Daily Meditations And Affirmations - June 16, 2025
Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry
Isaiah 61:4 - "And they shall rebuild the old ruins. They shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations." As imitators of Christ, we know that we were created and called to serve others. Will you accept the call? God grants us favor when we are aligned with His Great Commission so that He can use us to accomplish His divine purpose on the earth. We are all called to advocate for someone. This season, God is waking up Believers at a critical time. More and more people will realize that they can no longer sit idly by and remain silent. What makes your heart burn? What makes you come alive? We were all created with a divine purpose and a reason that we were born. If you still have breath in your lungs, then you have yet to fulfill your calling in Christ. You have been chosen for such a time as this to release the Kingdom around you. Spend some time asking God to speak to you specifically about your divine mission and your destiny. Who are you called to disciple? Are you ready to step out into your destiny in this season? Will you accept your calling in Christ? Joshua 3:5 - "Then Joshua said to the people, 'Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.'" God was telling His people that the only way they were going to be able to defeat their enemies was to prepare themselves -- it was not a matter of strategizing their warfare but preparing their hearts. Rise up and get ready to take those first steps. Make ready to set foot in the deep and step into the ascended life in Christ as you decide to give up your self absorbed agendas -- confront your fears. You have been equipped, prepared, and are not alone. Keep your eyes fixed on His promise and His presence and you will discover a depth of courage on the inside of you as you forge ahead in faith. Embrace your calling in Christ with conviction and passion, knowing the God of Wonders goes before you. Even as the giants threaten and bear down, know that God has gone ahead of you with Heaven's host to perform miraculous deeds and supernatural wonders that will defy man's unbelief.

Power Study - A 118 Decreeing God's Will Read: Matthew 5, Revelation 5, Ephesians 5 Job 22:28 says "You shall also decide and decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light [of God's favor] shall shine upon your ways." "Do not be drunk with wine…but be filled with the Spirit" (Ephesians 5:18) First, understand His Word has boundless power. The key to unlocking the fulfillment of God's promises is learning to decree God's will! While it seems simple, decrees of the Lord give voice to and establish His will. These Godly decrees are like arrows of accuracy that break through every obstacle you face. By understanding the power of His word, His purpose for you, and your authority as a king and priest, you will be able to decree His will with boldness for breakthrough to your place of blessing. When you give voice to His word by decreeing His will over your life, you are unleashing the power that created the universe. John 15:16 - "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you." Second - What is your calling in Christ? Understand God's CALLING on your life. Ask, knock and seek (Matthew 7:7) until you apprehend the PURPOSE for which you were created to bear fruit that lasts for God's Kingdom. We need to realize our Christ identity, our right standing with God, and how to walk in the Spirit. His presence is a place of hunger for fresh bread from the WORD. There the Word comes alive and mysteries are revealed as the WORD becomes like fire in the bones. Within us arises a holy boldness to decree the WORD of God to shift the unseen realm and break down every barrier of the enemy with the power of the Word. Learn to decree his will and advance and occupy new lands in furtherance of the Kingdom for His glory. Matthew 5:14 says, "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden." Our purpose as this light is continued in Mathew 5:16(AMP) - "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven." The Lord wants to turn up the brilliancy of His glory in your life that, as you develop and implement vision around God's purpose for your life, there will be such good works through your personal ministry to disciple, equip, and send out others that He will be glorified. You are the light up on the hill. Third, understand your Christ identity in the Kingdom. Revelation 5:10 - "And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.” You are here to rule and reign. The battle you face is in the unseen realm. You are to have more faith in God's power than that of the enemies. Because you walk in Kingdom Authority, you can decree a thing and it will be established for you. Make your decrees with boldness, knowing that you have authority through your Christ identity. Use your Kingdom Authority in the mighty name of Jesus. Seize opportunities to disciple other Believers into their Christ identity, their right standing with God, and how to walk in the Spirit. Declare and decree His words of life as you bear fruit that remains for His Kingdom, thereby moving the Great Commission forward. Give and it will come back to you FULL MEASURE, pressed down, shaken together, and RUNNING OVER! ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY

There is such a feeling of satisfaction knowing that you are in the right place for the right purpose, in being sure you're doing what God has destined you to do. This is the life that is contented and fruitful. God has called you to redeem the time; you are to make the most of each moment (see Ephesians 5:15-17). This is a season that if you are intentional to go up the mountain and keep your gaze on Jesus, you will receive new perspective and vision -- you will birth the assignment God has been waiting to give you. You'll come down the mountain and release the mighty thunderous sound into the earth! Set your expectations high and never settle for second best, because you can do all things through your oneness with Christ who strengthens you. (Philippians 4:13) "It is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom." - Luke 12:32 True contentment abounds and joy overflows when you recognize that your life is delighting the Lord. Nothing in this world can convey such a feeling of achievement as accomplishing God's purpose for your life. Your highest purpose and most noble quest should be to live in such a manner as to bear fruit that remains for God's advancing Kingdom.

