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 rise above the pressures of time and walk in the eternal life of God.
It is time to shed some old stuff and step into those new things God has for you. Don't try beating against a door already closed. Just trust God to open the new one for you! - Keith Miller
To pray is to know God by practicing his presence; and this is to live in reality (for God is really present), instead of in the fantasy worlds we construct in our own minds, in which God is absent. - Peter Kreeft
"This is eternal life: that they know thee, the only true God." - John 17:3
As Christ dwells in your heart by faith, there is within you a divine force, the power of limitless possibilities. God wants to do great things through you. - Smith Wigglesworth
Most Christians are living so far below what God intended for them that when someone begins to live a normal Christian life (in the power of the Holy Spirit), they think he's abnormal. We will be successful when we not only build our faith, but destroy our doubts. - Andrew Wommack
Affirmation: I know that if I measure everything by what has happened in my past, I will never grow beyond it. My confidence rests in what God has said.
When the Spirit has come to reside in someone, that person cannot stop praying; for the Spirit prays with ceasing in him. No matter if he is asleep or awake, prayer is going on in his heart all the time. - Isaac the Syrian
You have resurrection power attached to your prayer life! You can look to things that are absolutely dead and pray forth eternal LIFE! The same power in us is the same potency God demonstrated when He raised Jesus out of the grave. - Francis Frangipane
"His power at work in us who believe. This power in us is the same as the mighty strength which He used when He raised Christ form death...." - Ephesians 1:20
In my experience more people accept Christ and come to new life in Him through knowledge of "Who He is" rather than "why He died". This seems to come afterwards. - Ros Rinker
Be willing, even eager, to take the necessary risks to fulfill your call. The greater the demand placed upon you by your call the greater the grace place upon you by God! - Dennis Cramer
Affirmation: There is a move of God that is living in me and the Lord is eager for it to be released and bring glory to His name.
God is speaking today -- can you hear what He is saying? - Ivan Roman
There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful than that of a continual conversation with God. Those only can comprehend it who practice and experience it." - Brother Lawrence
"What no eye has see, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived, what God has prepared for those who love him." - 1 Corinthians 2:9
The Holy Spirit is easily stirred: praise and worship stir Him, A thankful heart stirs Him. Intense prayer stirs Him. - Steve Sampson
God, I long for You. I seek all that You have for me and all of You. Amen - William J. Seymour (March 1907)
