Looking for a Quick Fix

Observations of Human Nature

There is a process of discipline required for spiritual warfare and spiritual transformation as described in Ephesians 6:10-20, 2 Corinthians 10:3-6, 2 Corinthians 3:18 and many other scriptures.

Our human nature is impatient with a slow process. We crave instant easy solutions. What if a touch of power from an anointed man will fix all my problems! A little prick will keep my child healthy. A prayer, a touch, and everything can be changed in a moment!

We don’t want to acknowledge our own weakness and contribution to our current circumstance. We don’t want to spend time developing spiritual muscles through prayer, reading and memorizing God’s word. We don’t want to take total responsibility for our health and our lifestyle choices.

We want an easy route. We want a relatively pain-free option. Instant healing.

Discipleship takes time. Maturity takes time. Resorting health is not instant. A daily connection with our holy God through His word – which is accessed and illuminated only through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ will lead us to truth, abundant life, and blessing on our family.

The original disciples spent three years in the daily presence of Jesus, yet they still lacked understanding. How can we expect a faster route? Jesus told the man he had instantly healed – stop sinning. Our problem is our sin. Our tendency to go our own way, respond to our natural urges, seek quick easy answers, and put ourselves first, rather than reflect on the character of God and seek His refinement of our heart.

Our human nature makes us vulnerable to those who offer easy answers. We succumb to a sales pitch for vaccines, statin drugs, knee replacements, psych drugs, etc. These seem to offer a simple solution and are easier than discipline, exercise, healthy food, and positive life-style choices. Natural birth, breastfeeding, and responsive parenting rather than day care or a nanny, seem too difficult. Cultivating listening to the Spirit of God seems like an unattainable goal.

We crave power. We want to see power and victory in our life. The power we need is the power over sin. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would give us power to be witnesses to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This power must first be exercised on our own hearts.

Leaders must be careful not to bend to the desires of the people. People want a touch and a quick solution. Leaders feel pressured to provide it.

Colossians 2:23 makes it clear that true maturity does not come through following a lot of rules. “Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.” The root of our dilemma is sensual indulgence. How do we overcome that? The very next two verses are key, Colossians 3:1-2 “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set you minds on things above, not on early things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.”

Our challenge as leaders (and as parents) is to guide those we are responsible for into an understanding of how to overcome and restrain from sensual indulgence; fleshly indulgence, satisfying the flesh. We have to grow to maturity ourselves, and lead others to maturity by modeling the behavior.

“Therefore with minds that are alert and fully sober set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed. As obedient children, do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance. But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do. As it is written, ‘Be holy for I am holy.’” 2 Peter 1:13-16.

“We put no stumbling block (obstacle) in anyone’s way so that our ministry will not be discredited. Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way…in purity, knowledge, patience, kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love; in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;” 2 Corinthians 6:3-7.

The entire chapter of 2 Corinthians 6 is extremely instructive. God grants righteousness. This is described in Ephesians 6. The breastplate of righteousness is one of the weapons we require for spiritual warfare. Righteousness is produced over time as we allow the Holy Spirit to guide and control our thoughts and actions.

We need to encourage those we lead that they are God’s temple. God wants to do His work in them. God is able to nourish and protect His temple. They need to honor and protect the temple God has provided for them, not to poison it and expect a good outcome.

Looking for an easy quick solution usually backfires.

Beware of Snakes

Creative Writing based on 2 Corinthians 11 – an ancient letter written by Paul to the people of Corinth who were facing a conflict about who they should trust, who they should follow, who they should believe.

“But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the snake’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.” v3

For if ‘experts’ come to you and preach a salvation outside of Jesus, you put up with it easily enough. They offer ‘salvation through man-made technology’ or ‘salvation through man-made medicine’.

I don’t think I am inferior to your white coats. I may not have their intensive indoctrination —err training. I may not be eloquent, but I have knowledge. I have dedicated myself to focus on the topic of health and asked the Holy Spirit to guide me with insight and courage to share unpopular information. The U.S. has exported many things to the world. We even proudly export our ‘health care’ when we have an abysmal health track record.

I’ve never charged for my information. I share freely. My husband supports me marvelously.

WHO, CDC, NIH, FDA – these organizations (and many others) are the epitome of false prophets, deceitful workers, masquerading as bearers of truth. There may be some good people working in these places, but these significant agencies have been hijacked and captured by those who would profit from lies.

