The Famous One

Pens were down on the tables. The few remaining charts with doctor’s orders laid in the bin, waiting to be processed. As everyone’s ears were glued and fascinated by one of the nurse’s stories. Their eyes widely-opened. Sometimes, the mouths seemed to drop low on the ground. They were talking about ghosts. In the jail. And somewhere else.

You could just feel the adrenalin pumping, the heartbeats beating as if their hearts would come out of the chests. As one story after another evoked goose bumps, heightening fear, the reality of unseen entities…

I was fascinated, too. I had my own experience as well, as I was taking a break at 3:00 a.m. I closed one of the offices where I would normally eat my homemade sandwich really quick and then, tried to rest my neck to ease some of the soreness from a night’s heavy load. I heard some rustling of papers on top of one of the shelves. The fan was off. Whenever I looked, it stopped. Whenever I bent down my head, it felt as if something was teasing me and started playing with those piled up papers on top. I looked up. Nothing. I commanded in Jesus’ Name for “it” to leave and stop that. I bent my head down, feeling strength from Him, not fear. No more rustling of papers. I was able to finish my short break.

But I told them we were not to glorify anything about this evil work. There was no benefit from it but to simply instill more fear to everyone. [It was proven when one of them didn’t want to go to the bathroom despite the urgent need to go. Because of her fear, she wouldn’t dare to go to the hallway into the bathroom. Alone.]

That I’d rather talk about the Power in Jesus’ Name. Against all those evils. Going through my own spiritual battle, the Lord had indeed shown me the Power in His Word. Of how these unseen enemies cowered when I uttered His Precious Name…Jesus…[Proverbs 18:10 - “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous runs into it and is safe.”]

I told them not to be afraid. And that, if they believed in those evil things, must we not believe much more in the One Who created everything?

For faith in God allows us to see the unseen. His Word tells us the truth in everything. And that is the only requirement for anyone who chooses to know Him. Faith. Through faith, one believes…”And faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen…” - Hebrews 11:1.…Glory belongs only to the Lord! Maker of heaven and earth! He deserves it all. Our praises. Our thanks. He is after all, the most Famous One!!!



This is what Jesus said to the father of a boy possessed by a spirit: “If you can?” All things are possible to him who believes.” - Mark 9:23

And the Lord said, “If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and be planted in the sea’; and it would obey you.” - Luke 17:6


“That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” ~ Romans 10:9


“Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” - 1 Timothy 6:12

  1. I can only imagine what it must be like to be a nurse in a prison. With so many forcs of evil, and yet you possess the Spirit of the Living God. What a witness you must be to the other medical staff and patients. But I'm sure it is hard at times.

    The Lord is working on my heart for a second blog to encourage nurses. It's a long story and a long time coming. When He makes it more clear to me, I will share more with you. As you may know, I worked as a cardiovascular nurse specialist for 25 years. I'm no longer working in nursing but have such a passion for nurses and the work they do.

    I hope to keep in touch with you.

    Blessings and love,
    Debbie

  6. I'm glad you bound that thing. If there is one thing I've learned over the years: Demons love to show off. If they are getting attention, they will continue to do little "stunts" to receive some "glory" ... blech.

    Continue to expose the lies my friend.

    Love!

  9. The darkness of the world and Satan are with us always, but so is the light of Christ. I am glad that you acknowledged the reality of both because Ephesians 6:12 tells us "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." We are the light of the world and no reason for "Fear of the Dark" for our Lord & Savior Jesus conquered sin & death to give us victory. Thank you for your ministry in His holy name - Our strength & redeemer.

  10. Hi Rosel,
    Again, I am inspired by your job and especially your story tonight about the rustling papers and how you commanded them in the name of the Lord to stop - and they did! I love your bravery and your love of Jesus our Lord.

    Bless You,
    Jean
