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 Affimrations - 225

John 14:12 - "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father."

Jesus' life was a model of what mankind could become if it were in right relationship with the Father. This meant that every true believer would have access to the realm of life that Jesus lived in. Jesus came as the light of the world. He then passed the baton to us announcing that we are the light of the world.





John 1:51 - "Then He said to him, 'I assure you, most solemnly I tell you all, you shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man!'"

Genesis 28:12 - "And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it!"

WHAT WAS THE INITIAL REVELATION OF THE HOUSE OF GOD? IT HAS THE PRESENCE OF GOD, A GATE TO HEAVEN, AND A LADDER WITH ANGELS ASCENDING AND DESCENDING UPON IT. THIS REVELATION SHOWS THE RESOURCES THAT ARE AT OUR DISPOSAL TO CARRY OUT THE MASTER'S PLAN.

Affirmations:

I AM THE TEMPLE OF GOD.

I AM A DWELLING PLACE OF GOD.

MY ASSIGNMENT IS TO BE A STEWARD OF THE HEAVENLY REALM.

MY SPEECH DEMONSTRATES THE POWER OF GOD'S SPIRIT IN MY LIFE.







Philippians 4:6 - "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God."

Many prayers for lost loved ones never really reach their heavenly destination, not because people weren't praying, but they simply are not believing that they would receive what they were asking for.

"They replied, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved -- you and your household.'" - Acts 16:31

Many who have been faithfully praying for family members for many years are actually praying themselves into a state of depression.This kind of praying is not scriptural! Begin to believe and start thanking Him that He is going to save them NOW! Thank Him that He is going to bring in the lost.

Go ahead and start treating the lost as though they were already saved. Start living as though your prayers are already answered! When you do, your life will become so full of thanksgiving and praise and worship, that you will begin to see delivery from Heaven. Praise and worship moves Him to do outrageous acts of blessings upon the earth!

Prayer with thanksgiving proves to God that we believe we are going to receive what we are asking for.
