Lay Love on the Altar

| You call what we call in the world today, people call, oh, I'm sacrificing, but you call it worship. | |
| Yes. | |
| I wanted people to catch that today. | |
| Genesis 22, when he said, Abraham, take your son, your only son, whom you love. | |
| You know, that's the first time the word love is used in the Bible, and it's tied to the sacrifice of a son. | |
| You'll not find the word love. | |
| But then he says, take your son, your only son, whom you love, and lay him on the altar. | |
| He takes Isaac up Mount Moriah, the future mountains of Christ, goes up the mountain. | |
| Remember three days off? | |
| He said, Dad, where are we going? | |
| And he said, I go worship. | |
| What you call sacrifice, God calls worship. | |
| Remember what he said? | |
| He didn't say lay what you hate on the altar. | |
| We love to take our sin to the altar, our mistakes, our failures. | |
| He said, lay what you love on the altar. | |
| It's that moment where you lay what you love, but what you call sacrifice, God calls worship. | |
| The end of yourself is the beginning of God. | |
| It's when you get to that place where you go, and this just happened to me this last week. | |
| He said, son, woke me up at 4.50 in the morning, which I have asked Jesus to come back after 10 a.m. | |
| And I'm just not a morning guy. | |
| I ain't here. | |
| I'm trying to get my makeup on. | |
| But he said, son, I want to show you the crossroads of the anointing and glory. | |
| And he said, it all starts with an altar. | |
| And what we call sacrifice, God calls worship. | |
| When's the last time you walked into your prayer room and came out limping with a limp called brokenness? | |
| When's the last time he crushed you like an olive to get the anointing oil? | |
| And I'm going to be honest with you, there comes a moment where you say, you know what, God, it's not about me anymore. | |
| I'm getting out of the mirror and I'm going to lay everything down. | |
| And God is calling people that are watching right now to say, you know what? | |
| I'm done. | |
| I'm done with this in my life or that in my life. | |
| And what you call sacrifice, God says, that's worship. | |
| That's you proving how much you love me. | |
| I believe that with all my heart. | |
