Going to church, reading the bible, listening to Christian music will not advance your spiritual life. These activities may give you more understanding but until you are ready to lay down your life and take up your cross this leads nowhere.

What I am talking about is the sacrifice of self to advance the cause of Jesus Christ in the world. There is a destiny that God had for each of us that only we can personally discover. We can discover it only by detaching from the world and making ourselves available for the Holy Spirit. By detaching from the world--now you have time--the commodity that most Christians are not willing to give.

Jesus said, "Self-help is not help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, to finding yourself, your true self. (Matthew 16:25)

"God has planted eternity in the human heart." (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

"Anyone who lets himself be distracted from the work I plan for him is not fit for the Kingdom of God." (Luke 9:62)

"The most important thing is that I complete my mission, the work that the Lord Jesus gave me." (Acts 20:24)

"We have been sent to speak for Christ." (2 Corinthians 5:20)

"We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:10)

The attitude of christ

Posted 05-29-2016 at 02:34 PM by Albert Finch


Matthew 5:3 - "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for their's is the kingdom of heaven."

Affirmations:

I EMPTY MY SOUL. AND SEEK TO BE FILLED WITH THE ATTITUDE OF CHRIST, WHICH IS A SURE WELLSPRING - UNENDING, AND BRIMMING WITH LIFE ETERNAL.

I COUNT ALL THAT THE PROUD FLESH DESIRES AS WORTH LESS THAT NOTHING.

Philippians 3:8,9 - "I reckon everything as complete loss for the sake of what is so much more valuable, the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord. For His sake I have thrown everything away; I consider it all as mere rubbish, so that I might gain Christ and be completely united with Him."



Genesis 15:5,6 - "And God brought Abram forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and He said unto him, So shall thy seed be. And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness."


Affirmations:

I THINK ABOUT AND REFLECT ON THE WORD OF GOD - PONDERING A PARTICULAR SCRIPTURE AND MENTALLY APPLYING IT TO MY OWN CIRCUMSTANCES AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL THAT SCRIPTURE PERMANENTLY MARKS MY CONSCIOUSNESS.

AS GOD PUT VISION IN ABRAM THROUGH HIS WORD, HE WILL ALSO BRING UP INTO MY CONSCIOUSNESS HIS VISION FOR ME.

Mark 16:15 - And He said unto them, "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."


Observation:

JESUS EXPECTS ME TO INVADE EVERY SPHERE WHERE I HAVE INFULUENCE AND TO USE THAT INFLUENCE TO SHARE THE GOSPEL WITH THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE, WORK, AND FUNCTION IN THOSE PLACES.

I CHOOSE THIS DAY TO INVEST MY TIME AND ENERGY INTO FULFILLING THAT DIVINE ASSIGNMENT.
