My offering.


Offer yourself, just as you are, He will clean you up...

You will never find anything more beautiful or more amazing, until you bring everything you’ve ever made a mess of to the foot of the cross, and Jesus takes you, the mess we are, as an offering. At the foot of the cross is where the broken are made whole. Where darkness turns to light.

Looking at how the way things are going in this world, many people wonder who has more power, Satan or God? There is no doubt that Satan is powerful, but that’s only if you choose to stay in his darkness, instead of seeking the light. It’s sad, but it seems like many are making the wrong choice and blaming God for the way things are today.  Jesus is much more powerful. His resurrection took away Satan’s deathly power and, "rescued us from the dominion of darkness..." Read this scripture with an open heart, Colossians 1:10-14

Some choose to keep running from the truth, staying in the darkness. They continue to rebel against God, living a lie, instead of seeking the truth. This is not our home, and God is giving us all more time here to:  “choose for yourselves this day, whom you will serve...” (Joshua 24:15).  It starts with sharing the light of Jesus Christ into a dark world. Shine the light on the CROSS!

Jesus says in John 12:32, “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.” The enemy of our souls knows the power of the cross. He will do whatever it takes for Gods children to keep it to ourselves and not talk about everything Jesus can do for us. It really isn’t about what He can do for you, it’s first about what He’s already done. It starts at turning the light onto the cross where Jesus died for all our sins, right where we were at. Romans 5:8, “While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”  He cleans us up, when we offer up ourselves.

That’s where the power begins and the light gets brighter, and Satan just hates that. He knows that when a dark soul accepts the truth of the cross, that it's freedom for one more he tried “to destroy,” John10:10.

So before we talk about anything Jesus can, and will do if it’s in His will for you, let’s take them to the cross where the power begins.

Be as passionate about the cross, as the world and the devil are about eliminating it.

Grace and peace to you
Kim
