Keep Your Isaac on the Altar

by Lonnie Mackley

While praying I began to see a vision unfold in the Spirit-realm, and this is what I saw;

I saw what looked like the event where Abraham was going to sacrifice his son Isaac on the altar (Gen. Ch. 22), but even though it looked like the same scenario some things were a little different. The people I saw in this vision looked like modern people playing out this same story. When the man placed Isaac on the altar, he seemed extremely worried and kept pulling him back off of it and talking to God about it like he was wanting some kind of assurance that nothing would happen to his Isaac if he fully obeyed, but no such promise came. Then I saw this man put Isaac back on the altar again, but this time he tied himself with a rope to Isaac just in case if something did happen, he could pull him back off again. This went on for a while until finally God's voice spoke from above, "Keep your Isaac on the altar!" Then this man placed his Isaac on the altar, sat down, and finally just left him there. Then there seemed to be a resolve and peace that came over him once he did this. I was not shown the end of what happened, but I could sense that what God wanted and needed had finally taken place. After this, the Holy Spirit explained more about what I had seen.

   There are some of you right now at the end of your wilderness preparation time about to become empowered, but there have been a few things in your life that have been extremely important to you, almost like an idol, where instead of leaving these things in God's hands completely, you have been going back and forth in your flesh and trying to have your own will done regardless of what God might want. God wants you to place these things on His altar once and for all now, and to submit to whatever decision He makes concerning them. God knows how extremely important these things are to you, and that you feel like you cannot live without them, but He wants and needs you to just trust that He knows what's best for you. Right now God just needs you to seek His kingdom and His righteousness so that you can fully overcome and be ready for this harvest, not to be distracted and hindered by things that have the power to hold sway over your mind and heart. Once you fully obey God in this, the fight between your flesh and the Holy Spirit will end, and peace will finally come into this area of your life. So Trust God fully now and keep your Isaac on the altar.

PR 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
