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)

Embracing The Limigless Anointing

Posted 06-22-2024 at 02:09 AM by Albert Finch


Today we set our hearts and focus on the presence of the Lord and His NOW word that brings divine impartation that will enable us to flourish into a season of great fruitfulness for the glory of the Lord as we advance in His calling on our life.

John 15:8 - "My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples."

Basking in His presence and power, love takes hold more deeply, joy springs forth like a river, peace is established by the Prince of Peace, and as we are pursuing our calling in Christ we are empowered to live above our natural ability.

Galatians 5:25 - "Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit's leading in every part of our lives." NLT

We are enabled to live in the Spirit and by the Spirit—moving from glory to glory in our Christ calling. His gifts and the fruit of His Spirit are continually increasing and flowing with rivers of His goodness that provide all we need for life and godliness.

POSITIONING OURSELVES TO BEAR FRUIT FOR THE KINGDOM

His presence is also a place of genuine hunger for the Word of God – realizing that God has put His Kingdom inside us, and it manifests to the world through the work of each Believer as they move forward in their calling. The Word comes alive and mysteries are revealed as the Word becomes like fire in the bones as we seek to bear fruit unto God's Kingdom. Within us arises a holy boldness to decree the Word of God to shift the unseen realm and break down every barrier of the enemy with the power of the Word.

1 Thessalonians 1:5 - "for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction;"


EQUIPPED TO ADVANCE GOD’S KINGDOM

We now see the authority and power that is available to us and the increase that will accomplish the destiny He has purposed for us to achieve..

Ephesians 3:16 – “that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being,”

Your future comes from God’s possibilities and from His potential, not the world’s, not your own. His potential and all of His promises of possibility flow through the Holy Spirit into you, and He will strengthen you with His might to accomplish those things -- to be who you are called to be, to do what you are called to do (God's PURPOSE for your life), and to enjoy God’s favor as you move forward in your Christ calling, bearing fruit that remains for His Kingdom.

The Holy Spirit desires us to live every day in the fullness of the Lord, by seeing above and beyond what we can do, and He desires for Jesus to receive glory and honor through His great power that works in us and through us. This is the essence of what Paul writes about in Ephesians 3:20–21: “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”
