JESUS VISITS THE CRITIC

JESUS VISITS THE CRITIC
This morning Jane and I watched a YouTube video of an atheist doctor who decided to prove that his Christian neighbors were wrong. It blessed me so much to see how the Lord got to this man and changed his life around miraculously. Living in Las Vegas, I look around and see lots of people with great potential; but they put a stop to their dreams by indulging in their addictions, specifically to alcohol, drugs, sex, and gambling. I’ve lived here long enough to see the circle of addiction pull the net of bondage tighter and tighter until it seems they just can’t escape, no matter what they do.  And yet, I know from the Word of God, that there is always a rescuing available, a miracle just around the corner. There is no such thing as a hopeless case.

I was looking for the verses in Psalms that talk about God being everywhere and there being no place a person can hide from God. As I was doing this, the Lord told me to tell you to start reading the Psalms. And He was telling me to do it too, starting at Psalm 89. As I was speeding through Psalm 89 to Psalm 139, this is what happened: My heart became newly refreshed, encouraged, assured, rescued and delivered to a higher level of believing. It will happen for you too.

Watch this short video of the doctor and begin to read these Psalms as soon as you can. God promises in Jeremiah 29:11, a great future. And it begins NOW.

Love, Carolyn

IF WE SHOW UP, HE SHOWS UP


IF WE SHOW UP, HE SHOWS UP
I was telling Wendy that I get a little nervous every time I go to write one of these preach letters, and sometimes have no idea what’s going to come out. I told her, “I do know this much: If I just show up, He shows up.” Later, I got to thinking about that statement. We all have certain places we can go where the Lord meets us, a certain chair we like, a bench out in the yard, a path in the woods, or behind the wheel of the car on a favorite roadway. For me, it’s in my chair at my desk where my laptop lives. If we show up, He will be there every time.

Our Lord Jesus had His favorite places to go, where He could talk to God alone. One of those places was a mountain. “And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone” (Matt. 14:23). And John 6:14: “When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.”

John 7:53 to John 8:1 tells us that after a long day of preaching and ministering to the people, “every man went unto his own house. Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.”

Just think about it a few minutes. When you have a really tough situation you’re facing, where do you go to get calm, or clear your head? Jesus had his favorite locations. You do too. You may not have recognized it as such, but let’s start paying attention to what touches our souls. Intimacy with the Lord has to look like something in our natural realm.

Jesus went to a mountain, and sometimes He went to a garden. “When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a garden, into the which he entered, and his disciples” (John 18:1). “Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, ‘Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder’” (Matt. 26:36).

Where is it that you feel the closest to God? Sitting in your bed in the middle of the afternoon, when there’s no one else around? Or is it on a brisk walk around the block in your neighborhood? Or is it sitting quietly in your church on a day and time when hardly any people are around?

Inside of you, you already know where one of your special places is, a physical place where the Lord has met you before. If you are really trying to think of where it is, and you don’t really think you have one, that’s okay; this will be a new adventure for you to find it.

Prayerfully ask the Lord to show you and then do the first thing that comes to mind. Often when we’re learning to hear the voice of the Lord, we practice by asking a simple question and then just doing the first thing that comes to mind. 99% of the time, it will be the Lord. He wants you to hear His voice even more than you do! Don’t second-guess yourself. Take the first thought and go for it. Don’t be afraid. If you just show up, He’ll be there the first time and every time after.

Our real-life intimate locations already exist. We don’t have to go overseas to find them. They are within easy reach of where we live. Recognize and report for duty. The Lord is waiting for you.
Love, Carolyn

God is everywhere, but intimacy with Him needs to look like something. The relationship needs to be real to us.

UNDER HIS WINGS

UNDER HIS WINGS
Sometimes I just want to breathe a sigh of relief and be comforted. And that’s when I like to picture myself snuggled under God’s wing.

Psalm 91:4 says, “He shall cover thee with His feathers, and under His wings shalt thou trust.” I love to revel in that image. It brings peace to my mind and heart.

David said, “How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wing” (Ps. 36:7). Almighty God is willing to put His powerful and protective wings over us because He loves us so much.

