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)

Tarrying In His Spirit

Posted 12-11-2021 at 10:10 PM by Albert Finch


God is calling us into a new season. He is calling us into a new day. He is asking us to begin to understand the power we carry in Jesus' name. We need to understand the power of His Spirit that longs to pour through us. As we tarry in His Spirit, we carry it out to a broken world. We don't look to the anointed and the appointed but look to the Author and the Finisher of your faith.

He has called us. He has appointed us. HE has anointed us.

GOD'S FIRE COMES FROM BEING IN HIS PRESENCE


He will send you. Man will not send you. God does not send us out brokenhearted and discouraged and weak, but instead He sends us out fresh with fire from on high. His fire comes from being in His presence. Many vessels carry His fire; it is because they have been in the fire.

We have been in His fires. We have had personal fires of testing and trials, but understand that we come under the kindness of a loving Savior and know all things truly do work out together for the good:

He is calling us into His presence.

He has called us to come to understand and implement His purpose for our life. (Ephesians 4:1, Hebrews 12:1)

He has called us to bear fruit for His Kingdom. (John 15:16)

He has called us to disciple the newborn in Christ into their Christ identity. (2 Timothy 2:2)



We expect faith upon faith to rise up! We expect advancement from strength-to-strength! We expect to go from glory-to-glory as God opens impossible doors for the advancement of His kingdom and His glory.

We have resurrection power attached to our prayer life! We 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.

"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 form death...." - Ephesians 1:20



BURNING WITH THE GLORY


Christ pours the unlimited oil of the anointing in us so that we can shine and burn continually and perpetually with the glory and love of the Lord to the world. There is no limitation for the workings of Jesus through us because He's constantly pouring His workings in us to advance His Kingdom in the earth.

Ephesians 3:20, 21: "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen!"

As we believe that the Lord will release to us a revelation of the unlimited realm of the great ministry and fullness of the Holy Spirit in and through our calling in Christ, we ask the Holy Spirit to open our spiritual eyes and ears to see the invisible and to hear what He is saying us in this season that will advance us in His purpose for our life. We ask Him to open up the depths of the Word to reveal the secret things of the kingdom so that we can walk in a greater dimension of victory and the fulfillment of our destiny in Christ.
