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)

Don't allow yourself to stagnate and become callous and cold. Now is the time to awake from slumber and rouse to reality (see Romans 13:11-14)! Arise and shine and push on to new heights (see Isaiah 60:1-5). The Spirit of Truth is desiring to release profound, awesome revelation for you to come higher. If you contend and earnestly seek, this can be a season where the eyes of your heart are flooded with revelatory light (see Ephesians 1:17-18).

This is not a time to be vague and dim, but you must be bright and alert, clear and committed to advancing the King in His Kingdom.

You do not have time to delay, the Spirit of Truth is preparing a remnant to proceed to the next new level; you must advance and make progress (see Ephesians 5:14-15). In this next new level you will begin to grasp a higher, clearer insight into your Christ calling. Prepare to behold the living Lord Jesus in a much clearer way.

It's time to remove all lids of limitations off and believe God for big things, being assured that He is able to do much more than you could ask or even think (see Ephesians 3:20-21).

The Spirit of God is stirring your soul and awakening your heart to seek deeper depths and higher heights. This is the time for you to go all out for Christ and the Kingdom of God. Don't hold back; surrender yourself entirely to the control and guidance of the Holy Spirit. This statement is so true: "Deep calls to deep" (Psalm 42:7).