There are doctrines today that allow Christians to sit back and do nothing. They defend this cool, casual leave-it-all-to-God attitude with Bible passages. Such an outlook is entirely foreign to the spirit of the New Testament. The ultimate purpose of ministry should not be to teach people how to get things from God. The aim of the Christian life is to give and to equip fellow Christians to advance the Kingdom of God, thereby bringing forth the Great Commission. GOD OF THE BREAKTHROUGH "Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon him while He is near." - Isaiah 55:6 The first step to getting out of the box is to fellowship with the God of the breakthrough. The Holy Spirit will charge you with fresh vision and boldness. Choose today to align yourself with God. Choose today to "turn aside into the flame" of God's presence and receive fresh encouragement, fresh vision, fresh energy, and fresh oil. It's more important to operate at maximum efficiency in the Kingdom than ever before -- that is, getting up each day and asking Him to help you be aware of the Kingdom-current of activity going on around you -- and jumping into Gods PURPOSE for your life. Ask God for a revelation of your Christ calling. You carry the heart of a lion. You are made fearless in His image. You are created for an extraordinary life. Pray and soak in His plans for you. Open the door to your future. THE CRUCIAL DAYS AT HAND God is looking about the entire earth, searching for the upright in heart. To them, God will prove Himself strong and sure (2 Chronicles 16:9). The Sons of Issachar had an understanding of the time in which they lived, the season at hand, and were well aware of what the people of God should be accomplishing (1 Chronicles 12:32). WHAT IS THE TIME IN WHICH WE NOW LIVE? The Scripture declares that the entire earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of God (Habakkuk 2:14). The Kingdom of God is not advancing commensurately with the earths population growth. This is due to inadequate teaching and preaching that keeps believers stagnate in their spiritual life. This is the time to walk with true goals, aims and divine purposes, not drift about in an endless circle. Ephesians 5:14-17 -- "Wake up, sleeper, and rise from the dead! And Christ will shine on you. So pay close attention to how you live. Don't live like ignorant men, but like wise men. Make good use of every occasion you get….try to find out what the Lord wants you to do." These are days of DESTINY, filled with wonder and excitement, as the works of God are being displayed (Psalm 90:16-17). The awe of God is returning to the people of God, filling the hearts of God's people with great expectation (Isaiah 64:1). Expect to bring forth great and mighty things accomplished for the advancing of the Kingdom of God (Jeremiah 33:3). CONCECRATED WITH UNSTOPPABLE AUTHORITY The Spirit of God is anointing and empowering dedicated, consecrated Believers with unstoppable authority (Luke 10:19). These are ordinary people who do extraordinary exploits for the glory of God (Daniel 11:32b). They have embraced the promise from Christ concerning their Christ identity and what they can accomplish by His Spirit (John 14:12). As followers of Christ, we are to be bold, brave, and extremely courageous. Scripture declares in the book of Joshua 1:9, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." WE ACCOMPLISH EXPLOITS THROUGH OUR IDENTITY IN CHRIST This revelation is essential: we must embrace an understanding our identity in Christ and believe that we can accomplish exploits by His Spirit. This confidence can only come from factual, experiential union with Christ. By abiding in His manifested presence, we become bold and are able to stand firm; knowing our Christ identity.(Proverbs 28:1 and Colossians 2:9-10). God's Word declares that the fullness of the Godhead is in Christ and that we are complete in Him (Colossians 2:9-10) and, therefore have a passion to disciple, equip, and send out others to move forward the Great Commssion. Rejoice, for you can know for certain that the Kingdom is in you for such a day as this! Be confident: you are born for this day. Do not delay to move forward by faith, walking in victory and taking your place as an overcomer, embracing fully the DESTINY God has planned for you (see Ephesians 5:14-17 above). AFFIRMATION: I arise to the occasion and take my place as a victorious overcomer, standing strong and bold in God's CALLING on my life, declaring that the Kingdom of God is manifesting through my fruit bearing that remains as I disciple, equip, and send out others with an understanding of their Christ identity in obedience to Jesus (Matthew 28:19).

