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)

Rule And Reign

Posted 11-17-2023 at 10:55 PM by Albert Finch



"Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you...." - 2 Timothy 1:6


Every believer holds a position of authority that comes with God-given talents or gifts and is hidden in Christ Jesus, above all demonic authority. So why are so many of us INEFFECTIVE?

God didn't save and deliver you so you could preserve His gift in a sealed jar and live life as usual.

God's people were created to rule and reign, not to be defeated. He has plans for us to rule and reign with Him in eternity. But our practice begins now. We were saved by the power of God and we live by the same power. The devil hates power because he gets kicked out of places where he is the strong man. God is much stronger and wants to kick him out of people and places through us.

We don't need to wait for something to happen. Instead, we need to stir that which God has already put inside of us. It is our hunger and thirst for Him that will BREAK US into a greater reality of fruit-bearing that remains that advances His Kingdom through our Christ calling and moves us from glory to glory.

It is time to become a walking God-encounter for others. Stir up your faith and release it to others as situations present themselves for you to help them with their spiritual development. Inhale His love and affirm your Christ identity, for what you allow Him to do in you, He will release through you.
