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 02-01-2024 at 11:41 PM by Albert Finch


We want thoughts that are inspired by the Holy Spirit because we are abiding in His Presence. As we are one with Jesus, we embrace His love flowing into our heart as we go throughout the day -- our REPENTANCE, MEDITATION, AND DEVOTIONAL with God -- by His Word and truth -- then has authority over our lives. Our time is valuable, and we want to use that time as an occasion to increase our spiritual momentum to dive deeper into the heart and PURPOSE of God for our life so we can be effective in bearing fruit that remains for His advancing Kingdom.

Knowing OUR CHRIST IDENTITY will strengthen the inner man and demolish satan's strongholds.

"For the weapons of our warfare are not worldly but have divine power to destroy strongholds." - 2 Corinthians 10:4

True Christianity sparks a flame in the human spirit. It ignites the heart with holy fervency for Jesus and a hunger to advance His Kingdom in the earth.
