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)

Already A Reality

Posted 01-16-2024 at 02:15 PM by Albert Finch


Hebrews 11:1 - "Now faith is the substance fo things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

The verse does not say that faith is the evidence of things that do not exist. God says what He has promised is already a reality. Yet it won’t become a manifested reality in my life until I believe it is real before I see it – through fully trusting Him and His word.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 - "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the pulling down of strongholds."

WHAT MEN CALL "SALVATION" IS SIMPLY THE FIRST STAGE OF GOD'S PLAN FOR OUR LIVES, WHICH IS TO FORGIVE US OUR SINS SO WE ARE AVAILABLE TO ADVANCE AND BEAR FRUIT THAT REMAINS FOR HIS KINGDOM IN THE EARTH – CONFORMING US TO THE EXAMPLE JESUS SET FOR US IN HIS MINISTRY. IF WE FAIL TO SEE OUR RELATIONSHIP TO GOD AS SUCH, WE WILL ALLOW OLD WAYS OF THINKING (STRONGHOLDS) TO REMAIN UNCHANGED. IN GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

Song of Solomon 4:4 - "Your neck is like the tower of David, built up with bulwarks, a thousand shields hang upon it, all the armor of the mighty men."

THE WEAKER YOU ARE IN YOURSELF, THE STRONGER YOU ARE. THE NECK IS THE STRENGTH OF THE SOUL. HERE THE NECK IS COMPARED TO THE TOWER OF DAVID BECAUSE YOUR ONLY TRUE STRENGTH IS IN GOD. DAVID REPRESENTS THE HOUSE OF JESUS CHRIST. THE BULWARKS THAT SURROUND YOU ARE BUILT WITH THE TOTAL ABANDONMENT THAT YOU HAVE TOWARD YOUR LORD.
