Understanding All Our Sins Are Forgiven

Posted 07-30-2023 at 01:58 PM by Albert Finch (How Do I Advance My Spiritual Life?)

Hebrews 4:16 - "So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most."

When we sin, we don't need to punish ourselves, because Jesus already took our punishment and He now offers us His mercy. He is extending his mercy to you right now, but you must believe it and receive it in order for it to benefit you.

Don't turn away because you know you don't deserve it. Receive...

Overcoming Your Self Nature

Posted 07-30-2023 at 01:57 PM by Albert Finch (How Do I Advance My Spiritual Life?)

Proverbs 3:5 - "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."


Your self-nature is overactive, impulsive, and always striving for something just outside your reach. If you give up all those things that provoke your curiosity and set your mind spinning, you will have more than enough time to spend with God.


God, working within your spirit, produces a calm and faithful heart that the world cannot touch.

Other Lovers

Posted 07-30-2023 at 01:55 PM by Albert Finch (How Do I Advance My Spiritual Life?)

James 4:4 -- "You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God."

When you fall out of love with God you have to find movies, you have to find sports, you have to find other worldly things.

James calls it spiritual adultery to sleep with these things all week because there is no true intimacy with the Holy Spirit.

Stepping Into Your Christ Calling

Posted 07-30-2023 at 01:54 PM by Albert Finch (How Do I Advance My Spiritual Life?)

2 Corinthians 5:17 - "All things have become new."

1 Corinthians 3:23 - "you are Christ's and Christ is God's."


God means for us to walk in this royal way. Jesus left us the responsibility of allowing Him to bring forth through us the greater works (John 14:12). If we do not step into God's purpose for our life, it is a tragedy.

God is waiting for us to act. Jesus lived a life of perfect activity. There is no standing still. "As...

Your Christ Potential

Posted 07-30-2023 at 01:52 PM by Albert Finch (How Do I Advance My Spiritual Life?)

Genesis 1:26 - "Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.'"

God created you and commanded you to dominate the earth. God wouldn't have made that demand if you couldn't do it.

You have the potential to dominate the earth because God placed within every human...
