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)

Apprehending Faith
Posted 10-24-2023 at 07:23 PM by Albert Finch
Romans 10:17, it says, "So then faith comes by hearing and hearing, by the Word of God."
Christ gave us the gift of faith when we received Him. We must hear the Word of God. The best way to hear it is to say it out loud as we go throughout the day. Also meditate on it and visualize ourselves in the Word. It is Christ's faith in us, not our own faith, that we take up and use.
"In Christ lives all the fullness of God" (Colossians 2:9) "and in Christ you have been brought to fullness" Colossians 2:10)
"as the Father has sent Me, I also send you." (John 20:21)
because Jesus has already overcome the world, His victory is our victory. Therefore, there is nothing impossible for the Believer. Ephesians 6:16 - "ABOVE ALL, TAKE THE SHIELD OF FAITH."
