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 fire of the Lord revives you, frees you, and brings you closer to Him; where the fire of the enemy brings death, destruction, oppression, and bondage. "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; He will purify… and refine them like gold and silver…" (Malachi 3:3)
God is using this time to construct, build, and draw you into who you were called to be; that which, without the fire, you wouldn't have discovered otherwise.
Unique expressions and streams will emerge that have been "pulled out" or drawn out because of the heat and pressing. If you have been a sleeping warrior you will stand to your feet.
"Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, 'I am a warrior.'" (Joel 3:10)
The Lord is combining both the branding iron (used for marking deeply) with the pruning hook (used for cutting back and purifying) as a tool for raising up mighty warriors!
Since you have been through the fire as His 'firebrand,' you will rescue those who have felt weak and broken down in the battlefield, forging them into weapons. You will "hook" people out of darkness and bring them back into life. You will be the reviver of those who feel dead and beyond hope –- like you once were. You will be the dispenser of Holy Ghost fire to those whose flames have been extinguished.
Just like after a fire burns land and new life comes forth, now you are going to see the new life budding up from the ashes and ruins.
