DYING TO SELF
And HE said to them all, if any man will come after ME, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow ME.
The only people who can genuinely follow CHRIST and have authority over satan are those who choose to go to the cross, to have themselves and their sins nailed to the cross and die to self.
Since it is impossible to please GOD with the flesh, it is very important to crucify the flesh daily if you really desire to follow CHRIST. Paul said : I die daily (1 Corinthians 15:31).
This means that your will, emotions, desires, ambition, etc will no longer matter to you any more but the will of GOD.
That point where you stop thinking about where you want to go and what you want to be, but about where GOD wants you to go and what God wants you to be.
Everyone has his or her own ambitions and expectations in life, but when you want to follow CHRIST you need to put all away and seek that of CHRIST.
The greatest obstacle for the fulfilment of GOD'S purpose for us is our own will.
What I want and not what GOD wants for me. You may wear what you don't want to wear or eat what you don't want to eat if you follow HIM.
This is very difficult but it can only be done by the help of the HOLY SPIRIT.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die... (John 12:24). You must fall and die for the CHRIST in you to come out.
Receive grace to follow HIM now!
(Romans 6:6)

To live for God is to forsake our desires and aspirations, then follow the path of righteousness in Christ Jesus
Finding out my purpose in life is God's purpose for me.
So we must leave everything and follow God, let him be the one to guide our terms and purposes, follow his will without ties, he is first of all in our lives.
