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)

Jesus -- Th Radiant Light Of God's Glory

Posted 07-12-2023 at 09:29 AM by Albert Finch


"To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory..." (Colossians 1:27).

The engine of the Gospel message is His presence and glory. It is not a tantalizing self-induced experience that produces no fruit, but rather an illuminating light which leads the world to Jesus and becomes the pillar of fire that leads His Church in the revelation of His calling on their life and spiritual advancement.

Some want to privatize His glory and keep it shrouded in personal experience, assuming the world will simply "catch on".

But Jesus says"

"You are the Light of the World" - (Matthew 5:14).

Our job description now is to reveal the Light of eternity in a dark world void of it by understanding God’s purpose for our life and begin bearing fruit that remains for His Kingdom.

Believe with the highest expectations in the flow of the love of Jesus into your heart so you can bless and disciple others into their Christ identity – thereby, living the crucified lifestyle inside the Word.

In Luke 10:2, harvest is literally mentioned three times, "Then He said to them, 'The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." The word "laborer" can be interpreted in the ancient text as "toiler or teacher."

Affirmations:


I ASK, KNOCK, AND SEEK UNTIL I UNDERSTAND GOD’S PURPOSE FOR MY LIFE SO I CAN BEGIN BEARING FRUIT FOR HIS KINGDOM.

I AM LIGHT TO THE WORLD AND AM HERE TO TRANSFIGURE AND TRANSFORM IT.

I AM A CITY SET UPON A HILL THAT CANNOT BE HIDDEN.

I AM THE TRANSFIGURING LIGHT OF HIS PRESENCE AND AM THE ONLY HOPE OF THE WORLD TO SEE IT.
