THE LORD CONFIRMS HIS WORD WITH SIGNS FOLLOWING

THE LORD CONFIRMS HIS WORD WITH SIGNS FOLLOWING

This event happened in 2015 when the Lord confirmed to me the stress-releasing power of the Word of God. I was grinding on some fiberglass sculptures. It was really hard work; there was lots to do, and we were in a rush to get the project done. I was taking it way too personally, as if I had to get it all done by myself, and I was stressing out. There were only two of us working on it, and my partner was feeling sick, so he wasn’t able to work as quickly as usual.

 

My arms were getting so sore from grinding, and I noticed that my shoulders were super tense. I had them raised up by my ears in a tight and pinching way. Mentally and emotionally, I was worrying and stressing out, questioning whether I could keep this up. Was this going to end in total failure?

 

Then I remembered the scripture Jane and I repeat every morning in prayer: “And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing” (Isa. 10:27).  The Lord Jesus told me to physically put my shoulders down. I let them ease down as the next thoughts rolled in: “This is not my responsibility. The burden is off my shoulders.”

 

For the rest of the day, I continued grinding, and the whole time my physical shoulders were at ease, relaxed. At the end of the day, the painting boss came over and told me he was sending all his guys over to help with the grinding so we could get the project done on time. It was amazing. I thanked the Lord for what happened.

 

From that time on, I noticed that I stopped the mental stressing, and my shoulders stayed at rest. The few times I started to hunch them up, I quoted the scripture again from Isaiah 10:27, and they instantly released. The “burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder.”

 

To literally have my shoulders relax back down from being hunched up around my ears was a sign—a confirmation that I was truly released from all the stress.

 

In the next week and a half of work, there were more opportunities to get stressed, but my shoulders weren’t hunching. I believed that the burden had been removed just like Isaiah10:27 says, and I had a physical confirmation that I was free mentally and emotionally, and it was GREAT!

 

From that one incident back in 2015, I learned a lesson I’ve used over and over in situations where I would have gotten stressed: physically put your shoulders down in a relaxed position, and claim Isaiah 10:27. It really works.

 

As Christians, we should be expecting righteous signs and confirmations. The Bible tells us that when Jesus gave instructions to His apostles to preach the gospel, “they went forth and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word with signs following” (Mark 16:20).

 

We often just hope we’re doing the right thing and never really ask about confirmation. But here it is in scripture saying that when the Lord works with us, He also confirms His word so that we can see the results. We have a relationship with God, and our Lord Jesus, where we can ask for confirmation. And here it is in scripture saying that He is totally able and WILLING to do it! “He confirms with signs following.” What an exciting and reassuring promise!

 

As I was thinking about the Lord confirming what the Bible says, God showed me that even Mary needed to get some confirmation about what the angel told her about having the Christ child. She went to visit her cousin, and sure enough, Elisabeth confirmed the angel’s words with a prophecy over Mary: “Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb…that the mother of my Lord should come to me” (Luke 1:42-43).

 

Mary believed in her spirit, but it was only after Elisabeth’s confirmation that Mary got her soul in line and, in her entirety, really truly believed. “And Mary said, ‘My soul doth magnify the Lord” (vs. 46). Her mind, emotions, and decisions were now settled and in solid agreement. (Read Luke 1:26 – 56).

 

The Lord Jesus confirmed that the work burden was off my shoulders. He gave me the physical sign of releasing those tight shoulder muscles. Mary, the mother of Jesus, got a confirmation in the form of a prophecy from a relative.

 

The Lord knows that sometimes we have difficulty hearing and believing the things spiritually said to us and done for us, so he gives us confirmation, which is a promise we can learn to ask for and expect. What was done for the apostles is for us too: “The Lord working with them and confirming the word with signs following” (Mark 16: 20).

 

I pray that as we do our best to live and preach the good news of Jesus this week, we will see God’s wonderful confirmations in our own lives, too. Have a great week.

JOY IN THE MORNING

 JOY IN THE MORNING

I wrote about the following incident a few years ago, but the message is still pertinent for current times:

It was a horrible day at work. I’m glad I didn’t let my mouth say what was blaring in my head. At least I had that much self-control. I could have flattened someone in about a minute with the words no one got to hear. I tried just about everything I could do to stay calm, be reasonable, get the peace of God working in me, but it wasn’t working. I was angry beyond the circumstances, and I didn’t know why. I’m so glad it doesn’t happen very often, but when it does, I’ve learned to just hold my tongue and get through the day.

 

When I get in that state, I know it’s deeper than what’s just on the surface. It affects me so that I even forget to ask the Lord what’s going on. My emotions start ruling, so I’m not in a good receiving state to get the Lord’s solution either. But once I calm down, and I always do, He lets me know why I got so upset.

 

Sometimes it’s not even so much something inside me, as it is a reaction to the bigger atmosphere around me. Have you ever noticed that when the atmosphere around you gets agitated, you tend to get agitated as well? It’s contagious.

