PERFECT SACRIFICE AND ITS POWER
God is perfect and He is above all things, He’s the creator of heaven and earth, there’s nothing and no one that can resist His power. Satan fears Him and runs away from His presence. Maybe you say, God is immutable, that’s very true! But there’s something that made Him change His decision. Perfect sacrifice.
“Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And the Lord was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them,” Genesis 6. 5-7
After this declaration, who could make God change what He had strongly decided to do? No one, we can say!
The flood came on the earth for forty days and all flesh died that moved on the earth.
We see the Campaign of Israel as the best chance for those who really want to give a 360o turn around in their lives and make their dreams come true. And how can they do that? By sacrificing on the altar, there’s no other way because if you have already tried other ways and nothing happened. If you could make your dreams come true or solve your biggest problem without sacrificing, for sure you would have already done that long ago!
After Noah came out of the ark he built an altar to the Lord, Then Noah built an altar to the Lord, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offering on the altar. And the Lord smelled a soothing aroma. Then the Lord said in his heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done. Genesis 8.20-22
See that a perfect sacrifice has power even to change God’s purpose and decision, because if before He had promised to destroy every living creature on the earth and actually, He was sorry for making them, now because of the perfect sacrifice Noah presented on the altar God changed what He had already decided to do.
The perfect sacrifice has the power to touch God’s heart and intimacy to the point of making Him change what was unchangeable. There’s no doubt at all that a perfect sacrifice can change any type of problem or situation though it seems to be impossible to change, like for example to cross the Red Sea as on dry ground and many others unexplainable miracles in the bible. Therefore, don’t let this opportunity of changing your life pass you by because if a perfect sacrifice changed God’s decision. How about your problem?
Be blessed!
