SHARP ERO UPDATE #5

Friday January 4th, 2008

Disciplined bride,

My message for every born again child of God for this year is “Consecrate yourself unto Jesus in 2008, for God is preparing to do amazing things through you for his glory.” Surrender is the first step of consecration!

I had the great privilege to close out the year of 2007 with a performance of the Sermon on the Mount at the First Night Celebration in Tri-Cities Washington. It was held at Columbia Basin College in the new Geo-Science Center. It never ceases to amaze me how the Lord opens up doors for the Sermon on the Mount to challenging venues.

There was a good turn out and most of the people were caught of guard by me in my garment, sandals and prayer shawl portraying Jesus. I actually heard a few hecklers before I started the drama. Then, the anointing came, and it got dead silent. The words of Christ came out with fiery love. The often quoted rarely practiced words of Jesus in Matthew 6:33, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” were delivered with a particular urgency that I have never sensed before in all my previous performances.

There are many so-called Christians who seek “good” theology or educated terminology but few seek the face of God. There are many so-called Christians who seek a religious social life to appear like a “good” person in the eyes of men, but few seek a surrendered life to Christ that will appear foolish in the eyes of men.

To Love God is to seek Him! Selah.

Your brother in Messiah Yeshua,

Eric Ryan Olson
