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 also I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." (Matthew 16:18)
He sees your heartfelt surrender, your desire for His purpose for your life, your commitment to His Word and your love for the disadvantaged and distressed. He knows how much you have persevered (and are persevering). Do you see Him still standing next to you in the fire? Do you hear His whisper amid the storms? He is the God who sees you, and knows you in the very moment you are walking in now.
As your heart rises up in assured, simple, and steady faith, so too will you defeat the giants of your land and possess not only the gates, but the land and all it leads to for His glory.
The enemy uses fear as a false or manufactured pressure to take ground from you. In a similar and even more powerful sense, your faith puts pressure on the enemy and causes him to fear the Kingdom you are bringing from Heaven to reality.
If you are feeling pressure in your purpose with God, it is very likely because your forward steps of faith are putting unbelievable pressure on the enemy (through discipling and equipping believers in their Christ identity) and it is only a matter of time before you not only break through that gate but open the door for many others to follow and build in that territory or sphere of influence.
Your number one gift is an exponent in the lives He has given to you to disciple -- then they are ready to equip others to bear fruit that remains for God's advancing Kingdom.
