Be steadfast. Don’t quit, give up or walk away from living for Jesus as your Savior. Keep focused on living for Jesus Christ as your Savior. Don’t waiver from the plan.
Being steadfast is not following your feelings. Feelings often change and are affected by moods, good days, bad days, and other circumstances.
Being steadfast is knowing what the game plan is and doing it regardless of moods or circumstances.
The plan? Live for Jesus. Romans 12:12, “ rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer;”
It is not giving up, being hopeless, impatient during tough times, and not praying. Praying is your connection to God. Your words, your prayers, connects you to God who has everything you need.
My father Dick Mills spoke to hundreds of thousands of people in his lifetime. I never heard him complain about traveling, speaking, and being gone so much of the time. He came home and fueled up so he could pour out every week. He filled himself with the Word of God so that what He spoke was inspired by God’s Promises.
Filling himself with God’s Word, Presence and Power was the only way he could then minister God’s Word, have God’s Presence and Power while he ministered.
He felt God had given him directions (the game plan) what to do with his life, and he followed through. But he had to continually fill himself, to do what God was leading him to do.
God has given you direction how to live. Rejoice, be hopeful. Hope means hoping and not giving up because of impatience, upset, disillusionment, loss and heartache. (Romans 12:12)
Do you constantly feel hopeless?
God said, “Be hopeful.” That means being hopeless is making our situation, our life, our circumstances take precedence over God’s Word. We can’t do that.
We are to be patient in hard times. That patience only comes when you have your eyes focused on God, His timing, His purpose, and not how you think things should play out.
Be steadfast in prayer. Pray until there is a change. Pray until you get an idea, or wisdom how to deal with a hard situation, pray until the breakthrough comes. If the problem is big, pray big. Pray in Jesus Name, come against any powers of darkness that are in. your way and command them to go.
I’ve also prayed and asked God ‘why?’ Why am I waiting? What do I need to do for there to be a change? I’ve asked the Lord to show me if there is something I am doing or saying that is blocking the prayer from being answered.
As soon as I’ve prayed, and I know what I feel He is saying to me, or I get an idea, or a thought, I follow that and (usually have to repent), pray more, ask God to change me and change my situation.
Do What I Need to Do
*I pray that God will let me see what I need to see so I can do what I need to do. When you are desperate to hear from God and get a breakthrough you will pray longer, read your Bible more, fast (I’ll be honest, I personally don’t like fasting!) and do desperate things to hear from God!
How much do you need to hear from God? A lot! We all do.
Resist the Devil
James 4:7,8, “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
God touched many people throughout my fathers’ lifetime. He was able to minister, pray and compassionately give from the reservoir God had placed within him.
You too have a reservoir.
Whatever is poisonous like un-forgiveness, being cynical, hateful, hard hearted, disgusted, has to be surrendered to the Lord. The Lord brings healing and wholeness in the midst of brokenness. He also strengthens you when you let go. Surrendered.
Why surrendered? Because those are attitudes that block the move of God’s power and His Presence.
“God I don’t feel like letting go, but I let go, I surrender, I forgive. God help me.”
And you know what? God is waiting for that kind of prayer. That is the prayer that opens the door to Him doing something in your heart and in your life.
Coming Soon is a New Course – Faith Anchored (in Jesus) – Spiritual Strength Starts with Preparation. It will begin the first week of the year. Starting the year strong with a game plan is wise, and it gives us something to work towards. PRE-REGISTER HERE ($47.00)
We often make goals at the beginning of the year. This is a goal to strengthen your inner core, your faith, giving you biblical principles and processes to be equipped spiritually. Rather than hoping for a good year, the steps in this course (and workbook) will give you a scriptural game plan. You won’t need to wonder where to start or how to begin, this course will walk you through steps that a beginner in Christ, or seasoned believer can adapt to their lives to strengthen themselves in the Lord, equip themselves with God’s plan to be Anchored in their Faith. It takes preparation, and you will find a workable course of action you can adapt to your time line, schedule, and day to day life.
Through my experiences and insights, I hope to inspire and equip you to deepen your own relationship with God, empowering you to face life’s storms with grace and unwavering faith.
Take the first step towards a stronger, more resilient faith today. You can pre-register and purchase my course on Faith Anchored in Jesus Christ . There will be 6 training modules, video teachings, and a workbook that you can instantly download.
Pre-registration will get you signed up and you will begin receiving the outline for the course and workbook module downloads the week after Christmas. The Course is $47.00. It is filled with so many good things that are a much deeper study and focus on being spiritually equipped, spiritually prepared so that inner collapse is avoided in your daily walk with the Lord as a believer.
To God Be All the Glory,
Deborah (Mills) Booth
