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: The Kingdom of God comes as I labor with the Lord to bring it in.
What are you waiting for? Pour out our soul to God. You are going to hear from God, and in that moment you will cease to ask for your heart's desires any longer. You will discover your destiny. - Mario Murillo
Learning to pray is dress rehearsal for eternal life. What we do when we pray is actually to practice what we will be doing in Heaven. - Peter Kreeft
"Therefore encourage one another and build one another up...pray constantly." - 1 Thessalonians 5:11,17
Some debate whether the devil is on the earth or in hell; can he dwell in Christians or only in the world? The fact is, the devil is in darkness. Wherever there is spiritual darkness, there the devil will be. - Francis Frangipane
God is going to get you in over your head to get a resource into you that is over your head. Don't get shook up, just look up. (Isaiah 54:2). - Sean Smith
Affirmation: Where there is barren land, I plant; where there is fruit, I reap - I stop looking for the Kingdom to come from without.
We must discover God's covenant plan for our lives (our destiny). The only way to do that is to listen, to search for Him with all our hearts. - Chuck Pierce
Once our conscience is clear and we are walking in the light, we likewise become the light of the word as Jesus described. As we witness the Gospel to the lost, His light in us will draw them to Him. - Paul Keith Davis
"You are the light of the world...let your light so shine before men.." - Matthew 5:14,16
The unveiling of Jesus is to take away ourselves and to place Himself in us, to take away all our human weakness and put within us that wonderful Word of eternal power which makes us believe that all things are possible. - Smith Wigglesworth
We prevent God from giving us the great spiritual gifts He has in store for us, because we do not give thanks for daily gifts. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Affirmation: I start working with the Lord to bring in the Kingdom from within my spirit where God has deposited His Spirit.
It's easy to point fingers at what is wrong for the Church, but can we look inward and say that we are not really just living unto ourselves? What new believers are we discipling into a knowledge and understanding of their inheritance in Christ? Or are we relegating this responsibility to Church programs? - Denny Cline
Through high praise we destroy the plans of the enemy and bring to earth new realms of Glory not yet revealed. As we continue Heavenward, we are breaking the constraints of the natural realm and shaking off old paradigms. - Keith Miller
"Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand.." Psalm 149:6
A powerless kingdom is no kingdom at all. There is no kingdom without power. Power takes territory. - John Belt
Prayer: I am a warrior for the Kingdom of God and will remain faithful and obedient to do all that You ask of me. Empower me, Lord, to be all that I can be through the Blood of Jesus. I will remain in unity with Your Word and Your directives, properly positioned as Joshua, so that I can discern a "noise" of war over a "sound" from Heaven. In Jesus' might name. Amen - Sandie Freed