 

But one thing I always know is that God’s favor is on me, and David says in Psalm 30:5: “In his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” I’ve always found that to be true. The Hebrew word for “morning,” in this verse, can be translated “breaking forth of light.” The light of morning is the end of night and the darkness. Jesus tells us in John 8:12 that he is our light, “saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

 

In the next verse, David declares: “And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved” (Ps. 30:6). When we really trust the scripture, we will always be rich on the inside. To know that we can have a terrible day and that God will see to it that the next morning will be better is a true treasure. A big part of being prosperous is knowing and experiencing how fast God can turn things around for us.

 

When I calm down after a particularly rough day, I pray to the Lord that He will show me what happened and why. Even if I don’t find out all the answers right away, I know that when the light of Jesus comes, I will not only understand what happened, but I will know exactly what to do about it! That’s what it means to have a Lord who cares enough to always give us a Godly solution to any dilemma or trauma.

 

David was in a much worse situation than me. Time and time again, people were after him to kill him, and he not only had hope of joy in the morning, but he believed it with all his heart. He knew the value of joy in the morning after a bad day. We have so many things in our world that we can’t trust, but, like David, we can always trust our Almighty God that what He says is true.

 

“God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” (Num. 23:19).

 

If God says we can have joy in the morning, then we can. Who are we to argue with God? Wouldn’t that be sin? Rebellion?  

 

So, my lousy day ended, and I received answers as to why I reacted the way I did. I also know how to be prepared if the same type of demons try to set me up in similar circumstances. Now I am calm, thank God, and this day will be a great one! Remember this verse from Psalm 30:5 and apply it: “In his favor is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”

THE LORD OF SABAOTH STILL ROARS

THE LORD OF SABAOTH STILL ROARS

Yesterday at my weapons class, while my instructor was teaching me, the Lord Jesus was talking just as fast and pointing out the phrases that were super important to remember. Among them was, “We don’t say we want to kill them. What you are doing is stopping them from doing what they want to do!” Jesus quickly said to me, “That’s the right way to think,” and I turned to my instructor and said those exact words to him. I instantly thought about God as He is described in the Bible many times as “the Lord of Sabaoth, “the Lord of hosts.” If you look up the word “hosts” in the Concordance, you see that it is “that which goes forth, army, war, warfare, host

1.      army, host

1.      host (of an organised army)

2.      host (of angels)

3.      of sun, moon, and stars

4.      of whole creation

2.      war, warfare, service, go out to war.”

 

God doesn’t go out to war out of a motive of hatred, but instead, out of love for His people. He has righteous anger toward His and our enemies and gets furious when His people get hurt, oppressed, and treated wrongfully. We need to understand the truth about the Lord of Sabaoth.

 

Once in Chicago, before I knew how the Lord of Sabaoth works, my friend Jane and I were riding in the El Train and a girl who was much taller and bigger than me was sitting across from us. She got this evil look on her face and she started throwing lit cigarettes at Jane. I asked her to stop, which just got her doing it more. I didn’t hate the girl, didn’t want to kill her, but just wanted to stop her from what she wanted to do.

 

A fury came up in me that was not from me. I got up from the seat, grabbed this big tall girl by the front of her shirt and physically pushed her up against the wall. She stopped and that was the end of the story. We got off at the next stop.

 

Knowing about the Lord of Sabaoth is certainly not an excuse for justifying anger. The only way to really know if it’s your anger or God’s is to study the Lord of Sabaoth from the Bible and ask God to show you in your own life experience.

 

There are lots of examples in the Bible of how the Lord of Sabaoth works. Take the record of what happened with Sodom and Gomorrah as recorded in Genesis 18 and 19, for instance. Abraham’s nephew, Lot, was living there. He allowed all kinds of evil to take place, and he never stood against it. Finally, it got so bad that even the earth itself couldn’t take it. The Lord of Sabaoth, the Lord of hosts, was there, and only Lot and his children were saved. Paul states: “Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodom, and been made like unto Gomorrah” (Rom. 9:29). 

 

It was the Lord of Sabaoth, the Lord of hosts, behind the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the saving of Lot. Do you see both sides of the Lord of Sabaoth here? Yes! The Lord destroys the enemy and rescues His own. The hosts in this situation were the physical elements of destruction—fire and brimstone in and above the earth, and the angels that came to rescue Lot and his family.

 

Another example is with Noah: “And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Gen. 6:5). Man became so evil that he corrupted everything, including the earth itself. Man was given dominion over the earth, and sin continues to affect it in a destructive way. The Lord of hosts was there with the flood, to destroy the evil, and save Noah and his family. 

 

The following section of Psalms 18 describes to us a spectacular record of God working as the Lord of Sabaoth to rescue David from the oppression of evil men. He is willing to do the same for us.

 

David says:

 

“I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented [were before] me.

 

“In my distress, I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears. Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken because he was wroth.

 

“There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. He bowed the heavens also and came down: and the darkness was under his feet.

 

“And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind…. The Lord also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire…. He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me” (Ps. 18:3-17).”

 

Yes, there are times when things or people are too much for us. We can’t handle everything. Some things are too much for even the strongest of us, and God can only put up with so much abuse toward His people. It is then that the attributes of God as the Lord of Sabaoth go into high gear. 

 

So how does this apply today? The Lord of Sabaoth still roars. As Christians, we have God in Christ in us. That means that every aspect, every characteristic of God, is in us, including the Lord of Sabaoth. David didn’t have this.

