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)

If we think that our deliverance depends partly on God and partly on us, we will not have a settled peace in our heart. But when we know that it is the blood alone that saves, we will have an unshakable peace. Saves from what? -- anything that doesn't match up with heaven.

May those things that you felt died be resurrected in even bigger and better ways to the glory of God.

MAY YOU DECLARE: "Dreams and Destiny come forth!"

When you depend on Jesus continually, your whole perspective changes. You keep your plans tentative – you consciously live, move, and have your being in Him. This is the ultimate adventure.

We all need spiritual momentum in our lives. The enemy tries to slow or shift your momentum by bringing distractions to get you off course. We are called to "stay the course" -- to be in sync with His river of life.

Expect advancement from strength to strength! Expect to go from glory to glory as God opens impossible doors for the advancement of His kingdom through His CALLING on your life.
