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)

Daily Meditations And Affirmations - May 18, 2024

Posted 05-17-2024 at 11:54 PM by Albert Finch


"Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these things." - Isaiah 40:26

Isaiah made them look up at the heavens: that is, he made them begin to use their imagination from an ascended viewpoint.

Go beyond your self life and away from your agendas and your idols and everything else that has been blinding your thinking. Wake up and accept the ridicule that Isaiah gave to his people, and deliberately turn your thoughts and your eyes to God's Kingdom and your role in it.

One of the reasons for your sense of futility in prayer is that you have lost your power to visualize. You can't even imagine putting yourself deliberately in front of another Christian to disciple them into their Christ identity.

AFFIRMATIONS:

Since I am in Jesus Christ all the fullness of the Godhead dwells in me. (Col. 2:9,10)

God has put eternity in my heart. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)

The Lord is like a burning fire shut up in my bones; I cannot contain it any longer. (Jer.20:9)
