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 have the exact Word I need for every situation - a specific, quickened word from the scriptures. Because this Rhema from God is in my heart, I have real sword power to use against the enemy!
It is very possible that your first message from Jesus will not be words but an urgency you feel. You are starting to care about something beyond your own life. You are being influenced by the yearnings of God. He is depositing in you His grief and His love so you can respond to a specific need. - Mario Murillo
Your spirit does not feel in the same way that the emotions feel. That which goes on inside the spirit is not outwardly perceptible as are those things which go on in the more outward portion of your being. - Michael Molinos
"We all with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image." - 2 Corinthians 3:18
The severest discipline of a Christian's life is to learn how to keep "beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord." - Oswald Chambers
You cant just dream.You must DO. "It's not enough to stare up the steps, you must step up the stairs." - Vance Havner
Affirmation: I confess that I have taken my place in God's plan. It will take unbelievable strength and energy to move that vision from the realm of dreams to the realm of reality. Because of the Holy Spirit in me, I have the strength.
God intends each soul touched by Pentecost to be a live wire - not a monument, but a movement. - Smith Wigglesworth
The gospel can be preached by an archbishop in a cathedral or by a converted drug dealer in a tent. The gospel itself is the greatness, the power, the majesty and the wonder of God on any occasion. - Reinhard Bonnke
Paul said his objective was "by all means to save some" -- 1 Corinthians 9:22
True faith walks and believes in what Jesus has already accomplished and will not be discouraged by the appearances of the temporary realm. - Rick Joyner
We cannot afford to have a moment in our lives when circumstances distract us from tending the fire of His presence in our heart. - Bill Johnson
Affirmation: I confess that in Jesus Christ I am fully empowered to enforce Satan's defeat.
Where self or the natural man is become great in religious learning, the more firmly will he be fixed in the religion of proving himself to be right, rather than in surrendering to the will of God. - William Law
Have you been impoverishing the ministry of Jesus so that He cannot do anything? - Oswald Chambers
"How can you give me "living water?" - John 4:11
Holiness is not "Clean yourself up then come to Jesus" but rather "Come to Jesus just as you are then He will clean you up." - Rick Warren
Flow out of me, Oh, well, with living water from the river of God. Amen - William J. Seymour (November 1906)
