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: I step out of the box called "time" and live in the Spirit.
Remember, your calling potentially supplies you with all the spiritual abilities you will need to change lives and to wreck untold havoc on the devil, thus promoting God's kingdom in your generation. - Dennis Cramer
With the living Christ within me, how shall I bring a charge against my neighbor? If I will be the Lord's servant, when offended I must repeat Christ's prayer of the cross, "Father, forgive them: for they do not know what they are doing." (Luke 23, 34) - Francis Frangipane
Praise fixed firmly upon faith opens the door for God to work for you, in you, and through you. It allows Him to handle all the things in your life that you cannot. - Myles Munroe
Worship opens the way into the heart of God. Worship is capable of lifting you to a higher plane where you can have a divine change of perspective. - Tommy Tenney
Humility is not looking less and oneself; humility is not looking at oneself at all. - Watchman Nee
Affirmation: I have been given the highest of callings and everything I go through is intended to prepare me for it.
Did we wake up this morning in His presence? Did we go to work in close fellowship with Him? If not we are in a delusion -- a deception. The greatest truth, the only true reality, is God. If He actually lives in us, how can anything else steal our attention from Him. - Rick Joyner
"Eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy." - 1 Corinthians 14:1
Spiritual gifts are the only things we are told to covet, and prophetic gifting heads the list. Why? Because revelations given by the Holy Spirit personally and wonderfully edify other people. These utterances let them know that God is involved in their lives in a very intimate way. - Che Ahn
We are not locked into a preset, determinist future. Ours is an open, not a closed universe. We are "co-laborers with God," as the Apostle Paul put it - working with God to determine the outcome of events - Richard Foster
Your prayer must be turned inwards, not towards a God of Heaven nor towards a God far off, but towards God who is closer to you than you are aware. - Anthony Bloom
Affirmation: Breaking the power of natural law in my life happens when the Word of God unites with my measure of faith.
We need to rise up and release worship, intercession, and a song to the Lord to usher in an awakening to those floundering who need to be discipled (by us) into a higher truth. - Sean Feucht
Your time in communion with the Lord will raise you to that "Come up here, let me show you something you didn't know before" place for substantial breakthrough. - Keith Miller
"I saw a door open in heaven and heard the same voice speaking to me, the voice like a trumpet, saying. "Come up here: I will show you what is to come in the future." - Revelation 4:1
As we are transformed into the image of Christ, may our own wounds of love become portals in earthen vessels, allowing His glory to shine forth, mobilizing the light. As ambassadors for Christ, we sense that each wound "piercing our side" is truly an honor, sharing in His sufferings and allowing the Blood of Jesus to flow freely on the earth. - Patricia King
Sanctify me, Lord, with Your Spirit that I may be cleansed by Your blood and empowered to do Your bidding. Amen - William J. Seymour (May 1908)
