Activism

By Leave a Comment

Topic: Humility

Focus: Activism

1 Peter 4:7 (NKJV) But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.

I grew up in the age of activism, when students sat down in public places to non-verbally demonstrate their feelings about social injustice, or picketed and chanted to protest war. My generation strongly objected to what was going on in the world and many felt the need to be involved in bringing about change.

People joined in on the protests for different reasons. Some really cared about the issues. Others were motivated by the urge to push themselves to do something bold that was outside their comfort zone. Still others participated because their friends were involved and they didn’t want to feel left out. Some stood on the sidelines and didn’t protest out of fear that they would get in trouble for it. Others just wanted to be seen…or heard.

Some things changed eventually…and some didn’t.

There are still many things wrong with our world. People still protest…and sometimes it makes a difference.

Today, protesting is sometimes done in other ways. In some cases, people are able to get attention by simply making noise or being annoying. There are corporations that actually pay people to make noise and be annoying, in order to get laws passed or changed so they will be able to do things the way they want to in business. There is a lot of ‘talk’ about human trafficking and other social injustices—but it continues. And war? Well, people just seem to keep on fighting…no matter what.

In all of these issues, there are people who are passionate to ‘have their say’. There are those who are trying to have a voice that will affect their circumstances in the way they would like to. But many others just look the other way.

There is another voice of activism on the earth that has risen up, and that is the voice of the united Christians of the world. People have come together in this generation as never before to organize mass prayer efforts to plead for mercy, grace, and forgiveness. There are many ministries that have been praying around the clock every day of the week, for years—for the healing of many things.

As you consider activism, you might ask yourself what kind of an activist you are. Up to this point, the acts of activists that have been mentioned are things that are ‘seen’ and ‘heard’. Outward expressions.

There is another type of activism I would like to present to you that is of a more private nature—yet, quite possibly more powerful than any of the other types already mentioned.

In 2 Chronicles 7:14, God is encouraging His own people toward acts of humility. He is challenging His people to get down on their faces—stop talking to everybody else about the problems in the world—and start talking to Him. He is offering a solution to the sickness and a way to get the healing we need, but it involves humility. It involves stopping our own wrong habits, and having the willingness to ask for His help.

There are many ways we need to be humbled. The heart of God is touched by humility. He hates pride. Humans want to demand—but God wants us to seek and cry and plead. In many places throughout the Bible, God shows His displeasure against His ‘stiff-necked’ people. Have you ever stopped to think about what it means to be ‘stiff-necked’?

A position of submission is ‘to bow’, or tilt your head forward and lower your eyes. Someone who is ‘stiff-necked’ won’t bow their head—they’re too proud to do such a thing. Yet the Word of God is so clear. As we remind ourselves of  Psalm 37:11, we remember that the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity.

We would also benefit by recalling that the rewards of humility and the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life, as we are told in Proverbs 22:4.

In considering what kind of activism is most effective, let’s also call to mind the words in Micah 6:8 (NKJV), “He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”

Declaration: I will find new strength by becoming a humble prayerful activist. I will continue to make a searching moral inventory of my own life and turn from my own wicked ways. I will seek and cry and plead—for mercy, grace, and forgiveness.

Peace

By Leave a Comment

Topic: Finding the heart

Focus: Peace

Colossians 3:15 (NKJV) And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.

There are a lot of things I’d like to see different in the world. It’s troubling to know that crime is commonplace. It’s hard to see liberalism on the rise…while many conservative people have become calloused and complacent about principles our grandparents would have fiercely defended. What has happened to us?

It can be hard to have a positive outlook, when you view the unrest. It’s natural to want peace and wish that everyone could just get along.

Something that bothers me almost more than the secular society, is the seeming lack of interest on the part of so many Christians, to remember what the Word of God says about the last days and how we should behave—and just get on their knees.

Humans have a strong sense of self-preservation; such an automatic tendency toward self-defense. Some view the events going on in the Middle East and are quick to criticize the actions of the Israelis. I wonder how willingly they would walk away if the ownership of land that was supposed to be theirs, was being questioned…

Without getting into a big debate, I’d like to spend a little time thinking about peace. Peace means different things to different people. Peace might be getting through a day without arguing with anyone, as much as it might mean a cease fire on war-torn foreign soil.

