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)

Daily Meditations and Affirmations - 14
Posted 09-24-2016 at 09:54 PM by Albert Finch
1 Corinthians 2:7,8 - "But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was, how shall the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even more with glory?"
These are days of DESTINY, filled with wonder and excitement. The awe of God is returning to the people of God, filling the heart of God's people with great expectation. Every eye shall behold His brilliance and magnificent Glory
WHERE IS THE GLORY? IT IS IN HIS PRESENCE.
OBSERVATION:
When I learn to draw close to Him and dwell in His presence, I will experience something even greater than what Moses did.
Moses met with Him face-to-face, but I have Him living in Me.
Hebrews 12:29 - "For our God is a consuming fire".
OBSERVATION:
If I am truly getting closer to Him, the fire in my life will be growing.
Ephesians 2:6 - "And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus."
AFFIRMATIONS:
A spiritual kingdom lies all about me, embracing me, altogether within reach of my inner self, waiting for me to recognize it.
God Himself is here waiting my response to His presence.
This eternal world will come alive to me the moment I begin to recon upon its reality.
