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)

Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
The fire that the Lord placed inside you is being reignited, even as you are reading this!
At this time, doing what the Lord instructed you to do is paramount. When you do, you'll experience the turnaround and blessings you've been waiting for. You may have been running from your assignment, like the prophet Jonah. Like Jonah, God is shaking up your boat (your environment) and allowing you to be 'thrown off' on purpose, for a purpose. While in the water, you initially tried to stay afloat by your own power and will. This caused you to be swallowed up by the very problems which hid your promise. God used these issues to transport you to where He was trying to get you to go in the first place!
While en route to the place that the Lord has for you, time in the belly of your adversity will cause you to hear His voice as never before. You'll be situated in the "belly of the beast" long enough (free from distractions) to truly listen to what He's been saying to you all along. God is allowing your problems to move you closer to what He wants you to do.
When released, you will have gained a new outlook and resolve to declare what the Lord speaks! Then will the deluge of blessings begin to fall upon you like rain! Rejoice in your season of rain! It's the rain that revives and heralds the new perspective in advancing God's Kingdom.
Pray as never before! You will walk in new wine, oil, and power! Fear will be replaced with faith. Mighty acts will be your portion.
