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 confess that the Holy Spirit is my partner! With Him as my helper I am getting better and better in prayer every day!
Where is the teacher who knows God, knows Him by being in love with Him? The most cynical and rebellious sinner will be silent before such a teacher. - Peter Kreeft
We must be a burning and shining people who know where we are headed, fixing our eyes on our destiny, if we are going to awaken broken and disillusioned hearts! - Sean Feucht
"Be strengthened with might through His Spirit.." Ephesians 3:16
Paul urges us to be so deeply rooted, so in union with Christ, that the impossible becomes possible, and the invisible becomes visible. - Keith Miller
What I know will help me. What I think I know will hurt me. It's the spirit of revelation that helps me know the difference. - Bill Johnson
Affirmation: I confess that I am following the voice of Jesus. I have been given spiritual power, spiritual weapons, and the wonderful word of God. I maintain the attitude that never gives in, never gives up, and never surrenders to defeat.
Jesus is waiting for you to stop struggling in your own attempts to somehow "deserve" His favor, and just depend on Him. - Joseph Prince
When you hear the still, small voice within, it is time to be silent. This voice is not a stranger to your spirit. Deep within you will learn to yield to God and to trust your Lord. - Francois Fenelon
"For God alone my soul waits in silence..." - Psalm 62:1
When traveling on a plane,train or a bus, sitting next to a stranger, how can you approach the subject of salvation? - Ros Rinker
To keep believing, you have to be planted. Plant yourself in a place where the Word is prevalent and the people around you are continually speaking and living it. - Myles Munroe
Affirmation: I confess that my character, attitude, and actions are being refined by the fire of God in my life.
Though we are legal citizens of God's kingdom, the boundary lines that we choose to reside within will, by our choice, define the domain (Gods or satans) which has jurisdiction in our lives. - Markus Bishop
With the weapons of worship and wielding the Word of His authority, we will war in the spirit to accomplish the purposes of God. He gives us all the backing we need to disciple others into a higher knowledge of Christ. - John Belt
"Therefore go and make disciples of all the nations..." - Matthew 28:19
Through a flood of words satan wants to reduce your relationship with God to a hollow religion, void of the reality of Christ's life. - Francis Frangipane
The whole sweep of the Book of Psalms is concerned with nothing more nor less that the petitions of the Lord's Prayer. In all our praying there remains only the prayer of Jesus Christ; this alone has the promise of fulfillment and frees us. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
