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 quit fishing in the same waters I've been fishing in for so long. I go to new territories and get ready to catch more fish than I ever dreamed possible!
Something very sophisticated, evil, powerful and unrelenting is conspiring to get you to accept a deadly substitute for your destiny. - Mario Murillo
No person who has Jesus as the inward power of his body needs to tremble when Satan comes around. All he or she has to do is to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. - Smith Wigglesworth
God does not enter into a personal covenant with us without our consent or cooperation. You entered into a covenant with God when you became a Christian. His purpose for making covenant is to bless us. It is to move us into the destiny (here on earth and eternally) that He has for us. -- Chuck Pierce
"I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread he will live for ever." - John 6:51
In the Holy Place the Table of Shewbread was a symbol of thanksgiving for His divine provision. After serving its purpose in the Holy Place it was consumed by the priests. We must consume every revelation of the Lord to be molded into His image and bear His attributes. - Paul Keith Davis
Affirmation: I ask the Lord to propel me into the next level of My growth and destiny. I am determined that I will cooperate with Him.
Lord, I went wandering like a stray sheep, seeking you with anxious reasoning. I wearied myself much in looking for you without. Yet you had your habitation within me. - St. Augustine
Have you ever experienced a desperate love for God? - Shawn Bolz
Jesus prayed, "I glorified you, Father, on earth by completing down to the last detail what you assigned me to do."- John 17:4
If hell has a characteristic, it is that of distraction. If heaven has a particular characteristic, it is the presence of God, the calm of God, the power of God, the love of God. - John Lake.
Not understanding is OK. Restricting our spiritual life to what we understand is not. - Bill Johnson
Affirmation: My true heart's desire is what attracts Him. Now He will show me how to follow Him in Spirit.
Are you hungry? Do you want to be a sign, a wonder, and a miracle for the glory of the Lord and for a harvest of souls such as the world has never before seen? - Keith Miller
God who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion. - Philippians 1:6
You are well adapted to know the Lord if you will do but one thing: Do not grow weary; wait humbly in His presence until the door opens. - Jeanne Guyon
Jesus is the fulfillment of the promised land for our lives. We no longer have to settle for manna. We can eat the food of the land of promise. There is variety, color, fullness and life for us in the promised land. No more desert, no more dry places. The promises of God bring us into a land of abundance, and the overflow with new adventures of conquest and expansion. Springs of life and rivers of living water overflow here. All of this is ours in the promised land. - John Belt
