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)

2. Inheritance In Christ
Read Matthew Chapter 11
Matthew 11:12 - Until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
THE PEOPLE JESUS MINISTERED TO WERE HEALED OR DELIVERED BECAUSE OF THEIR FAITH. FAITH MAY QUIETLY PRESS IN, OR IT MAY CRY OUT VERY LOUDLY, BUT IT IS ALWAYS VIOLENT IN THE SPIRIT WORLD. IT GRABS HOLD OF AN INVISIBLE REALITY AND WON'T LET GO. TAKING THE KINGDOM BY FAITH IS THE VIOLENT ACT THAT IS NECESSARY TO COME INTO WHAT GOD HAS MADE AVAILABLE.
EVERY BELIEVER HAS THE POWER OF HEAVEN BEHIND THEM. BUT IT IS OUR FAITH THAT CONNECTS WHAT IS AVAILABLE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES AT HAND. FAITH TAKES WHAT IS AVAILABLE AND MAKES IT ACTUAL.
Hebrews 4:12 - For the Word of God is living and powerful..........
For one who has faith in the Word of God, there is nothing impossible. There are no impossibilites when there is faith..........and there are no exceptions.......
Affirmations (Repeat and Meditate on These as You Go Throughout the Day):
MY FAITH IN GOD'S WORD IS NOT JUST AN ABIDING FAITH; IT IS ACTIVE - IT IS AGRESSIVE BY NATURE. IT HAS FOCUS AND PURPOSE.
MY FAITH GRABS HOLD OF THE REALITY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AND FORCEFULLY AND VIOLENTLY BRINGS IT INTO A COLLISION WITH THIS NATURAL ONE.
3. Dunamis Life
THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR
Hebrews 11:1 -- Now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen.
As a title deed enables me to lay claim to property that belongs to me, so my faith enables me to lay claim to God's promises that belong to me.
Observation
If I build my faith -- my title deed -- on God's word, it won't matter if the devil hits my body, attacks my finances, or tries to steal my peace. I can kick him off my property because my faith will be the proof of ownership I need.
Nothing can stand in my way!
I build my house of faith and move in!
