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)

"'Come,' He said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus…" Matthew 14:29

Are you feeling the pull to step out of your comfort zone?

This pull is from God, as He's inviting you outside of your norm. It could be something you are scared to do. God is leading you to trust Him in your discomfort.

If you're feeling stretched, like you're coming up against uncomfortable situations, or like God is inviting you into risk --Take a step of faith!

There are things that He has purposed for you (your calling in Christ); there are things the Lord wants to strengthen you to believe for again -- set your vision higher. In His glory and power, there is no limitation. Because of His inexhaustible supply, you can see limits lifted off. You can see great and mighty things take place because of the measureless realm of God.

Push past your fear in order to allow God to lead you into new realms! Remember His promises. He is faithful!
