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 04-28-2024 at 09:53 AM by Albert Finch


Father God births dreams within you, and you will know it is Him because He will continue to confirm His word. You will be filled with great joy, and the dream and vision will keep you awake at night dreaming of the endless possibilities.

For as you move with Him in obedience and boldness, you will see favor fall upon you in significant ways. What He has shown you, given you, and is calling you to spearhead and walk in HAS to be different, because He is doing something completely new and wants to release something NEW into the earth THROUGH YOU!

As these new visions are being given to you; as these new pathways, creative ideas and new strategies are being released, there is a temptation to hold back in fear or to doubt but do all you can to step forward in the vision He is releasing and expect to receive ABUNDANT provision.

There will be more provision for these trailblazing pathways and "off the beaten track" adventures with Him than you have EVER received before. You will see how radical obedience to Him brings forth RADICAL provision.

"See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." (Isaiah 43:19)
