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 - July 4, 2024

Posted Today at 05:37 PM by Albert Finch


"Abide in Me." - John 15:4

To abide in Christ is to abide in His love. His love is a supernatural love that transcends anything that we understand about love.

As I am one with Christ, His love is always available to me and is necessary in bearing fruit that remains for His Kingdom through my Christ calling.

As you go throughout the day, see His love flowing into your heart and your heart is bathing in it. See it flowing back to Jesus and then again back to you. His love abiding in you will express itself in the intense desire to disciple others into a higher spiritual life in Christ.

Make tthe determination to abide in Jesus' love wherever you are now or wherever you may be placed in the future.

AFFIRMATIONS:


I AM ONE WITH JESUS, JESUS IS ONE WITH THE FATHER -- WE ARE ALL ONE. (JOHN 17:21)


GOD LOVES ME AS MUCH AS HE LOVES JESUS.

THE LOVE OF JESUS IS FLOWING INTO MY HEART
RIGHT NOW.

AS I LIVE AND BREATHE, THE LOVE OF JESUS POSSESSES ME ALL DAY LONG.
