NIGHT SEEDS

 NIGHT SEEDS

It’s been cold in the mornings here in Vegas, and we don’t like that. Most of the time we’re spoiled with beautiful sunshine, so when it’s gray and cold outside, sometimes I get gray and cold inside, and that’s how I’ve been feeling most mornings lately. BUT GOD! One of the names for God is Jehovah-jireh. It means He sees and He provides, and that’s what He did for me. He saw that I was struggling a bit in the mornings, even though I was quoting a scripture first thing about “this is the day the Lord hath made; I will rejoice and be glad in it.” So, what was I to do?

 

Well, the Lord saw that it wasn’t working, so He popped into my mind another way to fix the situation: Night seeds! And it’s working perfectly! The thing with our God is that He loves us so much, He’s not satisfied with us being unhappy or struggling. He’s got a million ways to fix things and always has a perfect answer for every possible mess we can get into! We just need to be flexible and be willing to listen to what He downloads to us and then do it.

 

He just had to drop it in my spirit once again and I had to pull out the Preach Letter, read it, and do it.

 

NIGHT SEEDS

“Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep” (Psa. 121:4). That verse is talking about our God who is Spirit, and He doesn't sleep. When we get born again of God’s gift of holy spirit, that part of us doesn’t sleep either, but it's our body and soul that do need the sleep while we're here on earth. If we sleep eight hours out of 24, that’s a third of our day taken up! How can we make those sleeping hours count spiritually? One way is to plant night seeds.

 

The thing that is so amazing and awesome is that Spiritual faith can work through the night, uninhibited by our doubtful, fearful, and oh-so-rational minds! Things are working in our unconscious, spiritual hearts, freely.

 

The two following sections of scripture are vital to us in getting great results from planting night seeds:

 

Jesus taught this: Mark 4:26-27: “And he said, ‘So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.” Notice that Jesus said the man planted the seed, then he immediately went to sleep! I just love that.

 

Night seeds are prayers that we put out for God, Jesus, angels, and our spirit to be working on while our bodies and minds sleep. If we plant seeds right before we go to sleep, no rationale or emotional reaction can get in the way to block our faith! Who we are spiritually as sons and daughters of God Almighty, and our relationship with His son Jesus goes ahead to work while our bodies and souls take a rest, and the solutions come as the seeds sprout.

 

Then the second vital verse is Psalm 17:15: “I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy likeness.” I looked up the Hebrew word for “likeness.” It is “temuwnah,” and it means “what You [God] have fashioned,” what You [God] have formed,” “the manifestation of Your favor.”

 

So, this verse is saying that when I wake up, I can feel blessed by what the Lord did in the night or otherwise. He works with our seed and helps it to get sprouting. So, I planted some prayer seeds last night and when I got up this morning, first thing I did was go outside. I fed the two kitties and I noticed it was way warmer this morning, and it was so quiet and peaceful all around. I walked my property and was filled with awe that the Lord had picked out this house and yard for me thirty years ago. I do really love it here. He made me happy this morning with His love and I’m not disgruntled like I was several mornings this past week!

 

Here are some other results I recall from utilizing God’s blessing of night seeds:

 

It was Christmas time, and I got a last-minute invitation to a Christmas party. I’d already scheduled a hair appointment for several days after the party. When I called to reschedule, there were no appointments available. After more than a week went by, I started getting a little worried. I decided to try out my new discovery of planting a night seed. In light of the worry I was feeling, I knew I needed peace about whatever the result would be with my hair. So, I claimed John 14:27, which says, “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.”

 

Even though I was feeling stressed, I prayed and planted this peace seed. When I opened my phone first thing in the morning, I had a text from my hairdresser offering to do my hair on a Saturday. Not only did I get an appointment, but it was on a perfect day, so I didn’t have to miss any work.

 

My best friend Jane also planted a night seed. Her seed was concerning the promotional business she does for my writing. Facebook was blocking the usual routes of her promotions. It was as if they were trying to starve her out and get her to quit, and she knew it had to be changed around.

