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: I press into God to lay hold of the purpose for which Christ Jesus has saved me and wants me to be.
He invites us to prepare for eternity while living on Earth in the destiny he has purposed in us. - Shawn Bolz
"But lay up for yourselves treasure in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is there will your heart be also." - Matthew 6:20,21
" Those who have obtained like precious faith with us." - 2 Peter 1:1
We must have this almighty and precious faith within us so that we may move from the ordinary into the extraordinary. We must expect God to come forth in power through us for the deliverance of others. - Smith Wigglesworth
Affirmation: Everything I need is already in me. Jesus put it there....faith is there...power is there....love is there.
We must put on the mind of Christ so that the Spirit of wisdom and revelation is activated in our lives. To do this we need to have faith that God will show us new revelation in a way that we, individually, can receive. Revelation leads us to wisdom, and wisdom gives us strategy. - Chuck Pierce
"That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him." - Ephesians 1:17
I am not looking at what I deserve. I am looking at what Jesus deserves. Even right now, Jesus , I thank You that You see me as perfectly righteous. I can expect good not because I am good, but because You are good! Amen! - Joseph Prince
Jesus did not go the the cross so that we would not have to suffer, but rather so we could be victorious in our suffering. - Rick Joyner
Affirmation: I'm not going to wait until I feel stirred up. I'm stepping out by faith and expecting my feelings to follow.
You recall that Jacob wrestled with the Lord all night, until daybreak? THEN it was that the Lord blessed him. Persevere against any and all difficulties which confront you in your seeking the Lords presence in your spirit. Be steadfast until the Lord gives your spirit His blessing. - Michael Molinos
Self-control in our lives is the evidence of the Holy Spirit's control and influence over us. - Bill Johnson
"For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of self control. - 2 Timothy 1:7
"Koinonia" (communion,fellowship) is what the Father and Son have done from all eternity. Each has existed by beholding the glory of the other. Jesus, on earth, prayed that His followers might also behold His glory where He is. Fellowshipping with Him, beholding Him, can change us into His very image. - Jerry Coulter
All life flows out of relationship. What He wants are the reins of your heart. - Steve Sampson