Daily Meditations And Affirmations - June 14, 2025
Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry
Ephesians 1:19-20 - "My prayer for you is that every moment you will experience the measureless power of God made available to you through faith. Then your lives will be an advertisement of the immense power as it works through you. This is the explosive and mighty resurrection power that was released when God raised Christ from the dead and exalted Him to the place of highest honor and supreme authority in the heavenly realm." (The Passion Translation) Paul was saying here that God wants us to experience the measureless power of the Spirit working through us when we exercise our faith and use the authority that God has given us to disciple, equip, and send out Believers to bring forth the Great Commission. God designed for us to change the way people think and experience the limitless, measureless power that He has made available to us. The same power that raised Christ from the dead is in us to perform miracles. We have the authority to call forth physical miracles, spiritual breakthroughs, restoration of marriages, prodigals returning home, and mental and emotional healing. This explosive power is available to us when we exercise our faith and use the authority God has given us. John 11:44 - "The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, 'Unbind him, and let him go.'” Lazarus had to be untangled before he was free to see, walk with, and touch Jesus again. Get free from everything that hinders your ability to hear, see, touch or walk with God. It's time to come forth in resurrection power! When we do remember and call Him, and He comes and acts, He does all the work, free of charge! Our part is only to call -- the Great Physician makes house calls and charges nothing. And yet we continually fail to call Him. Is this reasonable? You are a part of a people God has produced to penetrate the veil of the ordinary. You are a golden, holy storehouse of God's potential. You have the life in you to liberate literally the entire world. "..forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 3:14 ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY Statement of Faith https://www.nf127.org/statement-of-faith Ministry Phone: 281-396-4379 -
A challenge today is to ask yourself this: Do you just add to the noise within life's circumstances, or do you speak life to the dry bones, the dead dreams, the impossible situations? John 11:11 is for NOW: "…Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up." Determine to be one of those who believe. 2025 needs your faith for resurrection power. 2025 needs your faith for the prophetic, Lazarus-style solutions and miracles. This is a season where you will see what looked dead resurrect before your eyes. God has "manna" stored up to bless and provide for you as you do what He's called you to do this year. This "manna" is supernatural provision that will often come from unusual sources, unexpected places, and in creative ways. Be about the Father's business in your daily business, and a feast of blessing will await you as the Isaiah 22:22 doors open to you (doors ONLY God can open). Expect God's glory to intensify and open up supernatural atmospheres and gateways to glory realms of revelation—especially new realms of creativity and solutions never dreamed of before as your passion substantiates your dedication to bring forth the Great Commission. You're still standing, and this is victory! This is the season you've been prepared for and anointed for. Be blessed -- God loves you and His breath is reviving you.

"My Beloved spake, and said unto me, 'Rise up, My love, My fair one, and come away.'" Song of Solomon 2:10 The Lord has something far better to offer us if we will respond to His call to "rise up" with Him into a higher realm of spiritual reality. To this pressing call, He adds a word of encouragement: "For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land." - Song of Solomon 2:11-12 We are living in the time of the birthing of a new day. Herein is the cause of our wondering. What is happening as we feel the birth pains of this new day? All that Jesus did in a single body during His first coming, He will again do through a corporate Body. Presently, he is preparing us for the destinies that He has individually prepared for us. A NEW REALM OF SPRITUAL LIFE Winter speaks of a time of barrenness in our spiritual experience. It is a period of time during which the Lord is (seemingly) absent from us, and in which there is little or no moving or quickening of His presence within us, or in our ministry. The "winter being past" speaks of a present occasion for us to be birthed into a new realm of spiritual life and experience revelation of how to more effectively advance His Kingdom in the earth. The "flowers appearing" speaks of our spiritual growth with the resultant fruit-bearing that remains for the Kingdom. Our repentant response to the withdrawal of His presence from us has produced a spiritual breakthrough within us – the initiative for our life and ministry has passed to Him. We are abiding in Him and He in us. Our lives and ministry to equip others in their Christ Identity are producing results that were never before seen, as we are being lifted into the spirit realm. The "singing of birds" speaks of worship that flows up to the Lord from deep within us. The "voice of the turtle" speaks of our becoming "prophetic" and speaking forth His Word with substance and power releasing the manifest presence and glory of the Lord. INVITING THE LORD TO COME WITHIN This experience will not come through an intellectual comprehension or understanding of His Word alone. It requires the anointed impartation of His life to us, as we fellowship (sup) with Him. "I will come to him, and will sup with him and he with me." - Revelation 3:20 He is presently without, looking through the window of our spiritual experience, waiting for us. We must quickly respond to His call to "Rise up, My love, My fair one, and come away." It is essential that we invite the Lord to come within, and give Him full control over our lives as he reveals His purpose for our life. Nothing that we could obtain, while remaining in a lesser realm, could compare with this. "Come, My beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages. Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee My loves." - Song of Solomon 7:11-12 You see Him in all circumstances. You have begun to explore the immense freedom of God Himself. You go forth to win many others to Him and disciple them into their Christ Identity. You are full of Godly purposeful vision and activity as you move forward in your Christ calling. . Everything you do is toward Him. He is your beginning and your end.

