#anewsongrisesup

Have you ever felt you were under someone’s thumb, in their control? “Oppression” is meant to bring you down, but there is help available. 

 Casey shares about a period of oppression in her life and how the Lord brought her through it as she reads a portion of her personal reflections in her nonfiction, 
A New Song Rises Up!

Always, she shares to bring encouragement to others and to shout out how awesome the Lord is.

In today’s episode, “Faith of a Mustard Seed,” we study the parable in Matthew 13:31-32 that Jesus taught His disciples about the faith of a mustard seed. How powerful can that be? 

 Matthew 17:20, NIV shares that Jesus said “… Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

 In Hebrews 11, we learn the definition of faith and how our faith brings us closer to the Lord. Indeed, we could not come to Jesus without faith. Hebrews 11 gives many examples in our ancient history of faith in action.

In today’s episode, “Sabotage,” we study the parable in Matthew 13:24-30 that Jesus taught His disciples about the weeds among the wheat planted.

 The enemy sneaked in and planted the weeds and the roots intertwined with the wheat, just like the world has both good and evil within it. Separation will happen at harvest time. The sabotage happens when we think all is wheat (or good) but the lot is full of weeds (evil) as well. 

 How can we tell the weeds from the wheat in our daily lives? Jesus said we will know them by their fruit, such as goodness, kindness, patience, love, joy…

In today’s episode, “Listen and Learn,” we study the parable in Matthew 13:1-23 that Jesus taught His disciples (believers/ followers), about the farmer’s seeds planted.

 Some were snatched away by the enemy; some were without deep roots so problems and persecution tore them away; some hearts were crowded with worries and lures by this world; and yet some did fall upon good soil and produced a harvest. 

 This parable encourages every believer to listen, learn, and study to understand the Word of God through faith in Jesus Christ, and to be fruitful within their calling. They do not give up because there is a harvest.

In today’s episode, “Fighting Spirit,” we study the parable in Matthew 12:24-30 that Jesus taught His disciples (believers/ followers).

 Jesus addressed the accusation He cast out demons because He was evil, so He explained about a kingdom divided. He brought home that we’re either for Him or against. We choose the enemy (darkness) or the Lord (light). The undecided default to the enemy. There’re no bystanders sitting on the fence - no decision is a decision.

In today’s episode, “Out with Old, In with New,” we study the parable in Matthew 9:14-17 that Jesus taught His disciples (believers/ followers).

 Jesus refers to old and new cloth, when patched it can tear. Also, new wine poured into an old wine skin can cause it to burst. We examined commentaries and the sanctification process of a believer.

In today’s episode, “Judging People,” we study the parable in Matthew 7:1-5 that Jesus taught His disciples (believers/ followers).

 As we notice the failings of another, we’re warned not to criticize, knowing we’re not perfect. Instead of judging, lovingkindness and patience is needed.

In today’s episode, “Light of the World,” we study the parable in Matthew 5:14-16 that Jesus taught His disciples (believers/ followers).

 Out of gratitude for God’s mercy and grace through Jesus Christ, He indicates we’re to shine with good deeds, demonstrating our fruit (patience, kindness, love… as in Gal. 5:22-23). Why? So others will get a glimpse of Jesus and want to come to Him, too.

In this episode, “Peace Within,” we ask how to obtain peace and to keep it within while challenges happen.

 Job and King David share their experience, as well as Isaiah, and the Apostle Paul offers an encouraging prayer. Hebrews 12 tells what we can do. Ultimately, Jesus leaves us peace (John 14:27).

In this episode we find the importance of humbly, with a contrite heart, approaching the Lord saying, “Forgive Me!” 

 According to scriptures shared, it’s of high importance to forgive others – yes, even those who have used and abused us - as we hope for forgiveness from the Lord. How many times must we extend this forgiveness? Repeatedly, as needed!

In this episode, “Love of God,” we explore the many facets of God’s love for us as well as His expectations our love toward Him, ourselves, and others.   

