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)

Living From the Tree Of Life
Posted 10-26-2023 at 10:46 AM by Albert Finch
1 Corinthians 11:26, "For as often as you eat this bread, and drink this cup, you do show the Lord's death till He comes."
The "Tree of Life" relates to life or death. The "tree of the knowledge of good and evil" relates to that which is good or bad, or, right or wrong.
In our daily life experiences we often make decisions, or choices that relate to right or wrong, and comment about it being either good or bad. As we do this, we again become attached to the tree of knowledge.
Therefore, as we prepare for communion, the first thing we do is to release ourself from this attachment to the Tree of Knowledge. We then reattach ourself to the Tree of Life and speak to the Lord words that include the following: "Lord, I release the totality of my being from the Tree of Knowledge, and through Your redemption in my behalf, I humbly come to You and reattach myself to the Tree of Life, as being a branch that can live, only as I receive the life of the True Vine, flowing into my life."
