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)

Posted 09-14-2023 at 04:17 AM by Albert Finch


This present season is going to be a season of Genesis, of new creation—even new beginnings, this will also be a time of fulfillment of promises and expansion with an emphasis on Kingdom advancement. Be encouraged as God wants to put you right where you belong so that you can have an impact in your Christ calling.

The sons of God are led by the Spirit of God (Romans 8:14). It is the Holy Spirit that brings truth and revelation to the inner-man, the spirit man, or new creation in Christ that you are. It is in your spirit that God comes alive, not your soul. Your soul is affected as you affirm and meditate on scripture, therefore, become spiritually attuned – NOW you have given the Holy Spirit something to work with.

2 Corinthians 5:17 - "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."

As we are awakened to this realm of living, there is limitless potential in how God can flow through us. Because we have been born of the Spirit, the nature of God is there to be accessed on the inside. We are not trying to get God to come down because He already did that. He awakened our spirit, gave us His Holy Spirit, and He trains our mind, as we affirm and meditate on His Word, with His promises that we may partake of His divine ministry to change the world.

When atmospheres change from darkness to light and when Heaven is manifested on the earth, it stirs and shifts things in the invisible realm where God's angels are activated. As you continue to engage with God – manifesting His Kingdom in such a way through your Christ calling that the light of His presence changes atmospheres – His heavenly hosts will bring their assistance to you.
