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. Thank you Mrs Luisa for clarifying this subject, I would like to be well prepared and deny myself , my own will before going to the altar because if I go with I then Im not serving God but pleasing myself.

    Thank you.

  2. This is very helpful many people say that they have the desire to be on the altar but they are not the altar and what does the altar symbolise… sacrifice. The sacrifice, self denial, going against our ‘I’ must start now not when God places a person on the altar (if He does in the end)

    Thank you 🙂

  3. This post is so eye opening, it makes you aware of the difference between wanting the altar and being the altar, a difference that many (including myself) didn’t know.
