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 - September 8, 2020
Posted 09-08-2020 at 09:55 PM by Albert Finch
Isaiah 60:1-2 - “When darkness is covering across our land, the glory of the Lord shall be seen upon His people.” There will be tangible evidence of God’s glory in great ways in the coming days.
In covenant victory of the cross, relationship between the person and God is established and sealed by the Holy Spirit, thus in turn allowing the person to experientially enjoy the fellowship of communion and growth in that relationship.
As the glory of God comes, there’s also power. In Acts 1:8 it says, “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” He empowers us with His power to be a witness, the anointing of the Holy Spirit. When the glory comes, there is also the power of God.
When people encounter the power of God, they will be set free, they will be ministered to, and even their very emotions will be changed. As believers, we should have a perpetual hunger and desire to experience more of God’s glory.
2 Corinthians 3:18 says, “But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.” The word carries the glory of God and the power of God.
As you turn up your expectancy that this will be one of the most powerful times of increase that will come from the glory and the power of the Lord in your life. This increase will come as a result of God’s Glory and God’s Power that you encounter fresh every day. Go into this season with a higher level of expectation than your previous season -- the Lord is going to strengthen you, anoint you, empower you, and favor you to see even greater increase in this new season of time.
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, we can see limits lifted off. We can see great and mighty things take place because of the measureless realm of God. Lift your vision higher. Set your expectation on the Lord.