In another Psalm David prayed, “Hide me under the shadow of thy wings” (Ps. 17:8). Under God’s wing nothing can hurt or harm us.

Ruth was a Moabite. When she lost her husband, her mother-in-law told her she should go back to her people. But Ruth wanted to stay and take care of her widowed mother-in-law. She decided, “Thy people shall be my people and thy God my God” (Ruth 1:16). Boaz saw Ruth’s meekness and said, “The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust” (Ruth 2:12).

I imagine Ruth was in some ways very alone in this new place and with new people, so it must have been a wonderful feeling that she could rely on and really feel comfort from God.

So, if you’re like me or Ruth and sometimes feel like you need a break or some extra comfort, or you feel like David and just need to hide, you can picture yourself cozy under the wing of God.

Love, Carolyn

COMFORT FROM OUR GOD

COMFORT FROM OUR GOD
My last name is Molica. It’s Italian, and it means the inside of Italian bread. That’s me, hard and crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. Most of the time I pay more attention to my hard, crusty, fighter nature. But God knows me well. He told me today is not the day for fighting, and He showed me some of His softer nature. God says: “I, even I, am he that comforteth you” (Is. 51:12). God wants to take good care of us if we let Him!

John 16:32 tells us we are never alone: “I am not alone, because the Father is with me.” Psalm 23:1 tells us: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want [lack].”

David knew that God could be very tender: “Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me” (Ps. 40:11). Jacob had to leave his country for a season. But God told him: “Behold, I am with you and will keep [careful watch over you and guard] you wherever you may go, and I will bring you back to this [promised] land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you” (Gen. 28:15).

God is kind. “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart” (Ps. 34:18). “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds” (Ps 147:3). He is “a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress: a refuge from the whirlwind, a shadow from the heat” (Is. 25:4).

Jesus tells us that God is “my Father, and your Father” (John 20:17).

And Isaiah 25:8 tells us: “He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.”

It’s not healthy to be in constant fight mode. Let the Lord, your best friend ever, give you a little bit of His soft side today.

Love, Carolyn

BEANS AND WATER

BEANS AND WATER
The other day I was laughing about the huge bag of beans I still haven’t consumed. They were a part of my survival plan in case of an emergency. I bought them back in 2013, and I’m still working on getting them eaten. I also bought gallons and gallons of water, which I either drank or used to water the plants. The two items, beans, and water made me think of staying strong in the Word of God and getting refreshed on our journeys.

Beans are a staple, and they last for a long time without going bad. I got my big bag of beans five years ago, and when I cooked some up this weekend, they were delicious. They are a great source of protein, complex carbohydrates, fiber, and fat. They’re also a powerhouse of nutrients including antioxidants, and vitamins and minerals such as copper, iron, magnesium, potassium, and zinc.

For me, the beans represented the solid, well-known Biblical principles, such as “love God and love your neighbors as yourself,” and stories that always teach us a great lesson, like David and Goliath, Samson and Delilah, Joseph and the Pharaoh, etc.

Then there’s water. The gallons of water I was saving for an emergency were way more maintenance than the beans. The plastic on the gallons would begin to break down. I’d see the bottles bend, shrink and lose their shape and then their water, little by little. I had to keep track of the dates on the water and use it before it got stale. It reminded me of how we need to faithfully keep finding new refreshing water from the Word of God, so our soul lives don’t get dull.

Finding new things to refresh and delight us, takes more work than tending the “beans.” Psalm 42:1 gives us the essence of what our attitude needs be each week: “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.” Psalm 43:19 tells us: “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.”

Rivers in the desert are surprises, delights, and true survival to a thirsty soul. We need new delights in our Christian walk. The Lord has lots of new delights for us. He says in Psalm 29:3 that “the voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord is upon many waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.”

God sometimes hides His treasures in plain sight. We seek them, and He promises “the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” The Lord’s water “springs” up. The wording indicates a freshness of activity and excitement. God’s water is bubbling and even sometimes turns into the most precious wine. When Jesus turned the water into wine at the wedding party, it was the best wine the guests tasted, and it was a wonderful celebration.

