Assistant who wants the Altar!

These days I was talking with an assistant who desires to be on the ALTAR, who wants to be a pastor’s wife.

I saw in her eyes the yearning as she spoke. However, in the middle of the conversation, I made a remark for her to really think about the seriousness of her goal. I asked her: “Are you aware that there is a very big difference between WANTING and BEING the altar?”

Many want and desire the ALTAR, because from IT they received a change in their life, a word that brought the solution to their dilemmas. For these and other reasons they crave the ALTAR, but not for the right reason—which is BEING THE ALTAR itself.

Saying that I want and desire the ALTAR does not change anything in my life, and it doesn’t make any difference, because they are just words, but I prove that this is really my goal when my BEING is One with GOD—when I and the ALTAR are one!

I am the ALTAR when there is “VIOLENCE” against my “I”.

If my wills predominate; if I have a strong temper; if I am sentimental to the point of feeling down whenever they call my attention; if I have personal dreams and ambitions to satisfy my interests; if I have impulses, defenses and reserves, than I AM not the ALTAR!

If you’re really an assistant whose goal is to BE the ALTAR and not just WANT the ALTAR, immediately remove everything that impedes you, especially the largest of all the obstacles: The “I” (selfishness).

Take advantage of the Fast of Daniel and do what has to be done in order to BE the ALTAR.

  1. This post is so interesting that I had to read it twice, wow!
    Everything that we do to get Gods attention requires Sacrifice after Sacrifice!

  2. I strongly agree with this. As I often hear people, especially the female youths say that they want to be on the altar; and I always return with the comment of; I was not called for the altar physically, but still need to be and want to be the alter; because God wants us to be the blessing. Meaning that I carry with me the altar no matter where I go.

  3. Thank you to clarify this,because I did not know these differences. I believe the process of someone to belong on the altar start within. Then before you are in the physical alter you will already be in a spiritual alter inside of you.

    Thank you

  4. I learnt that saying you want to be of the Altar not just to be a pastor wife. But to receieve the Holy Spirit. It’s not enough to say to God that I want the Holy Spirit, I have to search within myself and change my habits in order for God to dwell in me.

  5. Thank you for this post

    Its very true we need to be the altar, I need to be the sacrifice, constantly doing what God expects from me and from doing that I will be blessed. God bless

  6. Mrs.Vivi,
    Good morning! I’ve been following your blog along with your fathers since we began the FAST! All your post reach me deeply, and have helped me with my thirst to be closer with God, and for my spiritual life to grow. I was blessed to be baptized with the Holy Spirit back this June, during a down fall, where I finally poured out my heart to God, asked for forgiveness, and seeked the Holy Spirit with all my heart. However I was blindsided, adn thought since I was baptized with the Holy Spirit I did not have to continue searching it. I notice my self falling spiritually, I was having the desire to pray or read the word, but I was included in the candidate for assistant. I asked myself, how can I say I want to help others if I feel something missing. That’s when I poured myself to God, and told him how much I thirst for a closer connection with him, how much I need him. Last night during the service, was amazing! I cried and smiled just like the day I was baptized with the Holy Spirit! I want to help others who are suffering, but I must remember that if I’m not well spiritually, and if my connectio with God is not 100%, than I can not help others who are suffering. God bless you Mrs. Vivi & your family, for God giving you guys the directions to gide us who are desperately searching for him, and to serve him faithfully!
