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)

"But the men who had gone up with him said, 'We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are.' And they spread among the Israelites an evil report about the land they had explored. They said, 'The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes and we looked the same to them.'" - Numbers 13:31-33
OBSERVATION:
God will often asks us to do something that is bigger than we are.
Just because God promises you something, that doesn't mean you won't have adversaries.
If God asks you to do something that appears to be difficult, He is also giving you an anointing to overcome it.
The Children of Israel, through their unbelief, determined how long they were in the wilderness. God never intended them to stay in the desert for 40 years.
Colossians 1:12,13 - "Giving thanks unto the Father ...Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son."
Many believers limit God without even realizing it by training their eyes on the limited resources of this world rather than the unlimited riches of God's Kingdom.
Their faith fails when they think of the troubled economy on the earth or of the scarcity that surrounds them.
The Bible says God has "delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son." To be translated means to be taken out of one place and put into another.
In other words, your citizenship is not primarily of this earth...you are first and foremost a citizen of the Kingdom of God. That means this planet doesn't have any right to dictate to you whether your needs are met or not. The Bible says God will meet your needs according to His riches in glory! (Philippians 4:19)
AFFIRMATIONS:
I wake up to the fact that I've been translated out of a world of poverty into a kingdom of abundance.
Heaven's unlimited resources are available to me!
"...where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom" (2 Corinthians 3:17)!
Freedom is the key result of any Holy Spirit breakout.
Let your faith rest in the anointing that destroys every yoke. Let your expectation be in the mighty arm of the Lord that is ready to move across the earth! The breakout of the Spirit like a flood upon this earth!
There is about to be a "bursting forth of His Spirit" like a flood, like a flood of rushing rivers and every restraining factor – whether it be religion or tradition, or the Antichrist cultures of our day – and these things will bend and fold under the power and force of this breakout!
The Holy Spirit is about to breakthrough the immunity to His presence that the Church has put in place (sometimes unwittingly) via religious rituals, traditions of men and inviting the spirit of the world in. He is going to "take over" and move by His Spirit like a flood. Everything that tries to stand in His way will get swept away by the force and velocity of His coming!
How will this break out? It will break out of the Believers who are walking in their CALLING IN CHRIST and putting God first in everything! For doesn't His Word say that out of our hearts will flow rivers of living water (John 7:38)?
That is why the Lord would have you decree over yourself Isaiah 61 in this season. Decree and declare it, for you are about to see the Spirit of the Lord breakout through you like a rushing river. Everything Isaiah 61 spells out, you will see take place by the Spirit of the Lord!
"'For it's not by might nor by power, but BY MY SPIRIT,' SAYS THE LORD" (Zechariah 4:6).
