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)

Romans 10:17 - "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing, by the word of God."
Jesus said, "Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed" (John 20:29). Blessed means "empowered." so, according to Jesus, you'll have more power if you'll believe before seeing a physical manifestation.
For you to believe something you don't see with your physical eyes, you have to turn inward. You have to activate your spirit being. When you do that the part of you that is like God rises up and gets stronger. Keep standing on the Word, first and foremost.
The everyday kind of faith you use for living -- doesn't come from moving in the gifts of the Spirit. It doesn't come from seeing Jesus or having special visitations and experiences with God. It comes by hearing and hearing and hearing the Word of God.
