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)

Daily Meditations and Affirmations - June 29, 2024
Posted Yesterday at 09:50 AM by Albert Finch
"Pray without ceasing." - 1 Thessalonians 5:17
Prayer is not an exercise, it is the life of the born-again Believer. Beware of anything that stops the offering up of prayer.
Maintain the childlike habit of offering up prayer in your heart to God all the time. Think of prayer as the breath in your lungs and the blood from your heart. Your blood flows and your breathing continues "without ceasing"; you are not even conscious of it, but it never stops. You are always in oneness with Jesus.
Your expectation is that God will always answer your prayer regardless of what your common sense tells you. The things Jesus taught about prayer are supernatural truths and are not subject to reasoning.
AFFIRMATIONS:
God, because of His great love made me alive together with Christ. (Ephesians 2:4-5)
Jesus shows me the path of life; in His presence is fullness of joy. (Psalm 16:11)
Out of my heart flows rivers of living water to enrich the spiritual lives of others because of Jesus' love for me. (John 7:38)
I run the race that is set before me, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith. (Hebrews 12:1)
