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 - August 1, 2018
Posted 08-01-2018 at 07:35 PM by Albert Finch
"Your dead will live; their corpses will rise. You who lie in the dust, awaken and shout for joy, for your dew is as the dew of the dawn, and the earth will give birth to the departed spirits." - Isaiah 26:19
Let's awaken out of sleep, out of prisons, out of old mindsets, and out of old wineskins. Awaken into a new creative code. Awaken into the greater works. Awaken into the reality of being a new creation. Awaken chosen generation, mind, soul and spirit into our calling in Christ. Awaken!
Man, made in the image of God has a purpose - man neglects his purpose in Christ and thus he forgets who he is and what life means.
As the Lord responds to the hunger of His people, He is revealing the Person of Jesus in the inward parts of our spirit. What we've understood with our "head knowledge," we will begin to experience through spiritual revelation. And as the eyes of our heart become enlightened, our character and lifestyle will be transformed (see Ephesians 1:17-18). Integrity and honesty will become paramount.
We will live each day pursuing God's PURPOSE for our life. (see Colossians 1:9-10).
This is not a time for Believers in the Body of Christ to be humdrum, expecting only what we have seen and experienced before. We have never been where we are going now (see Joshua 3:4,5). We all must prepare for what is ahead: The call to embrace the awe of Almighty God.
We shut the door on all the distractions of this life, the cares of this world, the busyness of our daily affairs and anything else that would keep us from pressing into God.
"His power at work in us who believe. This power in us is the same as the mighty strength which He used when He raised Christ from death...." - Ephesians 1:20
You have resurrection power attached to your prayer life! You can look to things that are absolutely dead and pray forth eternal LIFE! The same power in us is the same potency God demonstrated when He raised Jesus out of the grave.
Ask the Holy Spirit to make you increasingly aware of any negative things you say to yourself - turn those hurtful thoughts into positive affirmations.
The healthier and stronger a believer's spiritual life is, the less he joins the crowd (Jeremiah 15:17).
Worship is the spiritual equivalent of the power of magnification. When you begin to worship, you ascend to join the Object of your adoration. If you are soaring in His presence, then you are looking down on your problems.
"Oh, magnify the Lord with me." - Psalm 34:3
The Word again desires to become flesh and live among us, doing the same works through us that He did while on the earth in human form.
"I tell you the truth: whoever believes in me will do the works I do -- yes, he will do even greater ones, because I am going to the Father." - John 14:!"
Expectation pulls virtue out of God because one of the foremost keys in hearing from God is living with expectation toward Him. Expectation places a demand on the Holy Spirit. He is willing to commune and speak to us every moment of our lives and He is as close as our own breath.
Affirmations:
I confess that the Holy Spirit is my partner! With Him as my helper I am getting better and better in prayer every day!
I confess that I am following the voice of Jesus.
I have been given spiritual power, spiritual weapons, and the wonderful word of God. I maintain the attitude that never gives in, never gives up, and never surrenders to defeat.