 

Jane didn’t get out her Bible and read the scriptures, but she told God His own story back to Him about the lepers outside the wall in Samaria. (It’s in 2 Kings 7). There was a great famine in the city because it was surrounded by an enemy army, cutting off the food supply. The lepers did as they were inspired by God, and He did a miracle. The enemy fled, leaving all the food and goods behind. The next day, the famine was gone and the commerce thriving!

 

When Jane woke up the next morning, there were more downloads on her promotion than there had been in the last three promotions!

 

These results may seem small, but it just goes to prove that our God is concerned about every little detail of our lives, and He cares so much that He’s with us every minute of every day and every night too!

 

This stuff works. Remember, Spirit continues to work while we sleep. Let’s make the hours of our sleep count in a spiritual way to enhance our lives and the lives of others. Plant a few night seeds this week and let me know about the blessings you experience.

 

Love, Carolyn

A POWERFUL WEAPON YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT

I’m sharing my response to one of my friends on FB regarding all the bad things going on now in our country. I have something to share that many Christians don’t know about, so I believe God is urging me to bring it forward now. Originally to one friend, and now to all you, my friends, as well:

 

“I'm not a bit surprised. It's about time people wake up to the fact that the devil has manipulated many many people. When he saw a way to open our American doors to Satan worshippers and other groups who worship demonic idols, and the American Christian church was taught to be doormats and taught many other contaminated ideologies, everything was setup to demolish the spread of true Christianity, in America specifically.

 

Unfortunately, we are in a huge war that lots of people don't even know about. Each of us does what we can, to do our part for our God and our Savior and our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, and it's messy for sure. But God will not let us fail. It's just taking more time than anyone ever expected!

 

I remember hearing about 7-year wars, 10-year wars, etc. etc., but I never expected we would be in one, but WE ARE, physical and spiritual. The presidents, kings, and other country leaders don't seem to want to call it war, but that's what makes it even harder.

 

WE WILL ABSOLUTELY WIN, because we know our God is greater than any other. He's the one who created Lucifer and the Bible says in Psalm 8 that the devil is less important than mankind, and that's what really pissed him off.

 

I don't pretend to play chess (if you know what I mean). I did before, but it's not my longsuit, so what I know is what I know, but I focus on Ps 149:8 binding the kings and nobles of the demonic realm, the ones who work in people at the highest levels.

 

The Bible tells us that binding these high-level demons is our privilege, “this honor have all the saints. Praise ye the LORD” (Ps.149:9). If we bind them "in chains and fetters of iron" like the Bible says, then that tells me they can't operate like they would like to, not bound up like that. They can't go where they want, communicate with who they want, organize and torture like they want, etc. Just visualize a chain gang or someone bound in chains in a dungeon and you get a bit of a visual of what those verses in Ps. 149:8-9 are saying we can do to the top-level demons.

 

God gave us a big job with this binding, so I hope others will join me in this spiritual warfare. I know each of us has a mission in this war, and the binding is just one thing I wanted to share because I don't think a lot of Christians even know that it's available. In every war, new weapons get exposed, and this is an important one for Christians.

 

Love you, Carolyn

NEW GROWTH - A BUTTERFLY BUSH AND THE HOLY SPIRIT

Photos 1.Seed pack and new growth   2.Butterfly bush blooming 1.17.26

NEW GROWTH – A BUTTERFLY BUSH AND THE HOLY SPIRIT

It was sunny and cold when I went out to look around in my backyard and see what was new. There were a few bright yellow daffodils smiling, but what caught my eye was when I looked at my butterfly bush and saw that it was already putting out new green leaves and flowering in the top branches. (In the photo the butterfly bush is the one on the left, as tall as my redbud tree on the right!)

