Praying Amiss

Posted 11-05-2023 at 11:11 AM by Albert Finch (How Do I Advance My Spiritual Life?)

"You have not because you ask not. You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss." - James 4:2,3

What does it mean to pray wrong?

In many cases it simply means to pray without expecting results. Many Believers use prayer as a kind of spiritual wishbone.

Start praying to in the Name of Jesus according to the Word of God, and expecting to receive what you ask for every single time -- this is bold and you have a scriptural right to be bold....

Entering Our New Season

Posted 11-05-2023 at 10:52 AM by Albert Finch (How Do I Advance My Spiritual Life?)

In Song of Solomon 2, the Lover (Jesus) is wooing His Beloved to a new place in verse 10, "Rise up, my beloved, my fair one, and come away," he invites.
He then goes on to declare that "the winter is past…the flowers are springing up, and the time of singing birds has come…the fig trees are budding, and the grapevines are in blossom," and then he repeats his invitation for her to arise and come away with him (Song of Solomon 2:13).

November 5, 2023 - Exhortation

Posted 11-05-2023 at 09:51 AM by Albert Finch (How Do I Advance My Spiritual Life?)

If there is luke-warmness, you have to take responsibility for it. It's not always the church's fault. You've got to STIR YOURSELF UP by asking, seeking, and knocking (Matthew 7:7) until you come to understand God’s purpose for your life so you can start bearing fruit that remains for His Kingdom here on earth.

Marching upon the path of God’s purpose for your life is similar to pumping spiritual iron. Each time you wield the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6), which is the word of...

Our Potential To Advance His Kingdom

Posted 11-04-2023 at 11:42 PM by Albert Finch (How Do I Advance My Spiritual Life?)

Colossians 3:3 - "For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God."

Paul informs us that God hid our abundant life in Christ. Where is Jesus? Answer: seated at the right hand of the Father, in heavenly places. (Ephesians 1:20) Our abundant life is in our Christ anointing that we received when we became born again. And only faith can make the withdrawals.

Faith was never intended only to get us into the family. Faith sees. It brings our potential...

Pursuing Breakthrough

Posted 11-04-2023 at 11:19 PM by Albert Finch (How Do I Advance My Spiritual Life?)

1 Chronicles 14:11 -- "So they went up to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there. Then David said, 'God has broken through my enemies by my hand like a breakthrough of water.' Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim [meaning Master of Breakthrough]."


Breakthrough is the result that occurs after you have allowed God to change you. You have repented of your sins and they are no longer holding you down and making you weak in your battle against...
