Lay Down Your Isaacs

Brings your offerings before Me.
Come before Me and lay down your Isaac's.
Put them on the altar
and tie them there
and release them to Me.

They are too heavy for you to carry and those that love
Me will give all their treasure back to Me.
Surrender all.
Give all to Me and hold nothing back
for it is in giving that you receive.

Surrender all. Surrender all. Surrender all.

The Isaac's not surrendered are a burden in your life.
They will prevent you bowing down before Me.
They are in your way and will keep you back from your destiny.

Travel light. Travel quickly. Travel unhindered by the things
of this world.
Surrendering all does not necessarily mean that I am asking you to
give them away.
It is a reminder that I own them and they have been given to you
to enjoy doing My work.

When you hold them tightly they become a burden in your life and
they are too heavy to carry.
Hold on to your material things lightly.
Hold on to everything but Me lightly.

Do not seek to have treasures on this earth but seek treasures that
will be added to your heavenly account.
Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all will be
added to you.
Where your treasure is your heart will be also.

You brought nothing into this world and it is certain that you can
carry nothing out.
You came into this world unhindered by the things of this life and it is
a certain thing that you will go out empty handed.

Seek the things of the Kingdom of God and the treasures of the Kingdom.
They shall satisfy and the treasures of this world will burden you.
You did not see Me on this earth possessing great wealth in the natural
but you saw Me going about My Fathers business.
This is a hard truth.

I am not asking you to give up all but I am asking you to fully surrender all.
Have you surrendered your finances to Me?
Have you surrendered your children to Me so that they may go where
I call them?
Difficult questions that require the searching of hearts to know the answer.

You will find freedom when you lay down the Isaac's that you hold dear.
Those little treasures that you have yet to surrender to Me.
Even memories if treasured more than Me can become idols in your life.
Surrender all.

Be willing.
This does not always happen overnight but little by little, here a little there a
little, line upon line you will pick up a precept in My Word and surrender the
things I reveal to you.

Man has stored up much in the natural but now is the time to store up for
yourselves treasures in heaven.
No one can break in and steal them for they are safe with Me.
I gave great riches to Joseph but he learned first the price of wealth in
having nothing.

Abraham laid down his Isaac and was promised and received much.
You have received so much and in receiving you must freely give.
You must have faith in the Lord your God as Abraham did and put total
trust in Me for it is by faith that you will act in accordance with My Word.

It is My Word that will move you to act in faith and surrender all.
The world as you know it is fading.
The Kingdom of God will last forever.
Build My Kingdom.
Bear Kingdom fruit.

Lay down your Isaac's on the altar this day and see if I do not bless
you.
As you do I will pour out on you a blessing.
Blessing will be yours as you give all to Me.
Blessings are not only financial but there are blessings that you are
unaware of that you will receive and you will know that they are
treasures from My hand.

Knowing Me is a blessing.
In surrendering all you will be taking a step closer to Me.
Where would you rather be?
What better place is there than close to Me.
There is no better place than close to the heart of God.
