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)

"... call on Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor Me." (Psalm 50:15)

God is the God of divine solutions, of creative breakthroughs, and of impossibilities becoming possible. If you have been feeling stuck or blocked in a certain area of your life, it's time to come back to the Lord and ask for understanding. Often, God's understanding looks different than we expect. You might want Him to immediately change your situation, but He wants to change you through the situation.

God is bringing about perspective shifts so that roadblocks and obstacles will become stepping stones and opportunities. With God, obstacles are always opportunities. They are opportunities for growth, opportunities for miracles, and opportunities for creative solutions. God wants to expand your thinking to see setbacks as invitations to divine solutions. If you can't go through the way you thought, can you go around?

Right now, God is opening up your eyes to see divine solutions and deliverance where previously you only saw difficulties. He is bringing creative breakthroughs and He is raising you up to recognize how to access them. In fact, the thing that seemed like it would keep you from your destiny is the very thing God will use to launch you into your greatest influence. Access His perspective over your situation. Take bold steps of faith. Take action, even when it's tempting to sit in discouragement. God's got you.