 In Jeremiah 31, we learn of God’s everlasting love toward us. We can turn to God about any troubles, and He demonstrated His love for us when He sacrificed His only Son, Jesus Christ who died on the cross to pay for our sins and arose. 

 What does the Lord want of us? We look at the Greatest Commandment (Mark 12:28-34) and know the importance of loving, honoring, and obeying God…

In this episode we talk about the “Grace of God” with definitions so we can understand the magnitude of His grace, as well as see how it works together with mercy and salvation.

 Grace is essentially unmerited favor of God toward us, while mercy is when we’re spared from punishment we deserve. To receive salvation, one must receive the grace of God and His mercy through Jesus. Several scriptures were given for personal studies.

In this episode, “Hope for the Future,” we look to scriptures to help understand what hope is and how it connects with our faith in the Lord for the future.  

 What is hope but a firm belief and trust that good will happen as promised by God in His Word. Is there action on our part relating to that hope? As in 1 Peter1, we’re encouraged to prepare our minds, being steadfast in spirit, maintain self-discipline, and fix our hope completely on the grace of God that comes through Jesus.

In light of this being Independence Day in the United States, we look at what the Lord had granted. We’re “Free to Choose” to turn to Him or not, life or death, as in Deut.30.

 Isn’t it awesome that the Creator of the Universe gave us free will? But with it is the Spiritual Law of Sowing and Reaping. When we turn to God with a contrite heart in faith and accept Jesus, we’re saved. But still, mistakes happen. 

 Casey shares a recent medical problem that served to distract her into further troubles. It’s a challenge shared as a cautionary tale. While facing consequences for her mistakes, she turned to the Lord, praying for forgiveness and healing. There’s hope for the future! 

Miracles happen when we believe. 

 Do you have a challenge to overcome? Let this episode encourage you.

Why was Eve so easily “Deceived” by the serpent? He was skilled in lies and manipulation, well able to use her lack of self-control and her prideful hunger for power. 

 There’s a constant battle within us and surrounding us while the enemy continues to deceive with the intent to steal, kill, and to destroy (John 10:10). But we know the end of that story, Jesus has already overcome (John 16:33). When we give our struggles and temptations to God, He fights our battles.

Casey shares a brochure she’d written in 2020 designed to help each person “Overcome Challenges” they face.

     The brochure now resides within the Appendix of My Dear Rosa Jean. There, Casey presents five ingredients in a Recipe for Overcoming Challenges. In her book, these ingredients are explained in further detail: 

1.      Turn to God
2.      Safely leave your dangerous and habitually toxic environment
3.      Believe and have faith
4.      Be filled with gratitude
5.      Forgive yourself, your abuser, and the indifferent

Casey believes if not for the familiarity (pattern) of abuse from childhood, and then domestic violence, she would not have allowed herself to suffer from “Toxic Relationships.”

     Within the pages of A New Song Rises Up! is more detail of her experiences and what she learned within toxic relationships. A people-pleaser to her detriment, she didn’t realize the toxicity was abuse. 

     Indeed, the Lord rescued her, for which she is always grateful. She encourages an awareness, advocacy, and prevention of this pervasive (yet often not recognized) problem in today’s world.

Martha and Mary (Luke 10) were good friends of Jesus and he often visited them when in their area. While both women loved Jesus, Martha allowed herself to be distracted in service while Mary’s “Priority” was to worship Jesus.

 It appears that while serving the Lord is good, distractions and busyness can easily take away from the better thing, praise and worship.

Casey believes that because of the familiarity (pattern) of abuse from childhood, she allowed domestic violence into her life. She encourages “Domestic Violence Awareness.”

     Within the pages of My Dear Rosa Jean is a fictional parallel to her experiences and what she learned within a life-threatening domestic violence arena. Indeed, the Lord rescued her, for which she is always grateful. 

     She encourages an awareness, advocacy, and prevention of this pervasive problem in today’s world, including what it might take to stop the legacy of continued abuse within a family. 

     Her books, ‘My Dear Rosa Jean’ and ‘A New Song Rises Up!’ address this issue.
