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)

This is a time to free yourself ( so you gain access for the future. God is ready to bring you in so you can go to war again (Jeremiah 46:16) -- declare that you will rise in declaration of your Kingdom authority!

You've been hiding out (1 Samuel 10:22). You've been pulling away, but He knows where you are, and He's pulling you back in a new way. Quit backing away and resisting -- be pulled in and let Him adjust your Christ vision for the future. This is a time of placement.

Don't bow down to the enemy that would try to come and take back what he thought he owned. This is an hour to move forward and watch Him release His glory in a new way. This is not the end; this is the beginning of a new day for you. The portion that He has given you will be occupied with His glory (Psalm 24:7).

He is calling you to change your garment this season, for the places you will walk will need to have favor. Take off the garment of heaviness and wear favor. You've agreed with false humility for far too long. If it is in your boundaries, then it belongs to you. Wear favor this hour -- apprehend the ascended life as you live from Heaven. Approve the will of God (Romans 12:2) by asking, seeking, and knocking until you understand and implement His purpose for your life -- then take new territory for the Kingdom of God.
