Good Morning Sunshine! Just Lay It On The Altar And Let His Fire Fall Upon Your Heart!

Psalm 5:3 TPT ~ “At each and every sunrise you will hear my voice as I prepare my sacrifice of prayer to you. Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on the altar and wait for your fire to fall upon my heart.”

I love early morning, be it sunshiny or raining! And the smell of a good cup of coffee is the topping! When I pour my first cup, and before I take a sip, I inhale the fresh aroma, and it smells so good! The aroma lingers and every day and I relive how good it smells to me, and it stirs my memory that is beyond my understanding of just how much I enjoy that cup of coffee!

But how much better does your offering unto God smell, a pleasing aroma to Him! This is got to be how God feels when our prayers go up to Him! Can you imagine it, you have taken time to be with Him and no one else matters but Him, now you are prepared to pray to your Father and give it all up to Him, on the Altar and wait for His fire to fall on your heart! Right in this moment your prayers are ascending up to heaven and it smells so good going into the nostrils of your Father! Yeah, I know, just the thought of how this works is beyond your understanding, you can’t even begin to explain it or comprehend how the sacrifice of your prayer offering becomes such a sweet-smelling aroma unto God’s nostrils, that is made by you and breathed in by Him all day long with love, it’s because He loves it when you pray to Him daily!

Have you ever thought about how somethings that you smell are pleasing and then there are other things that you smell. they make you sick instantly when you smell it! You do know that is how God feels about sin, He does not like the scent of sin or disobedience in His nostrils, it stinks. This is why you should lay it all down on the Altar, Numbers 15:3 ~ “and you offer to the Lord from the herd or from the flock a food offering or a burnt offering or a sacrifice, to fulfill a vow or as a freewill offering or at your appointed feasts, to make a pleasing aroma to the Lord.” But thanks be unto God that your prayer scent, your repentance scent, and your thanksgiving scent all hold a special and specific place and meaning to God! Today, God is not only exhaling and breathing on you, but He’s inhaling and breathing on you too!

Build a place of worship, where you can go 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year, it’s a place where you be in God’s Presence and offer Him you in undistracted worship, as a holy living sacrifice (Romans 12:1), it’s the place where everything is acceptable and pleasing to God. Your life should be lived on the altar of worship. This kind of worship transcends the thought of just going to worship, it means you are in attendance and fellowship, this type of worship represents Jesus Christ as the head of your life, this type of worship is a sweet and pleasing aroma to God!

How do you build an Altar before God? You build it by listening to God’s voice, believing Him, and obeying Him, and then your worship will be a sweet aroma that flows upward into the nostrils of God and then He will release His blessings and promises on you and your family and everything that you do will be blessed! Build an Altar of promises from God that flow into your life. When you are obedient, God responds to you with His absolute best! When you are pleasing to God, He accepts your sacrifices and offerings. Every day, you should take time and build an altar of sacrifice, prayer and worship to God!

Today, let go and let God, build yourself and Altar before God, it’s the place where everything that you do will be like a sweet-smelling aroma that will fill you up with Him and for Him. Build a place of sacrifice! Lay it all on the Altar and let His fire melt away everything that would grieve Him from your heart. For you do know that your mouth is connected to your and heart, “May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.” Psalm 19:14!

For your tongue is a bucket that draws from the inner reservoir of your heart and brings it to the surface for all to hear! You will get your heart right when you lay it at the Altar and let God have His way! What you place here should cost you something, (you, your time and effort and your efforts) salvation is free, but it cost you, you to walk in sanctification!

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You! Father, today I offer You my life as a living sacrifice on the altar where I pray that You will hear my voice; and answer me as I will prepare my prayers to You and I’ll wait and watch as You speak to my heart. Father, I love setting and sitting in with You in this moment of in Your Presence. Father, I give You all of me, my health, my finances, my family, and everything that I treasure and desire! Father, consume me in Your love, cover me in Your mercy, empower me with Your grace, and grant me Your Peace as I walk throughout this day because I laid everything on the Altar before I started the day that You allowed me. I’m grateful! In Jesus Christ Name. Amen!

Blessings…
