- The certainty or confidence of a fixed heart
Scripture: Exodus 19:11; Genesis 22
The final step of completing the priestly price is the certainty or confidence of a fixed heart
that comes as a reward for walking the sanctifying price of enduring the washing, and
submitting to the five steps of becoming “ready.” In Genesis 22 Abraham demonstrates he
has a fixed heart when in obedience he can raise the knife to slay his son and then God speaks
from heaven saying, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know
that you fear God since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” A fixed
heart is one that obeys God when the word of the Lord comes regardless of the price.
Abraham proved it and out of his life, we see the priestly sanctifying process by which God
will take each one of us into the realm of the spirit if we are willing to go. Is it possible we feel
like those in full-time ministry are really the ones who should be doing this since that’s what
they are paid for? If that mentality exists then it is no wonder we’re losing our country. The
priesthood can turn the judgment of a nation – that is proved in the life of Abraham. If we
don’t feel like we have any voice in heaven then we have to ask ourselves: “Why not?” The
answer must lie somewhere in the sanctification, washing, and being “ready.” Abraham
walked the process and he was “ready.” He turned the judgment. He saved Lot and his kids.
Prayer Point: The question is – what are we saving? What is our intercession
accomplishing? Do we have the stature he had? Have we paid the price he paid? Have we
completed the process he submitted to? Sometimes I feel scared that people who are
reading these may not be responding. Are we crying out?
