I watched my one-legged
mockingbird chase away several bigger pigeons. It’s like he didn’t even know or
care that they were greater in number and more than twice his size. And the
pigeons flew away. It’s like that with us spiritually. When we get to know our
Lord Jesus Christ, we don’t need to have any fear about getting rid of the
spiritual pigeons. If we can truly, from the bottom of our hearts, do what the
song says, “I surrender all,” we are on a path to greater freedom and victory
than we’ve ever known. “And ye shall
know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32).
Jane and I pray and read our scriptures each morning. When we come Luke
5:5 and read the phrase, “nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net,”
I look up at the picture across from me of Jesus and the children and say to
myself, “Jesus I’m letting out all the nets.”
It doesn’t mean every day will be a happy one; but I do know that I will
have another portion of His truth and that’s worth everything.
Each day we end our prayer time with, “I can hardly wait to see what You
have for today.”
Surrendering all to Jesus Christ, the Lord of our lives, is not a
flippant act. It means you open yourself up to see some of the bigger pigeons
in your own life as well as those in other’s lives. But the great thing is that
“in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him that loved us” (Rom 8:37).
My eyes have been
opened in the past 7 months to new spiritual truths and where to find them in
the Bible: things like Legion and the cause of mental disorders, Agag and the influx
of witchcraft (it’s a lot different than you might expect), and Balak, the
demonic power that tries to stop us.
This is worth listening
to. It’ll give you answers to some of those tough questions. It’s all in the Bible,
but sometimes we need someone to open it up to us. Just get past her flesh and
listen to the truths she exposes.
Part 3 is on Legion, Part
4 is on Agag and 5 is on Balak. This will change your life.
Love, Carolyn
