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)

You may have felt disarmed and disabled by the noise of the world and become confused and distracted from your Christ calling.

There is a reset taking place right now where God is exposing the diversions to your calling (Ephesians 4:1), removing all strings, wires, ropes, and chains and He is restoring and healing those that have been cluttered and sidetracked from their real mission. As you abide in the secret place fresh oil is flowing to rise you up with fresh fire and focus.

You may feel pushed into a place of confinement by the enemy, where it feels like in every situation and circumstance there was no way out. There seems to be impossibilities on every side and the "end of the road" signs around you.

There has been an extreme mental battle where the breaking point has brought a new level of intensity and taunts of warfare that have been deafening. This is a season where the promise before you is "Go, run, pursue! Stretch your tent pegs, expand and move!" (Isaiah 54:2)

If you have been pressed, crushed, bullied, and oppressed by the enemy ( 2 Corinthians 4:8) -- then release a powerful roar, silencing the enemy and shutting down his plans. You are to rally and fight and not hide -- there is a cloud of witnesses (Hebrews 12:1) standing in Heaven interceding for you that are saying Rise up! Being backed into a corner is only causing you to want to run into the enemy's camp and wreak havoc…so do it! Praise, prophesy, stand up, rise up, and move in faith (John 5:8), regardless of what you see!
