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)

Spiritual Currency
Posted 11-11-2010 at 07:01 AM by Albert Finch
Isaiah 54:1 -- "Sing, O barren, You who have not borne! Break forht into singing, anc cry aloud, You who have not labored with child! For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married woman," says the the Lord.
You may be barren now. Some seasons that we go through are seemingly filled with desolation, but take comfort in knowing that every season has a time frame and a devine seed.
God is alerting us to raise our expectancy. Our expectance will become our spiritual currency to allow transactions with heaven.
AFFIRMATIONS
God has the power to change my current circumstances.
With the power of the Holy Spirit, my life could break wide open!
There's more available to me in the heavenlies than what I've currently apprehended.
I am a risk-taker, not an undertaker.
QUESTIONS TO ASK MYSELF:
Am I in a barren season now? Why?
What am I doing to raise my expectancy?
How am I pursuing and apprehending the power of the Holy Spirit today?
