Banner-The only life that is pleasing to God is the life that experiences Christ in His experiences as the burnt offering. In the conference, I touched that we need to be burned into ashes so that we can please God. This is also the real meaning of burnt offering.
"WE" are a corporate people who need to be absolute for God to be qualified as a sacrifice for God. But, in our experience, we know that we are not absolute for God. Everyday, in big and small things, we commit sins and have a big self. Only one man in this universe is qualified, He is our Christ. He is the Lamb prepared for us. On the earth, He did not do anything for Himself and say His own words. He is so fine and absolute for God. He is willing to be slaughtered, skinned, and cut into pieces. And then, He was burned for us. How could we be the sacrifice same as Christ? The only way is to unite with Him. We need to lay our hands on Him, which typified by the priest who laid his hand on the sacrifice. How could we lay our hand on Christ? Prayer is our way. By uniting with Him, He took our sins and all negative problems upon Himself, and His Holiness and absoluteness become ours. Therefore, we can be a sacrifice without blemish to God as soon as we pray to be one with Him. To "BE BURNED" needs fire. The fire is from God, not from us. Just like the Leviticus (1:4) described that the fire was from heaven to altar. Any fire from us is a strange fire, which will be burned out. We are exhausted in our services because we serve in our own way and our natural strength. We need to rekindle the fire in our Spirit. "TO BECOME ASHES" means that we are nothing and zero. Our future is not to be some-body, but to be nobody. The final result of spiritual burning will not be any great achievement. The process of burning produced sweet fragrance to God. To be burn into ashes is not the end, the ashes will be put in the east side of the altar (Lev 1:16). The message said "The more we are reduced to ashes in Christ, the more we will be put to the east, and on the east we will have the assurance that the sun will rise and that we will experience the sunrise of resurrection (Phil.3:10-11)"(Massage II). After we experience the burning, only the precious materials will remain for God's building. After these messages, I prayed to the Lord, "Lord, burn me! I want to be one with You. Lord, I am not a good man but I want to be a God-man like You. Lord, burn my spirit and let me become ashes. Let me be nothing but just the sweet fragrance to God and precious materials for Your building. Amen." The real work is not to work but enjoy Christ. Eating Jesus is the way. Take away the extra "o" from "GOOD". We need God-man not Good-man. We need God-morning not Good morning. |
