Cynical? Time to Repent and Get Your Heart Right
Do you ever feel like you have a cynical response to things? When people preach or teach that God answers prayers and He is the God of miracles…you have a cynical response to what they’re saying? In your head?

I want to strengthen your faith with His Word. But sometimes we need to say “God I’m sorry, help me believe.”
In fact repenting is always necessary when we serve God. It gets rid of things in your heart and soul and makes room for what God wants to do.

Too much clutter keep God from adding anything.
Anything He’s purposed and planned for you.
Cynicism can look small but it grows big.
A simple thing I do every day is to say:
God I believe in you, I believe you are faithful and true (psalm 145:13-15)I know you are not a liar (Numbers 23:19), I trust what you say. Help me God(Isaiah 41:10).
And I depend daily. Of attitudes, comments that didn’t need to be said, thoughts that were filled with the opposite of what God says to think about (Philippians 4:7,8)

Today is the time to pray, repent and ask God to show you what you need to know.
Quit wasting time in what doesn’t matter, what is toxic to your heart your health and your emotions. (3 John 2)
God wants you to choose Him, choose to live for Him in all the right ways.
Being cynical is different than using sound judgement, having discernment and assessing a situation to make a wise decision.
Cynicism is assuming God won’t do for you what He’s already promised. It’s negating your prayer, and your hopes in God. That He really won’t answer your prayer or help you in this season. You prayed before and He didn’t answer or you didn’t get the outcome you hoped for.
But we always have to go back to what God says, what He’s promised in His Word and use that as our standard. Then we have to align our thoughts with what God says. He hasn’t changed and He hasn’t fallen short. He is faithful and He is trustworthy.

I remember recently fussing with God about a prayer that hadn’t been answered and I was frustrated at having to wait for the answer. It was ridiculous to me at the time I spent thinking about the situation that continued to be the same. No breakthrough, no answer, circumstances stayed the same.
Frustrated about thinking over the situation how it was just paused. The Lord spoke very clearly to me. He reminded me that I had fussed a lot in my thoughts, at Him, about this situation, but really I hadn’t prayed. I was thinking “What?”
He reminded me of every conversation (fussing, being angry, lousy attitude ) in my head but no prayer.
Yikes.
If I would’ve prayed my attitude would’ve been much different.
There’s a humbleness that comes with prayer. Asking God to change a situation, then saying to God “not my will be done but yours.”
When praying over a situation that has stalled I’ve learned over the years to declare God’s scriptures over my specific situation. It’s like planting a seed for a specific crop that you want to see the harvest.
I pray specific scriptures over specific challenges, scriptures on finances when there’s lack and there’s not enough, scriptures on healing when they’re sickness and disease.

I always want to share these stories in hopes of helping someone grow and have a deeper faith in the Lord.
God is working on your behalf. He’s promised to answer when you call (Jeremiah 33:3), and He’s promised to strengthen and help you today. (Isaiah 41:10).

I believe God has more for you, and it’s time to make room in your heart, soul and spirit for more. (Ephesians 3:20).

Invite Him Into the Boat
Invite Him Into the Boat
“They willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.” — John 6:21 (NKJV)
There’s a moment in the Gospel of John where a group of exhausted, storm-tossed disciples do one simple thing — they let Jesus into the boat. And everything changes at once.
The disciples set out across the Sea of Galilee expecting an ordinary crossing. They were experienced fishermen, on familiar water, headed somewhere they’d been before.The Storm They Didn’t See Coming

Then the storm rose up.
For hours they fought it — straining at the oars, watching the far shore stay just as distant as when they’d started.Exhausted. Straining. Getting nowhere, no matter how hard they rowed.

Maybe you know that feeling. The nights that stretch on longer than they should. The effort that doesn’t seem to move you an inch closer to where you’re trying to go.What God Did in the Middle of It
In the middle of their struggle, Jesus came to them — walking on the very water that was working against them.
And the moment they welcomed Him into the boat, two things happened at once: the storm stopped, and the boat arrived at the shore. Not eventually. Immediately.
Jesus walked towards them The Storm Stopped
They didn’t just survive the night. They got there faster than their own strength ever could have carried them.
What This Means for Us Today
Maybe you’ve been rowing for what feels like forever — in a marriage, a calling, a health struggle, a business, a long season of waiting — and the shore doesn’t seem any closer no matter how hard you work at it.
This story reminds us the answer was never “row harder.” It was “invite Him in.”
When we willingly receive Jesus into our storm, He doesn’t just calm the wind. He can move us straight to where He’s already planning to take us — in a way our own effort never could reach on its own.
Whatever storm you’re in tonight, you were never meant to weather it alone.An Encouraging Word
He sees the distance you’ve already covered, and the distance still ahead — and He is already walking toward you, across the very thing that’s working against you.
Receive Him into the boat. Let Him get you to shore.

Matthew 11:28, “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation].” (AMP)

It All Matters
Did you know that it all matters? What you’ve faced, suffered and walked through matters.

The pivotal part of Psalm 66:12 says “but you brought us out to a place of abundance.”
It matters even more than God is bringing you out.
John 10:0 “for I have come that
you might have life and life
more abundantly.”
An abundant life is filled with the goodness of God. How do you know what that looks like without knowing His promises?

