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)

RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD - 4 (of 8)
Posted 02-03-2024 at 02:44 PM by Albert Finch
Why was Jesus manifested in the earth?
Answer: To create a new covenant that would allow and encourage Believers to establish God’s Kingdom throughout the earth by destroying the works of the devil. Destroying the works of the devil would include anything that would impede the advancing of God’s Kingdom.
"For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. All who are not deaf to the truth listen to My voice." - John 18:37
"The one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil." - 1 John 3:8
"He was given over to die because of our sins, and was raised to life to put us right with God." - Romans 4:25
".....He has been manifested to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself." - Hebrews 9:26
Has the cross of Calvary delivered me from the guilt of sin?
Answer: God made Jesus sin. Sin was not only reckoned to Him, but His spirit actually became sin. Jesus came as us to be our substitute in His sacrifice.
"God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God." - 2 Corinthians 5:19,21
"Because by one sacrifice He has made perfect forever those who are being made holy." - Hebrews 10:14
"If we walk in the light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin." - 1 John 1:7
How are Satan and his works put under our feet as the body of Christ?
Answer: Through “binding and loosing” anything that does not match up with Heaven, the believer exercises their God given dominion and takes authority over satan and his works.
"And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death." - Revelation 12:11
"When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him." - Colossians 2:15
“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” – Matthew 16:19
Am I allowing the Holy Spirit to build a righteousness consciousness through meditation and affirmation of the word concerning my right standing with God?
"By this we know we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit." - 1 John 4:13
"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in me. - John 15:4
How will a righteousness consciousness affect my prayer life?
Answer: We pray from the position of our God-given authority and that all our sins have been forgiven (past, present, and future) so there is nothing hindering us from advancing God’s Kingdom NOW.
"Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him. Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you." - Mark: 11:23,24
"Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it." - John 14;13;14
INTO ACTION:
Write Out, Affirm and meditate on the indicated scriptures 4 times daily until the renewing of your mind is made real to your spirit.
AFFIRMATIONS:
I know my prayers are heard by God because I believe in Christ Jesus His Son who gives me eternal life. (1 John 5:13)
I receive through faith because when I ask in prayer I believe that I have received what I have asked for. (Mark 11:24)
I transform my mind through affirming, meditating, and visualizing God's word. (Romans 12:2 & John 8:31,32)