Some of you go to a church where you often hear new sermons to inspire you. If that doesn’t happen for you, then you can easily go on YouTube and check out some new preachers that may talk about things you haven’t heard in church. John 7:38 tells us that living water flows from people filled with the Holy Spirit, and I believe this verse is talking about more than speaking in your personal prayer language: “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” Also, you often hear me talk about doing a word study on a favorite passage. That activity always gets me excited and refreshed.

Beans and water. Let’s keep solid and faithful in the old, well-proven statutes of God’s Word and let’s keep seeking the treasures we can discover in the Lord’s rivers in the desert.

Love, Carolyn

BREAKING DEMONIC TAG TEAMS AND SHATTERING CABALS

BREAKING DEMONIC TAG TEAMS AND SHATTERING CABALS                                                                                                    
The devil knows the value of tag teaming a person with calamity. He counterfeits the ways of our God. God tells us to agree on something good, and it will be done. The devil gets demons to agree and work together to wear us down, to “steal, kill and destroy” like it says the in John 10:10. But God has the answer for that, and we see it in Genesis 11 with the story of Babel. 

Nimrod was a mighty man against our God. God wanted people to spread out across the world, but Nimrod wanted to keep them together. He was tapped into the truth that the power of agreement works wonders, but instead of using it for good, he wanted to use it for evil.

“And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, ‘Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.’

“And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the Lord said, ‘Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

“’Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech’” (Gen. 11:1-7).

 ”Confounding” is the key to breaking up a team of attackers. We pray for divine intervention, confusing the people involved so that they can no longer agree. They can no longer communicate with each other.

Genesis 11:8-9 goes on to say: “The Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build [stopped building] the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.”

What a great key God’s given us in this passage! When the witches’ covens, warlocks, Satanists, various cabals, Illuminati or even small groups of demons are getting together in unity to attack us or our Christian ways, we can pray specifically for God to release the same sources of confusion on the demons and/or the people who are letting the demons influence them.   

The definition of Babel is “mix up and confuse.” James 3:16 says: “For where envy and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.” Envy and strife will wreak havoc in a group that was apparently solid. Unity will quickly begin to deteriorate and shatter. The Bible tells us when “the wicked plots against the just, their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken” (Ps. 37:12-15).

When we pray for the Lord to put the spirit of Babel on a tag team of demons, or on a group targeting Christians, the demons who supported and protected those people, are stopped. Blocking the demons takes the demonic protection from the people, leaving them naked to the consequences of their sins. The evil they intended for others, turns back on them. Their businesses fail; they lose their homes; they fall prey to sickness and disease; their families experience traumas and disasters. All the protection they got from Satan’s minions falls away and a harvest of bad cavalcades down upon them.

Yes, they can get delivered, but God is serious about protecting those who love Him. Our job is to pray and then do what the Lord leads us to do.

God shattered Nimrod’s plans at Babel and warns everyone else: “Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm” (Ps. 105:15). And in Romans 12:19: “Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

Several groups consciously get together to put curses on believers and righteous causes. But demons also agree to attack us and work with separate individuals who are not necessarily connected in the physical. For instance, two or three demons could conspire to influence three different people you meet in one day. The one demon is getting one person to reject you, then a different demon working in someone to sideswipe your car. Then a third demon working with yet another person, inspiring them to blast you on Facebook. When you catch this type of attack, you can easily rebuke the demon group and scatter them like Babel.

Another way this teaming agreement works is when, as in the case of my friend Paul Norcross, it was a barrage of the same type of demon trying to force him to be sick.

He was getting symptoms of a cold, so, in the name of Jesus Christ, he rebuked the demon causing it. He felt great for a while but then the symptoms came back, and he rebuked it again. The same thing happened: He felt great for some time, then the symptoms came back again. He went to the Lord and asked why this was happening. Was he doing something wrong? The Lord told him that several demons were coming at him one after another and he was doing the exact right thing by rebuking them all.

Our God has the answers to every attack. Our Lord Jesus knows how to get us to God’s answers. God dispersed examples throughout the Bible, showing us how to use the answers in our everyday lives.

I know you will be able to use this spirit of Babel key in prayer against God’s enemies, and you’ll become more aware of tag team demons in your life. Let’s stop them in their tracks and send them fleeing!

Love, Carolyn
