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)

August 25, 2023 – Exhortation

Posted 08-25-2023 at 05:10 PM by Albert Finch


A challenge for you this season is to ask yourself this: Do you just add to the noise within life's circumstances, or do you speak life to the dry bones, the dead dreams, the impossible situations?

John 11:11 is for NOW: "…Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up."

Determine to be one of those who believe. 2023 needs your faith for resurrection power. 2023 needs your faith for the prophetic, Lazarus-style solutions and miracles. This is a season where you will see what looked dead resurrect before your eyes.

God has "manna" stored up to bless and provide for you as you do what He's called you to do as you bear fruit that remains for His Kingdom (John 15:16). This "manna" is supernatural provision that will often come from unusual sources, unexpected places, and in creative ways. Be about the Father's business in your daily business, and a feast of blessing will await you as the Isaiah 22:22 doors open to you (doors ONLY God can open).

Expect God's glory to intensify and open up supernatural atmospheres and gateways to disciple others (2 Timothy 2:2) into their Christ identity so they can be effective in equipping others for Christian service.

You're still standing, and this is victory! This is the season you've been prepared for and anointed for. Be blessed -- God is preparing you for great things and His breath is reviving you.
