere apology for not explaining this better.

1Co 10:11  Now all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

Jam 5:10  Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience



Christ is to be our example in all things and dying to the flesh, even dying daily is the miracle of His Spirit living in us. Giving us a new life in spirit as our flesh, our carnal life our vanity is burned in the Fire of His consuming grace.

Arcturus, I am in total agreement with what you wrote and quoted, thank you.

Here is a bit more on this theme;

Zec 11:4  Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;

Rom 8:36  As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

Heb 8:5  Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount.

1Pe 2:21  For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

As He is our example, He is also our strength, the Firstfruit bringing the firstfruits to Himself and the firstfruits of Him gathering the entire harvest in the age to come.

His Peace and Wisdom to you,

Joe

Deborah-Leigh:


....May HE, the SPIRIT OF CHRIST, establish in us an unwavering faith so that we will KNOW that we are walking with HIM so that HIS REFINING FIRE, that  consuming fire of  God may find us ready  when HE comes......that we may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man Luke 21:36

This is my prayer....

Psa 51:17  The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Sacrifice;

H2076

G2380
θύω
thuō
thoo'-o
A primary verb; properly to rush (breathe hard, blow, smoke), that is, (by implication) to sacrifice (properly by fire, but generally); by extension to immolate (slaughter for any purpose): - kill, (do) sacrifice, slay.

I am seeing that when the beast within is dying daily and we present ourselves as a living sacrifice to our Lord and God we then begin to do the things that please Him;


Mat 25:35  For I was hungry, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger and ye took me in:
 
Mat 25:36  Naked and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison and ye came unto me.
 
Mat 25:37  Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry and fed thee? or thirsty and gave thee drink?
 
Mat 25:38  When saw we thee a stranger and took thee in? or naked and clothed thee?
 
Mat 25:39  Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
 
Mat 25:40  And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Selfless works such as those above and the manifestation of the fruits of the spirit are what I believe is one of the shadows and types of the OT sacrifices/offerings, all of this made possible by the Sacrifice of sacrifices by our Lord of Lords and King of Kings.

His Peace and Wisdom to you,

Joe
