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)

November 17, 2023 – Exhortation

Posted 11-17-2023 at 04:22 PM by Albert Finch


There are lands that must be taken in 2024. No matter what it is, you can believe that God wants to do it. Be it according to your FAITH (Matthew 9:29). Don't limit your thinking, because God wants you to break out and break forth into the new thing that He has in store for you. It is good and healthy to FORGET the former things, as God wants to do a NEW THING. Learn how to MOVE ON and FORWARD into the NEW! Don't live in the past, but move into your future in the Lord.

The enemy came to shake and rattle you, to steal your voice -- there is a weighty impartation of BOLDNESS that He is releasing to you in the revelation of the power of His voice. You are beginning to experience the deep groaning of His Spirit that is bringing forth the birthing of the NEW.

He is releasing upon you a BOLDNESS that you have not yet walked in. It is a boldness to NOT BOW to culture. It is boldness to speak His wisdom WITHOUT APOLOGY, yet dripping in love. It is boldness to speak what He is speaking and what's on His heart with conviction and fire. It is the boldness to not bow to fear or the fear of man, but to speak His truth. It is the boldness to stand and allow Him to release His voice through you in creativity—in a new and fresh way. It is a boldness to stand, unafraid of the enemy, recognizing your authority in Him and speaking what is on His heart; a boldness that at times will cause you to feel like you are going against the grain.

He does not want you to get stagnant but to come alive! Believe for the impossible for that is what God specializes in. Faith is not for what is possible but for that which is IMPOSSIBLE. Only believe!

Your consecration to Him (Romans 12:1) has moved His heart deeply. He is entrusting you with more. He is increasing the expanse of new territories and gardens that He will have you tend with Him – where the move of His Spirit is. What will take place will truly be unprecedented. You had to let go and die to some things to come into the expanse of new birthings upon your life.

Raise your expectations this week to see the manifestation of HIS ROAR in your life; to step into the first fruits of a season of being marked by His fire that will ignite you.

You are His arrow that He will send forth with fire. Through all you have endured, He has been sharpening you. He has been preparing you to be sent forth into new assignments as His arrow, to pierce the darkness and to bring His light (Matthew 5:14); to release His fire into new spheres, new realms, and new places. Watch as God begins to shift and realign what has been in chaos and a mess - -prophesy this over yourself today, in Jesus' mighty name!

Now begin to ROAR at the things that are trying to intimidate you. Prophesy, shout, worship, and let God's voice that's inside of you out -- the enemy will RUN!
