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)

Where Is The Limit To Your Faith?

Posted 11-15-2016 at 12:31 AM by Albert Finch


For many Believers, it can be difficult to hear and even harder to believe that their finest hour is upon them, because their circumstances and all of the hardships in their lives forbid them from walking in this dimension by faith. It takes an extreme faith to break out of extreme situations, and many of us, at one time or another have found ourselves in some of the most disastrous, destitute circumstances of our lives.

Walking around a dead situation long enough can sometimes dampen even the most brilliant and powerful faith! However, it's just these times where God comes to us and asks us like He asked Ezekiel, "Can these dry bones live?" (See Ezekiel 37:3)

After you have heard the darkest and most depressing news, do you still believe that God is able? What you have to realize is that in your trying times and dark moments, you're not walking around bones, you're walking around a TESTIMONY that is waiting! You're literally walking around prophecy in the making! (See Ezekiel 37:7-10)

God's question to Ezekiel was never about the bones. What God was really asking Ezekiel was, "Where is the limit to your faith?" After seeing all the death and devastation, God needs someone who will rise up and declare, "MY GOD IS STILL ABLE!"

That is what God is looking for TODAY! God needs your voice to declare His power!
Someone around you needs to hear that God is still able to save, heal, deliver, defend, provide, heal, and bring victory!
