Luke 14:27 - "And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple."
Matthew 16:24 - "Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me."
How do you die to self?

Answer: We rest in Christ by leaving the flesh life and ascend into the Christ life, ie we replace the flesh life with the Life in Christ.

Philippians 2:12 - "Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling,"

1. Start by interceding in prayer for those lost souls and Believers that God would put in your life to disciple into salvation or their Christ identity.
2. Build a list of people you are praying for.
3. Be constantly talking to new people you have never talked to before. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you a word of knowledge about their spiritual need.
4. Ask them if they would like to know more about Jesus -- or ask them if they would like to know more about Jesus' finished work on the cross and their inheritance in Christ.
5. By continuing to do these things you will build your Christ consciousness and develop a spiritual hunger that you previously lacked.
6. This is how the Holy Spirit crucifies your self-life.
7 You will wake up one day and discover your lack of interest in the self life The Holy Spirit will begin to crucify all of those agendas that you thought were important.

John 15:5 - "I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing."

8. You cannot crucify your self life. It takes a commitment to your oneness with Christ coupled with the aforementioned action.
