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)

What did the 120 in the upper room have after the falling of the Holy Spirit that they didn't have before?
Answer: Hunger For Souls
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations..." - Matthew 28:19
All the people you are discipling at this time, their souls are in bondage -- otherwise, they would be advancing God's Kingdom and changing the world.
Your job is to free them from that bondage. Obtaining that freedom always involves action.
If you don't have a hunger to make them a world changer you need to look at where your spiritual life is falling short.
If you don't have a hunger for advancing souls in God's Kingdom then you have a hunger for other things that are keeping you in bondage as well as them.
"The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever." - 1 John 2:17
"You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you." - John 15:16
"Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, - Hebrews 12:1
