Give Me Your Ashes Part 1 || Sunday Sermon Kris Vallotton

In this message from September 4th, 2022 at Bethel Church in Redding CA, Kris Vallotton shares a powerful revelation from the Lord on exchanging ashes for beauty. Often in life when we make decisions out of the ashes of our life, we forfeit the beauty the Lord wants to bestow upon us.
Instead of making verdicts out of the ashes of our lives, let’s release them into the hands of the Master who makes beauty out of ashes and move forward with garlands of gladness prepared for us as His royal sons and daughters.

This came up in my feed the day after my husband told me he wants out of our marriage, does not want more children and the week I lost my job (business closed). Thank you father for the shift that’s happening. I love you Lord and I will hold on to you. You are my hope and my redeemer.

[@mercieclay526]

Praying for you now!

[@justeencosar9766]

May the Lord give you strength and courage and may your healing come sudden and speedily.

God has been my sweet faithful caring husband since 1992, as I raised 3 boys on my own. We did it‼️🎉He will never… let you down‼️I had to leave an abusive husband after 10 years.

[@JM-pd5ch]

Father, take away the want, the need and desire. Those words where spoken to me 24 years ago. I was at church and woman who I've never met came up to me. She said, God says, He will take away the want, the need and desire. I went out to my car and threw 3 packs away and said, OK God!!! He totally delivered me. No withdrawal, no need, no desire to smoke. I was a chain smoker, 3 packs a day. Praying the same for you.

[@BreakthroughHolyFire]

Whoop!! Whoop!! Taking back what was lost!!

[@Kelly-ui5zm]

Giving the ashes over.... so good.

[@sarakemp3174]

This was for me. I’ve been in a Joseph prison. Lost much, much over the last decade. It took me over 2 hours to finish this video from sobbing. A whole lot of pain, disappointment loss and bitterness was released. God kept healing me of cancer over and over again. I think it was because of my extended Joseph season that it kept coming back. I truly believe God is shifting my season this very day. I believe I’ll wake up in the morning feeling 10x lighter and notice all the junk is gone. Thank you Jesus for releasing this through Kris. God bless y’all 💜

[@mariaxinia]

I just love your teachings. The compassion of Christ truly radiates in you and through you. Thank you for all You’re doing with your family for the Kingdom. God bless you

[@KVMinistries]

Thank you and merry Christmas!

[@LK-kn2tp]

Thank you Kris! I literally have ashes - of family members who passed during C19. I didn’t have the choice of burying them. I feel I have a field of ashes in my life - in the last 2 1/2 years - and GOD has given me strength, hope for eternity, BUT I want beauty for my ashes! That’s HIS gift - I’m saying yes!!!

[@suebrown324]

Perfect for me today.

[@LAnderson7]

You and Kathy are such an inspiration to me‼️Thank you for letting us see your heart Sir‼️You are a huge blessing in my life daily, as I binge on your labors of love!🎉Prayers for you and yours. 🕊✝️🙏

[@KVMinistries]

Thanks so much!

[@carolhopetyler2178]

Only God! It’s no coincidence that this message has come after the death and cremation of my precious Momma. It has been a long hard season of loss. Life has been almost unbearable for many years. Surrounded by sickness and death threatening every day, I’ve had to choose life over and over again. I’m exhausted. I want to trust you, Lord please take my ashes. Thank you Kris for this message.

[@blissful3553]

That's me!! I heard the Holy Spirit say will you surrender, surrender your hurt, your pain, your rejection from my children, your bitterness, It has been going on for too long. The accusations, the isolation, the rejection. I surrendered all and my ashes. Thank you Jesus for confirming what you doing. I got Coll 3v1-7

[@party320]

Obedience is greater than sacrifice. I'm stuck... at a job, mindset. You name it. And I found myself, saying this too. He makes beauty for ashes. Praise God for this sermon 🙌

[@atraumainformedway]

Whoa- 🙌

[@jenniferagger5855]

The Lord has been highlighting cardinals to me since the end of July. In the last week He has increased the frequency of occurrences.

[@throughthecross3390]

Humbled and grateful for this heartfelt message…cleansing, liberating, encouraging…expressing His Divine love for each of His children. Shalom!

[@LukasiMusic]

Amen Jesus.

[@amygorr154]

For me…. Thank you Father. Releasing the ashes, I see the hinge. Mine is a wall cracking and the light of Christ is breaking through! Restore to me the years the locusts have eaten!!!!! Praise God!

[@amandapugh5088]

Kris. Thank you for your devotion to the Lord and His word. I had Olivia in June 2021. It was a great season but my postpartum depression was delayed. I started experiencing deep depression and suicidal thoughts in January. I followed you on Facebook prior to this, everything you would write would resonate so strongly with my spirit. I love the way you think, it drew me to you so I followed you on FB. in February I started listening to your podcast. I have listened to ALL your podcast, going back to 2016. They encouraged and kept my head above water. I have fell more in love with Jesus and your teachings have encouraged that. Thank you for being a willing vessel

[@KVMinistries]

That's incredible, I'm thankful the podcast and teachings have impacted you! Blessings to you Amanda

[@kelliejoy7120]

Adonai, take away my ashes of loss, Mom and Dad’s deaths 4 months apart this year. I tried to care for them with all I had, yet I was not as patient as I could have been. I miss them so much and I wish I could love them again, serve them again, hold their hands again. Tell them I am sorry for not loving and serving them best. Amen

[@susanneengel-schuster]

I had an experience yesterday with a potato, looking like a fat big heart. Ja, the Lord speaks often through little prophane stuff! But mightily! Blessings from Germany 🇩🇪🙋

