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)

Being Confident In Him
Posted 12-07-2016 at 03:09 PM by Albert Finch
"Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ" (Philippians 1:6)
The Lord has a way of making every misstep and wrong turn to somehow make you "land in His hand." Even in those times of confusion and bewilderment when you thought, "I'll never get out of this..." God makes a way:
"Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but Thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place" (Psalm 66:12).
Never think, "My life is over," or, "I totally failed God," or, "I'll never be a success." These are the words of satan or your carnal mind! As long as you are breathing – keep trusting and knowing that victory is right around the corner. You are loved and God can be trusted.
God said through Joshua: "Not one of all the Lord's good promises...failed; every one was fulfilled"
(Joshua 21:45).
AFFIRMATIONS:
I am delivered from the evils of this present world for it is the will of God (Galatians 1:4).
Out of His glorious riches He strengthens me with power through his Spirit in my inner man (Ephesians 3:16).
In all things I am more than a conqueror through Him who loves me (Romans 8:37).
I am an overcomer and I overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of my testimony. (Revelation 12:11)
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14).