Are we surprised? “Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light!” v. 14

“It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.” v. 15

“You gladly put up with fools since you are so wise.” v. 19 You put up with fools who have status, degrees, positions. People who openly defy God yet proclaim their strategies as the hope of mankind.

“In fact, you put up with anyone who enslaves you or exploits you or takes advantage of you or puts on airs” or injects poisons into your children. Or mandates poison so you can work, or travel, or attend events. Or forces you to deprive yourself of oxygen. You put up with it.

I admit that I am not that forceful. I will share what I believe to be true and encourage you to make your own decisions. I won’t tell you what to do. I will warn you of the harms of certain medical procedures that are being pushed on us. Get all the information you can and choose wisely.

Holding to the truth may mean you will be rejected by your own family, scorned, maligned. Stay anchored, unwavering from the hope in Jesus you profess.

Do I make mistakes? Yes. Do I know everything? No. Even now, I may be wrong, but you can absolutely trust that I am not lying.

Let God be praised and glorified as we seek the ONLY salvation and ONLY hope for our time, Jesus Christ.

What did Jesus say about His return?

Lightening flashing across the sky

A few reflections. A mini devotional. I do NOT possess all the answers!

My son and I were discussing Biblical prophesy. In light of world events many are seeking to figure out what is going on in the world, and what is coming. I don’t claim to know, but I keep going back to the Bible and I ask myself, What is clear?

In Luke 21 Jesus predicts the temple will be destroyed and the disciples ask Him, when?

Does His answer cover only the destruction of the temple, or does it also cover His return, the event we know as the ‘Second Coming’? I don’t know.

Either way, we can take His words to heart, “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” Luke 21: 34-36

Earlier, in Luke 17, the Pharisees asked Jesus WHEN the kingdom of God would come. Jesus said it’s not something you will see, it is something within you.

Jesus says “It will be just like this on the day the Son of Man is revealed” referring to the days before the flood and the days before Sodom was destroyed. Both acts reveal God’s judgment, but people were just living life and unaware of the big change that the world would experience. 

Jesus is conveying urgency. Don’t go back to your house to get your possessions. Flee from the judgment. Don’t be like Lot’s wife – attached to the material comfort she had gotten used to.

Jesus says clearly, “Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it.” Luke 17:33

This is clear. The next verses have been interpreted many ways. What are these words of Jesus supposed to mean? Leaving all my preconceived ideas, or previous teaching, what do they say?

“I tell you, on that night” [which night? His Second coming? The destruction of Jerusalem?]. Bear in mind that the original question was when the kingdom of God would come.

“Two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding corn together; one will be taken and the other left.” Luke 17:34-35

“‘Where, Lord?’” they asked.” Who is the “they”? Disciples or Pharisees? Were they asking where those who are taken would be taken to? Somewhat unclear.

Jesus’ answer is wide open to interpretation. “Where there is a dead body, there the vultures will gather.” Luke 17:37

Wow. What does that mean? One thing is clear to me, Jesus didn’t intend to be clear! If Jesus is not clear, should we seek to force clarity?

What is clear from these words, this teaching of Jesus? The kingdom of God is not what we expect. We need to be ready and watchful. We need to loosen our attachment to the material world. We need to grow our faith and trust in God and His provision. We can pray (from Luke 21:36) that we may be able to escape (with our loved ones) and that we will be able to stand before Jesus. This makes me think of the parable of the talents as related in Matthew 24. We have all been entrusted with life and blessings and one day we will stand before our Creator and give an account of how we used what He gave us.

One thing more, verse 24 says “For the Son of Man in His day will be like lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other. But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.”

It is unclear what “the Son of Man in His day” means. But it will be evident and obvious. Could this be a reference to when the curtain in the temple was torn from top to bottom, unusual darkness had been over the earth, and people came out of their graves at the time of Jesus’ death? This is possibly inferred from the next verse, “But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.”

