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 – November 12, 2021
Posted 11-12-2021 at 03:08 PM by Albert Finch
You, Jesus, are my strong shield, and I trust you completely. You have helped me, and I will celebrate and thank you in song and praise. (Psalm 28:7)
As His anointed, the Lord is my strength and saving defender. (Psalm 28:8)
I am your inheritance, Lord Jesus, Shepherd me and lift me up forever! (Psalm 28:9)
I honor the Lord for the glory of His name and worship Him in the splendor of His holiness. (Psalm 29:2)
The God of glory thunders. The voice of the Lord is powerful and majestic and is over many waters. (Psalm 29:3,4)
In His presence I experience His glory. He is my King forever. (Psalm 29:9,10)
I exalt you, LORD, because you have not let Life's circumstances triumph over me. (Psalm 30:1)
I sing praises to you, Lord Jesus, and give thanks to the power of your holy name. (Psalm 30:4)
O Lord, I will never let prosperity move me from Your holy presence. (Psalm 30:6)
You have turned my mourning into dancing and clothed me with joy, O Lord my God, I will thank you forever. (Psalm 30:11,12)
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.
