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)

Where Is Our Focus?
Posted 11-05-2010 at 05:12 AM by Albert Finch
1 Corinthians 1:9 -- God is faithful (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on.)
Seeds of affirmation, meditation, prayer, works, giving and other acts of obedience are ready to burst forth in bud and fruit.
Harvest awaits those who do not yield to discouragement and remain consistent in obedience and diligence.
Grasshoppers of discouragement will assault us when we're weary. Our strength is diminished when we allow our minds to entertain and dwell on information available to our senses. When focused on the turmoil (bad economy) and upheaval of the temporal we'll be overwhelmed. It will not bring us strength, but drain us. Conditions and circumstances will counsel us to give up.
AFFIRMATIONS
My season of harvest awaits me!
I don't allow the grasshopper of discouragement to destroy all I've sown.
God's promise is sure and backed by His character.
Psalm 89:8 -- O Lord God Almighty! Where is there anyone as mighty as you, Lord? Faithfulness is your very character.

List 2 affirmations from scripture that you are using to overcome this thinking.
