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)

How Awesome Is He In Your Place - Meditations

Posted 02-11-2024 at 02:39 PM by Albert Finch


God is ready to bring you a new understanding of the knowledge -- His Spirit desires that you would call out, you would decree His awesomeness, you would claim, and then revelation will come – with knowledge. And then with knowledge will come understanding; after understanding will be manifestation because you will mix that with faith, hope, and love. He longs for you to understand more fully.

By meditating and declaring how awesome He is in your place -- know that wherever you go so does He. Wherever He leads you, He goes before you, and He goes behind you.

Know that you cannot escape His presence but you carry His presence in your oneness with Christ.
Ask for knowledge of this revelation, for He wants you not only transformed, but wants you to be performing the good works that He has set before you, and it will be through the power of the Gospel coming through you. And as you let the power of the Gospel come through you, you will bear fruit that remains for God's advancing Kingdom through your Christ calling. The Gospel spills out of you into others as you disciple new believers into their Christ identity.

"Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God." - 1 Corinthians 2:12

Ask for revelation -- give Him a platform for manifestation, for He chooses to declare His own glory. And in this, a hungry, dying world will come to the revelation that not only is He alive and well, but that they are His, and He longs to be theirs.

"And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:" - 1 Corinthians 2:4
