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)

Laying Hold Of Jesus
Posted 11-23-2023 at 10:57 PM by Albert Finch
As we trim our lamps and go outside the realm of familiarity and meet Him we encounter the Bridegroom -- our Magnificent Obsession.
He is eternal life! First Timothy 6:12 says, "Lay hold on eternal life." This means to take hold of, to grasp, to seize, to cling to!
His FULL glory pours into us. To lay hold of Jesus is to become a mature vessel of honor that He can use in the CALLING He has destined for each of us.
Jesus says to “Ask, seek, and knock, (Matthew 7:7)” until you come to find God’s purpose for your life. As you come to understand your Christ calling you start to develop vision. You start to see yourself bearing fruit that remains for God’s Kingdom. This becomes the most important thing in your life as it displaces other goals and agendas, you have developed for yourself in the past.
You begin to instinctively reject everything else for Christ and to bear fruit that remains for His advancing Kingdom through your Christ calling.