You might not realize it, but there are ways to have control of peace. You may not be able to do anything about missiles being launched or bombs going off, but you can have peace in your heart, in spite of the circumstances in our world.

New Strength Inspirational Statement of the Day

The Bible compares the events of the end times to the birth pangs of an expectant mother when she is in labor and about to give birth. Any pregnant woman in her final month of pregnancy is only concerned with one thing. She just wants to have that baby. You can try to talk about any topic you choose with that woman, and the conversation will always find its way back to pregnancy and childbirth. This is perfectly normal. A pregnant woman is focused. She is passionate to see the baby and be done with pregnancy.

The intensity of world crisis is increasing and catastrophic events are getting closer together. It’s unlikely that a woman who is on the verge of delivery would ever say, “Okay, let’s stop the labor. I think I just want to stay pregnant and not have this baby.” If the end times can truly be compared to childbirth—then we should be saying, “Come, Lord Jesus!” and be focused on our part in the management and cooperation of the advancement of the birthing process.

When I went through birthing classes, we were told to have an object that we focused on when the labor became increasingly hard. We were instructed to breathe in certain ways and we were given various recommendations as to what kind of posture would help, and so on.

Jesus is really coming. The time is getting closer. The struggle is going to continue intensifying. All the things that are going on seem like bad stuff—but it’s really good stuff, when you realize this is the Word of God coming to pass in our lifetime.

Shortly before the baby is born, a pregnant mother goes through the period known as ‘transition’ in the birthing process. It’s a time when she might be apt to become critical of anyone around her. She might find it hard to listen to advice from a birthing coach, but at that time—she really needs to work hard at cooperating with her body—and her coach,  in order to bring forth her child. At that time, it’s vital for her to stay as calm as possible.

World peace is a dream we can wish for…but whether we see world peace or not, we can stay calm and cultivate the ability of allowing the peace of Christ to rule in our hearts. While we tend to be so critical of our leaders and the way things seem to be going in the world—we could be working on cooperating with the body of Christ and our fellow believers right here at home—building unity and peace in whatever way we can, to advance the kingdom of God.

Declaration: I will find new strength by getting a grip on where we really are in the process of Christ coming again. I will stop being critical and start embracing the birth process by staying calm and having the peace of Christ in my heart.

Not holding back

By Leave a Comment

Topic: Loneliness

Focus: Not holding back

Ephesians 3:14-19 (NKJV) For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

If strength is what you lack, there is hope for you today. If you are lonely, you don’t have to stay that way. There really is a way out of the trap you’re in…whatever it is. That thing you haven’t found that you’ve been searching for so long…well, He’s right there in the room with you now. You don’t have to go looking and wondering when you’ll find what’s been missing—you’re the one who’s been missing. It’s not something outside of you that has made you feel incomplete—it’s the vacancy that hasn’t been filled in you.

So what if you said to God, “Give me all You’ve got”…and really meant it? What do you think you’d get? Do you think all of God is enough to fix your problem? I’m pretty sure that getting all of God would change everything about what you think is wrong with the way things have been lately. You really don’t need anything more than more of God.

Oh, but don’t we hold back from giving Him full reign in us? Don’t we want to keep a safe amount of ‘self’, so that we can still think, and feel, and do the favorite things we’ve learned to love? Don’t we want to protect our own interest?

New Strength Inspirational Statement of the Day

There is actually no reason to have any reservations about the possible repercussions. Just break loose of all that bondage in your mind. Freedom and independence in the way we know them, are really the worst kinds of slavery. Anything that encourages self-sufficiency is far from what brings true peace and security.

Real life is being free in another sense. Free to lose yourself in Christ and in the knowledge that HE is the one you have missed. He alone can satisfy the longings of your soul. Life is lonely for anyone until that realization is made. Nothing else will completely fill the void.

You can make the invitation. You can say, “Give it to me, God—I want all You’ve got,” if you’re ready for a real relationship with Him. Something much more than the superficial way you’ve known Him in the past. You might be a little offended at the idea that you haven’t already had as much of Him as you could get. We want to think we’ve been right and that the spiritual side of us is ‘intact’. It’s embarrassing to think that you might not have already ‘had it right’ before now.