My Lord I just Lost my best friend my love when I was very very hurt this is very helpful Thank you

[@ANA-dk7lt]

Hey Kris, listening from Ireland this evening. Before l came on l was praying through Isaiah 61 that God gave me last night.! I was asking Him how to receive the beauty and sensed that as He was clothing me with so much beauty, the dust was fleeing away. I also felt Him call me out of the "crowd" -lm alone at mo- to look me in the eye and tell me that l myself am important and so precious and valued before Him. The emphasis was that " no I'm not highlighting this one or that one who you think of as somehow more special, this is for your ears only. My eye is on YOU.YOU are so precious to me. Kris l share this because as l was listening to your msg, l 'felt'the Lord wanted to convey a similar message to you. ( If it's only my thoughts ignore of course). He's beckoning you Kris, not Bill, not Cathy not ...but YOU. He wants YOU to know, you are His beloved, precious valuable and honoured son in whom He delights. ... Thanks for msg so beautifully and lovingly conveyed- and so hilarious in parts too. 😁☘

[@infosqtr9223]

I listen to all your messages and this one definitely was one of the best ones ever! Love your honestly and transparency...forever grateful for your leadership!

[@alegaspi59]

AMEN! Thank you for this as I handed my ashes to Jesus 🔥 I have seen too the cardinal these past few weeks ! It came up as my screen when I log out of my work laptop. I saw the cardinal' red head and thought of blood of Jesus 🙌 Then I hear your sermon 🙌 Also I have a sore throat and can only whisper...so I think God wants me to lean in closely to hear His whispers too 😃 I believe God can be in the small birds too...whichever He chooses. Thank you friend for this sermon! God bless you all 🔥📯

[@alegaspi59]

And in my sickness (sore throat), I am praying for my healing. Thank you God...in my sickness I see as opportunity to draw closer to You, lean in through prayer 🙏

[@chars1881]

Thank you!

[@Thosewhowait4031]

Wow! I had to go back and listen to this after seeing a cardinal on my back fence in Phoenix. I was reminded that it means hinge and remembered that the storm broke the hinge of my front door to my business. Guess Heaven is opened in my business!!!

I have written a book entitled beauty for ashes. I based it on the book of Ruth.

The female cardinal is brown so she can blend in with all the natural surroundings and be safe from predators as she protects the children. Also, as being a female from WV, I also know the Cardinal is the State bird of WV. Great message. I want to share with everyone. I truly needed to hear this.

[@KVMinistries]

Thanks for the info! That's amazing

[@arielleadams2100]

Never apologize for your tears, Kris V. Beautiful message... thank you for your courage in sharing this.

[@suedawkes6319]

This is so encouraging I have been evicted from our private rental kept the house immaculate and paid our rent and everything no blame I haven’t done any wrong I give God my pain and he is working on my behalf please pray for us I have been grieving over the home and let it go to God I give my weight to God

[@fonateemicheleburlingame1842]

Hi! I have been praying for an encounter. I know God has a plan for when and how. Can’t wait for mine.

[@MsHopeify]

A brown cardinal is a female. One of the few small wild birds in which male/female are easily distinguished by color. So maybe in addition to showing us God's hinge of change is here, maybe He is also showing us it is time for new birth and that it would come in an unassuming, unflashy, gentle, whispering way. A still small voice. The same Voice that said, "Light be!" and darkness shattered is speaking again to our hearts. "Light be!"

[@Andradatattoos]

I’ve been struggling so hard to let go of cigarettes. I hope you can pray for me. I want to go to bethel so bad. Please pray for me

[@VictoriaC777]

Hey Joeseph I smoked previously for almost 16 years. It was the Love of my life to be honest. No matter what I did I could not let it go. When I would think of quitting I would literally go into panic mode. I would listen to sermons on this, get prayer, etc. I did everything. Nothing worked. I kept feeling convicted about it and I couldnt share my faith because I felt so ashamed. I got so tired of feeling that way. I came to a cross road at which the Lord made it clear to me that he was extending his grace to me to quit I just needed to make up my mind. I don't mean to sound so simple but many times I would be like "I'm going to try to quit". Truth be told I couldn't "try" enough. I simply did not have the strength. Freedom started when I realized he was going to do it for me. I just had to decide I was going to believe that. I'm not saying its the same for you. I'm just sharing my story because I believe what he did for me, he will do for you. Your process may be different but do not give up! God will do what you can't and be led by the holy spirit. It's been about 18 months since I've had any nicotine of any sort. And honestly I still desire it but I know the feeling or "desire" won't last. It's honestly a miracle that I was able to quit and I give him all the Glory!!! I pray God would release strategy to you. I pray no shame and condemnation in Jesus name. Freedom in Jesus name!

[@karenlindsey9989]

I smoked for years and years. I will pray for your deliverance from smoking. But do not 😢let cigarettes keep you from going to Bethel Church or from receiving salvation paid for on your behalf by Jesus, Your Savior. Submit to God and allow him to transform your life. .

[@RTeBokkel]

Give Him your cigarette ashes. Then go to Bethel.

[@sierrawiegner3586]

I will surely pray for you. I just want you to know my mom struggled with this so badly. Not only cigarettes but also energy drinks. She realized she couldn't do it on her own. So she went to a Christian one year program called Adult and teen challenge. They are a one year amazing program with the best success rate and it's all about God. She is there now and no longer smokes. She doesn't even crave it, and she has been addicted my whole life. It's hard. It's not for everyone. But I would encourage you to pray about it. you can find out where the nearest one to you is, if you can no longer do it alone. I will be praying for you. God loves you

[@sarakemp3174]

God delivered me from smoking, I’ll pray for you 🙏
