Christian Music … I had the pleasure of hearing instrumentals and songs that make a difference in someone’s life. People we’re thrilled when they had an occasion to talk about a favorite. The lyrics and the melody reach out and fill our moments with meaning and we appreciate the sensation. During the days when we used records on radio, announcers had a saying about songs that became people’s favorites, “God’s voice is speaking to them in the grooves.” A music artist intentionally desires to bring Jesus closer to your present.

One Powerful Way to Immediately Calm Your Chaos

Is This You?

You feel trapped. You feel lost. You don’t know which way to turn.

If you’re feeling anxious this will help you stop the chaos and regain the calm you desire. Here’s why: Jesus can quiet your turmoil.

Jesus provides a sure outcome, but you need to recognize there’s a definite cost to not dealing with the situation you are experiencing.

If you ignore the Jesus solution your circumstances only gets worse. I’m not meaning to scare you, but honestly what most people do when facing trapped or lost contentment is to:

  • Push harder to go it alone.

  • Ask someone unqualified for advice.

  • Ignore what works.

And what happens if you just do nothing? If you just keep doing what you’re doing now? Anxiety, fear, and worry cause panic and hopelessness… you’re trapped, lost, and wandering without direction. You may give up because you see no way out.

I’ve been in this place. My chaos nearly overwhelmed me until I applied the solution to my woe. Hear me out, this answer works. You can get out of bed and face the world again.

There Is A Way Out

Consider these people:

  • The woman with an incurable physical problem the doctors gave up on. [click Here] 

  • The despised tax collector. [click HERE] 

  • The disciples terror in the storm on Lake Galilee. [click HERE]

When you remember to call on Jesus like these people you will put yourself in a position to experience:

  • Physical transformation.
  • Emotional transformation.
  • Deliverance transformation.

It all comes about because of an inexplainable power Jesus has to defeat any bedlam and deliver results, bringing peace to your distressing circumstances.

Follow The Bread Crumbs

The Jesus solution is worth your time. Try it. That is all I’m suggesting. Try it today. When it gets results, use it again tomorrow. And then make it a part of dealing with your everyday world. You’ll be delighted with the outcome and Jesus assures you deliverance is a real possibility. (1 Peter 5:7).  This is the powerful solution to calm your chaos.

Walk Back to Safety

It’s decision time. You have a choice to make: Do what you’ve been doing (or worse do nothing at all). You know where that leads. Is this what you want? Take a new action, and get a new result. Finally realize calm in the chaos.

Be bold. Do what others are reluctant to do. Do this right now.

Why You Can Face Today With No Fear or Worry

Posted on by

 

I don’t know if you’ve been here … it could be you’re here now … maybe not. Either way here’s the story, it’s a short story, please hear me out.

no fear

 

 

 

 

 

At the time I was afraid. I was worried. It’d been happening day after day, usually in the morning. The what ifs ganged up on me and bullied my thoughts.

I lived in a state of panic. A series of thought questions played over and over in my imagination like in the movie, “Groundhog Day,”

  • What if I’m beaten, will I survive?
    Is there any hope for me?
    Can I get out of this place alive?

Like the weather man, Phil Connors, in Groundhog Day I began to work on a strategy to break loose from my fear and worry time-loop.

  • What if I just turn around and walk away?
    What if I just pretend this isn’t happening?
    What if I fight?
    What are my chances of winning?

My mind whirled, occupied with the business of freedom. Yet I was cursed to relive what I wished to flee.

  • I felt panic.
    It attacked me.
    I couldn’t focus.
    My heart pounded.
    I gasped for air.
    I prayed in desperation, My God help me!

That’s when something happened.

I’ll try to explain it, although I find it inexplainable. I didn’t notice that my circumstances changed much immediately. Still I felt a peace, a calm, unlike yesterday’s terror.

No sense of fear haunted me.

But I did sense a training in dealing with my fear and worry had begun. I learned to relax and focus.

On what did I focus?

Jesus.

My spiritual eyes focused on Jesus. I’d read about doing this in Hebrews 12 but until then, I’d never followed through with what I’d read.

But as I practiced this my fear and worry were replaced by the freedom I longed for.

I realize my story sounds too simple. I would say so too, except I know I was afraid and then I wasn’t afraid. I know I was worried and then I wasn’t worried.

Confidence replaced fear and worry.

It’s like the man saying to the Pharisees, “I don’t know how it happened. All I know is once I was blind, but now I can see.”

That’s all the evidence I need.

As I focus on Jesus, I can seize today with no fear or worry.

 

If this is a day where you are caught up in fear listen to this song:

Veronica Petrucci No Fear

This song is based on 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

 

Bless your day.

 

Leaving the Darkness to Live In the Light

Posted on by

 

Light

1. One step forward. Don’t live in the future. Don’t live in the past. Live in the present.

2. This is the day the Lord has made, rejoice and be glad in it.

3. Forget about: “What if” … I had done this or that? Decide to live now. Because “now” is your chance to step forward.

 

 

I sat with a small group in the Temple and we heard him speak.

He said:
“When you’re laughing or
When you’re crying
I am with you.
I’ll never let you go.
You can depend on me.
Come live in the light,
Won’t you?”
