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)

Hebrews 11:6 - "No man can please God without Faith." (TEV)

Without faith it is impossible to please God. We are not allowed to simply wait for something to happen.

The spirit of the resurrected Christ is in you -- find it. That discovery releases extraordinary faith. That partnership positions you to redefine the nature of the world around you.

Ask the Lord to propel you into the next level of your growth and destiny. If we lose sight of OUR PURPOSE that God has for us being here we will drift aimlessly into things that are not fulfilling.

As you are an heir of God and co-heir with Jesus. God wants you to be effective in moving His Kingdom forward and. know what is available to you from Him. The word of God unveils your dominion and authority in Christ so you can be effective in bearing fruit that remains for God's advancing Kingdom. The Lord is calling you to claim and walk in your Christ identity as you come to understand your Christ calling.

"For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God." - Romans 8:14
