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 am not designed to drift - I am designed for destiny.
Those who know their God will be strong and do great exploits. Move beyond your comfort zone into your destiny in Christ Jesus. - John Belt
We experience a moment at some point in our faith whereby we feel overwhelmed by circumstances before us and we have that assurance in Romans 8:31-39 that would set us firmly on His destiny path for us. - Catherine Brown
"Faced with all this, what can we say? If God is for us, who can be against us? Who can condemn God's own people? Who, then, can separate us from the love of Christ?" - Romans 8:31,33,35
Some of us have found ourselves relying on methods that worked in seasons past more than seeking something new from God that requires a NEW equipping for a NEW outpouring. God is doing a NEW work that will require steps of faith into uncharted territory. - Garris Elkins
Walking in the anointing leads us outward, away from ourselves to what the anointing can do for us, to paths of service, ministry, and our destiny. - Mahesh Chavda
Affirmation: The Spirit shows me what I should pray for and makes intercession for me.
Don't make prayer a formula. Let it always be fresh, not mechanical. Let the Spirit lead you each time, how to pray and what to pray for. - Steve Sampson
Our best days are yet to come! God sent us to do a job and we're going to reap because He is the one who sent us to do it! When we launch out at His Word, we're going to catch what we need to catch, even in some instances where we've not labored. - Sean Smith
"As the Father has sent me, even so I send you." - John 20:21
Plead the honor and glory of God's name. Throughout the Bible, this is one of the main appeals that intercessory priestly people made before God. They reminded God of His name and glory and appealed for Him to act on behalf of His name. - James Goll
When the worship leader or pastor steps up to a microphone and says, "It's time to pray," or "It's time to worship," we should know that in that moment the eternal law of sowing and reaping is activated. - Tommy Tenney
Affirmations: The Lord wants me to rooted in Him, not rooted in my idea about Him.
If it's an encounter with God, something will be changed in you. And also, as you behold Him, you can understand and believe for the manifestation of who He is in that particular dimension. For instance, if He shows Himself to you as mighty, you can begin to believe to operate out of His might. - Keith Miller
Our Eternal Lover lures us back regularly into His presence with anticipation and delight. We are glad to waste time with God, for we are pleased with the company. - Richard Foster
"My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God...- Psalm 42:2
Let us realize that the energies we expend in keeping our sins secret are the actual "materials" of which a stronghold is made. The demon you are fighting is using your thoughts to protect his access to your life. - Francis Frangipane
How soon we lose sight of all the miracles He has performed to bring us the victories we have already been given. - Victoria Boyson