Well, maybe you did say something like ‘Give me all You’ve got’ to God at another time in your life, and you’ve always looked back at that moment as though it was the apex, and the Light of His brightness would never shine quite that much again. But, He is so limitless. He knows no bounds. What He was to you then—is nothing compared to what He could be to you now. There is more of you to fill now than there was at that time…and ‘being filled by Him’ is not a one time occurrence. It’s something that goes on and on and on and on and on….or at least it should.

It’s not as though He’s not willing. The brightness of the Lord is like a Light that keeps getting ever brighter and never stops. You can’t wear Him out or use Him up. No matter how much He gives you of Himself today—there will be more for you tomorrow. It’s not a matter of how much He has to give—it’s how willing we are to receive. How much are you able to receive? How big of a hole is in your heart right now? Can you give Him that much space?

One key to releasing the flow of God’s love into you is by telling Him, “Thank You”. If all you feel is brokenness, then thank Him for your brokenness. If you are feeling numb—thank Him for your numbness. All you have to do is start thanking Him for basic things. You have air to breathe—thank Him for that. You have food and water—thank Him for that, too. You’re reading this—thank Him for leading you to these words that are challenging you to build a better relationship with your Heavenly Father, His Son, and the Holy Spirit—by letting the Presence of God, the three in one, into your heart and soul. Keep giving thanks for everything you can possibly think of. Don’t just thank Him for the ‘good stuff’…praise Him for the things that brought you to your knees. Thank Him for the pain and suffering—the loss and loneliness—that has driven you closer to Him.

Begin to live in that kind of atmosphere and you will feel like you crossed over into another universe…His. He’s there for you every minute of the day or night and His love for you is unstoppable and undeniable.

Declaration: I will find new strength by opening my heart and soul to take in more and more of God each day.

Cultivating an atmosphere of peace

By Leave a Comment

Topic: Managing stress

Focus: Cultivating an atmosphere of peace

John 14:27 (NKJV) Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Jesus didn’t say, “Stress I leave with you, Stress I give to you; just like the world gives do I give to you. Let your heart be troubled, and also let it be afraid.” So, why do we think it’s our responsibility to cultivate the opposite of what He intended for us to have?

Choosing peace instead of stress should be a no brainer, right? But sometimes when we’re faced with an overwhelming amount of reasons to choose stress—we have to remind ourselves that there are other options.

My husband and I have a plan that we’re working on together. Our plan has the potential of bringing us freedom and some rest from our labor, eventually.

For years, we were caught up in the ‘hands on’ period of being ‘married with children’. There was so much to do and so many needs to be attended to, that we rarely had time to even think of a future for ourselves at all, much less make plans. During those years, it seemed to us that the most important thing was to give our children a nice big home where they could have plenty of room to ‘stretch out’ or have friends over when they wanted to.

New Strength Inspirational Statement of the Day

When we planned our home, we imagined the birthday parties and sleepovers and school projects and tried to create a home that would be perfect for all of those activities. There was a considerable amount of stress during the 18 months or so that it took to put it all together with engineering, permitting, and building—but we got there, and we had a lot of years of enjoyment in our home.

With the girls grown up, we’d been dreaming of a smaller home that would be more practical and easier to maintain. A few months ago, we found a place that really appealed to us, and for the past couple of weeks we’ve been ‘almost ready’ to close on the property. Everyday, it seems like they want ‘one more piece of information’, and we always think, ‘Well there, now we can close!’ Until the next day when there is, ‘just one more thing…’

Today could have been ‘one of those days’ for me. Stress came calling bright and early, after a short night. I was scheduled to work at my ‘day job’, and as I checked my emails before leaving home, there were more requests for information. I was thankful that I could pull everything together by only taking an extra half hour off, in addition to my lunch hour—but the hard part about it was that I really didn’t get a break all day.

In the afternoon, I was out on the road finishing up the errands I’d been doing for my boss and dropping off more paperwork for our closing. While I was driving back to the office, I noticed that my chest felt tight and realized I wasn’t breathing deeply enough—besides the headache I’d had since I got up. I’d been talking to God at every opportunity all morning, but I also knew that stress had still crept in. I needed to spend some time praising Him, make some declarations about our situation, and take authority over what was going on with my body.

