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)

Our Potential To Advance His Kingdom
Posted 11-04-2023 at 11:42 PM by Albert Finch
Colossians 3:3 - "For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God."
Paul informs us that God hid our abundant life in Christ. Where is Jesus? Answer: seated at the right hand of the Father, in heavenly places. (Ephesians 1:20) Our abundant life is in our Christ anointing that we received when we became born again. And only faith can make the withdrawals.
Faith was never intended only to get us into the family. Faith sees. It brings our potential to advance His kingdom into focus. All of the Father's resources, all of His benefits, are accessible through faith.
To encourage us in our capacity to see, Jesus gave specific instruction, "Seek first the kingdom of God..." (Matthew 6:33). Paul says in 2 Corinthians 4:18, "For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal."
Scripture tells us to turn our attention toward the invisible. Faith has its anchor in the unseen realm. It lives from the invisible toward the visible. Faith actualizes what it realizes. The Scriptures contrast the life of faith with the limitations of natural sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
