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)

God is awakening your roar to speak into the darkness; into crisis and chaos. However, without the roar, you will see NO REAL CHANGE. The roar of the Lion of Judah is both the BREATH of God and the SOUND of God. The breath is the empowerment and anointing of the Spirit and the sound is the weapon that both heals and restores, and breaks through and destroys principalities and powers.

That roar is wanting to come through you but it isn't tame. No, like a lion this roar is wild, or like David said, "I will be so much more undignified than this!" (see 2 Samuel 6:22). David understood the wild nature of the Lion of Judah roaring through him. This roar doesn't respond out of duty but out of worship, and because of this, it will never be clean and neat according to man's standards of religious customs/protocols. The roar will always carry an edge that stands out and "pierces through" the atmosphere you are in. That's what the sound of the roar through you does. It's not for show and it's not for gain -- you sound like the One you have been with.

You can't be a voice thinking like an orphan or constantly feeling insignificant. Build yourself up in the Word concerning your Christ identity and begin to see yourself as a mighty, powerful voice. Encourage yourself to roar in a time when the enemy wants you on the sidelines: Wake up every day knowing that regardless of your position, you have a voice that is powerful and known in the heavenlies. It's a new day to partner with Heaven and see your Christ calling impact the earth!
