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)

Come Forth

Posted 10-12-2023 at 05:42 PM by Albert Finch


"But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.” - John 11:22

Today, you may be looking at dead circumstances all around you and if that is the case, right now, rise up in faith like Martha. Speak to that hopeless and lifeless situation. Speak to the Lord in faith and say with Martha, "Lord, I believe you for an 'even now' miracle."

They took Jesus to the cave where Lazarus had been buried. Jesus instructed those standing near to roll away the stone that had sealed the tomb. He said three words that sent a surge that caused dead things to come alive: "Lazarus, come forth!" (John 11:43).

Know this, that when God calls you forth, it does not matter who has buried you, or who does not like it, or who celebrated your funeral...there is nothing that anyone can do and there is no power on Earth that can stop that supernatural surge of God's Word calling you forth!

Right NOW God is calling you forth from the circumstances that have knocked the wind out of you and left you lifeless. You are breathing but you are lifeless. Hear the Spirit of the Lord declaring to you today, "Come forth!" -- see in your spirit a sudden surge of God's power, answers to prayer, and an outpouring of His Spirit. The unfolding of His plans for your next assignment are at hand as you keep praying, keep standing, and keep contending.

This is not the time to retreat or to take a backseat. No, this is the time for Christ in you to roar!!
