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)

"I am doing a new thing, do you see it? I am doing something brand new, something unheard of. Even now it sprouts and grows and matures. Do you see it." - Isaiah 43:19?

"I will pour refreshing water on the thirsty and streams on the dry ground. I will pour out My Spirit ..."Isaiah 44:3


Not only are you in a NEW ERA, where God is doing a NEW THING, but YOU ARE the new thing! Your greatest season of impact is NOW. The fresh touch of the Spirit upon your life is causing that which has been unseen to be seen, and that which has not been ready to suddenly be ripe.

The increase you asked for is here. Can you see it yet? The new thing you wanted; can you see it? Because He is shifting and moving every area of your life to accommodate the magnitude of it. He is enlarging your capacity to carry it, steward it, and run with it. He is challenging complacency and defeat so you can fully embrace it, and He is overturning the enemy's plans to keep you stagnant when you asked to thrive. But can you see it?"

Do you realize what God is preparing you for right now? Do you realize that you have been prepared and groomed for right now?
Are you hungry enough to allow God to dramatically interrupt your plans and usher in the new. The new is extremely inconvenient if you want to stay comfortable and not have to adjust every part of your life to it.

You are BREAKING OUT of the rut and into FRESH HOPE and a new day of wonder!

Will you pick up your torch again? Will you choose comfort or the great commission? Will you choose what you can control or that which cannot be tamed, only surrendered to? Will you say yes even when you do not know the full picture of what is ahead?
