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)

The (Red) sea, which has been your barrier, is the threshold of your crossing into the miraculous. You hold the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 16:19), and you will unlock the chains of the captives and deliver the oppressed.

After 3 failed attempts at trying to get Samson to reveal the secret of his strength, Delilah "...pressed him daily with her words...so that his soul was vexed unto death" (Judges 16:16).

This spirit that operated through her had so disillusioned him that he was at the point of wanting to die. "And she made him sleep upon her knees..." (Jdg. 16:19). That same spirit is in operation today, slowly and methodically pressing many Believers to a place of surrender. It has lullabied the Church to fall asleep in its lap for far too long. It is after the anointing -- It comes to steal one's strength.

Declare that the spirit of Delilah, which has caused you to slumber, is breaking off of your life, and you are awakening from its lap. It is time to reclaim your authority and dominion in Christ and demonstrate your victory as you advance God's Kingdom through your Christ calling.
