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)

January 20, 2024 - Exhortation

Posted 01-20-2024 at 12:00 PM by Albert Finch


There are things that He has purposed for you (your calling in Christ); there are things the Lord wants to strengthen you to believe for again. In His glory and power, there is no limitation. Because of His inexhaustible supply, you can see limits lifted off. You can see great and mighty things take place because of the measureless realm of God.

This is the time for you to cross the threshold into personal revival. Will you come into agreement with what He desires to do through you?

Revival is not a marketing catchphrase or even a series of meetings held at a church. It is a supernatural intervention of God. Revival is the Holy Spirit blowing His breath and resuscitating something that has become lifeless. It is available to anyone who will pursue God with all their heart. (Jeremiah 29:12-13)

Lift your vision higher. Set your expectation on the Lord. As you SEE with the new eyes HE has given you in this season -- SEE the enlargement. Not only will you receive what you have believed for -- you will receive more than you can imagine or dream of.

Not only will God birth through you what He intends, but He will travail for you -- suddenly things will turn, and you will see them come to pass without even understanding how it is possible.

"...imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised." (Hebrews 6:12)
