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 growth of my faith is not like the growth of natural things that have built-in limitations.

Jesus teaches us that the only way we can position ourselves to see our promises fulfilled is by refusing to define ourselves according to anything but what God has said about us. - Bill Johnson
"The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from from the law of sin and death." - Romans 8:2
Speaking powerfully requires that you maintain an inner atmosphere of liberty. You have to be free of human pressures to flow with God's Spirit. - Sean Smith
We are not completely full until Christ is so formed in us that He overflows through our life with great demonstrations of heavenly power and glory! - Ryan Wyatt
Affirmation: I draw closer, week by week, to knowing and loving Jesus Christ.
Dying to our own ways through the grace of Christ opens windows to our own eternal transformation. - Henri Nouwen
The fight of faith is to fight to believe that you are made righteous by faith and not by works. - Joseph Prince
"For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. - 2 Corinthians 5:21
Small blessings we receive from God are a special test of our heart; He wants to know if we will be thankful even for the smallest gift. - Victoria Boyson
If one is not experiencing the victorious Christian life, it is either because he is not born again or because he has not been well DISCIPLED in the full Gospel of Jesus Christ. - Watchman Nee
