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)

Seeking Communion - June 13, 2024

Posted 06-12-2024 at 11:59 PM by Albert Finch


Those who wait on Him and remain faithful to obey Him will soar. They will accomplish more NOW than ever before. Now is the time for the mature believers to prevail -- the tenacious ones who don't give up, who persist -- the faithful ones who set their face toward their Christ calling and do not relent till it bears fruit that remains.

This is the hour for the warrior spirit to arise, the sons of the Lion of Judah! This is the season to excel and ascend. Cultivate that spirit of excellence.

"Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and innocent children of God -- without fault in a warped and crooked generation. Among whom you will appear as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life." - (Philippians 2:14-16)

He will grow your influence and enlarge your territory (1 Chronicles 4:10). Abide in Him, let Him abide in you. Only with His presence will you produce fruit that lasts.

This is the year for the workers in the field, the ones who have pledged their allegiance to the Lord of hosts and served Him with unwavering resolve -- He will come and be with His faithful servants -- He will empower them to do far greater things than they could've ever imagined.

This is the year that the nameless, faceless, rankless army of the Lord will be raised up. A company of people who fear only the Lord, whose eyes look only to Him, and who march in unity without breaking rank.

Remove pride that exalts itself against Him --

remove the human wisdom that rises up against His wisdom.

For His ways are above your ways,

His thoughts are higher than your thoughts.

Let His advancing Kingdom dominate your passion and vision.



"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall, but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." - Isaiah 40:28-31
