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)

Together In Christ
Posted 12-17-2021 at 12:59 AM by Albert Finch
We all need to stay in the House of the Lord. None of us lives unto ourselves alone. We must be together in battle, and continually encouraged, trained, and nurtured in the context of OUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST IN God's House. "It's me and Jesus" has never been God's plan. The Bible uses the word "TOGETHER" 484 times:
"...let us exalt His name TOGETHER."
• "Gather My saints TOGETHER unto Me..."
• "We took sweet counsel TOGETHER..."
• "Break forth into joy, sing TOGETHER..."
• "And all that believed were TOGETHER..."
• "And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled TOGETHER..."
• "For we are laborers TOGETHER with God..."
• "Wherefore, comfort yourselves TOGETHER..."
• "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves TOGETHER..."
• "[God] hath raised us up TOGETHER, and made us sit together in heavenly places..."
We learn to live together as anointed servants of God. Then we'll be sitting in heavenly places. If you're not sitting together here, you're not going to be sitting together in heavenly places over there. We are God's legislative Body, the Ecclesia Jesus spoke of in Matthew 16:18, binding and loosing together to amen God's will in Heaven on earth.
One of the primary weapons of God's end-time army is the power of the WATCH. Jesus told His disciples what to expect in our day, and He also told them what to do: "WATCH AND PRAY."
UNDERSTANDING OUR SPIRITUAL DOMINION AND AUTHORITY
He is calling each of us to corporate prayer, praise, intercession, and coming to understand and carry-out His purpose for our life. In the Watch, we get His strategies and His intelligence for the battles we wage. We pray in harmony with Heaven to exercise the SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY He has given His Church.
The Church's destiny is to overcome. Jesus promised, "I will build My Church; and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it." We may have imperfections right now, but God's promise is that as darkness gets darker, we will arise and shine with His glory. We will be equipped with the weapons of His sanctuary and be a bright and shining light TO THOSE WE WERE DESTINED TO MINISTER.
The victorious army of the King that goes forth conquering and to conquer until the kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdoms of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
UNDERSTANDING WHY PRAYER IS NECESSARY
In heaven God's power is unlimited, but on earth today the manifestation of His power is dependent on how much the church prays.
"And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found NONE." - Ezekiel 22:30
What is the prayer ministry of the church? It is God telling the church what He wishes to do, so that the church on earth will pray out its accomplishment.
In order for us to develop a character like Christ's, we must share in His work through our calling in Christ in order to bear fruit that remains for His Kingdom.
