Order and Acceptable Sacrifice

In her 2024 New Year’s Eve "Crossover" service at Lighthouse Empowerment Sanctuary, Apostle Allison Smith Conliff delivers a mandate for spiritual order and radical commitment. The sermon serves as a strategic guide for transitioning into 2025 with "steadfast faith" to reap "supernatural results".Drawing from the Book of Malachi, Apostle Conliff rebukes "disorderly behaviour" and the offering of "sick, lame, unacceptable" sacrifices. She expands the definition of an offering beyond financial tithing to include the believer’s entire life, which should be a "sweet smelling savor". She warns against insulting God with "crumpled" or "dirty" leftovers when one can afford more, asserting that a "divine rescue" or "supernatural encounter" is reserved for those who offer God their absolute best.The core scriptural focus is Galatians 5:1, where Apostle Conliff exhorts the congregation to "stand fast" in the freedom Christ provided. She warns that 2025 requires "anchored" faith rather than "shaky" doubt. To "cross over" effectively, believers must not be "entangled again" in the bondage or "yokes" of their past, specifically calling out "unholy alliances" and the "god of Mammon" (greed).Apostle Conliff emphasizes that "supernatural results" are not automatic; they require intentional preparation. She highlights fasting ("turning the pot down") as a spiritual necessity to gain strength and drive out stubborn demonic influences. Furthermore, she discusses the anointing as the "yoke-destroying power" of God. She uses David’s harp as a prime example of how natural gifts must be "tapped with the anointing" to effect true spiritual change and deliverance.Building on her consistent theme of divine authority, Apostle Conliff demands total integrity. She rebukes "playing church," asserting that believers are the church and must reflect Christ in all environments. This practical holiness includes:Financial Stewardship: Money is a "spiritual thing" that must be commanded to serve God’s purposes (paying loans, tithing, providing for family) rather than allowing money to lead the believer.Moral Purity: She forbids "secret lives" or "dark houses" (sinful lifestyles), insisting on purity in singleness and faithfulness in marriage.Interpersonal Love: She challenges members to "love one another" practically, moving beyond mere "duty" to genuine, Christ-like interaction with others.The sermon concludes with a prophetic declaration for 2025 as a year of "miracles, signs, and wonders". Apostle Conliff stresses that "crossing over" is an active process requiring both a natural and spiritual "move". She implores the church to "tune in to the frequency of heaven" rather than "jamming with the devil," ensuring they are "completely on par with the things of God" as they enter the new year.Leaving Disorder Behind: Transitioning from 2024 to 2025 requires leaving behind ungodly behaviors.The Quality of Offering: God requires the best of one's time, talent, and treasure.Steadfastness: Maintaining freedom in Christ and refusing to return to old bondages.Anointed Service: Using spiritual gifts (like music or media) under the power of the Holy Spirit to destroy yokes.Authority Over Mammon: Mastering one's finances so that Christ remains the leader.Rec.