ENJOYING GOD’S BLESSINGS
A Bible Study on Receiving, Walking In, and Enjoying What God Has Given
Core Theme

God does not call His people to merely endure life—He calls them to trust Him, walk with Him, and enjoy the fruit of what He provides.
Yet many believers struggle to step into that place of rest and enjoyment.
This study addresses that tension.
1. THE PROBLEM CHRISTIANS FACE
Many believers are:
- Faithful, yet weary
- Blessed, yet unable to enjoy it
- Provided for, yet still striving
- Walking with God, yet lacking peace
Root Issues
- Constant striving instead of resting in God
- Fear of loss or uncertainty about the future
- Feeling unworthy of blessing
- Neglecting the spiritual discipline of gratitude
- Living in survival mode instead of promise-awareness
There is often a disconnect between:
What God has given and what the believer is experiencing- But the good news is the Blessing of the Lord involves rich fulfillment.

2. THE TRUTH: GOD INTENDS FOR YOU TO ENJOY HIS PROVISION
Isaiah 65:22 (NKJV)
“My elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.”

God’s intention is not temporary relief—it is sustained enjoyment of what He establishes in your life.
1 Timothy 6:17 (NKJV)
“Trust in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.”
This is foundational:
- God is the giver
- The provision is rich
- The purpose includes enjoyment
Enjoyment is not worldly—it is God-ordained when rooted in Him.

Today is a good day to pause for a moment and thank God for what He has done for you.
Our tendency is often to focus on lack, unanswered prayers, upsetting circumstances….and then we let our mood determine our day rather than what God has already done for us.

But the Bible says that ‘the Joy of the Lord is your strength.’ Nehemiah 8:10
In order to be stronger in the Lord you have to take hold of His strength. And it is attached to joy.
It is time to be purposeful about your walk with the Lord and live stronger.
Not waiting for adverse situations to come and cause you to get off track. Decide ahead of time to live for Jesus, to walk with Him and be strengthened by His promises. This is a decision only you can make.
My new devotional that is a good word for each day gives you simple steps to take to be strong in the Lord.

Book Available HERE Realize you aren’t disregarding your situation rather you are plugging yourself into God’s strength like plugging a lamp into an electrical socket. The lamp doesn’t work without electricity.
You don’t work fully without the power and presence of God.
That is where your joy is found and that is where your strength is found.
Don’t go another day without it!

“God we thank you that today is the day you’ve made, we deliberately rejoice in it today. We have situations we need your help with, healing, miraculous breakthroughs, and wisdom. Lord your Word is the light for our dark circumstances that we face. You are withholding no good thing from us, so we know if we are in a rough season you haven’t left us, you are strengthening us and providing answers to the dilemmas we face. God thank you! We thank you for the blessings you’ve already given us and We praise you, giving you ALL the glory and honor.”
In the Mighty Name of Jesus, the Name above every name.
Amen!
To God Be All the Glory,

Happy Father’s day
We want to honor you and appreciate you today.

Dick Mills family God created fathers to love, protect, give direction and to lead and we are grateful for that.
Galatians 6:9, “be not weary in well doing for you will reap a harvest if you don’t faint (give up).
You are in charge of keeping yourself fit for the battle, strong for each day. Strengthen yourself simply by putting God’s Word inside of you.

I wanted to share a personal story with you. My father Dick Mills-had a big call on his life and that was to give a good word to everyone he came in contact with in his lifetime.
That ended up being hundreds of thousands of people.
He would give a word that would fill them up, restore, and refuel their passion for living for God. It stirred the fire in their spirit. Never demeaning but life giving.
God’s Word brings purpose for what He is calling you to do. It brings vision, meaning and hope. The presence of God burns within our spirit and stirs a fire that should never go out.
His Word is powerful and it will renew your spirit and your strength.

We believe that we must run this race to win. And you must run the race, not to grow weary but run the race to cross the goal line.
Every athlete and team player practices and is coached to be competitive and to grow in ability and skill.
There are days, weeks and months of endless practicing. But it leads to a strategic moment.

Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com That moment is to win. To throw the ball and it sinks in the basket. Or the ball is hit with a bat outside the stadium.
And when the football crosses the goal line.
People live for those moments. But it takes a lot of unseen moments before the win takes place. There are losses as well.

All of the continuous running, training, and competition leads to victory.
At Dick Mills Ministries- A Good Word for You, we believe everyone can experience that win.
It is all about Jesus. All of this life is about a supernatural life with Jesus.
You are the reason we want to give a good word. A word of hope and growing your faith. So you don’t grow weary.
Ever.
A powerful Word from God for every person in every nation.

This is the main reason we felt God speaking to us to pick up the ball and run towards the goal. To continue giving a good word, empowering people, directing people towards God and offering a way to be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Every person-
in
Every nation –
We are growing our reach and we believe all men should come to the Lord. They have to hear the gospel before they’ll come.
Join us as we share the “Good Word of the Gospel” with every person in every nation.
It is a big vision but we serve a Big God.
Happy Father’s day!

Break, breaking, breakthrough –


The stories show what to do during the waiting period, revealing that breakthrough is a process as well as an end result. The good news is that God is “Emmanuel, God with us.” (Merriam-Webster).

If you’ve ever struggled with what God‘s plan is for your life, I have found these great scriptures that point To God’s plan and purpose for your life.
It isn’t just full of random plays, like throw the ball, kick here, or run the ball activities and let’s hope for the best! No coach does that.








But Scripture reminds us that our stability is never meant to come from what surrounds us.
Notice David didn’t say life would never be difficult.


Proverbs 3:5-6
We analyze situations, calculate outcomes, worry about possibilities, and attempt to figure everything out ourselves.
