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)

Affirmation: Through prayer I know His presence continually. I am called to be His dwelling place.
The central message of Christianity is: "What are you waiting for? Believe now in the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ.Everything is finished. He has already taken care of your sins! This is the very essence of the crucifixion and the resurrection. - Ros Rinker
God, Himself, has given you a generous measure of faith. He has deposited within you the precious amount, degree, size, and portion necessary to fulfill your calling with great success. - Dennis Cramer
Give yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life, and surrender your whole being to Him to be used for righteous purposes. - Romans 6:13
You, beloved, live and operate in the supernatural realm! The Lord Jesus is with you 100 %! You are a successful person! -- Joseph Prince
Shake the dust from your past, and move forward in His promises -- Kay Arthur
Affirmation: I was created for glory. I am commissioned to be like Him, and He is glorious!
Never tell a person something can't be done, because God may have been waiting for centuries for someone ignorant enough to believe that the impossible could be possible. - Myles Munroe
Good feelings will not free us. Ecstatic experiences will not free us. Getting "high on Jesus" will not free us. Without a knowledge of the truth, we will not be free. - Richard Foster
"You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."- John 8:32
Information overload can become a huge barrier to your God-given dreams, leaving little time for intimacy and communication with the One who seeks to bring those seeds inside you to greatness. - Steve Munsey
Am I spending time in His presence? Everything depends on this. -- Andrew Murray
Affirmation: I present my body as a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is my reasonable service.
The Holy Spirit is given to make us witnesses, and His own work is to highlight the work of Christ and actuate it in human lives. If we want to move in the Spirit, we need to get into that kind of activity because that is what He is doing. - Reinhard Bonnke
"But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses .... to the end of the earth." - Acts 1:8
Those who intentionally ignore elements of Scripture that are outside of their experience and teach others to do the same rarely have the profound encounters with God and the corresponding miracles taking place in their lives. - Bill Johnson
Deeper prayer: A simple vision of God, seeing Him and loving Him (and very gently rejecting all the images which come into your mind). Everything within you is collected, centered and fixed wholly on Him. - Michael Molinos
The more we receive in silent prayer, the more we can give in active life. -- Malcolm Muggeridge
