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)

October 24, 2023 – Exhortation

Posted 10-24-2023 at 01:07 AM by Albert Finch


Some Believers are seeing new and terrifying giants emerging and standing at the gates to their life's greatest promises, but this is not a moment to retreat or be intimidated! You may have been saying at this point, "Do I turn back around?

All the attacks that have come against you – the words, the assassination, the lies that told you that you were barren – are going to be shown up as God reveals what has been incubating in secret, increasing through your worship. The delay has only increased the size of the harvest.

Get ready to feel a surge of fresh creativity where it has been blocked, and a fresh anointing to pioneer the new and unseen blueprints from the Lord's heart. He will tear down the schemes and plans of the enemy and break through even the most impossible doors for you to walk through!

Watch now as He breaks open the way where the way that has seemed shut (Isaiah 43:19). Watch as He overturns the bad reports and opens up what looks locked. Even now, you have begun to back-peddle on your Christ calling and have reduced your vision, but He hasn't called you to operate under the constraints of the natural, but in the realm of the impossible. So believe again!

So it's time to get your perspective back. But you have said, 'How can I get vision in an unknown season?' By getting your eyes off the problem and back onto the horizon. This is where you will have to look out across the seas and attach your faith to that cloud the size of a man's hand (1 Kings 18:44). This is a time when you will have to prophesy rain when you aren't seeing even a drop. This is a time when you will have to roar into the vacuum until it shifts.
