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)

"As for us, we have all of these great witnesses who encircle us like clouds. So we must let go of every wound that has pierced us and the sin we so easily fall into. Then we will be able to run life's marathon race with passion and determination, for the path has been already marked out before us." (Hebrews 12:1)


The enemy has tried to thwart and rob us this season by derailing many of us from our purpose through deep wounds of disappointment. These wounds have been so deep for many that it has been difficult to imagine life beyond them.

So whatever you have been facing; whatever demonic forces have been trying to keep you bound; whatever deep wound and trauma you have been carrying; whatever betrayal you have been trying to be free from—the past memories and sting; the disappointment or bitterness that you have been dealing with—the Blood of Jesus speaks a better word over you today.

Declare The Following -- I am cleansed, I am healed, I am restored, I am forgiven in Jesus name. He did this for me 2000 years ago.

The sound of heaven is resonating in your heart flowing from a devoted relationship with God through His Spirit. Invest yourself in another Believers spiritual development.

It is only through doing things at high altitudes that we get used to the height, and pretty soon we are soaring! He wants to get us to the point where we are looking up, living up, coming up, and rising up as we live out God's purpose for our life as we minister His Kingdom to the world.
