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 - April 29, 2019

Posted 04-29-2019 at 01:10 PM by Albert Finch


Do you want to know, hear, see, and be like Jesus?

Embrace His work in you so that He can work through you mightily.

Embrace the ministry of the Holy Spirit and allow the sevenfold flow of the Holy Spirit to manifest in your life (Revelation 4:5).

As we understand our divine union with Him and become obedient to His voice, we can engage face to Face, spirit to Spirit, and unite our hearts to His. When we plug into the center pipe of the heavenly menorah, we receive the fresh oil of Psalm 92 - "I am anointed with fresh oil" (Psalm 92:10 AMP).

GROWING IN FAVOR AND INFLUENCE

As the fresh oil pours in from the Word made real to our spirit, the anointing pours into the vat, and we become partakers of that rich flow of the unlimited anointing and union of the Holy Spirit.

We trim the wick and replenish the oil in perpetual communion with Him, and the flame burns in divine union with Him. The greater the flow of oil, the greater the flame. The greater the flame, the greater the favor and influence.
