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)

Living In The Glory Of God

Posted 05-14-2021 at 10:43 PM by Albert Finch


"It shall be, in regard to their inheritance, that I am their inheritance. You shall give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession." - Ezekiel 44:28

Our inheritance is the Lord Himself. The Lord is desperately hungry for us to possess Him. Did you know the Lord wants you to possess Him? -- that you would be so filled with the divine nature, come into such a holy union with Him. that it's as if Jesus has clothed Himself with your flesh.

The Lord wants to fill us with a holy desperation and a holy violence to lay hold of Him. It's a hunger that will drive us into holy romance with the Lord -- to enthrone Him in every area of our lives -- it's a fresh hunger to come into such intimacy with Jesus that we die to ourselves and come into holy union with Him in every way.

"Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him." - John 6:27

God is desperately hungry for us to possess the promised land and lay hold of our DESTINY in Christ. We are to live in the very Glory of God. However, we must daily overcome the spirit of the world and press behind the veil that is already torn that we might eat of the Bread of Heaven and look upon the blueprints of heaven.

"For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world....I am the bread of life. he who comes to Me shall never hunger and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." - John 6:33,35

THE BODY OF CHRIST IS LIVING IN PSALM 23 AND PSALM 24

Psalm 23 is all about the Priestly anointing/lifestyle and Psalm 24 is all about the Kingly anointing and taking the land by letting the King of Glory come in.

The priest must find the underground flow of God's presence and power even in the midst of the desert. -- die to self and learn to feast at God's table in the presence of their enemies. God is looking for those who have learned to feed upon Him even in the wilderness and have now become a drink for others to drink from. In Psalm 23 even n the valley of the shadow of death we are feasting at God's table and we are in the place where oil is being continuously poured out upon our heads.

As we enter into Psalm 24 -- it's time to lift up our heads to the Lord and let the King of Glory come in and wage war through us.

WARRIOR MINDSET REPLACING THE GRASSHOPPER MENTALITY


"The people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits." - Daniel 11:32b

Many feel that their life is a waste and doesn't count for anything. Hope deferred has made their hearts sick because they have not sought God's purpose for their life (Matthew 7:7). They have no sense of DESTINY. But those who have been looking upon Him and seeking to advance His Kingdom become radiant and the shame of their lives is washed away because they are tasting that the Lord is good. They are shedding that grasshopper mentality and God is pouring the oil of an overcomer over their lives.

PRAYER:
I lift up my head to You, Lord, and ask that the King of Glory would come in and breakthrough so that I can break out. Lord, stir me out of the wilderness and grip me with a holy violence and jealousy to lay hold of my inheritance and DESTINY in Christ. May I be strong and do great exploits in Your Name! - Amen
