Sacrifice 3
Philippians 3:10 – that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death
This has been my prayer all along here in Ignite. That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection. I want to know God. Actually know Him. I want to know God in every way you could possibly imagine. There is this verse in the bible that say something along the lines of knowing where to go just by the direction of His eyes. I want to know where to go just by the direction the Lord look and he doesn’t even need to say anything for me to understand. I want to know the power of His resurrection. My miniscule mind can barely comprehend even a fraction of what Jesus did for me on the cross. But all of these are just words, I can want something all day, but in reality it’s the action you take that will allow you to get the prize. I NEED to constantly be in fellowship with Him. I need to understand that I am nothing and He is everything. And that He loved me so much that Christ send His only Son to die on a tree. For me. Sarah. He conformed so that I could have everlasting life through Him.
God has been wrecking little by little these past three months. He keeps showing me His love which was freely given because of the sacrifice He had to make for me. The cross has meaning to me now because God has allowed me to understand Him a little more each day. Through His word and through others testimonies.
Application:

I am going to give up free time in order to learn Spanish

Blessed Deuteronomy 3:21 – “…Your eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done…” I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to serve in Costa Rica for these past 6 months.   God has shown me so many things that I will never forget. He has revealed to me the truth about myself that I have an attitude of complaining, pridefulness and laziness, all which needed to be strip away. He has displayed to me his promises of faithfulness, provision, fulfillment, renewal, and boldness. He has also allowed me to look through his eyes and experience his love that he has for all his children. Honestly, I don’t ever think that I would have experience that kind of love anywhere else. I can’t even explain it, it’s like complete joy and fulfillment. I don’t know, it’s crazy. That is something that I am going to bring back home with me, I am passionate about kids and loving on them the way the Lord loves me. This season was amazing but, what I have to remember is, that just beca...

Faith Hebrews 11:6 – it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that He rewarder those who sincerely seek him.               Reading over Hebrews 11, and its main focus point is on the topic, “Faith.” When you just stop and think it’s clearly stated. You cannot please God without faith. Like, how can I please you, Father, if I don’t have faith in who you are as my maker? All these people in Hebrews are being led by faith. They literally are relying on God’s promise alone and having no idea what’s coming around the corner. They were obedient to the calling of Christ. It pleases God that we are faithful to His calling in our lives. I like think that our obedience is a sweet fragrance unto Him in the heavens. Pleasing the Lord is what I was put on this world to do. I was created to spread the love of Christ to whoever would receive it. This verse makes a go...

Perseverance 1 Luke 8:11-15 – This is the meaning of the parable; the seed is God’s word. The Seeds that fell on the footpath represent those who hear the message, only to have the devil come and take it away for their hearts and prevent them from believing and being saved. The seeds on the rocky soil represent those who hear the message and receive it with joy. But since they don’t have deep roots, they believe for a while, then they fall away when they face and temptation. The seeds that fall among the thorns represent those who hear the message, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life and so they never grow into maturity. And the seeds that fell on the good soil represents honest, good hearted people who hear God’s word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest. This whole passage basically is the observations. It’s talking about 4 different kinds of people and what happens after they hear the word of God. The f...
