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)

Sanctioning Our Consciousness

Posted 02-23-2022 at 12:08 AM by Albert Finch


"And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Me" (John 12:32).

Another way we can look His words is this: "If I be lifted up, magnified and exalted to a place of consciousness in your heart, I will draw all men unto Me."

The convictions you hold about God and yourself in Christ directly determine what you display in life. You must sanction your consciousness to rise upon Christ until He becomes tangibly touchable or real within you. It is Christ in us that gives our spirits the ability to discern and consciously feel, see, hear and become a spirit that speaks for Him.

For no one can serve two masters; he or she will love the One (Christ) and despise the other. When we are aware of our right state of being (in Christ) and believe it to be truth (the spirit of truth) we will manifest that reality (Christ consciousness).

DWELLING IN CHRIST

"In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you" (John 14:2). The mansion to which He referred is not just a future place of residency in Heaven for us to inhabit after we shed our earthly bodies. It is where Christ is – in a higher state of spiritual existence and being. It is incredible that we can dwell there too.

Learning to dwell in the active, life-giving power of "Christ consciousness" causes us to discover and advance in God's CALLING ON OUR LIFE.
God's wisdom freely flows from eternity, reaching into the temporal realm of time, to bring about and display His divine perspectives. Prayer, dreams and visions open the window of revelation that is from another future realm of time, which allows us to reach inside eternity to retrieve godly wisdom.

Being acutely aware of Christ in us makes all things possible. "You will also decide and decree a thing, and it will be established for you; and the light [of God's favor] will shine upon your ways" (Job 22:28).