 

God, in Christ, in an individual, wasn’t available in Old Testament times, but He is now. Think about it. Have you ever felt so angry that you could hardly contain it? I’m not talking about fleshly anger. I’m talking about a spiritual anger, a holy anger, an anger that rises up from deep inside you, an anger that is unusual, kind of just out of nowhere. You might even wonder, “Why am I sooo angry?” That’s the Lord of Sabaoth.

 

We’ve got to get to where we recognize the Lord of Sabaoth. If no one has the guts to allow the Lord of Sabaoth to operate, then the devil will just continue to walk all over God’s people and hurt them and abuse them just like with Lot, Noah, and David, and the devil will have the opportunity to win in their lives.

 

In Isaiah and Jeremiah, God says we are the watchmen on the towers of the city walls, there to watch and sound the alarm when the enemy comes against God’s people. In Ezekiel 22:30, God said He looked for someone to stand up for His people, but there was no one. Philippians 2:13 says: “For it is God which worketh in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure.” His good pleasure is to protect, save, and deliver, as well as give hugs and kisses. Adam didn’t protect the Garden of Eden. He was a wimp, and look what a mess became of that.

 

Paul tells us in Ephesians 4:26: “Be ye angry and sin not.” In the notes for The Companion Bible, E.W. Bullinger explains that the word “angry” is in the imperative mood, [which indicates a command or strong request], and it is a positive command showing that righteous indignation is referred to. We are to allow the Lord of Sabaoth to work in us and not be afraid of it or second-guess ourselves. We need to just let it fly, knowing that it is in love that we act, to defend, protect, and rescue. The Lord is willing to teach us how to know the difference between our own anger and His. Our part is to believe and step out in faith.

 

Recognizing and allowing the workings of the Lord of Sabaoth in our lives is an important aspect of our spiritual growth.

 

Love, Carolyn

OUR HEAVENLY FATHER’S BLESSINGS GO OVER THE TOP

My friend Hector came over after work one day to cut some of the branches off my mulberry trees—the ones that were hanging over the roof of the house. I was picturing maybe six branches max, but the Lord had something else in mind. Hector became God’s fulfillment of Ephesians 3:20 (CEB version): “Glory to God, who is able to do far beyond all that we could ask or imagine by his power at work within us.”

 

Hector stood back and looked at my trees with the eyes of an expert artist, and he began to sculpt away. By the time he was finished with the first tree, it was perfect AND... the pile of branches began to grow high. He cut, and I pulled the limbs and branches to the side and started making piles.

 

Then we started on the second tree, and this one presented a few more problems—dead branches at the top, crisscrossing branches, etc. So, Hector took off the major ones and came back a couple of days later to finish up.

 

Deuteronomy 28:2 tells us: “And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you.” That’s how I felt. I was given the ultimate tree-trimming job, when I only expected a few branches to be cut. I could picture Jesus standing there with a big smile on His face, saying, “That’s what I wanted, for my girl to be blessed and surprised, over the top!”

 

One of the Hebrew names used for God in the Old Testament is El Shaddai. It means the “God of more than enough.” And God delights in overflow. That’s what it was for me with the tree trimming, and I was so happy.

 

Psalm 23:5 says: “God preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: God anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.” It’s God’s delight to give us more than enough—to overflow us with spiritual anointings, supernatural wisdom, love, mercy, and much, much more. And many times, He’ll work through people who are willing to pass on His El Shaddai blessings.

 

I shed tears of joy thanking the Lord for sending me Hector to help me and do way more than I expected, in a truly El Shaddai way, to carry out God’s will to bless me. And of course, I thanked Hector too, with a nice big check and lunch for him and his wife. 😊

 

Have a great Father’s Day today, and take special notice of how our loving Father, in the aspect of El Shaddai, blesses your life this week.

 

Love, Carolyn

A TIP TO ENHANCING YOUR SUPERNATURAL EXPERIENCE EVERY DAY

A TIP TO ENHANCING YOUR SUPERNATURAL EXPERIENCE EVERY DAY

Genesis 24:40 is one of the scriptures I pray every morning. It gets me to expect the Lord to interact with me in a supernatural way every day, and He does.    

 

The context of this scripture is when Abraham wanted his servant to go back to Abraham’s homeland to find a wife for his son, Isaac. Abraham was sending his best servant, along with other servants, and camels loaded with riches for the dowry. It was well known that there were bandits along the route, and it could be a very dangerous trip.

 

We never know what a day can bring, but there’s a great thing God teaches us early on in the Bible, in Genesis 24:40. It’s a very important life-enriching key God wants us to believe and trust in.

 

Abraham’s servant arrives safely in Abraham’s homeland and tells the story of what Abraham told him before he left: “And he said unto me, ‘The Lord, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way’” (v. 24:40a).

 

We have angels available to us, too. And we have “Christ in us,” as it says in Colossians 1:27. God sent an angel ahead of the servant to “prosper” his way—no bandits stealing from him, no major injuries, but instead, a good and successful journey. Can you see why I pray this scripture every morning, for every day?!

