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)

Ephesians 4:6 - "One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."

It does not matter what the enemy brings to you, or tries to bring; the God of power, majesty, and glory can bring you to a place of dethroning everything else! Do you dare to believe it?

We have to apprehend who we are in Christ; we have to understand our right standing with God based on the New Covenant; that we are brought to the place where He is with us in all power, dethroning the power of the Enemy.

The devil is against the living Christ and wants to destroy Him; if you are filled with the living Christ, the Devil is eager to get you out of the way in order to destroy Christ's power.

Pray this to the Lord: "Now, Lord, look after this property of yours." Then the devil cannot get near you. When does He get near? When you dethrone Christ, ignoring His rightful position over you, in you, and through you.
