Fearful

Dear Judy,


So many changes in our world. Things I could not have imagined. I love the Lord, but when I hear all the dark stuff in the news, it scares me. How do I keep from that happening!

Dear Fearful,


The greatest thing we always need to remember is what Jesus did on the cross for all humanity! He came from heaven to earth and went through a horrible death as He paid the price for all our sins; then He rose again and is alive and well, sitting at the right hand of the Father interceding for us! That is the good news! Those who believe this are saved and have eternal life. This means that once we complete our earthly journey, we shall live with Him forever! What could be better than that?


And God does not want us to keep this wonderful truth to ourselves. We should want others to know Him also. (Do you?) We are now ambassadors for Christ and reconcilers for Christ, according to 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, 6:1. Wow, what a job. When we remember this, we will know our Lord is with us and will help us to finish what we are purposed to do.


I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8


Yes, we should know what is going on in the world and our hometowns, but we have to monitor how much we allow in our life. No matter how dark or terrible things look, our Lord tells us to read His Word to know truth! We are called the light of the world, and light always dispels darkness! So if you are getting fearful, shut off the TV and read your Bible more to allow His promises to penetrate your life.


But You, O LORD, do not be far from Me; O My Strength, hasten to help Me! Palm 22:19

After salvation

By Dr. Judy Baus • May 1, 2025
By faith, just like you received Christ as your personal Savior and Lord, you will release the language! Just get on your knees and surrender. Ask the Lord Jesus to baptize you with the Holy Spirit and He will! Find a Bible preaching Pentecostal church where the Spirit is moving with signs and wonders and miracles. This is all very exciting!

New Creation

By Dr. Judy Baus • June 2, 2025
The Lord speaks to us through His manual for success (Bible). But are we listening? We are living in very evil times, but we can also see revival among people if we watch Christian News. When people get saved in great numbers, we need to pray for them to truly get connected. A merely emotional experience is not becoming born again. Conversion is believing that the Lord Jesus Christ went to the cross, died, and rose again, and we ask Him to forgive our sin.

Hope

By Dr. Judy Baus • May 1, 2025
Every day we hear something in the news that is so devastating, but as children of God we always have hope. So many Christians might attend church and read the Bible but still have no understanding of the Lord’s precious gift of Hope. Hope brings and builds trust IN our Lord no matter what happens.

So many horrible things

By Dr. Judy Baus • April 7, 2025
Everywhere we look, so many people are going through horrible things. Every time I take a hot shower, the Lord brings to my mind how many people have no water at all! Bad weather and fires have destroyed so many lives. People without the Lord have no hope. But those who have received Jesus as their personal Savior and are trusting HIM and His Promises found in their manual for success (the Bible) – they have hope!

Wilderness

By Dr. Judy Baus • March 10, 2025
Have you ever thought about the word “wilderness” and what that means for the Christian and the non-Christian? To be a Christian we must believe—which is to trust and have confidence that Jesus Christ died on the cross for the sins of the world and rose again! Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
