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)

Seeking Communion - August 23, 2019

Posted 08-22-2019 at 08:42 PM by Albert Finch


John 15:9-10 "As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love..."

Deep encounters await Believers as they press in for deeper revelation of God's love and the truth that we are loved.

Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I LIVE BY THE FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD WHO LOVED ME and gave himself for me."

The seed of the Word declaring God's love is deposited in the hearts of His people as they affirm and meditate throughout the day on the "Love" scriptures.

Ephesians 2:4-5 "But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace, you have been saved."

In these encounters seeds are deposited in the hearts of His people -- the impartation of deeper revelation of Papa God's love. As this seed is embraced and bloomed in the hearts of His people, as they go out walking in His victory every day, the doors of favor open.
The atmosphere shifts as the people of God arise and move into what He is asking them to do (God's purpose for their life). The orphan spirit is broken as the Laodicean lifestyle (Revelation 3:17) is cast away -- the doors of favor are opened.

Questions to Ask Myself:


Do I believe that circumstances can be changed?

Do I believe that a culture and atmospheric shift can take place in the face of impossibility?


As the people of God rise up, signs and wonders and demonstration of God's love will manifest as the people of God take a stand.
It is time to cast our nets, the greatest harvest of souls is upon us.
