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 11-10-2023 at 09:54 PM by Albert Finch


Delay is broken and you are moving into your Kairos time (Philippians 1:6). New wells are breaking open -- ways and means ot discipling the spiritually stagnant into their Christ identity. Wells (John 4:14) represents God Himself -- He calls Himself the "Spring of Living Water" (Jeremiah 2:13). This season the Holy Spirit is releasing passion and energy to Believers who have become weary.

In the months to come, you are going to see the impact of your "yes" upon your Christ calling -- the baton you have been carrying is going out. The borders around you will extend. Your tent pegs are stretching wider (Isaiah 54:2) and every ceiling around you is breaking. It has felt slow but it's working. Your yes in the dark has done more than you know.

Yes, there are about to be destiny-defining moments in the next few months that will alter the course of your path, because of your "yes" in the foggy unknown. There are going to be lights that turn on, doors that open, and treasures that unlock because against all odds, you dared to believe God and hold Him to His word.

The restrictions that were imposed on you, the assignments set to cage and contain you will be no match for your newfound breaker anointing that will annihilate every restraint that you encounter.

Unexpected fruit is about to flood out of your life -- the fruit of fresh wonder and adventure and new strategic pathways as a result of trusting God and stepping into the unknown. You will be surprised at what will effortlessly flood from you (John 7:38).

So today, stop looking around; give Him your roads. Let Him heal your road wounds. Let Him wash your feet and let Him speak love and affirmation into your soul -- the best is yet to come!