"And also, I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." (Matthew 16:18) As your heart rises up in assured, simple, and steady faith, so too will you defeat the giants of your land and possess not only the gates, but the land and all it leads to for His glory. The enemy uses fear as a false or manufactured pressure to take ground from you. In a similar and even more powerful sense, your faith puts pressure on the enemy and causes him to fear the Kingdom you are bringing from Heaven to reality. If you are feeling pressure in your purpose with God, it is very likely because your forward steps of faith are putting unbelievable pressure on the enemy and it is only a matter of time before you not only break through that gate but through discipling, equipping, and sending out, open the door for many others to follow and build in that territory or sphere of influence. Your number one gift is an exponent in the lives He has given to you to disciple, and likewise their number one gift (their understanding of their Christ identity) will be exactly what you need to fulfill other pieces of your dream you've longed to see come about, the moving forth of the Great Commission.

The main idea for breakthrough comes from the breakthrough of water from 2 Samuel 5:20: "So David went to Baal Perazim (which means "possessor of the breaches"), and David defeated them there; and he said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before me, like a breakthrough of water." The word breakthrough comes from the Hebrew word "perets" which means "To break out." In the areas that we are believing God for breakthrough in, we should also believe Him to break out from the very center of the situation. Zephaniah 3:17 declares "the Lord thy God in the midst of you is mighty." In this verse the word midst means: the nearest part, that is, the center -- the word mighty means: a powerful, warrior champion. The Lord wants to come as a powerful, warrior champion to show Himself strong in the midst of all hindrances, obstacles and blockades that the enemy has erected to stop the flow of your bearing fruit that remains for God's Kingdom. Whether it's breakthrough in physical healing, financial provision, relationship issues, ministry or any number of areas, God's desire is to bring manifested breakthrough. ⦁ THE MANIFESTED POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT: The Holy Spirit, the most powerful force in the universe, is very active on Planet Earth today with His objective to displace the kingodm of darkness with God's ever-advancing Kingdom. The declaration of Romans 8:11 is this: "But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you." We need to believe God and ask Him for the release of Holy Spirit power – the power of the resurrection in our lives so we can bring forth the Great Commission. Scripture also says that, as we come to understand our Christ identity, the anointing BREAKS the yoke. Many Believers these days are walking around with heavy yolks of everything from religious expectations to orphaned thinking and condemnation. God's desire is to manifest BREAKTHROUGH to obliterate yolks by the anointing (Isaiah 10:27). ⦁ JESUS CALMING THE SEA: There are times that the manifestation of breakthrough is going to come in the release of great peace into a situation. In Mark 4, Jesus stood in the midst of a storm that the disciples thought was life threatening. In the midst of that storm He declared, "Peace, be still" (verse 39). It's interesting that the response of the storm was not to just ease up a bit, but the Bible says, "the wind ceased, and there was a great calm." God wants to bring great calm into the many storms of life that we face. Even if the circumstances of that storm do not change immediately, we can still receive "a great calm" deep inside our hearts. ⦁ NEW BEGINNINGS Isaiah 43:19 - Nothing compares to what I'm going to do with you says the Lord! Behold, I am going to do a brand new thing with you personally. See, I've already begun to do it. Don't you see it? In the land of New Beginnings, we must remove the masks and veils that a life absorbed in self has formed in the past season so we can now discern our new vision concerning our Christ calling. Isaiah 41:15 ("Behold, I will make you to be a new, sharp, threshing instrument which has teeth; you shall thresh the mountains and beat them small, and shall make the hills like chaff") has become a key word for us. There is a new understanding for us in the invisible world. This will allow us to display the wisdom of God to the powers and principalities that have blocked you in past seasons. Jesus says: 'You shall see the Heaven OPENED, and a way between Heaven and earth, between God and man, made clear. I am that way. I will open Heaven by My own blood.' "Then He added, 'In truth, in very truth I tell you all, you shall see heaven wide open…..'" - John 1:51 Your time in communion with the Lord will raise you to that "Come up here, let me show you something you didn't know before" place for substantial breakthrough. "I saw a door open in heaven and heard the same voice speaking to me, the voice like a trumpet, saying 'Come up here: I will show you what is to come in the future.'" - Revelation 4:1 PRAYER: Lord, I ask you now to pour out the Spirit of the Overcomer. I lift up my head and receive the King of Glory to breakthrough so that I can breakout. Lord, stir me out of the wilderness and grip me with a holy violence and jealousy to lay hold of my Christ calling and DESTINY in Christ. I am available to do great exploits in moving your Great Commission forward in Your Name! - Amen ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY Statement of Faith https://www.nf127.org/statement-of-faith Ministry Phone: 281-396-4379

