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)

Posted 10-05-2023 at 09:55 AM by Albert Finch
The Body of Christ is entering a time of transition and God is about to raise up a new breed – a Jonah Generation. Many Believers are backslidden in their hearts. Many others are caught up in a merry-go-round of being slaves to the system rather than being heirs of the Kingdom.
This Jonah Generation will rise from among those who once had a life-changing mandate from God – a word, a prophecy, an encounter – but who walked away from it because of the religiosity in the Church.
God is calling back these "Jonahs" who have walked away from their original CALLING and mandate and have instead gone into business. This is precisely what Jonah did. He had a calling to declare the word of God to Nineveh, but in fear of its great wickedness, he walked away from his mandate. He fled to Tarshish. On his way to Tarshish, Jonah was swallowed by a big fish. Jonah was spat out and released into the natural realm as one prepared to deal with the dark evil of Nineveh.
In raising a Jonah Generation, God will restore people who have been perceived as "backslidden." They will have revelation of God's PURPOSE for their life and come into the intimacy that activates and advances the Kingdom of God. They will be people who walk in their Christ identity as they change the whole atmosphere of their environment and equip other believers to do the same.
Jesus Himself said in Luke 21:28, "When you see these things happen, lift up your head because your redemption is near." Psalm 24 tells us to "lift up your heads you gates and allow the King of Glory to come in." The new breed of the Jonah Generation are the gates.
Who will let in the King of Glory?