To prepare myself, I sang a few songs that reminded me of the power of God. Just doing that helped quite a bit. Next, I ‘went over’ my body and spoke declarations of healing and peace, by naming every organ I could think of, and then I prayed for my joints, muscles, cells and tissues. I continued by pleading the blood of Jesus over my body, mind, and spirit, and I bound the enemy from all evil attacks against my body, mind, and spirit, as well as the closing of our new property. While I was at it, I prayed for all of my family members, claiming divine health and wholeness for all of us, in the Name of Jesus Christ.

I felt a lot better. The tightness in my chest was gone and my breathing seemed better, too. Tonight, I felt myself a little tense after the realtor called and told me there was an issue with the survey that she would be working on in the morning. Additionally, with a tropical storm brewing in the eastern Caribbean, the insurance company informed us that they wouldn’t be able to issue the binder on the new policy for another day or two. Of course I felt irritated and started to feel the stress in my shoulders, so I sat down and did some more deep breathing and reminded myself that God’s will is for us to be at peace. I spent some time listening to some calming, Christian songs about peace and did some stretching with my arms and neck to relieve the tension.

In your life—and mine, there is a daily opportunity to allow stress—or peace to rule our body, mind, and spirit. When we feel ourselves being affected by our circumstances, we need to take time out to deal with it.

Declaration: I will find new strength by actively choosing peace instead of stress. I will apply my faith and practical methods of cultivating a peaceful atmosphere where the Holy Spirit is welcome and able to give me comfort and help.

Turning to the Lord in loneliness and pain

By Leave a Comment

Topic: Loneliness

Focus: Turning to the Lord in loneliness and pain

Psalm 25:16-17 (NCV) Turn to me and have mercy on me, because I am lonely and hurting. My troubles have grown larger; free me from my problems.

Any trial seems to make loneliness and pain seem worse–just like trials seem bigger when you’re already lonely and in pain.

When you’re in that condition, it seems like the whole world is out to get you…especially when there’s no sign that there will be a change any time soon.

The only thing good about pain is that it brings us to our knees—and the only thing good about being lonely, is the way it causes people to draw closer to God.

Now, you can listen and/or read!

New Strength Inspirational Statement of the Day

When everything else fails—the Lord is there for you. When all of your other options have been removed and your back is against the wall, He is there. He is faithful. Psalm 147:3 says, ‘He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.’

In Isaiah 45:22 (KJV), the Lord answers the cry of the lonely and lost. He says, ‘Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.’

Turning to the Lord is the key—not turning to entertainment, or to people, or to any other kind of substitute.

When we turn to Him, some of the promises of the Lord in Isaiah 61 tell how He will comfort all that mourn and give those who grieve a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. He says the brokenhearted will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor.

The Lord will replace your shame with a double portion of goodness and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. You will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.

The Lord loves justice and hates robbery and wrongdoing. In His faithfulness, He will reward His people and make an everlasting covenant with them.

When we are in need of comfort, it’s strange the way we turn everywhere else to try to find it. We try to fill the void that only God can fill—in so many destructive ways. When we don’t find the help we need—we sometimes resent Him, as though He hasn’t been willing to help us. When actually, we have been trying to fill our need of Him with other things. The only answer to the loneliness and pain we suffer is the Lord, Himself. All other substitutes are temporary. Nothing but the love and fulfillment He can give will be able to bring us lasting help.

The Lord alone is the answer to the cry of your heart. He is the all becoming One—able to ‘be’ whatever you lack. That’s why He is known as ‘I AM’—because ‘HE IS’ everything. Find all of your hope in Him.

The quantity of His mercy is greater than the quantity of your failure. The extent of His grace is greater than the degree of your sin.

In Romans 8:31 the Apostle Paul tells us, ‘What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?’ In verses 37-39 he goes on to say, ‘Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.’

Wherever you hurt today—the Lord is able to bandage your wound and heal it. He doesn’t despise your loneliness and the broken state of your heart. His true desire is for you to turn to Him with your whole being and find all of your satisfaction in Him. He is the friend you long for—the One who is able to carry all of your pain.

Declaration: I will find new strength by turning to the Lord in a fuller and deeper way than I have in the past. I believe He is able to heal my pain and take away my loneliness by filling me completely. I will find all my satisfaction in Him.
