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)

February 8, 2024 - Exhortation
Posted 02-08-2024 at 01:29 AM by Albert Finch
The Spirit of God provokes our conscience into remembrance of what He has told us to do. He stirs our spirits through conviction by His logos or rhema word bringing us to realize there is something deep inside of us that knows we are called to greatness.
There is a drying up of our satisfaction in lesser things; a determination to move out of distractions; an effectual grace to step out from under the weight and rise above in overcoming power.
The writer of the book of Hebrews exhorts us in chapter 12 to raise our sights higher, and to recognize the importance of responding to holy provocation.
There is no time for spiritual inactivity! You were created for such a time as this, and God equips you in everything that's necessary to carry out His purpose for your life (Hebrews 13:21). Holy Spirit is stirring us to action so that we will provoke each other to the love of Jesus and finding their calling in Christ -- praying without ceasing.
Holy provocation is moving us -- the Spirit of God is exposing that restlessness and discontent so we will cry out to Him, because we were made for more. We were made to bear fruit that remains for the high calling of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:12-14)
