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)

Seeking Communion - June 16, 2018

Posted 06-16-2018 at 01:17 PM by Albert Finch


In this present season the Body is experiencing they are crossing the Red Sea. But some are too tired to cross the Red Sea, because they have exalted themselves, and they have left themselves weary. Others will run across the Red Sea, because they have exalted Him, and have refreshed themselves by His Spirit.

Others will be on the shoulders, and ride on the back of others, because they're weary, and they're tired, from trials. But others are strong, and standing in faith, and will be so overcome with love, that they will reach down and carry them across the Red Sea.

You will see some who will sit down, and they will prefer eating, even in the fat of that land, for they were accustomed to being a slave, and they kept the slave mentality – the familiarity. They did not want to know what was ahead, and because they did not know the unknown, they chose not to enter into the unknown. This is a time where you will see that faith that has been tested by fire, after fire, after fire, will be the very faith that you will walk upon and with, and it will carry you out.

You will see others who have been in the fire, and they will come out of the fire, but they will not come out weak. They will come out hot, fresh, burning flames; ready to devour the works of the enemy, and take back what they knew was promised to them and their household.

ENTER THE PROMISED LAND OF HIS WORD

This is a time when His people will come, and they will enter into the Promised Land of His Word. Many have forsaken the promises in His Word, and have taken the word of man, and it has not profited anything. For they have looked to man to fulfill man's word, and so they have tried to gain knowledge, they've tried to gain insight, they've tried to gain influence and power. But it has all been of a soulish mentality.

But there will be others whose spirit will come out, and they will be so in-tune with His Spirit that they will not merely walk beside Him, they will walk in Him. And He in turn will walk in them.

THE POWER OF HIS BLOOD

Some have gotten away from the true knowledge of the power of His Blood, and yet they wonder where the power is.
In many cases the "Blood of the Gospel" has been put aside; to pat the hand of others and give sympathy. And really what happened was that it became a counterfeit compassion that really encouraged the flesh, rather than bringing the flesh into obedience to the Word.

"Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink His blood, you have no life in you; he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and I will raise him up at the last day. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me and I in him." - John 6:53,54,56

Call His Word to come forth. Command His Word to become alive and active. Let His Word devour your flesh, so that you can be so devouring with His Word, that all that will not obey, will have to bend, because His Word is eternal.
