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: I choose people to associate with who who are an encouragement to me. I ignore the critics and keep on acting in accordance with my God-given vision.
We are called to an eternal sense of "destiny". What God has made us places upon us an obligation to fulfill the purpose for which we were formed. - Reinhard Bonnke
Jesus, I am resting, resting In the joy of what Thou art; I am finding out the greatness Of Thy loving heart. - Jean Sophia Pigott
"Take my yoke upon you and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." - Matthew 11:29
Imagine bringing a problem, wrapped in a "burden bundle," to the throne of Jesus. Picture Him reaching out and offering to take it. Does the picture include your being all too glad to turn it over to Him or do you imagine yourself hesitating? Remember that trust is a part of praise. - Jack Hayford
Whatever way His voice comes to you, it all bypasses the intellectual reasoning process, and is given to your spirit. (John 10:27) - Steve Sampson
Affirmation: I am a gateway for Heaven's reality to take over every part of my life, and the lives of people who I influence.
As we receive fresh divine revelation we are empowered to use that revelation as a key for breakthrough. - Sandie Freed
God did not intend the body to relate to the spiritual or supernatural world. Our five senses are all related to the natural, physical world. God never intended man to be controlled or limited by his physical body. You were not created to be intimidated by your environment. - Myles Munroe
Encourage one another and build each other up. - 1 Thessalonians 5:1
When a materialist encounters spiritual things, he has no box in which to put them. He either has to ignore them completely or explain them by natural means, like the bystanders who said God's voice was simply thunder (John 12, 28,29). - Bill Johnson
Isn't it worth the trouble to deny myself daily in order to meet God? - Andrew Murray
Affirmation: I must dig my own well. I must go deeper. I must have my own revelation from the Father of who Jesus is.
The Holy Spirit wants to use your life to manifest, prove, and confirm the reality of the unseen realm. - Keith Miller
Abraham and Moses weren't afraid to inquire. Jesus often asked people questions to get them to consider a better way of living and thinking. God loves believers who are willing to become great question askers. - Steve Munsey
"One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after; ....to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to inquire in His temple." - Psalm 27:4
The Lord is calling you to walk by faith in His Divine presence. With a simple vision of your Lord and with intense love toward Him -- like a child would have toward its mother -- cast yourself into the gentle bosom of your Lord. - Michael Molinos
Lord, as we gather in one accord waiting upon You, pour out Pentecost and revival upon us. Amen - William J. Seymour (May 1908)
