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)

Read The Epistle of Titus
Main Themes:
Paul wrote this epistle about A.D. 63 to his missionary associate Titus, whom he had sent to work with the church on the island of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea. The residents of Crete were know for their depraved behavior. But Paul had confidence that Titus could handle the situation. In the second letter to the Corinthians, the apostle described Titus as a reliable, hardworking, and dependable leader.
In his letter to Titus, Paul instructed Titus to appoint leaders for the Cretan church, to discipline those who were teaching false doctrine, and to lead the believers to practice godly behavior. Nevertheless this epistle does not teach salvation by works.
Affirmation: (Repeat and Meditate on This as You Go Throughout the Day)
God poured out His Holy Spirit abundantly on me through Jesus Christ my Savior, so that by His grace I might be put right with God and come into posession of the eternal life I hope for. (Titus 3:6,7)

1 Corinthians 2:16 -- "For who has know or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ, the Messiah, and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart." (AMP)
First Corinthians 6:17 says that when you were joined to the Lord you became one spirit with Him. He came into union with you so that He can talk to your heart to heart -- His thoughs become your actions.
He wants you to walk so closely with Him that you never lack power to overcome the evil of this world, and feel His heart of compassion toward those that are hurting or afflicted with sickness and pain. He wants to be one with you, so He can reach out through your hands and fulfill His purposes in the earth.
Affirmations

I determine to yield to His voice and not the voices of the world or the flesh (senses)!
