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)

October 4, 2023 - Exhortation
Anything that feels like an impossibility can become a giant in your life, When you allow things to become bigger to you than God's power, you have given the enemy a foothold in your life, and you are not renewing your mind with truth.

God is making an offer to eliminate the giants in your life if you will agree to destroy any place where the enemy has a foothold. Have you made an agreement with a lie? Have you partnered with fear? Have you resigned your situation to your circumstances instead of what God has promised? Have you lost faith and hope for your situation?

In this season, God is asking for a simple "yes." In giving Him your yes, He is taking your weakness and leading you to victory. He is asking you to trust Him with the giants before you -- surrender all impossible situations to Him. You are to step out in boldness and courage in your Christ calling and take ground for the Kingdom of God. God goes before you and He is the one to whom the victory belongs. You simply need to step out in obedience and trust in the One who brings the victory! This is the moment for boldness and trust!

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)

Spend time in God's presence. Lay down your thoughts, fears and conclusions about your situation and ask God to speak truth to you. Write it down and speak it out loud every day until it becomes bigger than your giant.
