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)

Affirmation: My vision protects me from being misguided by good alternatives - It allows me to say no to lesser prospects, even if there are certain benefits to them.
You must constantly seek to understand what God wants you to become (your destiny). - Matthew 7:7 - Steve Munsey
Intimidated believers lose their authority in the spirit by default; consequently, their gift -- God's ability in them -- lies asleep and inactive. Though it is present, it is not in operation. - John Bevere
"Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you....For God has not given us a spirit of timidity." - 2 Timothy 1:6,7
God has put something inside of us and He wants it to flow out. The more it flows out, the more life it's going to bring. If there's only a trickle at first, He wants it to become a mighty river. It affects lives. - Sean Smith
In God's Kingdom, you do not rely upon your own understanding but allow the Spirit of God to reveal hidden meanings that will cause you to know God and His destined purposes. You do not look on the outward appearance but view deep into the inner meaning of the spiritual force behind what you are seeing. This will cause you to see God's solution opposed to your own. - Chuck Pierce
Affirmation: I mind the things of the spirit and do not walk after the flesh.
God anoints your soul. God anoints your life. God comes to dwell in your person. God comes to make you a master. That is the purpose of His indwelling in a Christian. - John Lake
We are a people whose lives have a destiny to stand in His Holy Place; to be a gate, an opening that ushers in His glorious presence, that the King of Glory would enter. - Keith Miller
"Give unto the Lord the glory due to His name....worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness." - Psalm 29:1,2
We are created to worship. Our spirits cry out to worship the One who is so worthy to be worshipped. Our lives are transformed with revelation light. - C. McGill
What can I do now to prepare for eternity? - Shawn Bolz
Affirmation: The Spirit shows me what I should pray for and makes intercession for me.
Prayer permeates the whole personality. It becomes like our breath or our blood, which moves throughout the entire body. Prayer develops a deep rhythm inside us. - Richard Foster
Christ will give me grace to pray as I should. Prayer is incense that I burn before God. I pray, expecting an answer. - Andrew Murray
Importunate prayer is a mighty movement of the soul toward God. It is a passion of soul. It is the ability to hold on, press on, wait, and not give up. - E. M. Bounds
"Many scolded him and told him to be quiet. But he shouted even more loudly, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" - Mark 10:48
I love to be alone in my cottage where I can spend much time in prayer. - David Brainerd
