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)

Have you felt like you've gone into the grave? Have you felt like it is over, and the enemy thinks he has you beaten? This may have felt like a season of handing over the broken pieces of dreams -- watch as God breathes new life into what you thought was dead and impossible to raise.

"Therefore prophesy and say to them: 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel.'" (Ezekiel 37:12)


NOTHING can stop what God is doing right now. You may feel warred against on every side, pressed, persecuted, and backed into a corner, but God is moving in your life in ways you can't see yet, but soon will.

Closure is happening, and a new beginning in heart, environment, and mission is already underway. For all the taunts and constant attacks, NOTHING has been held back, or prevented, that God has promised for your Christ calling. Things may have been delayed and diverted for a time, but they have not been destroyed.

God bringing you into a time of fresh baptism of fire and intimacy with the Lord -- God bringing you into a time of dreaming again, and "re-visioning" -- God restoring the years that the locust has eaten -- God is taking you through the process of speaking with new themes and messages which He is preparing for you to carry.
