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)

Ten Power Exhortations - July 6, 2018
Posted 07-06-2018 at 02:05 PM by Albert Finch
If we do not allow God to move us from glory to glory, we will get caught up in living in an old season. As the Holy Spirit moves us, the methodology of an old season will not propel us into the future. We need something new and fresh. We need a new glory.
How many minutes today can we turn into holy communion?
We can easily become so involved in the “work of the Lord” that we overlook the “Lord of the work.” Our priority each morning at prayer time should be to minister unto our Lord. Sing to Him, brag on Him and read the Word back to Him.
“I will bless the Lord at all times.” - Psalm 34:1
If we are really His temple, and His Spirit abides in us, we would see Him in all that we do, and the reality of His presence would actually be greater than that which we are seeing with our physical eyes.
True born-again believers won’t settle for what presently exists because they see how much more is available. Jesus’s life demonstrates that there is more. And to pull us into our DESTINY, He said, “Greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.” (John 14:12)
One of the greatest threats of the generation that we live in is that we may become like our environment. Any individual or church that doesn’t wake up and WITNESS will soon become a shared commodity of what surrounds it.
Affirmation:
I was created for glory. I am commissioned to be like Him, and He is glorious!
God wants to lead us to the place where we live entirely by His Spirit, because outside of the Holy Spirit there is no life. All that is outside of God’s Spirit is dead.
“This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” - Galatians 5:16
We can control the PASSION and INTENSITY with which we live our lives. To get the fruitful life that God has purposed for us, we must go out on a limb away from the ordinary and complacent.
Philippians 3:14 - "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
Confession:
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me for the same reason He rested upon Jesus. I embrace the call to the impossible, that God may be glorified in all the earth.
"Who makes.......His servants flames of fire." - Hebrews 1:7
"He who believes in Me the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father" (John 14:12).
Are we walking with an earnest expectation of the miraculous? Are we truly expecting to see the goodness of God manifested (birthed) on earth, or are we just hoping that it will be?
Hope in God is good, but the Lord wants to turn our hope into a living, breathing expectation. GOD IS CALLING US to supernatural living and it begins with an expectation of the miraculous.
