=== Lay Love on the Altar (01:54) ===

[00:00:00]  You call what we call in the world today, people call, oh, I'm sacrificing, but you call it worship.
[00:00:09]  Yes.
[00:00:10]  I wanted people to catch that today.
[00:00:13]  Genesis 22, when he said, Abraham, take your son, your only son, whom you love.
[00:00:17]  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.
[00:00:21]  You'll not find the word love.
[00:00:23]  But then he says, take your son, your only son, whom you love, and lay him on the altar.
[00:00:27]  He takes Isaac up Mount Moriah, the future mountains of Christ, goes up the mountain.
[00:00:32]  Remember three days off?
[00:00:33]  He said, Dad, where are we going?
[00:00:35]  And he said, I go worship.
[00:00:38]  What you call sacrifice, God calls worship.
[00:00:42]  Remember what he said?
[00:00:42]  He didn't say lay what you hate on the altar.
[00:00:44]  We love to take our sin to the altar, our mistakes, our failures.
[00:00:47]  He said, lay what you love on the altar.
[00:00:49]  It's that moment where you lay what you love, but what you call sacrifice, God calls worship.
[00:00:55]  The end of yourself is the beginning of God.
[00:00:57]  It's when you get to that place where you go, and this just happened to me this last week.
[00:01:00]  He said, son, woke me up at 4.50 in the morning, which I have asked Jesus to come back after 10 a.m.
[00:01:06]  And I'm just not a morning guy.
[00:01:09]  I ain't here.
[00:01:10]  I'm trying to get my makeup on.
[00:01:15]  But he said, son, I want to show you the crossroads of the anointing and glory.
[00:01:20]  And he said, it all starts with an altar.
[00:01:22]  And what we call sacrifice, God calls worship.
[00:01:26]  When's the last time you walked into your prayer room and came out limping with a limp called brokenness?
[00:01:31]  When's the last time he crushed you like an olive to get the anointing oil?
[00:01:34]  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.
[00:01:38]  I'm getting out of the mirror and I'm going to lay everything down.
[00:01:41]  And God is calling people that are watching right now to say, you know what?
[00:01:44]  I'm done.
[00:01:46]  I'm done with this in my life or that in my life.
[00:01:48]  And what you call sacrifice, God says, that's worship.
[00:01:50]  That's you proving how much you love me.
[00:01:53]  I believe that with all my heart.
