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)

Setting Your Mind
Posted 11-20-2023 at 08:34 PM by Albert Finch
Colossians 3:2 - "Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth."
Many people who are filled with unbelief call themselves "realists." Unbelief is faith in the inferior. Unbelief is actually faith in something other than God. They believe the material world rules over the spiritual world. Materialism is not simply the accumulation of goods.
We can want nothing and be materialistic because materialism is faith in the natural as the superior reality. Spiritual things are discerned only in the heavenly realm, and earthly things become clear only with heavenly insight. Therefore, heaven is the only worthwhile viewing point.
God wants to have a people who are consecrated to walk in His purpose for their life, bearing fruit that remains for His Kingdom so that He might rule over the earth through them.