 

But there’s another part of this scripture that is equally important to having a great journey. The second half says: “and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred, and of my father’s house’” (v. 24:40b). The servant did find the perfect wife for Isaac. Not only was the journey good, but he reached his Godly destination! Isn’t that what our hearts desire from our life experience every day—to reach our Godly destinations?

 

What the Almighty God made available to Abraham’s servant, is what he makes available to us today. God put this in the first book of the Bible for a reason, and He has not changed His mind about it one bit!

 

Here are just two incidents that happened this week, illustrating this important key of praying Gen. 24:40 at the start of our day:

 

Wednesday of last week, we were delayed for just a few minutes in getting out of the house at our usual time.  As it turns out, there was a huge accident at a busy corner near our house—three police cars, a fire engine, and the EMTs lifting someone into the ambulance. Had we been at that corner any sooner, we would have been in that accident!

 

Yesterday we went to our favorite grocery store. Our friend Stella has been promoted to a higher position in a different store, and when we didn’t see her on what we thought was her last day earlier this week, we were super disappointed.  So yesterday, when we went, we were kind of down in the dumps about Stella not being there anymore. But then, out she came, and it happened that the Lord got us there only five minutes before she was leaving the store for good! So, we got to exchange numbers and say our goodbyes.

 

How does it happen that we were minutes from being in an accident, and got to see our friend in the few minutes before she would be gone?

 

I could give you several other incidents from this past week that illustrate this important key, but I’m sure you can think of wonderful things that you have seen in your own lives, as well. If you want to start seeing even more, I encourage you to start praying this scripture at the beginning of your day, and let me know what happens.

 

“And he said unto me, ‘The Lord, before whom I walk, will send his angel with thee, and prosper thy way [and get me to my Godly destinations] (my add)’” (Gen. 24:40).

 

Enjoy your journeys and successful outcomes this week.

 

Love, Carolyn

HONORING THE TRANSITION FROM CHILD TO YOUNG ADULT

HONORING THE TRANSITION FROM CHILD TO YOUNG ADULT

A few years ago, I was invited by a coworker to her daughter's Quinceañera. It has its cultural roots in Mesoamerica and is widely celebrated today throughout the Americas. Traditionally, it is a gift from the father to his daughter on her fifteenth birthday. As I was driving over to the event, I was thinking about how important it is for a teenage girl to be honored. And to be respected by her father first, but also by her mother, her family, and other adults, can be paramount to a young girl’s future. Teenage girls are fragile. What happens to a teen girl has a lasting effect. Her relationships with men in the future will show reflections of how her relationships went with her father, brothers, and other men in her teenage life.

 

Boys go through changes when they become young men, and I believe they should be honored and recognized, too.

 

I believe that events (big or small) that bring families together to take special notice and give honor to a child transitioning to adulthood can be instrumental in giving teens courage, confidence, and assurance of a good future, with the support of adults who have gone before.

 

I believe that there should be mention of God and the Lord Jesus as the sovereign guide of their future, and the Bible principles as their ultimate standard for every decision.

 

“In Luke 2, the Bible gives us a short synopsis of Jesus’s transition. He had to go from being a child, a teen, and an adult, just like the rest of us.

 

“Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover.  And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast” (Luke 2:41-42).

 

At this feast, the Hebrews celebrated the great Exodus from Egypt, and how, when the angel of death slew the firstborn of all the Egyptians, he “passed over” the children of the Israelites. 

 

“And when they [Joseph and Mary] had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintances.

 

“And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions” (Luke 2:43-46).

 

Just like any teenager, Jesus found something that fascinated him and distracted his attention away from his parents. He must have thought it was much more interesting to hang out with the teachers than to stay with his parents.  

 

“And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers” (Luke 2: 47).  Here we see that the Jewish rabbis honored him. And isn’t that just the case sometimes? The parents can’t see how amazing their kids are, but other adults see and go on and on, lavishing the kids with praise.

 

“And when they [the parents] saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, ‘Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.’

 

“And he said unto them, ‘How is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?’  And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them” (Luke 2:48-50).

 

“And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.” Here we see that Jesus, as a teenager, was generally obedient to his parents, and that’s a great teaching lesson for teenagers. The other thing is that Mary thought about what was now happening in this transitional phase in her son’s life. She was taking time to really look at her son, not just as a child, but as he was turning into an adult.

 

We see in the next verse that Jesus truly was becoming a man. I don’t know if, in the Bible, any formal celebrations took place surrounding the time of transition. Jewish Bar Mitzvahs started in thirteenth-century France. What we know is that the Bible says that shortly after the incident in Jerusalem when Jesus was twelve years old, he was honored by God and by men.

 

“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man” (Luke 2:41-52)

 

Parents, if you haven’t already done it, how about considering some kind of special event, even if small, to give your transitioning child some special honor, recognition, and assurance of support for whatever he or she may desire for the future. Every teen deserves the stability of not only an adult’s love but maybe even more, their respect and honor.

