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)

Many Believers have felt that their future looks bleak, because nothing has changed or moved, and it had been like this for so very long. But know that many are coming into their predestined future; you are being given "hope and a future," like Jeremiah 29:11 says. We are in that season now – to see those changes happen. Unprecedented changes are coming to all long-standing, stagnant areas in your life -- they will no longer be dry and barren but filled with the fulfillment of His word.

You are crossing over into your promised land. Don't be afraid to move forward, and know that it is okay to let go of people, places, and situations because not everything can go where you are going. The Lord has so much more prepared for you; your most incredible days are now right in front of you.

Your days of desolation and isolation are over, for it is time to see your latter days which will be greater than your former days.
