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)

Praying The Psalms - September 25, 2021
Posted 09-25-2021 at 02:32 PM by Albert Finch
My soul blesses the Holy Name of the Lord and forgets none of His benefits. (Psalm 103:1,2)
He pardons all of my sins, heals all my diseases, and redeems my life from the pit. (Psalm 103:3,4)
He crowns me with lovingkindness and compassion and satisfies my years with grace and favor so that my youth is renewed like the eagle. (Psalm 103:4,5)
As high as the heavens are above the earth, as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed my sins from me. (Psalm 103:11,12)
Lovingkindness and His righteousness are from everlasting to everlasting on those who reverently fear Him. (Psalm 103:17)
I continually bless the Lord by serving Him and doing His will for my life. (Psalm 103:21)
I bless the Lord Jesus, O the savior of my soul who is clothed with splendor and majesty. (Psalm (104:1)
He makes me His messenger, baptizing me with the Holy Spirit and fire. (Psalm 104:4)
I sing to the Lord as long as I live and praise the name of Jesus as long as I have my being. (Psalm 104:33)
I am glad in the Lord as I meditate on His glory which endures forever. (Psalm 104:31,34)
Why pray the Psalm scriptures out loud?
It is hard to think about something other than what you are talking about. Praying out loud the scriptures solves the problem of the wandering mind. -- spoken words speak to the soul and have the power of raising thoughts in the soul. The Psalm scriptures speak of God in the Highest manner which most fully expresses the power and presence of God.
Strong's definition for "meditate" - HAGAH (Greek) - means to imagine. First, pray the scripture out loud -- then pray the scripture back to God. This prayer can be the prayer of thanksgiving, supplication, or praying the greatness of God and the benefits of God.
The first thing that you are to do when you are upon your knees, is to shut your eyes, and with a short silence let your soul place itself in the presence of God.
When you direct any of your petitions to Jesus let it be: thou art the radiance of thy Father's glory. Thou art the Alpha and Omega, The beginning and the end of all things: Thou has destroyed the power of the devil and hast overcome death.