 

It’s been a few years now, but when I first planted the tiny seeds, I hadn’t looked at the back of the package that said it took 365 days for it to bloom! What?! And truthfully, I forgot about it because it didn’t even send one sprout up out of the ground until a whole year went by—a whole year for the seed to start to wake up and grow. But the result is beautiful and I love that bush. Instantly I was struck with how the growth of this bush is similar in some ways to how the spiritual seed of Christ grows in us as individuals.

 

We received a miraculous spiritual package when we got born again. We renounced our past and confessed allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ. And we believed that God raised him from the dead, all for our sake. At that moment, God planted a spiritual seed in us. And we began a new life in Christ and we now look to Jesus Christ as the one who shows us God’s way to think and live. The seed gets planted right away, but like the seed of a butterfly bush, the different aspects contained in that seed, sprout, grow and blossom at different times, not all at once.

 

As Second Corinthians 5:17 tells us: “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

 

There are so many wonderful surprises and blessings that are a result of that one seed, they show up and manifest in varied amazing ways over the expanse of our whole lives!

 

Recently I’ve experienced new spiritual insight on some of the names of God, that has changed my life entirely. And I’ve begun to recognize demons and demon teams that I was unaware of before. Just because we grow older, doesn’t mean we stop learning spiritually. In fact, Abraham didn’t even begin his venture into a spiritually dynamic life until he was 75 years old!

 

Whatever the Lord Jesus is showing you now, and whatever the holy spirit is teaching you, embrace it, remember it, record it, because the whole rest of your life will be filled with many new and wondrous spiritual sprouts, leaves, and blossoms.

 

Endeavoring to walk by the spirit is sometimes quiet, but it’s never boring. We keep seeking new insight and understanding, and there is always more.

One of the scriptures I pray every morning is Isaiah 43:19, where God says: “Behold, I will do a new thing;
now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.”

 

Every season, my beautiful butterfly bush sends up new sprouts from its base, and they grow new, bright green leaves. Then later on, they start sprouting small white flowers to feed the bees, butterflies, and birds. And the process continues.

 

As we walk with God in our daily lives, continuing to seek him and serve him, we grow spiritually, and new things are continually being revealed to us. The seed of Christ-in-us lets us embrace those new things and we continue to grow in the kingdom of our God all the days of our lives.

 

Love, Carolyn

RAHAB BELIEVES IN OUR GOD'S REPUTATION

RAHAB BELIEVES IN OUR GOD’S REPUTATION

In Psalm 46:10 God says: “I will be exalted among the heathen.” The record of the Israelites when they first came into God’s promised land is a great example of how that verse was manifested in real life.

                                                                         

“Joshua the son of Nun sent out of Shittim two men to spy secretly, saying, ‘Go view the land, even Jericho.’ And they went, and came into an harlot’s house, named Rahab, and lodged there. And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, ‘Behold, there came men in hither tonight of the children of Israel to search out the country.’ And the king of Jericho sent unto Rahab, saying, ‘Bring forth the men that are come to thee’” (Joshua 2:1-3a).

 

But Rahab knew that the king would kill the spies, and she chose to hide them instead, on the roof of her dwelling.                                                                            

 

“And before they were laid down, she came up unto them upon the roof; and she said unto the men, ‘I know that the LORD hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you’” (Joshua 2:8-9).

 

All the inhabitants of the land were terrified! Remember, in Canaan was where the Israelites first saw the giants, and just their size alone scared the Israelite leaders so much that they wouldn’t go into the promised land back then, and ended up wandering in the desert many more years! I wonder if the Canaanites back then weren’t really as scary as the Israelite leaders thought they were!!

 

But now it was different. The Israelites, led by the younger leaders, Joshua and Caleb, had come to the edge of the land God had given them. And the inhabitants were very afraid! Why? Because when Rahab spoke of the Israelite’s God, she used the name Jehovah (Yahweh), which indicated the Israelites’ covenant relationship with their God. 

 

Rahab and the Canaanites understood what covenant meant. It was in their culture. And not only that, but they’d heard about what happened in Egypt with the battle between the gods of the Egyptians and the covenant God of the Hebrews!  And that’s where it gets interesting.

