                      Living Sacrifice

Our lives must be a living sacrifice. God says that we must be blameless 
and abiding in an expectance of His soon return! We must give up things 
that cause a pull between the flesh and the spirit, so that we are walking 
in His Spirit continually. We must never allow ourselves to become slumbered, 
but we must be alert and ready to hear His voice and direction in our lives. 

He is going to do new and marvelous things in those who are His living 
sacrifices. They will reach new levels and new heights of expectations, 
regarding His working in them and through them!  

He is requiring greater intimacy between Himself and His bride. It is in 
that place of intimacy that He will show her things to come. He will show
her how to walk in His power and strength. She will be poised and ready, as 
she desires to experience new places of intimacy with her Bridegroom!
