Troubled One

Dear Judy,



I have some huge overwhelming issues in my life. My mind will not shut up. How do I live in God’s peace through this turmoil? I love the Lord but need help in this storm!

Dear Troubled One,


The first and most positive thing is to make sure you have Jesus and His Word in your life. I call the Bible my manual for success because there is no solid help outside of the Lord and His promises. Everything we need is found in that Manual (Bible). Through your storms of life, you will find your peace in the promises of our Lord.


We must not always speak the problem but speak the promises of God. Right now, I am going through the biggest storm I have ever had to face, and I am standing on Matthew 19:26: But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." This scripture helps me bring my storm out of the natural realm and into the spiritual. If we view our problem from man’s perspective, then we have no peace! Peace of God comes from the spiritual realm, so we keep our eyes on Jesus!


The Apostle Paul faced a lot of big storms in his life, and he says in Romans 8:6, For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Carnally minded means to think as the world thinks which will not bring us peace. Peace comes when we are spiritually minded which we get when we look up at Jesus and what He has done for us, is doing for us, and will do for us; then spend our time meditating on that!

I think I'm saved...

By Dr. Judy Baus • January 8, 2025
Well, let me start with the most important thing you bring up. I noticed the word I THINK in your question. Just because you go to church does not mean you are a born-again believer.

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.

Stay Watchful

By Dr. Judy Baus • February 2, 2025
STAY WATCHFUL! I am sure we can all agree, 2025 started off with much tragedy and woe! Terrorist attacks killing many, devastating fires in the LA area, a horrible plane and helicopter collision, and another plane crash two days later! Many families in mourning. Truly, the devil is out to steal, kill, and destroy, and sadly, he’s doing a good job at it. But remember, our Lord is far greater than the devil, and He is ultimately in control.

Life with God after salvation!

By Dr. Judy Baus • January 8, 2025
Christianity 101—Life with God after Salvation We are living in very tough times that are only getting harder. As followers of Jesus, we should be strong in the Lord and full of faith, experiencing the God of the impossible. But are we? Jesus said in Matthew 19:26, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” I believe Jesus is looking at us and our fellowships and asking if we truly believe this. Are we living this Scripture out to a watching world?

Come out from among them!

By Dr. Judy Baus • December 20, 2024
We are living in some very dark, wild times. Our manual for success (the Bible) tells us to know the seasons in which we live. We must be alert and watchful and know and understand how our success manual tells us to have success.