 

Each of the ten plagues in Egypt was a direct hit on one of the Egyptian gods! And the Canaanites worshipped some of the Egyptian gods as well! Hapi was the god of the Nile, their source of water. He was supposed to bring fertility, but when the plague came, the water turned to blood. It’s interesting that the magicians, who were a type of priests in the Egyptian culture, could also turn the water sources to blood and they did so to challenge the power of our God.

 

Heqet was a frog-headed goddess and she was the goddess of fruitfulness, but in the second plague there were so many frogs everywhere: “ And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs” (Exodus 8:3). Then just to prove they were powerful too, “the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land” (Exod. 8:7). (Not too bright, those magicians!).

 

Set was the god of the desert and foreigners. He was represented as lice or gnats. But when that plague came, “it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt” (Exod. 8:17b). And the priest magicians tried to bring lice as well. They “did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast” (Exod. 8:18). 

 

So, up through the first 2 of 10 plagues, the magicians who called on their gods to compete with the power of our LORD (Jehovah, Yahweh), the God in covenant with Moses, Aaron, and the Hebrews, could mimic our God’s plagues, but they were stymied with the third plague and could not do it!  

 

Then comes one of the greatest confessions of failure: “Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, ‘This is the finger of God’” (Exod. 19a). They had to admit that Moses’ God was more powerful than theirs.

In fact, the word ‘God’ in that scripture is ‘Elohim’, which means the ultimate creator of all things, and the Supreme God, higher than, and more powerful than any other god!

 

It’s worth noticing at this point that the magician priests of Egypt could do the first and second plagues, turning all the water to blood, and bringing the frogs up on the land and into every place, even the bedrooms and kitchens. They were only able to bring the bad, but they weren’t able to get rid of it. They couldn’t get rid of the blood, nor the frogs. Only our God could do that, and the magician priests weren’t able to bring on any of the other plagues either, nor could they stop them.

 

The reputation of what our God would do for His covenant people spread far and wide. And the fact that other nations knew the rules of a covenant, they then knew that the Hebrew God would be able to do anything necessary to protect and prosper His own. Pharaohs, Kings, High priests, nor any other person should even try to call on their gods to compete with ours!

 

So, back to Rahab and the two Hebrew spies that were coming to claim the land God promised they would occupy. Rahab said, “For we have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red sea for you, when ye came out of Egypt; and what ye did unto the two kings of the Amorites, that were on the other side Jordan, Sihon and Og, whom ye utterly destroyed” (Joshua 2:10). 

 

^“And as soon as we had heard these things, our hearts did melt, neither did there remain any more courage in any man, because of you: for the LORD (Jehovah, Yahweh) [who is in covenant with you] your God, he is God in heaven above, and in earth beneath” (Joshua 2:11). The last two “Gods” in this verse are the Hebrew word Elohim, meaning He is the Supreme God and Creator of heaven and the whole earth beneath.

 

Rahab told the Hebrew spies that the people of Jericho were terrified, not of the Israelites, but of their God! They heard the stories. The blessing and power was proven; she recognized it and said so.

 

^“Now therefore, I pray you, swear unto me by the LORD, since I have shewed you kindness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my father’s house, and give me a true token: and that ye will save alive my father, and my mother, and my brethren, and my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our lives from death.’ And the men answered her, ‘Our life for yours, if ye utter not this our business. And it shall be, when the LORD hath given us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with thee’” (Josh. 2:12-14).

 

Moses and Aaron let God’s light shine in Egypt because they obeyed Him, and wow did God shine on their behalf! It was never about what Moses or Aaron could do, or on a bigger scale, what the Hebrew nation could do. It’s always been about what God does. And it’s still that way. We point to what God does and we obey Him.

 

The good we do comes from what God created within us. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matt. 5:16). People should know that we’re always going to point them to our God.