Think about all the people living in the time of Noah and Lot. We are told that wickedness abounded. But there were perhaps many other people who were just tolerating the wicked, and just trying to live their life the best they knew how. They knew the wickedness happening all around them was evil and perhaps some chose not to participate, but they didn’t hate it enough to point it our or separate themselves from it. They tolerated it. The angels visited Lot. People, innocent bystanders, could have joined Lot and his family to flee the corruption. They either didn’t believe judgment was coming, or didn’t believe Lot offered a legitimate safety option. Noah spent 80 years building the huge structure we know as the ark. During that time he preached and warned. There was ample room in the ark for all who could see the coming judgment and would put their trust in God’s provision to escape it. Yet except for Noah, his three sons, and their wives, all stuck steadfastly with the culture. They stayed with the material life that they knew. They may have been victims of evil. They may have been observers. No doubt there was a wide range of response to the evil and wickedness happening at that time. But only those who fully trusted God and demonstrated it by the action of walking into the ark were protected. 

How do I apply Jesus’ teaching on future events from these passages to my life? Should I have absolute confidence that God will rescue me out of judgment and I’ll sail away before it happens? Did Jesus promise that those who follow Him will avoid all suffering? Most of us recognize the proliferation of evil around us. But do we separate ourselves from it? What does that even look like in 2021? 

The people living during the time of Noah and Lot were just doing the best they could under difficult circumstances, but failed to dig into the heart of God, understand the world from a spiritual perspective, believe His word and warnings, and look to Him for deliverance. Jesus’ death and resurrection ushered in the kingdom of God. Everything changed for mankind from that time forward. This is clear from what Jesus said about John the Baptist, “I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” Luke 7:28.

I cannot fully fathom God’s mysteries. I don’t understand the many references to future events, but I can respond with gratitude. 

Thank you, Lord Jesus, risen Savior, that I have been washed. I am forgiven. I have been ‘taken’. I have been ‘released’ from the power of the god of this world and You will deliver me through whatever trials may come. Help me to offer light to those still in darkness and to love them enough to warn them of the coming judgement. Help me to rightly discern Your word and world events so that I can walk boldly in the provision and protection of Your Holy Spirit. I do not know the future or understand fully how everything will transpire, but I trust in Your provision and protection. Help me to stand strong before you in the strength You provide.

Who Me?

“As high as the heavens are about the earth, so are My thoughts higher than your thoughts and My ways higher than your ways.” Isaiah 55:9

What does God desire? Is there ONE thing God desires more than anything else?

Repentance. What is it? A recognition and acknowledgment that I have done wrong, that I have been pursuing the wrong path. Even my best efforts, my noblest deeds, apart from my Creator, are of no credit or value to Him. HE must be my starting point, my inspiration.

True repentance denotes a change of mind. Not a whimsical change, an enduring, lasting change. I must realize I am not good; I need a new heart and mind to even grasp what defines ‘good.’ Jesus clearly stated that we cannot embrace God, our Creator, without fully accepting and embracing Jesus Himself. Refusing to repent of the basic flaws in our thinking prevents us from fully receiving all the Creator desires to bestow on us.

Repentance is HARD! It challenges us to the core of who we think we are. The older we are, the more challenging it will be, because the foundation of all we profess to know about ourselves and the world around us, must shift to allow the light of Jesus Christ to re-interpret everything.

How do I being? Honestly. Perhaps like this,

“Lord God, my Maker, I don’t really believe my biggest problem is me, or that I need to repent. But I have a desire burning in my heart to know You, to please You, and to do good. Help me start where I am. Reveal Yourself and Your truth to me. I’m not convinced that Jesus is the exclusive access point to You, but I’m willing to explore. Since You designed me and all I see, I accept that You are higher and greater. If You indeed can be known by me, I accept Your offer. Lead me.”

The Biggest Deception

Posted on by

Society has been sanitized.
Cleansed from vital information.
Our culture contrives to conceal
Two critically important facts:
Our Creator and our enemy.
The King of glory,
Creator, Designer, and ruler of all,
In whom justice and mercy
Perfectly balance,
Full of grace and truth,
Seeks to restore, heal, empower, and guide
Every individual who surrenders.
Yet at every point the enemy seeks
To twist, distort, hide, and ignore
The reality of our Creator
And His absolute love for us.
The enemy tempts with counterfeit pleasures.
Feed our appetites;
Feed our desires.
Seeks to obliterate knowledge of God,
Through lies and deception,
Starting with the very young.
The enemy leads us to follow
Our own lusts and passions;
Distractions abound;
Desensitization to his methods
From earliest childhood.
By any and all means,
The enemy of our souls
Seeks to keep us disconnected
From our Creator.
He may lure with wealth, success, satisfaction
Yet hates us with a
Malignant malevolent furious contempt.
Don’t be fooled.
He is a deceiver.
Correctly understanding these
Two essential foundational realities
Changes everything.
Reframes our reality
In its true context.
My life, for the glory of God alone.

