## Resource

When you face overwhelming trials, it is easy to let your emotions pull you in a hundred different directions. In this dynamic teaching, Melinda Carroll maps out the biblical framework for developing spiritual tenacity, or what she calls "staying power." Drawing from the life of Moses, powerful insights from her mentor Norville Hayes, and a daily index-card prayer strategy from Karen Wheaton, Melinda reminds us that God's promises are completely backed by the honor of His name. If you are ready to stop operating in "lazy faith" and start seeing radical manifestations in your health, family, and finances, this episode will equip you to stand firm until the resistance breaks. -- You must put God's word above your fluctuating emotions, pulling yourself back in to ask Him for direction and standing entirely on what He has written. -- True persistence is a firm continuance in your course of action despite heavy difficulty or opposition, requiring you to remain on the straight path without drifting left or right. -- God detests lazy faith; spiritual breakthroughs demand that we look steadily into the perfect law of liberty and actively become doers of the word, not just forgetful hearers. -- Daily meditation on Scripture acts as a protective shield that sustains your physical health, guards your heart against pride, and aligns your life with prosperous success. -- Actively applying the word of God to bad reports, such as physical diagnoses or family crises, shifts circumstances and forces demonic resistance to eventually fracture.
