It is serving God and others persistently with full heart and soul that turns testimony of truth into unbreakable spiritual strength.
You will notice that the work is simple obedience. It is not complicated things, it is not fancy things or getting great spiritual manifestations. This work is within the abilities of the most humble and the least educated.
We need continuing communication from god. One stream of light is not enough.
The first, the middle and the last thing to do is to pray.
We know the Lord makes His servants bold. The young boy Joseph who saw God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, in a grove of trees was transformed into a spiritual giant.
Increased spiritual strength is a gift from God which He can give when we push in His service to our limits. Through the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, our natures can be changed. Then our power to carry burdens can be increased more than enough to compensate for the increased service we will be asked to give.
However much faith to obey God we now have, we will need to strengthen it continually and keep it refreshed constantly. We can do that by deciding now to be more quick to obey and more determined to endure. Learning to start early and to be steady are the keys to spiritual preparation. Procrastination and inconsistency are its mortal enemies.
Although his time is not always our time, we can be sure that the lord keeps his promises.
Don't worry about how inexperienced you are or think you are, but think about what, with the Lord's help, you can become.
If we have faith in Jesus Christ the hardest as well as the easiest times in life can be a blessing.
Acting on even a twig of faith allows God to grow it.
Every person is different and has a different contribution to make. No one is destined to fail.
'You better do a lot of praying' is good counsel for all of the Lord's servants, new or seasoned. It is what His wise servants do. They pray. The disciples of Jesus Christ when He lived on the earth noticed that about Him.
What we want with all our hearts will determine in large degree whether we can claim our right to the companionship of the Holy Ghost, without which there can be no spiritual nourishing.
