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)

Seeking Communion - October 2, 2018

He is asking you to lay down all of the hindrances – all that you have been holding on to, and all that man would try to wrap you in; for He is a collector of grave clothes. They are leftovers and He wants to take them off of you. He will take off all reproach, so that you will only experience approaching His Throne of Grace, in full assurance.
He has not come to condemn, but He has come with a drawing heart – a heart to draw you deeper, and deeper and deeper into the things of His Spirit. For as Jonah was swallowed up in the big fish, for disobedience, so He desires to swallow you up in pure obedience; and to hide you inside Himself for protection; to have you hidden from the storm. So you will ride through the storm -- for know that He is the God of provision.
He is the God of the beginning, the end, and the middle. There is not one thing in your life that He cannot use, whether it be pain, whether it is a testimony of a sin forgiven and forgotten, whether it be a vision, or a dream or a prompting of His Spirit. For He hears even the sighs in your heart, as well as your cries in the night.
He is near you. If only you could see in the spirit, you would never, ever, have fear – fear of man or fear of any circumstance. For you would understand, there is nothing to fear. Bring your faith to Him, and let Him increase your faith into His goodness. And as you grow in your own understanding, the knowledge of the goodness of God toward you and for you, you will learn to recognize what is of Him, of His Spirit, and what the demonic would send against you.
He is bringing all that you are, into the fullness of what you were called to be, for He is the God of completion. Has He not said, 'I am the beginning and the end'?
He presents to you; gifts of Himself, gifts of His Spirit, gifts of answered prayers, gifts of His anointing to break off yokes, and to draw you closer into His purpose for your life.
Allow Him to capture your heart, to capture your mind, to renew your vision and your understanding, so being distraught will be far, far, away. Allow Him to bury what was. Will you accept who He has called you to be: 'Sons and Daughters of the Most High God'? Wear this title with humility, authority, with dignity, and with a grateful heart. For truly you have been labeled, and marked; marked by His love, marked by His compassion, set aside, consecrated, made holy.
"I am sure that God who began the good work within you will keep right on helping you grow in His grace until His task within you is finally finished on that day when Jesus Christ returns." -- Philippians 1:6 LB
