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)

Embracing The Fire

Posted 08-15-2020 at 02:10 AM by Albert Finch


Revelation 19:14 - "And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses."

In this passage, a wonderful picture is painted of the armies of Heaven following Christ into battle. These armies have been washed in the Blood of the lamb. These are the souls of the departed saints that are going to return with Christ when He invades this world and destroys the armies of darkness.

The Lord in this hour is about to send His fire upon the Church. Those that are not ready may not be prepared for this fire, but it is going to consume the darkness from their lives. They are going to be touched in the core of their beings and they will rise as Knights in White Linen. They will conquer darkness in the name of the King.

YOU ARE A CONQUEROR!

You are royalty in Christ. You are undefeatable in Christ. There is nothing that can conquer you as you seek to advance His Kingdom. You are more than a conqueror. You are an overcomer who will overcome every trial and difficulty that comes against you.
In the quest to discover God's purpose for your life everyone goes through difficulty. Everyone has something that they are facing which they must endure and overcome. Whatever the problem, you have Christ as the answer.

As we allow Him to wash us clean of all the stains in our hearts then we will be prepared to understand and progress in His purpose for our life. It is not that we do anything to make ourselves worthy. Jesus did it all on the Cross.

WALKING IN THE SPIRIT

Your job is to stand and respond to the prompting of the Holy Spirit. As we seek to apprehend His calling on our life, He will set us free of many things that have been holding us down:
Just let God touch the deep places of your heart. You can feel the pain in there.
Place yourself in a position to let him lift every burden from your life.
Lie face down in the glory and tell Him you want to be changed. He will change you day by day.

Just let go and let Him wash away the pain of your life.

1 John 1:7 says, "But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the Blood of Jesus, His Son, cleanses us from all sin."

And then in Hebrews 9:14, "How much more will the Blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God."

And again in Ephesians 5:26-27, "...that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the Word, so that He might present the Church to Himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish."


You are a part of this army of God that is rising. Jesus is going to cleanse every spot and wrinkle of your life. You are a Knight in White Linen. The work of Jesus on the Cross is sufficient to cleanse and set you free.
