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)

2 Corinthians 1:4 - “He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When they are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us.”
We need a revelation of a greater power, an abiding presence sustaining and comforting us in the hour of trial. What more do we need in these last days when perilous times are upon us than to be filled and saturated with the Holy Spirit!
Baptized into Him, never to come out. May we know nothing among men except Jesus Christ and Him crucified (1 Corinthians 2:2). May we be clothed with His Spirit – nothing outside of the Blessed Holy Spirit.
In all the chastening, correcting, and hardship, we are strengthened so that we may endure and so that we may comfort others “with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.”