 

Love, Carolyn

WALKING BY THE SPIRIT

WALKING BY THE SPIRIT

It’s Memorial Day weekend and a lot of people have come here to Vegas for a few days of fun and relaxation. But when I woke up yesterday morning, the sky was full of clouds and some of them were ominous rain clouds. I didn’t want that for the people, and I was urged by the holy spirit to pray. Recently I’ve learned some new things about vaporizing, so I asked the Lord to split up the particles in the clouds into vapor form. Within the hour, I was out watering my sunflowers and looked up to see a sunny sky and only a small ring of clouds around the edges of our city, and it stayed that way all day!

 

I knew that when the Lord urged me to get rid of the clouds it would happen because I’d done it before, on a rock-climbing trip. Right when we were about to start up the mountain, it started to pour down rain. The Lord told me it was because the people were afraid of climbing. But He wanted us to get over our fears, so He told me to pray. I did, and the clouds spread out and the rain stopped. Because of this supernatural experience before, it was that much easier to believe and act on what He told me yesterday.

 

That’s how it works. We step out when we have the slightest spiritual urging, and the Lord supports us! We have holy spirit in us, and we learn by doing.

 

Sure, we may make a few mistakes, but Romans 8:1 tells us that the Lord doesn’t condemn us. “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

 

And Galatians 5:25 tells us that if we are attempting to live in a spiritual way, then we need to step up and take a chance on the actions He inspires. The results are beautiful. “If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”

 

The more we practice responding to the Holy Spirit’s voice, vibrations, urges, and nudges, the better we get at it. Philippians 2:13 says: “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” And His good pleasure is to bless us and see His goodness spread throughout the earth.

 

“Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart” (Psa. 37:4).

 

It was a blessing to be a partner with the Lord on giving the Las Vegas visitors a sunny day, when the devil wanted to make it gloomy. We are always winners with the Lord. Let’s see what beautiful things happen this week as we obey the Lord’s urges and walk by the spirit.

WHO PROTECTS A SCRAPPER?

WHO PROTECTS A SCRAPPER?

By the age of four, I was a scrapper. Some called it selfish, but for me, it was self-preservation. At four years old, I had a two-year-old brother and a one-year-old sister. I could see this wasn’t working out for me, so I wrapped all my favorite stuffed animals and toys, as well as my clothes, in a blue blanket and headed out the door and down the driveway. I didn’t get very far before mom coaxed me back, announcing that my favorite TV show was about to start.

 

My first day in kindergarten, I bit a girl on the arm when she cut in front of me to get on the swing. The teacher called my parents.

 

I learned early on that dad was busy working late, mom had to take care of my younger siblings, and I had to fight for myself. When some older neighborhood kids tied me up and locked me in their garage with a hose underneath the door so they could torment me with threats from outside, there was no one to come to the rescue. I screamed in terror at the top of my lungs until the older kids let me out. I’m not sure if my parents ever even knew about that.

 

In sixth grade, when the boys made fun of me, I wrestled Lex Garcia to the ground, pinning him down so he couldn’t get up till the teacher made me get off him.

 

Being a scrapper, I grew up fighting for myself. Then, when I became a Christian, I fought for my friends and the people I loved. I still do, just different weapons.

 

I don’t blame anyone in my family for not making me feel protected. Those early years jaded my thinking, and I was pretty good at hiding my feelings. I grew a hard shell and a tough persona. I didn’t have the feeling or experience of a father who fought for me, or a big brother either. They probably didn’t know I was in so much trouble, or they felt I was tough enough on my own. I always felt I was on my own. And even with God, I knew He would eventually bring justice to pass, but not quickly. Until now.

 

There was an incident at work where I was being accused of something I didn’t do, and the rumors were being spread. Suddenly, the hair on my arms stood up, and the hackles of my mind rose up, ready to fight.  Isaiah 51:20 describes it perfectly: “Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of fury.” That was me.

 

I felt like I was right back in that garage, little Carolyn, tied up, terrified, and enraged. I did my best to hold my tongue, but some descriptive words did slip out! But this time was different. My Father God and my big brother Jesus brought swift judgment on those who would bully me and bring me down. Those who accused me were exposed and taken down.

 

In all my life, I’ve never seen it happen so fast! I was shocked, and I’ll never again doubt that God has my back. He has your back, too. He is a great, great father!

 

If you have a father in the natural who you know has got your back, you are a very blessed person. And if you are a father, try to be this person for your kids.

 

If you’ve never felt the protection of a father or big brother in your natural life, then I am praying that if you ever have a demoralizing situation like I had, you will also experience the protection, love, care, and avenging, like I did. God’s fatherly actions and Jesus’ brotherly interceding are unmistakable and life-changing.

 

Love, Carolyn

MOM TO THE RESCUE

MOM TO THE RESCUE

The grass on the hillside behind our house was long and dry—perfect for hours of fun for the three of us kids. We found the largest cardboard boxes we could and broke them down to make sleds. Up we climbed to the top of the hill and down we flew to the bottom. We’d do it again and again all day long, until mom called us for dinner. But the one time when I was sledding alone, something horrible happened.

I got tired early, so I folded my cardboard and headed home. I carefully lifted up a section of barbed wire at the bottom of the hill and started to climb under. My foot crunched down on a small dead branch in the way. All of a sudden, I was swarmed and being stung by yellow jackets. They were all over me—my face, my arms, my head, even stinging me through my socks—and they just kept attacking. Yellow jackets aren’t like regular bees that die once they sting you. Yellow jackets can just keep on stinging over and over. I must have disturbed their nest, and they were mad. I managed to get myself out from under the barbed wire and ran to the middle of the street. 