 

We get to shine because of God. We remember that “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above” (James 1:17a).

 

Love, Carolyn

 

NOTE: The story about Rahab was in a teaching by Sheila Hitchcock and was on a video that my friend Kathy Stiles sent me about a month ago. I thought Sheila made some really good points, and what caught my attention was when she mentioned that Rahab told the 2 Israeli spies that the people living there (the “ites”, the giants) were afraid, not of the Israelites, but of the extent of the power of the covenant they had with their God, who had the reputation of being THE SUPREME GOD! I’d just studied the importance of covenant with Abraham and then with Moses, and how respected it is in Eastern cultures, so it caught my attention with her mentioning what happened later in Biblical history with Rahab and the Canaanites in Jericho.

WHAT DOES COVENANT RELATIONSHIP REALLY MEAN?

WHAT DOES COVENANT RELATIONSHIP REALLY MEAN?

The record of Rahab and the Canaanites in the book of Joshua is fascinating, and I thought I was going to talk about that here in this Preach Letter. But as I got into it, the LORD took me to what He wanted covered first. He showed me that before we can understand the depth of the spiritual feast in the record of Rahab, we needed to refresh and embrace what we know about the rank, reputation, and importance of Covenant! So that’s what we’re going to do here, and even for those who think they know a lot about it, I think you’ll pick up some new and exciting aspects. I know I did! And next week we’ll get into the story of Rahab.

 

To understand much of the Bible, we need to know that for the most part, Bible events took place in an Eastern world. So, when people from the Eastern culture read about covenants made between God and people or people and people, they understand its significance, but Westerners for the most part, do not. So, here, I’m going to take a little time to expound on a few things about Covenant relationships.

 

Many Christians may have already learned about salt covenants, (so you can skip that part if you want), but in my research the past few weeks, the LORD led me to amazing and wonderful new insights on covenants that I believe will really enhance and energize our spiritual lives even more.

 

Many of us first read about salt covenants in a book by Bishop K.C. Pillai (c.1900-1970). He lived in India and grew up as a Hindu. His conversion to Christianity is a lesson in one of the most significant Eastern customs found in the Bible. When a Hindu child of the ruling class is born, a little salt is rubbed on the baby who is then wrapped in swaddling cloth. This custom invoked one of the oldest and strongest covenants in the Eastern world, the “salt covenant.” In this particular instance, the child was salted for a lifetime of dedication to the Hindu religion. The “salt covenant” is used in like manner throughout the Bible to seal the deepest commitment.

 

As a result of the salt covenant, it is difficult for Hindus to convert to Christianity. When they do, their family actually conducts a funeral service to symbolize that the individual is dead to their family, the community, and Hinduism. Their family will carry a portrait of the “deceased” to the cemetery and bury it.

 

A salt covenant in the East carries over in to adult life. As Bishop Pillai puts it: “In the East, the taking of salt is pledge, a promise of fidelity. If I come to your house and eat food with you which has been seasoned with salt, I can never betray you or do you harm. Even if you commit a crime and I am asked to testify, I cannot do it because I have eaten salt with you. Perhaps I may come to you and try to persuade you to do the right thing, but I would die before I would break the covenant of salt. In fact, the penalty for so doing, is death; Anything said while eating anything with salt must never be broken.

 

A servant and master in the Eastern custom will exchange the salt covenant to show the servant will be trustworthy. So the men eat salted food such as an olive or something and say, ‘in the name of the salt on the food I am eating, I will never betray you. I will never rob you. I will never cause damage to your property as long as I am in charge, so help me God.’ The master says, ‘I will never treat you as a servant, I will treat you as my equal, my brother. I will trust you.’”

 

And from Biblehub.com: “In the biblical context, covenants between men are solemn agreements or promises made between individuals or groups, often invoking God as a witness to the commitment. The breach of such covenants is taken seriously in Scripture, as it reflects not only a failure in human relationships but also a disregard for the divine witness to the agreement.” 

