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: My vision protects me from being misguided by good alternatives - It allows me to say no to lesser prospects, even if there are certain benefits to them.
As we experience and express the spiritual life and ministry that the Lord desires for us, we are changed, since now His life is flowing through us. - Wade Taylor
Jesus said to Peter -- "Feed My sheep." You have to be the nourishment for other souls until they learn to feed on God. We owe it to God to be our best for His lambs and His sheep as well as for Himself (discipleship). - Oswald Chambers
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations"... -Matthew 28:19
The enemy has attempted to fence in your destiny. In other words, he has built a fortress in many of our minds using circumstances to build an ungodly belief system. He will also attempt to build a fortress by using our past failures. - Sandie Freed
Can you imagine a major breakout of the glory of the Lord over your life? Be prepared to ascend the hill -- to climb to greater heights and cover more ground for the Kingdom that you ever though possible before. - Keith Miller
Affirmation: I arise and shine for my Light has come.
The Holy Spirit produces liberty and emancipation from the bondage of the past providing the hope of a glorious future in His rest. The Spirit is currently at work equipping and supplying us the life in freedom of advancing from glory to glory. - Paul Keith Davis
The heart of abiding faith "leans into God," anticipating His voice, looking for His next move. Like Jesus, we are to be able to say, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent me." (John 4:34) - Bill Johnson
We need to be awakened to the power of the Holy Spirit. He is our Helper, Comforter and Teacher. Even more, we need to know Him in His power. We need to be awakened to that surpassing power of what God has already abundantly deposited within us as sons of God. - John Belt
Silence before the Word leads to right hearing and thus also to right speaking of the Word of God at the right time. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Affirmation: Jesus calls me to a higher love, to embrace the burning and passionate heart of God.
Can you not give God just one minute? The first minute of each hour? One part of our sixty? Is that too much of a Sabbath rest for you? - Peter Kreeft
The heart of prayer is to connect with God and communicate with Him. Whereas, the heart of intercession is to bear someone else's burden. - T. A. Lewis
"Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." - Galatians 6:2
We are working with God to determine the future! Certain things will happen in history if we pray rightly. We are to change the world by prayer. - Richard Foster
If I am to experience God's presence, I must engage in more definite and persevering prayer. - Andrew Murray
