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)

"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." (Galatians 6:9)

Just before your "due season" – which is translated from the Greek word "kairos," meaning "set time" – comes the temptation to faint. The enemy does his best to entice you to sit down, relax, and give up when you are just about to step into your set time of reaping.

The Lord is telling us to "Come up higher!" It's time you realize that you were never meant to live in a low place. Many have been thrown down into a pit, but like Joseph, you are being raised up. It is time to soar. Come up where the enemy's fog cannot blind you.

If your mind has been clouded with confusion, discouragement, and even a loss of passion for the things of God, it is because you are under a spiritual assault. The enemy is terrified that you will know your identity in Christ and walk in His delegated authority. Keep standing -- refuse to sit down or give up -- expose the scheme of the adversary.

You are coming out. Your zeal for His presence is returning -- the heaviness you have carried is lifting. You are entering another dimension where you will soar and be encased with the glory of God. The cycle of weariness is over, and your season of reaping is here.
