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)

Walking In God's Purpose For Our Life

Posted 09-15-2023 at 02:29 PM by Albert Finch


"...before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as My prophet to the nations." - Jeremiah 1:5

Although Jeremiah was called as a prophet, he still had to participate with action on his calling. God then instructs Jeremiah to "get up and prepare for action."

"Get yourself ready! Stand up and say to them whatever I command you. Do not be terrified by them, or I will terrify you before them." - Jeremiah 1:17

In other words, he was not to sit down on the job or make any excuses. He was to get up and go.

The call of God does not come with perfect circumstances but with many challenges to our obedience. There will always be an excuse to not participate in our calling. His Kingdom must come first in our lives because God, Himself, is first and our lives are to reflect who He is.

It is only through doing things at high altitudes that we get used to the height, and pretty soon we are soaring! In Christ, we are grounded, grafted into Him.

CHANGE OUR PERSPECTIVE


He wants to get us to the point where we are looking up, living up, coming up, and rising up as we live out “God’s purpose for our life on earth.

Be the Jushua God has ordained you to be – cross over and possess your land of promise and fruition. (your Christ calling).
