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)

Where Is The Limit To Your Faith?
Posted 08-11-2020 at 01:10 AM by Albert Finch
In Ezekiel 37, the Prophet Ezekiel was carried in the Spirit to a valley of dry bones. These bones represented the house of Israel, but also speak of structures, as well as anything that has been dead for so long it no longer even resembles its former appearance. God led Ezekiel to walk around the dry bones, and in verse 2, the Bible makes three things very clear:
1. Ezekiel had to walk around the bones very many times.
2. The amount of bones was enormous, so much so that they couldn't be counted.
3. The bones were very dry.
The amount of detail that the Prophet goes into about the bones speaks to the fact that he was in the midst of a situation that he could not easily escape, walk through, or just gloss over. God specifically had him going around in circles so that he could get a detailed look at the condition of the bones he was in the midst of.
CONFRONTING OUR IMPOSSIBLE SITUATIONS
In the same way, many of us have been in the midst of situations we could not escape.
Every time it seems like we get free, it seems like we're right back in the same place we started out! Season after season, over and over again, we're made to go around the same problems and issues!
Walking around a dead situation long enough can sometimes dampen even the most brilliant and powerful faith! However, it's just these times where God comes to us and asks us like He asked Ezekiel, "Can these dry bones live?"
After you have heard the darkest and most depressing news, do you still believe that God is able?
God's question to Ezekiel was never about the bones. What God was really asking Ezekiel was, "Where is the limit to your faith?" After seeing all the death and devastation, God needs someone who will rise up and declare, "MY GOD IS STILL ABLE!" That is what God is looking for TODAY! God needs your voice to declare His power! Someone around you needs to hear that God is still able to save, heal, deliver, defend, provide, heal, and bring victory!
The answer our generation gives to the question of "Can these bones live?" is going to determine the level of breakthrough that we experience.
START PROPHESYING!
When God saw Ezekiel's faith arise to the challenge, the answer was simple: START PROPHESYING!
He told Ezekiel to prophesy to the dry bones and command them to listen to the Word of the Lord! Right now creation is moaning and groaning, waiting for the Word of the Lord to bring forth God's manifestation, but it can't because the sons have not arisen to declare the Word of the Lord!
As Ezekiel began to prophesy and declare God's will, the release of faith and authority began to cause a shaking! Right now God is shaking things loose in the heavenlies and in the earth! As the Bible says in Haggai 2:6, "For thus saith the LORD of hosts; 'Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land...'"
THE WIND OF DESTINY
Right now, God is releasing a fresh wind upon us, the wind of destiny, to blow us into our PURPOSE and into our CALLING! Winds are the vehicle of the spirit realm. From Moses to Elijah, even to the Day of Pentecost, the winds of God have all played a part in bringing God's will into the earth!
Ezekiel 37:9 - "Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man.."
Declare today that the four winds are about to bring you in to your place of purpose, power, prosperity, and passion as you are delivered into your DESTINY!
• Declare that the winds of destiny are being released over you right now!
• Declare that the north wind is bringing forth God's presence and rain!
• Declare that the east wind is blowing to bring judgment to the forces of darkness in your life and release you into righteousness!
• Declare that the west wind of God is bringing forth God's mercy and God's miracles in your life!
• Declare that the south wind is releasing God's blessing and provision as you walk according to His purpose for your life!
This is your finest hour! Receive the winds of your God-given DESTINY and rejoice!