They followed me and surrounded me and kept stinging me. I could do nothing to stop them. I panicked and froze there right in the middle of the street and started screaming at the top of my lungs.

My mom came running out of the house and saw immediately what was going on. She ran out to the middle of the street, where I was paralyzed in panic. Grabbing me in her arms, she quickly got me off the street and into our driveway. She turned the water on and hosed me down. I was sopping wet when she took me into the house, sat me down at the kitchen table, and slathered me from head to toe in calamine lotion, finally easing the pain of probably over a hundred yellow jacket stings. 

This memory reminds me of the Bible story about the man from the Gadarenes. He was being attacked by a legion of devil spirits. Most sources say a legion can be as many as 6000 in number. The man was lashing out, tearing at himself and scaring everyone, that is, except Jesus. The man wasn’t in his right mind but Jesus had compassion on him and rescued the man. Jesus set him free from the attacks, and the people “found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind” (Luke 8:34). 

My mom was not afraid. When it came to one of her kids, she had no fear, but instantly knew what to do and did it. My mom ran right into the swarm of yellow jackets, to save her daughter. She rescued me from the yellow jackets and calmed the stings.

 

Jesus was not afraid either. He knew that God wanted him to rescue this man and He did it. Jesus ministered God’s love to the man and delivered him from the stings of torment the devils put on him.

 

As I look at the people God puts in my path, I want to be more compassionate toward His children, like my mom was for me. I want to react more like Jesus and help those who want deliverance from the stings they experience in this life.

Like it says in 1 Peter 3:8: “Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble” (1 Peter 3:8). First Corinthians 13:8 says: “Love never fails.”

 

To all of you mothers who have rescued us so many times: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! HAPPY MOTHERS’ DAY!

Love, Carolyn

WHAT'S SO GREAT ABOUT THE BIBLE?

WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT THE BIBLE?

I had the opportunity to talk to a friend about the layout of the Bible, and it was thrilling. I explained how in the Hebrew language every letter has a number, and all the chapters were numerically worked out so that when the early Jewish scribes copied, there was a way to make sure everything was accurate. Also, I explained that when we read different translations, we can still go back to the original language to see how certain words were translated at the time they were copied; words don’t always translate accurately from one language to another, but we can find out the original meanings.

 

Second Peter 1:21 tells us how God’s messages in the books of the Bible got there in the first place: “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” The Bible is not the writers’ opinions but a direct download from the Creator Himself.

 

In ancient times, people were outdoors a lot more than we are today, and they saw God’s story of life and the revelation of His son, Jesus Christ, in the configuration and names of the stars and constellations. Jesus Christ is the chief message of the entire Bible. Every book represents one or more aspects of his personality, interests, actions, knowledge, and wisdom.

 

Jesus is the ultimate gift from God to all humanity and life, from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelation.

 

We need to read the Bible ourselves or listen to someone else reading it in its entirety. And not just the New Testament. God says it’s important to know what happened before He sent Jesus to earth. “For whatsoever things were written aforetime [before Jesus was born] were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope” (Rom. 15:4).

 

I’ve read through the whole Bible before, and every time learned more truths, but this time I want to read it specifically in light of what I can learn about the son of God, the man Jesus Christ!

 

The well-known heroes of the Bible—from Abraham to Moses to Joseph to Ruth, Esther, Peter, John, Paul, and David, and other big names—to the lesser-known heroes, including Micah, Nehemiah, Deborah, Elisabeth—to the unnamed heroes, sometimes called “a certain woman,” or a “certain man,” or a child. All these heroes teach about the ultimate savior, Jesus Christ.

 

Not only do the people of the Bible tell us about Jesus, but we learn things about him as we hear the stories about other aspects of God’s creation such as the ants, the bright and morning star, the living water, the lion of Judah, the shield, the wings, the rain, the balm of Gilead, and so much more. We can look for these things when we read the Bible stories. They are hiding in plain sight if we only use our spiritual eyes and ears to experience what our Creator is telling and showing us about life and about His son Jesus Christ.

 

In the included photo, you can see my scribbled writing next to the names of the books of the Bible. I heard a preacher listing an aspect of Jesus Christ in each book of the Bible, wrote it down.

 

Who is Jesus?

 

In Genesis, He is the seed of a woman.

In Exodus, He is the Passover lamb.

In Leviticus, He is the High Priest.

In Numbers, He is the pillar of fire by night and the cloud by day.

In Deuteronomy, He is the prophet like unto Moses.

In Joshua, He is the captain of salvation and the captain of the Lord of Hosts.

In Judges, He is our judge and our lawgiver.

In Ruth, He is the Kinsman Redeemer.

In 1 and 2 Samuel, He is the trusted prophet and the anointed one.

In 1 and 2 Kings, He is the reigning King and the King of kings, and the Lord of hosts.

In 1 and 2 Chronicles, He is the glory and the temple of God.

In Ezra, He is the faithful scribe, and the teacher come from God.

