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)

2 Corinthians 4:8,9 - "We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed."

Many Believers have endured major battles the past few years, and you may have felt like things have taken a turn for the worst. Although your life may seem to be a battleground, you have actually been on a training ground, equipping you for the next chapter of your life. While it may have seemed like its been a constant struggle, the Lord has actually been building strength, resilience, and perseverance in you.

Believe that every stone that's been hurled against you will be used as a stepping stone to take you to the next level. Every fiery dart and lie that came against you will boomerang back to the sender. Every challenge that you faced will be used as a testimony for others to be set free. Every battle that you went through taught you how to endure trials. God is about to restore everything that was stolen. He is the God of restoration, and He is about to step in and turn your situation around for His glory.