I reflect on these things with thankfulness knowing that through Jesus, I have been “rescued from the dominion of darkness and brought into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom I have redemption the forgiveness of sins.” (Colossians 1:13-14)

When Did Jesus Get Angry?

Angry toddler 2Jesus was furious. A man with a deformed hand needed help and healing, yet all the powerful people in positions of authority were more concerned about trapping Jesus and enhancing their own reputations, than they were about helping one man in need. Jesus, looking around in anger was grieved at the hardness of their hearts. (Mark 3:1-5)

Jesus was angry because the Jewish leaders were more concerned about their rules, their system, their reputation, their control, and their personal wealth, than they were about helping people receive healing.

InvestmentTheir system gave them prestige, power, authority, and wealth. Jesus, God in human form, was standing right in front of them, but they couldn’t even recognize Him. They demonstrated more concern for preserving their prestige than discovering the TRUTH.

A true encounter with Jesus will challenge our basic assumptions to the core. Letting go of a strongly held belief system can be a fearful experience. Coming to Jesus from a position of pain or weakness, like the man with the deformed hand, was much easier. What did he have to lose? He was already an outcast.

But the Pharisees were blinded by their position and wanted to hold on to the power and authority they thought they possessed. They didn’t realize they were in bondage. By holding on, they were harming themselves and perpetuating harm and injustice on others. That made Jesus furious.

Am I holding on to something that is preventing me from receiving something Jesus wants to give me? Am I holding on to something that could be a stumbling block or even causing harm to others?

These are difficult questions, but are imperative for those of us who are following truth and seeking to live a fully examined life before our Creator.

Here are a few more uncomfortable questions:

Does my business or my employer:

  • serve or produce poison or toxins in any way, shape, or form?
  • truly help people toward longterm health and wellbeing?
  • hide information that may damage their reputation or bottom line?
  • make money through the harm they cause to others?

Imagine how our world could change if all the “good” people resigned from working for “bad” companies. Imagine if we were all able to live completely ethically, relying on Jesus to guide and provide. A high ideal, but I like to imagine…

The Paradox of Faith

Posted on by

SONY DSC

I heard a talk, Taking Possession of Tomorrow by Bill Johnson. I took some notes and had a few reflections. This is by no means a comprehensive review of what he said, partly from Joel 2.

Imagine an entire city
Recognizing their need for God!

Our faith, our boldness, our obedience,
Can alter the course of history!

Don’t list the opposition you’ve experienced.
Don’t list the challenges you are facing.
Focus on what God is able to do
Through the resurrected Jesus!

Lord, alter my thoughts;
Altar my dreams;
Extend my vision
To see all YOU can do.

Bring the fruit of the impossible for the glory of Jesus.

That was all I had from Bill’s inspiring talk,
But that got me reflecting on WHY
More Christians don’t wholeheartedly
Run towards God,
With life-changing faith.
Why don’t we experience
The resurrected power of Jesus in our lives?

The Faith Dilemma

It is quite difficult
When you are so entrenched
In mediocre Christianity.
There is no urgency, no power,
No evidence of God at work.
Many of us have never known
Anything except comfortable Christianity
For our whole life.
We rarely, or maybe NEVER,
Have seen anyone healed
By the power of God.
We pray, but do we actually expect
Tangible answers to our prayers?
Mostly we stick to safe prayers.
We don’t want to ask too much
Of God. Perhaps we feel unworthy
Of His attention, or that our request
Isn’t noble enough.

I am comfortable and in control
When life is predictable.
My time is spent acquiring stuff,
Paying my bills, watching my shows,
Looking after the people in my life.
Do I need anything more?
More of God?
I don’t even know what that looks like.
I think I’ll pass.
I’d rather have the current amount.
Just the comfortable serving.
So I’ll be more like all of my friends.

Or maybe,

If I risk seeking more of God,
He won’t come through for me.
Maybe those ‘comfortable Christians’
Are the reality.

