Blemished Sacrifices – NO!
Sacrifices of Praise – Yes!

Our scriptures are found in the Books of Malachi; Hebrews; Romans and 1st Peter.
{Malachi Chapter 1:1, 2, and 6-8}:
(1.An oracle: The Word of the Lord to Israel through Malachi (My Messenger.)
(2. "I have loved you," says the Lord….
(6.A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If I am a father, where is the honor due Me?" says the Lord Almighty. "It is you, O priest, who despise My name. " But you ask, 'How have we despised Your name?'
(7."You place defiled food on My altar…..

Have you ever gone shopping in the produce section of your local grocery?
Do you find yourself being very selective in your choice of  vegetables or fruit?
You obviously want to get the best for your table when shopping.


(7. but you ask, 'How have we defiled You?' "By saying, that the Lord's table is contemptible.
(8.When you bring blind animals for sacrifice, is that not wrong?
When you sacrifice crippled or diseased animals, is that not wrong?
Try offering them to your governor! Would he be pleased with you?
Would he accept you?" says the Lord Almighty.
{Proverbs 15:8} The word of God says.
(8.The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but the prayer of the upright pleases Him.

What we find throughout our society and throughout the world is  man's failure to communicate with the Lord in a way that shows the reverence, love, and respect that is due the Lord from man whom He has created.
We live in a society that wants to ask for the best of everything from the Lord, receive the best of everything from the Lord, expects the best of everything from the Lord, but gives the least of everything to the Lord.


When Araunah the Jebusite saw King David, {1st Ch 21:20} he bowed down to King David and said,
{1st Ch 21:23}"Take it! Let my lord  the King do whatever pleases him. Look, I will give the oxen for the burnt offerings, the threshing sleds for the wood, and the wheat for  the grain offering. I will give all this."
But King David had the reverence, love, and respect for God that would not allow him to place defiled food on God's altar.
King David said  to Araunah the Jebusite,
{1st Ch21:24} But King David replied to Araunah, "No, I insist on paying the full price.
I will not take for the Lord  what is yours, or sacrifice a burnt offering that costs me nothing."

We must aspire to be like King David, we must revere, love, and respect the Lord so deeply that we refuse to offer any form of sacrifice to Him that we have not paid the cost for. We must not defile the altar of God.

Paul of Tarsus goes beyond even the sincerity of King David. Paul suggests to Christians that they give themselves as living sacrifices to  the Lord.

{Romans12:1,2} (1.Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – which is your spiritual worship.
(2.Do not conform any longer to the pattern of the world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - His good , pleasing and perfect will.

By offering ourselves as a living sacrifice to God, we are privileged to know His perfect will for us. And as Peter tells us, {1st Peter  2:4.5} we will be able to offer spiritual sacrifices to God that are acceptable to Him.

{1st Peter 2:4,5} (4.As you come to Him, the Living Stone, rejected by men-but chosen by God and precious to Him-...
(5.You also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

And so, we find ourselves holding the key to open the door to the blessings of God through sacrifice. For unlike in days of old when man offered the body and blood of an animal as a sacrifice, we have a High Priest who has made the ultimate sacrifice for us. {Heb 13:11 -16}

{Heb 13:11-16} (11. The high priest carries blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the  camp.
(12. And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through His own blood..
(13. Let us, then, go to Him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace He bore..
(14 For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come..
(15. Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise - the fruit of lips that confess His name..
(16. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
Amen.

Testimony - 2008/Affirmation 2009

One Sunday in December 2007, I was driving down Grand River Avenue in Detroit Michigan and I heard a song called, "I've Got A Testimony." I decided that having a Testimony is a good thing.

Let's share Testimonys together in '08. Have you got a TESTIMONY?

I'm not a journalist by a long shot, just a mouth on My Space like everybody else, and just like all the rest, I think I've got something to say that someone want to hear. But, I'm not kidding myself, I know that the attention span of the average reader is very short. In fact is you're reading this you probably stopped really paying me any attention after the first two sentences. That's because unless I said something in the opening that got your attention, you just don't want to take the time to plow through all of this garble. I don't blame you. So, just click on the link and read my JOURNAL.........please.

Thanks
