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 remember that when Jesus arose, I arose. When He came out of hell and defeated the enemy, I came out of hell and defeated the enemy. His victory is my victory because I am in Him.
If you only knew what you had, your bodies would scarcely be able to contain it. That God shall so bring us into divine attractiveness by His almightiness that the whole of our bodes shall wake up to resurrection force, to the divine, inward flow of eternal power coursing through the human frame. - Smith Wigglesworth
Why did God create you? What is your purpose here on earth? God knew your calling before the foundations of the earth. It is not His intention to keep that calling a secret from you and watch you flounder through life -- He is willing to answer if you will draw apart and hear what He is saying. - Chuck Pierce
"....before you were born I consecrated you" - Jeremiah 1:5
The awareness of deep personal need is the setting where extraordinary faith grows. When there is no awareness of need, the opportunity to respond to God remains out of reach. - Bill Johnson
Do we really think we can experience integration of heart and mind and spirit with an erratic prayer life? - Richard Foster
Affirmation: I refuse to relinquish any of my God-promised territory! My faith is tough, resistant, persistent, obstinate, and stubborn.
Moving into a faith and miracle-filled life means seizing your dreams. You can seize your dreams by thanking God for answers that are coming to you, even when appearances seem to say otherwise. God is looking for people who will have the faith to believe in what's not happening now. He wants us to have ridiculous faith to believe that He can provide for what we can't see. - Steve Munsey
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." - Hebrews 11:1
If Christians were rightly informed of who they are and what they have in Christ, holiness would just naturally flow out of them. It's their nature. - Andrew Wommack
What is meant by resurrection? It means the natural has passed away and the supernatural has come. - Watchman Nee
Affirmation: Nothing that I seek is as satisfying to my soul, no other answer as beneficial, as seeing Christ with the eyes and understanding of my inner man.
God loves to start God-sized projects using "human zeros." From His viewpoint they represent pregnant emptiness and untapped potential waiting for divine touch. - Tommy Tenney
It is often impossible to distinguish professing Christians from the rankest unbelievers, until they once again unite to sing of their love and devotion to Jesus. - William Law
"For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." - Matthew 6:21
As His glory fills us, we act as conduits of the substance of Heaven influencing other believers and setting an example for the world. - John Belt
Start with small amounts of time talking with Jesus. As you get to know Him, you will want to be with Him more and more. - Alice Smith