Daily Meditations And Affirmations - June 9, 2025

Isaiah 60:1–2: "Rise up in splendor and be radiant, for your light has dawned, and Yahweh's glory now streams from you! Look carefully! Darkness blankets the earth, and thick gloom covers the nations, but Yahweh arises upon you and the brightness of His glory appears over you!" (Isaiah 60:1–2 TPT) It's time for the Church to rise up and be radiant! Since we've crossed the threshold into the year of 2025, we have not merely stepped into a new era—a new season in the Spirit. The Lord is calling you to rise up and be radiant because His glory is rising upon His people. You were created to live each and every day with a vibrant awareness of God's divine presence and a passion to bring forth the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19) -- Christ in you, the hope of glory! "Living within you is the Christ who floods you with the expectation of glory! This mystery of Christ, embedded within us, becomes a heavenly treasure chest of hope filled with the riches of glory for His people, and God wants everyone to know it!" (Colossians 1:27 TPT) Are you currently living a lifestyle that radiantly reflects the glory of God? Each one of us has a God-given calling to walk as an ambassador of Christ in our generation. As an integral part of the harvest, we must lead lives full of the Spirit, marked by both power and passion to disciple, equip, and send out others to bring forth the Great Commission. Lives of radical, Spirit-inspired holiness and purpose are necessary to change the way people think. ALBERT FINCH MINISTRY Statement of Faith https://www.nf127.org/statement-of-faith Ministry Phone: 281-396-4379 -
We have been created to carry the glory of God. Hebrews 2 says that through Christ's suffering, He brought many sons to glory. We are the house of God, and He wants to dwell in His house. It was always God's intention to dwell with mankind. It's time we get hungry for a revelation of His glory in our Christ calling. We are created in and for the realm of shekinah glory. We are postured to behold the glory of God, the image of the invisible God (see Colossians 1:15). The more we dwell in His glory, the greater the revelation of His nature in our lives. It's through restored intimacy that we discover our truest nature in Him. The Shekinah glory that we have access to through the Blood covenant of Jesus empowers us to live the life of an overcomer -- walking in and bearing fruit that remains by discipling, equipping, and sending out others to move His Kingdom forward -- in the abiding presence of Holy Spirit with the endorsement of Heaven following -- to establish the Great Commission thereby discplacing the kingdom of darlkess in the earth. As we move from glory to glory in our Christ calling, the reign and rule of Christ is evidenced.

