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)

Affirmation: Things have never been the way they are going to be because God is doing a new work in me.
If the things to which you feel called do not require spiritual resources as well as natural labor, then perhaps you aren't fulfilling your call to its full potential. - Tommy Tenney
The deadness and feebleness of the saints today is largely due to their receiving and following the truth with their minds. This is nothing but the law. In spite of the exactness of the letter, it is absolutely not of the Holy Spirit. - Watchman Nee
God requires to be represented by a fiery church, or he is not in any proper sense, represented at all. God, himself, is all on fire, and his church, if it is to be like him, must also be at white heat. - E. M. Bounds
"The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire." Psalm 29:7
When your heart is full of Christ, you want to sing. - C. H. Spurgeon
Affirmation: I have a passion to give Jesus preeminence in everything.
It is time to break through and out of lethargy and passivity. This is the day to posses our inheritance and promise. - Barbara Yoder
We will never have more affection or passion for God than we understand He has for us. - Mike Bickle
Our boldness and confidence is always in the blood of Jesus, not our own righteousness. It is not even because of who we are in Christ, but rather in who He is in us. - Rick Joyner
"This was according to the eternal purpose which He has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and confidence of access through our faith in Him. - Ephesians 3:11,12
I used to ask God to help me. Then I asked if I might help Him. I ended up by asking Him to do His work through me. - James Hudson Taylor
Affirmation: I reject the expectations of the world and begin to discern the yoke that God has called me to carry.
The desire to meditate, and the grace to begin meditating, is the only thing that will keep us moving forward on the inward journey. - Richard Foster
We are a "royal priesthood", meaning that we are all priests ministering to Jesus, our great High Priest. The primary function of priests is intercession for the people of God. - Che Ahn
"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people. that you may declare the wonderful deeds of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. - 1 Peter 2:9
God is the limit of your ability. He won't allow you to think it if you can't do it. - Myles Munroe
"As I could not make reflection with my understanding, I contrived to picture Christ within me. - Teresa of Avila
