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)

Sunday School - January 16, 2011
Affirmation: I receive the Spirit of Christ into my heart to empower me. Whatever I find in me that is not like Jesus, - I crucify.
Reasonable people try to fit in; unreasonable people try to get other people to fit into God's plan. All progress is dependent upon the crazy lover. - Sean Smith
The harvest is now, and the Spirit Himself is breathing on us with great favor as we go forth in greater wisdom, power and love. (John 4:35) - Che Ahn
Prayer: Jesus, send me the ripe ones. Grant me divine appointments. Lead me to those who are asking, Lord. Amen
God designed you to be a powerful part of His plan, but so much depends upon your willingness to allow Him to unleash the dreams inside you.- Steve Munsey
Get zealous for God to do a miracle in you and through you! So, get passionate, and He will do the rest! - Marilyn Hickey
Affirmation: I view Jesus' words as doors through which I enter God's eternal Kingdom.
Jesus loved us enough to leave His Father in Heaven, and He expects no less from us - asking us to abandon all other loves for Him. - Shawn Bolz
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters - yes, even his own life - he cannot be my disciple." Luke 14:26
Oh, how much of our own human reason we have to get rid of, how much human planning we have to become divorced from. Unbelief is a terrible hindrance. - Smith Wigglesworth
Instead of religious debate, which destroys faith and results in an independent spirit, we are to become dependent totally upon the Lord as a yielded vessel washed in the truth of His Word. - Paul Keith Davis
God, cleanse my heart with Your fire that I may receive the baptism of Your Spirit. Amen. - William J. Seymour (April 1906)
Affirmation: I embrace the life of faith which has its anchor in the unseen realm. I am not limited by my natural sight.
In our place of transition we must become much more focused on the Lord in order to make it through to the place of restoration that God has for us. - Chuck Pierce
To truly know God we must seek Him until we pass through our knowledge into an encounter with the Almighty. - Francis Frangipane
The sacrifice that is pleasing to God is what you give from your heart despite what you are feeling or what your circumstances are. - Myles Munroe
"With a free-will offering I will sacrifice to thee; I will give thanks to thy name, O Lord, for it is good. - Psalm 54:6
God creates out of nothing. Therefore, until a man is nothing, God can make nothing out of him. - Martin Luther