Maybe this desire for “more” of God
Is just pride. I think I’m better,
Or have a greater understanding, etc.
But if I were to test it,
If I seek to step boldly out
On what I perceive to be God’s promises,
And I fall flat,
Provision doesn’t come in,
The power of God is not displayed.
Not only will I be disgraced and discouraged,
But my example may lead people
Further from the truth.

So I stay stuck;
Comfortable in what I know.

Is God Quiet?

shhhh-1433634-639x852So often we live like God is quiet,
or not operating on earth;
like the inter-testamental times.

We don’t see the supernatural.
We don’t expect the supernatural.

Yet God, the Creator of all things
invites us into a relationship with Himself.

Think about that.

Imagine a person with a ‘Midas’ touch,
or phenomenal money-making ability.
What would it be like
to have a close relationship with them?
Their blessings would naturally overflow.
What if that person was your father,
who loved you absolutely?

God has glorious unlimited resources.

We worry about food and provisions.

My Creator – has the power
AND the DESIRE
To empower me
TO DO HIS WORK ON EARTH
Through the inner strength,
wisdom and guidance
Of the Holy Spirit.
Too often I stay mired in basic struggles:
Feelings of insecurity,
Struggles with habits
Relational challenges.
I don’t seek or experience
God’s power that I read about
In the Bible.
If I could comprehend
How wide, long, high and deep
God’s love FOR me is, and that
He can fill me with COMPLETENESS;
HE INVITES me to join Him in the work
He is doing on earth.
He has absolute power,
God is able to accomplish
INFINITELY MORE
Than I could ever think to ask for
Than I could ever dream or imagine.

All given freely
By His grace.
Nothing I could ever earn.

Boldly

Baby Dad silhouetteThrough our faith in Christ
We can come boldly
And confidently
Into the presence
Of God.

Think about that.

One would think
That God’s presence
Would evoke fear, or
Guilt;
Feelings of inadequacy;
Thoughts of judgment;
and punishment deserved.
Not measuring up, comparison,
Lack of blessing, shame,
A remembrance of rules, laws, punishment.

Yes, God gave the law
As a guide,
Fully knowing how impossible
It would be
For us to keep it.
The purpose of the law
Was to show our inability to keep it,
No matter how hard we try.

Yet Christ’s death
Abolished the law,
Allowing us to enter
Boldly,
Confidently,
Into the very presence
Of God.

Awesome.

Truth Seekers

cosmosArguably the most powerful words ever spoken on our earth:

My kingdom is not of this world (kosmos). If My kingdom were of this world, my subjects would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders, but My kingdom is not from here.

The reason I was born and have come into this world (kosmos) is to testify to (share, highlight, reveal) TRUTH. Everyone who seeks truth, who is on the side of truth, will hear (pay attention, understand, obey, accept) my voice. spoken by Jesus, recorded by John 18:36-37, Becky’s paraphrase

Seeking Truth

The extent of evil
Oozing in every sphere of life
Forces me to seek the LIGHT.
Wholeheartedly.
Unreservedly.

Not on my terms or conditions
For how can I impact or dictate
To the LIGHT?

I seek the totality of the pure LIGHT.
The LIGHT of truth.
The truth that brings healing; wholeness.

The truth that seeks good;
Demands justice.

The truth that fully accepts.

The truth that does not conform
To my ideals or expectations.

I must conform and align
To Truth.

I am fascinated by the topic of truth. In the information age in which we live, truth seems to have become more and more elusive. So much conflicting information is available. We are exposed to theories and arguments on every side, with multiple issues. How do we discern truth?

When the Spirit of TRUTH comes, he will guide you into all TRUTH. Jesus, John 16:13

Jesus prayed to God, the Father for us, this is what he said, “Make them holy by Your TRUTH; teach them your word, which is TRUTH.” John 17:17

I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE, no man comes to the Father, but by Me. Jesus, John 14:6

“I am the LIGHT of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the LIGHT that leads to LIFE.” Jesus, John 8:12

“But now I am going away to the one who sent me, and not one of you is asking where I am going. Instead, you grieve because of what I’ve told you. But in fact, it is best for you that I go away, because if I don’t, the Advocate won’t come. If I do go away, then I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment. The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me. Righteousness is available because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more. Judgment will come because the ruler of this world has already been judged.

“There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can’t bear it now. When the Spirit of TRUTH comes, he will guide you into all TRUTH. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.” Jesus, John 16:5-13