In Nehemiah, He is the rebuilder of the broken-down walls of human life.

In Esther, He is the protector of His people.

In Job, He is the day-spring from on high, the forever living redeemer, the only comfort in times of trouble.

In Psalms, He is the Lord our shepherd.

In Proverbs, He is our wisdom.

In Ecclesiastes, He is the preacher of the kingdom of God.

In the Song of Solomon, He is the lover.

In Isaiah, He is the Prince of Peace.

 

And the list goes on:

In Daniel, He is the fourth man in the furnace.

In Micah, He is the great intercessor.

In Nahum, He is the avenger of God’s elect.

In Haggai, He is the owner of all the silver and gold in the world.

In Malachi, He is the son of righteousness with healing in his wings.

 

In the New Testament, he is the wonder worker, the son of man, the son of God, the multiplier, the mediator, the faithful, the friend closer than a brother, the blood of the everlasting covenant, the word of life, the beginning and the end, the living word of God.

 

The whole Bible is about God’s greatest gift to humanity, His son Jesus Christ. Let’s get to know Jesus better. Join me in this new adventure of reading or listening to the entire Bible. You’ll be glad you did!

PEACE, NOT PANIC

PEACE, NOT PANIC

Last Sunday, I wrote my Christian Living blog about Jesus taking away Satan’s jabs at our peace.

Jesus delivered us from the “chastisement of our peace,” as it says in Isaiah 53:5, but we must believe it and receive it into our daily reality. Here’s a real-life example of how it can work. Jesus quickly intervened in a stressful situation, and I went instantly from panic to peace.  

 

 

I was struggling with my new computer. It was the day before I needed to write my weekly blog. One of the platforms I use is Facebook, and another is Blogger.com.  I couldn’t get either one to come up on the new computer, and I was starting to freak out. My brain was racing wildly as I tried to get Facebook to accept my new password. It wouldn’t, so I tried an old one, but with no success, so I tried to apply for a new one. I opted for a text with a code, but when they said they had sent it to my phone, it never came! I was getting frantic, and I was running out of time.

 

 

I looked at the password I used, and it looked a little strange, so I tried adding what I thought I may have missed. But still, nothing worked, and my blood pressure must have been skyrocketing. I could feel the pinching tenseness all over my body. My shoulders hunched, my forehead furrowed; I was overheated, emotionally overwhelmed, and felt like I was tumbling down a dark hole in utter panic.

 

 

Then my best friend Jane calmly and quietly intervened, “Can you do your blog on your old computer?” (Of course I could, but I was in such a panic, I just couldn’t see any answer.) When God inspired Jane to ask a simple question, it was like a switch turned on, and instantly, I froze in time. My shoulders relaxed, and I felt a unique pouring of peace over my whole being. Yes, my old computer wasn’t completely broken, and I could still use it to launch my blog. All the stress fell away, and I experienced perfect peace.

 

 

That’s God’s way! With just the flip of His heavenly switch, He inspired Jane to ask a simple question in a quiet voice, and all stress had to leave.

 

 

God’s kind of peace washed over me, pure and clear, settling restfully on me and throughout my entire body. All the stabbing pains of stress were like knives being pulled out and thrown far off in the distance. There was not even a trace left behind. My mind and body felt like healing oil had been poured over me, and God’s deliverance was complete. I had peace.

 

 

The Lord knows that Satan will try to talk us out of maintaining our God-given peace in this world. Working through a trusted Christian friend is one of the many ways the Lord used to restore that unique supernatural peace.

 

John 16:33 tells us: “In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” When tribulation comes, we need to catch ourselves as quickly as possible and remind ourselves that Jesus overcame tribulation and stress with a supernatural peace of knowing and claiming that we overcome panic with peace, because we are overcomers. Like Jesus, we refuse to be victims of panic, stress, or fear brought on by Satan. We are not to be “conformed to [the hurtful attacks of] this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Rom. 12:2).

 

 

Even in bad situations, we call in peace, like Jesus did with a boisterous storm on the lake of Galilee. He claimed the peace and it came: “And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, “Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm” (Mark 4:39).

 

 

Join me in making a concerted effort to take a deep breath and immediately claim “I have PEACE now!” when I catch myself starting to get nervous, stressed out, fearful, or in a panic. Our heavenly Father, God, gave us peace through the death and resurrection of His only begotten son, Jesus, the Christ, and we have decided to give Him the honor and glory He deserves. We embrace His PEACE now in every stressful situation, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, and we don’t let go!

 

 

Love, Carolyn

TAKING AWAY THE CHASTISEMENT OF OUR PEACE

TAKING AWAY THE CHASTISEMENT OF OUR PEACE

First thing this morning, I got a text from a friend in Chicago, reading: “HE LIVES!” What a wonderful truth. And because we believe he lives and have taken Jesus Christ as our Lord, we are sons and daughters of God. We have received supernatural status and all the benefits of having the spirit of Christ in us. Does Satan want us to experience the benefits? Absolutely not. Satan’s greatest joy is to destroy God’s people, and he has many ways to do it.

