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)

Posted 11-25-2023 at 09:09 AM by Albert Finch


There is no breakthrough without a life of sacrifice. God breaks through when you give your time and the other things that you have in the context of advancing His Kingdom.

A new song is going to erupt from you. Just as a rooster crows to announce the morning, your spirit is going to bubble forth the new day, song, and anthem. Just as fire comes and clears the debris, God has used the fire that the enemy sent against you to clear the very debris he put as a snare around you.

Soon the smoke is going to clear. You'll be able to see what you couldn't see before. Soon you'll see the path forward and the future that was veiled from you. The trial by fire is coming to an end, and soon you'll see how God uses it for your advantage. Your grief and sorrow are going to begin to lift from you like an old, tattered robe you no longer need. Give it to Jesus, right now. Let Him take it.

May every cracked and fractured place of your soul, heart, and mind be restored. The oil of Heaven is flowing over your head and pulling you out of the place you have become used to. The fire of Heaven is falling upon every bondage and demonic activity now as you read this. Every demon afflicting torment, you bind up, in Jesus' name!

Now be filled and baptized with the Holy Ghost and fire, in Jesus' name!
