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)

Changing Our Mindset

Posted 06-29-2021 at 03:52 AM by Albert Finch


"So Jesus said to them again, 'Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.'" - John 20:21

Possessing what belongs to us requires change. Unless we choose to progressively walk beyond our own mindsets, we remain where we're at presently in life. Regardless of our position in society, mindsets are often the greatest key to breakthroughs. If we're not moving forward, it's likely that we need to do a little homework.

"For as he thinks in his heart, so is he." - Proverbs 23:7

We may discover how we've been thinking has been hindering our own progress. We must be progressive in our understanding. We attract what we think. We must focus from God's perspective – the Kingdom elevating assignment that He is giving to us. We create the environment as co-creators with God. We take the heavenly perspective and begin to make it the standard. We gain ground as we forge ahead producing Kingdom fruit.

POSITIVE VS. NEGATIVE MINDSETS

Mindsets and focus are two things God wants to change for you. Don't focus on what you don't have or what you cannot do. Start co-creating with your Creator.

Mindsets can be positive or negative. They can be a positive or a negative stronghold. Proper mindsets, based on scripture that confirms your Christ identity, will change your thinking into being positive. He has positioned us to challenge our negative mindsets so they are converted into positive mindsets through new experiences that rewrite the old outcome.

EXPECT FAVOR AND THE MIRACULOUS

He is raising up a passionate people in 2021 who are focused on living according to the Kingdom of God. Get ready for God to move you out of the confines and limitations of what you have experienced in the past.

God is sending you. Answer His sending. Pursue the things God has been speaking to you to advance His calling on your life. It's no longer time to ponder. It's now time to possess. Your provision is in following through in your next course of action.