 

Today, in this season of Easter, we are reminded that all the evils the devil tries to carry out on mankind have been supernaturally wiped out by the life, death, and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Isaiah 53 is one place in the Bible where we go to see many of the things Jesus conquered as he became a human sacrifice for our sins and then defeated death itself, all for God and for us.

 

Today, I want to look at one of the things, “the chastisement of our peace was upon him” (Isa. 53:5b). What does it mean? I looked up the Hebrew word for chastisement to find the answer. In many scriptures using the word chastisement, it’s talking about God correcting His people, and that’s a good thing. However, the Hebrew word is also used in Jeremiah 30:14, which talks about the chastisement of a cruel one, Literally with blows, thrashings, and beatings. This is the kind of chastisement Isaiah 53:5 is referring to.

 

So, how does that relate to the chastisement of our peace”? God wants us always to be able to grab onto peace of mind, even in bad situations. In Psalm 23:4, David tells us: “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me.”

 

Satan is always trying to attack our right to have peace of mind. He says, “No! You can’t have peace; you have to worry, fear, be stressed out, be depressed.  You can’t have peace of mind when things are going so wrong for you and your loved ones.” That is Satan chastising us by pounding us with stressful incidents, scary incidents, hard choices to make, problems that seem impossible to solve, and a multitude of other negative peace breakers.

 

But Satan is a liar! Jesus took all Satan’s chastisements (beatings) for us and nailed them to the cross. Then he rose again to continue to help us every day to say no to the beatings! In place of the stress, the depression, worry, and fear, Jesus gave us supernatural spiritual peace. It’s different; it’s not natural; sometimes, it doesn’t even seem to make sense at all, but we’ve got it. That’s because we choose to live in a supernatural realm where Jesus is Lord, and God is our spiritual heavenly Father, and the kingdom is not regulated by the devil and his bashings, but a loving Father and His living son, Jesus, the Messiah.

 

We’ve been delivered from Satan’s chastisement of our peace, and we won’t take it anymore. Jesus gave us a very special supernatural peace. It is his peace! It is a living peace! He said: “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27).  

 

“And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Phil. 4:7). This is the kind of peace we can claim as believers. It’s a special kind of peace that may seem inappropriate for the situation, but it is vital to our spiritual, physical, and mental health.

 

We thank you, God, for exhibiting peace in our lives today, in the wonderful name of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ.

 

Love, Carolyn

WE ARE NOT RABID DOGS

 WE ARE NOT RABID DOGS

We’ve all made the mistake of thinking we could go back to an old job, an old relationship, a place we once lived, and think it will be better the second time around. Let me give you an example, and then let’s see what the Lord has to say about such situations.

 

Jane met a young girl at work whose boyfriend beat her. One day she showed up at work so scraped up she couldn’t move her fingers. He’d thrown her out of a moving car. Jane called a battered women’s shelter. The counselor on the phone stopped the conversation and started counseling Jane. She told her she shouldn’t even get involved at this point because the average battered woman leaves 7 times before she leaves for good. The counselor told Jane it was classic for a third party to get involved to try to help, and all that happens is that they get in the middle of the couple, and the woman defends the abuser. The counselor said getting involved never does any good until the woman seeks help for herself.

 

God talks about this kind of thing in Proverbs 26:11-12: “As a dog returneth to his vomit, so a fool returneth to his folly.” I looked up the expression about a dog returning to its own vomit and found that the Bible is talking about rabid dogs. In the East, troops of fierce half-famished dogs without masters are often wandering around the towns and villages.

 

They eat anything they can find. Anyone who has cats and dogs for pets knows that the silly dog will find great treasures in the cat box, as disgusting as that is! Dogs will eat poop. There, I said it. A dog will eat its own vomit if it’s hungry enough, as these rabid dogs do. There are other references to dogs in the Bible as well. These talk about the packs of dogs eating a dead person. Disgusting but true.

 

2 Kings 9:10: “And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her.”

 

1 Kings 14:11: “Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat.”

 

1 Kings 16:4: “Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat.”

 

The Lord uses these examples to make a point: The people who stayed in a bad place for them, didn’t even get a proper burial, but were eaten by rabid dogs. That’s sad.

 

Don’t be enticed into going back into a situation that has hurt you before. We need to get honest with ourselves and ask ourselves why we want to go back. Is it really the Lord’s will? Have we taken the time to have a conversation with the Lord and ask Him? Or, are we being manipulated or enticed by lies or maybe being bewitched by a memory? Think about it: The food the dog ate was fresh at first. But it’s no longer fresh when it comes out – it’s waste. It’s dead and deadly. Toxic! It’s not what it used to be! And yet, the dog goes back and eats it!

 

Wild, rabid dogs will eat their own vomit and will eat what is dead. We don’t have to do that. We can be free.

 

Admitting we have to leave or can’t go back to a person, place, or situation isn’t failure; it’s deliverance!

 

Proverbs 3:6 tells us: “In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Prov. 3:6).

 

God’s will is that we are blessed, not stressed. That’s why He warns us about not being tricked into going back to things that are done or decaying, but instead reach out to Him because He will gladly direct us into His ways The Lord’s ways will make us strong, not stressed.

 

“For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall” (Ps. 18:29).

 

“They that wait [rely] upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles” (Isa. 40:31a).

 

Love, Carolyn
