Now, if you missed doing this, it's not too late. Try to find one to three days this month, in addition to your corporate or individual fasts to lay before the Lord, specifically, concerning your life plan as He sees it. Here are some tips for going through the process (Keep pen and journal handy):
1-Start with praise and thanksgiving for all He has done and has already designed for you. Bombard heaven with thanksgiving because no matter what happened in 2013, you're still here and have the ability to advance the Kingdom for the Lord. Love on God, because He's loved on you whether you see how He has or not.
2-Read aloud scriptures of significance to you and those that will help you get your mind in the mode of obedience to God's word. Obedience is the key to any success in God. Some examples are Matthew 6 and 7, John 15:1-10, 14:21, James 1 and 4.
3-Empty out yourself, your desires and ambitions, and ask God to fill you with more of His Spirit and His desires for you. Pray in the Spirit until you feel the glory of the Lord resting upon you.
4-Now, if He begins to speak at any point in the process, LISTEN, DOCUMENT and UNDERSTAND. Get the revelation on His word. He will make it plain to you as you diligently seek His face. Be prepared for Him to pour out as He has your full attention. He may lead you to other scriptures. Follow His leading.
5-Stay there (not necessarily literally) until you have what you need. Stay consecrated before God for as many days as it takes for you to get the revelation you need to go forward with life. You wouldn't drive a school bus without having instructions because there are too many lives at risk including those of other's children. Likewise, your life impacts God's children everywhere including you. You don't want to error because you failed to get direction for how to be the gift that you are to God's Kingdom. Live purposefully, not recklessly. Every moment of life has great value.
6-Pray until you feel a shift in your mind and spirit. Even after the Lord has revealed some things. Keep worshipping and praising Him for the revealing His divine plans to you.
7- After revelation, document a plan for how to get to where God said you are to go. Even in this you still seek His direction and revelation: When to do which parts, Who to work with, Where to find the resources, etc.
8- Once you are done, live life with a focus on achieving the goals of your God-directed plan. No matter where you are and everywhere that you go, keep praise and worship in your heart and on your lips.
This is just a brief summary of a proven process. So, I pray God richly bless and keep you. That your mind would be renewed through His written and spoken Word, that you would grab a hold to the Kingdom and not let go and that the glory of God would continually rise upon you all year long. I pray that God will assist you at every turn as you move forward in obedience to His instructions and that you will fall more deeply in love with God than you've ever been before. That you will see He is the true lover of your soul and that from His love you learn how to properly love others. To God (Father, Son and Holy Ghost) be all glory honor and praise, now and forevermore!!