And He said to them all, "If any man will [willingly choose to] come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me." Luke 9:23 Each of us who desires to personally know and serve the Lord must first make this life-changing decision to "take up our cross." When we willingly do this, our present relationship to the Lord, and also our eternal position in the ages to come, will be greatly affected. If we accept this challenge ("If anyone will come after Me"), the taking up of our cross is the ultimate sacrifice in our lives that has us abandoning other interests in favor of advancing His Kingdom , bearing fruit that remains through our Christ calling. Come, My beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages. Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee My loves. Song of Solomon 7:11-12 Once we have received this "gift" of eternal life through the Blood of Jesus and the regeneration of the Holy Spirit, we will begin to face choices that affect our rate of spiritual growth, as well as our position in the eternal ages before us. OUR CHRIST IDENTITY Once we have received this "gift" of eternal life through the Blood of Jesus and the regeneration of the Holy Spirit, it is imperative that we come to understand our Christ identity. In Colossians 2:9 we discover this central fact concerning Christ Jesus: "For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." Our outlook on life is changed as we comtemplate: "And you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power." (Colossians 2:10) "You are complete," which means we lack nothing at all, as we abide in Him. Abiding in the love of Christ and allowing His love to flow freely out of us enables us to function with the greatest degree of success, thus discovering our passion to disciple others into a higher understanding of Jesus and their Christ identity. Matthew 7:8 -- "For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on on knocking, the door will be opened." AMP We are to ask, knock, and seek until we come to understand and begin carrying out God’s purpose for our life. We are called to succeed in advancing the Kingdom of God on earth, bearing fruit that remains that equips and sends out others to bring forth the Great Commission, -- to walk in overcoming victory: "…because as He is, so are we in this world" (1 John 4:17) Romans 6:11,13,14 - "Think of yourselves as dead to sin but alive to God in union with Christ Jesus. Nor must you surrender any part of yourselves to sin, to be used for wicked purposes. Instead, give yourselves to God, as men who have been brought from death to life, and surrender your whole being to Him to be used for righteous purposes….you do not live under law but under God's grace." EMPTYING OURSELVES The yielded life is essential for us to walk in the fullness of our Christ calling -- as we empty ourselves of the things we hold on to, allowing Him to have His perfect work within us. "To him who is overcoming, I will give him to eat from the hidden manna, and I will give to him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving [it]." - Revelation 2:17 Young's Literal Translation The promise of the Lord is "to him that overcomes." As we overcome our "self-life" through living in a Kingdom consciousness as opposed to a world consciousness, and willing obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit -- He will bring into our life experience the "good land," -- as we are prepared to bear fruit that remains for the harvest.

Psalm 73:25 - "Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you." Because God alone is God, and the only one who is truly adorable, He has the right to claim us wholly for Himself. Without an appropriate surrender our part, He cannot manifest His power. As fully as God gives Himself to us, so fully does He desire that we give ourselves to Him. Ask Him for an understanding of His purpose for your life -- entirely committed to God to advance His everlasting Kingdom in the earth and bring forth the Great Commission! How wonderful the grace that calls us to it! How blessed the separation from men, the self-pleasing agendas, and all that might draw us away from God. Totally dedicated to God and dead to the world and all that it offers! How sweet the discovery and of all that it means, and all that God gives us with it! Ecclesiastes 6:12 - "For who knows what is good for a man during his lifetime, during the few years of his futile life? He will spend them like a shadow. For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?" It is better to have never been born than to live and not fulfill the purpose for which you were given life. This truth is echoed in this scripture. In essence, when you become aware of the calling of God in Christ that resides within you, you are obligated to release that wealth to the world around you. What lies behind you is history and what lies before you is the future, but these are both tiny matters compared to what lies within you. Are you living a stillbirth life? Are you aborting your entire purpose for living? Move beyond the familiar patterns and experiences of your life to the dreams and plans, and imaginations that wait within you to fulfill eternity.

John 15:5 - "I am the vine; you are the branches……apart from Me you can do nothing." You were born to consult God to find out His PURPOSE for your life so that you can discover your vision for advancing His Kingdom. Revelation 1:8 - "I am the Alpha and the Omega." God is not only the Author of your vision, but also your continuing Support as you progress toward its fulfillment. When you have been pressed, criticized, and opposed, you can become weak in faith. You shrug these things off because you have built yourself up in understanding the scriptures that have to do with your Christ identity. You don't try to explain and give an answer for everything because you can't explain anything to critics. Their motives are already contaminated, and they'll use your words against you. Through building yourself up in the scriptures that have to do with your Christ identity, God encourages you to get back out in the fight of faith. 1 Timothy 6:12 - "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses."

Scripture Of The Day - Being Willing To Be Interrupted
Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry
Genesis 18:1,2 - "One day Abraham was sitting at the entrance to his tent during the hottest part of the day. 2 He looked up and noticed three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he ran to meet them and welcomed them, bowing low to the ground." In Genesis 18 Abraham was sitting in front of his tent during the heat of the day. All of a sudden he looked up and saw three men standing in front of him. What Abraham did next catalyzed the destiny for himself and Sarah: He stood up and he ran to meet them. The arrival of these men wasn't convenient and it wasn't expected. At first, he didn't even realize that it was the Lord! Abraham INTERRUPTED what he was doing in order to host the men. His being willing to INTERRUPT his plans resulted in the fulfillment of God's promise for the son that they had been waiting on for more than 20 years (Genesis 18:10)! Those who are prepared to INTERRUPT and adjust their own plans and schedules as God intervenes will see new doors for personal breakthrough and Kingdom advancement open.
