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)

Everything has already been provided by God and given to you. In Him, you have obtained an inheritance (1 Peter 1:4). HAVING BELIEVED, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. The inheritance is there in Heaven's bank, waiting for a withdrawal. You can now go forth in the power of His might (Ephesians 6:10) through your Christ calling (Ephesians 4:1).

God is saying that you have been and are sitting on a goldmine, on a heavenly vault full of treasure. You are sitting on everything God has provided for you -- although oblivious to it. Have you stopped hearing the knocking on your door (Revelation 3:20)? The treasure is yours; you take it by faith, and you receive it by faith.

You are meant to come into your full inheritance in your Christ identity. In Him, you reign. Another dimension is calling, beckoning to you to live as a son (daughter) of God! You are a king and priest of your God (Revelation 1:6 KJV). You are to rise up and reign with Him in this life.

Things are about to shift rapidly and accelerate. The day of sorrow and weeping has become the day of faith and strength. The suddenlies of God are upon you. You have been prepared, qualified, and made ready for this, and God is announcing the release. Heavenly trumpets are sounding (Revelation 8:2), calling the army divisions to get into position and take their place. You are moving out onto holy ground, hence the past is no longer a millstone around your neck.

"But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:13,14)
