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)

Seeking Communion – March 29, 2021

"Behold, you are fair, my love; behold you are fair; you have doves' eyes. - Song of Solomon 1:15
The Lord sees in you two kinds of beauty -- one outward, the other inward. Christ encourages you to find strength in knowing that all your present imperfections establish humility within you; yet He will perfect you so that you will be entirely without blemish. You already have 'doves eyes' -- you are simple within and without. Simplicity is the surest sign of spiritual progress. You will learn that you can use no artificial means to reach your Beloved. Let His Spirit lead you. Love is perfected in simplicity.
YOU WILL SEE WITH THE EYE OF THE DOVE
You shall truly see with the 'Eye of the Dove'. It will be His Spirit that reveals things to you. It has been His Spirit which has guided you. It has been His love that has drawn you.
So come into His presence with thanksgiving in your heart. Come into His presence with Joy, for He desires this.
He uses you to subdue all things because He will cause you to see!
Now is the time—a time to fulfill those things that have been on your heart (your CALLING to a higher life in Christ). It is a time of refreshing and a time of victory.
HOLD FAST! NOW IS THE TIME!
"Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, And come along. For behold, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone. The flowers have already appeared in the land; The time has arrived for pruning the vines. - Song Of Solomon 2:10-12
You will not be disappointed when you see what He has in store for you. He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. He is faithful to His word and will perform that which He has promised. Good things shall come to you. Great things are in store. Hold fast!
Now is the time to visualize your inheritance.
Now is the time to see the great manifestations of His power.
Now is the time!
So receive the 'Eye of the Dove'—the ability to focus wholeheartedly on Him! The ability to narrow your focus so that you are not distracted by outward forces. Remain undistracted! Your victory is in the place of focus! You are becoming increasingly aware of His person and presence, and that spiritual awareness will lift you above the pressure of this realm and catapult you into the realm of His presence.
So see with the eye of the dove! See! See! See!