 

Now let’s look at two other examples in Genesis of physical demonstrations of a covenant taking place. Both are with Abraham. The first is in Genesis 14:22 “And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth.” Notice that LORD is capitalized, indicating Abram’s already existing covenant relationship with God. This is Abram’s way of taking a solemn oath.

 

He swore before the King that he would not keep any of the spoils of war that belonged to the King. Swearing with a raised hand before God is similar to what witnesses are supposed to be doing in the modern courtroom. This kind of covenant oath with the raising of the hand is also found in Daniel 12:7 and Revelation 10:5-6.

 

The other example of one of the covenants of Abraham is in Genesis 15. God made a covenant with Abram to bless him with land and promised him seed from his own bowels to be his heir. At the time, Abram and Sarai had no children. But that was no problem to God. What God promised in covenant with Abram would come to pass. God told him: “Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, so shall thy seed be” (Gen. 15:5).

 

To seal the covenant, Abram cut several sacrificial animals into two-piece sections and walked between them. This signified a solemn declaration of his intention to adhere to the covenant. Just as the two separate pieces belonged to the same animal, the two parties of the covenant were to be of one mind about the terms of the covenant.

 

When night fell, God did a miracle for Abram to show His side of the covenant. He displayed a smoking furnace and a burning lamp that passed between the two sections of the sacrificed animals! This was a huge sign to Abram that God would forever keep His promise! (And WE are part of that promise, as we are called the seed of Abraham in Gal. 3:29).

 

So, we see that with the cultures of the East, covenant was a serious matter, not to be broken.

 

But God does give us have several examples of the consequences of a broken covenant. I’ll just mention one here, with the Gibeonites and Saul.

In Joshua 9:15 we see that the Gibeonites made a covenant of peace with Israel: “And Joshua made peace with them, and made a league with them, to let them live: and the princes of the congregation sware unto them.” However, Saul violated this covenant by attempting to annihilate them.

 

As a result, God sent a famine upon Israel during the reign of David as punishment for Saul's breach: “Then there was a famine in the days of David three years, year after year; and David enquired of the LORD. And the LORD answered, ‘It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.’”

 

As my friend, Frank Fick, says, “A covenant is not a contract. You can break a contract.” But when people break a covenant, it is not merely a social or legal issue but a spiritual one. In the Biblical worldview, such breaches are taken as offenses against God Himself, who is often invoked as a witness to these agreements. The punishment we’ve just seen passed down from David from his father Saul, for breaking a covenant, shows the gravity of the offense and should serve as a red flag to us regarding making casual promises.

From a moral and ethical standpoint, the breach of a covenant is a violation of trust and integrity. It reflects failure to uphold one's word and a disregard for the sacredness of promises made before God. The stories in the Bible consistently present the importance of faithfulness and truthfulness in human relationships, reflecting the character of God, who is always faithful to His covenants.

Throughout the Bible, God always tells the truth, honoring His commitments and covenants, no matter what. And Jesus came to show us even more about how to live in righteousness, and He emphasizes the need for believers to honor their promises and uphold the sanctity of their word. “Be ye therefore imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, even as Christ” (Eph. 2:1-2a).

 

For all of us born again confessed Christians, maybe it’s time to renew and upgrade our covenant relationship with our God. When we got born again, we chose God’s way and repented of our old ways. We accepted God’s son Jesus as our Lord and Savior. God changed us on the inside and by the new birth, we were brought into a covenant relationship with Him. We confessed with our words that from that day forward Jesus would be our Lord.

 

But maybe we didn’t even know at the time that we were promising with our mouths a covenant agreement with God. I was only eight years old at the time and I admit, I had no idea of covenant and I bet there are many others who didn’t know either. Well, God knew what His part of the covenant was, and He kept it no matter what, and that’s how I believe many of us have stayed alive for so long. But now it is high time for the body of Christ to rise up and commit to being truer to our spoken covenant than ever before. What do you think?
