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)

"And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years." (Luke 1:18)


Notice that Zechariah spoke against the prophetic word from God. He rehearsed with his mouth all the reasons why it would not happen. This serves as a warning to you today. Refuse to partner with circumstances that go against the words that God has promised you. It is time to get your hopes back up and believe again!


Elisabeth protected the promise she was carrying. She knew there would be some people who would speak against that which God had done for her. She was unwilling to allow anyone to hurt her faith or speak against the promise of God.


You have been barren. You have not seen the fruitfulness or the harvest in your life. You have felt like giving up, but you remain standing. God has seen your faithfulness, and has heard your prayers -- even the prayers that you have stopped praying because it hurt too bad to believe anymore.

Get ready for past-due promises coming forth. It has seemed as if God has been silent, This is a mind-blowing season -- partner your words with the moving of the Holy Spirit -- you will see them fulfilled and experience that which you have decreed!
