Attack Your Lack - Oral Roberts

Attack Your Lack
The grief of God is indescribable, even as the
smaller grief of Evelyn and me cannot be
described but can only be experienced.
But God knew He was NOT out of options; He
had one left. He could give. And He chose not an
angel, not another creation, but HIS ONLY
BEGOTTEN SON—HIS ONE SON—and He gave
Him.
And here's the punchline. God gave Jesus to
get something back! He didn't give just to be
giving. He was planting a seed—the promised
seed of the woman, the seed of Abraham, the seed
of David—so He could reap the miracle harvest of
my salvation, your salvation, and the salvation of
every lost son and daughter of Adam!
Do you hear me? God didn't say, "Jesus, Son,
I'm going to send You to die on the cross just to
see You suffer... to hear You scream... to watch
You die. I want to see how You'll take it."
NO... GOD DIDN'T GIVE JESUS LIKE THAT.
He so loved us that He gave Jesus for the thing
He DESIRED to get most: to get us back from the
clutches and darkness of Satan who had stolen us
away from Him so he could destroy us.
God is our Example, our Pattern, our Role
Model in giving AND RECEIVING BACK.
