Carrier #1

Are they not wonderful? The folks who do the jobs we cannot. They are willing and able to carry. I am most pleased always and in all ways to have help from them. I have heard of folks who removed someone’s roof that the person they were carrying may be let down into a person’s house. 1

They carried him about. They could not get into the house! They climbed up on the roof. Removed its tiles and then carried this person up to the roof lowering him down into the house! What an amazing group! The folks who carry sick folks. What a blessing. I have additionally heard of many sick folks carried on various conveyances’ to this “Special One” to whom the person lowered into a house through its roof. Whatever the situation and the cause of the sickness these folks may have had, they were healed by the “Special One”. His name is Jesus. I presume the person healed walked out of the house with the carriers who had brought him in. They must have had a great praising shout! This message is recorded in the Bible. Many folks were carried to this “Special One,” Jesus, and He healed all of them. 2

All who were sick He healed. Blessed be those who did the carrying. Blessed be forevermore God’s “Special One” who did the healing. These carriers do a most admirable task. They do a job filled with faith, their hearts with mercy and loving-kindness. The average folks it seems do most of these tasks of carrying. They are not usually paid as are those employed by special groups. They are not as they. They do not wear a uniform of great distinction. They are a work force usually forgotten. The carrier’s hands, legs, arms, backs and feet are seldom remembered or seen. God Almighty has seen them. He has all their good deeds recorded. It was His Son Jesus who did the greatest of carrying. He remembers those who have mercy to others as His Son. 3

Jesus died to carry our sins, sicknesses, weaknesses and pains away. The fulfillment of Isaiah 53 is He. I thank God today for each carrier I see. They are as Jesus to me. Carry one of His “little ones” and be seen by God Most High. Carry all whom you know to that “Special One,” Jesus, to be healed. Take off the roof and lower them in if the need be. Then walk out together praising God for His mercy to the one whom you have carried. 4

Carrier #2 The bearings are correct. The way I am most certain shall be narrow. The carrying of another person or the carrying of many. Marvelous are they in God Almighty’s sight—those who carry folks to a place where they may find help in time of need. If need be, the needful one shall be carried to another destination to receive help and comfort for his body. The “carrying business” is one of the earths greatest. There is always a shortage of bearers available. 5

The necessity of these folks to be available to be a carrier is an honor among men. There is the One of whom much is spoken who bore all of man’s afflictions. Should every person take advantage of such a One? Most assuredly yes. If you cannot get yourself to Jesus. Get a carrier. Praise God for His good deeds among men. Thank God for you “special ones”. If all goes as God has planned, there someday shall not be a necessity for this task of carrying. All mankind shall be saved and healed. We may all stand, praise and rejoice that by Jesus’ stripes we all have been healed and there need never be a need again for a carrying person other than He. 6

Carrier # 3

He is carrying about a most dreadful disease. Do not be exposed to him or her! Certainly no one should like to contract what he has and yet there is “One” who has done just that! This “Special One” took upon Himself all the dreadful diseases man had contracted by being in a most unfortunate nature. The curse that had come upon man brought with it all sins, sicknesses, weaknesses and pains. There was a contract made. It was sealed in “Blood”. 7

When completed successfully, all the misery of the old nature was to be carried away and man could be free believing Jesus, the Son of God’s Love Blood purchased his freedom from this most dreadful curse. Jesus completed and fulfilled this contract price. It cost Him His life! In hell did He go after being crucified on a cross of wood. Jesus stayed in hell until the price was paid and then He stayed satan. Jesus rose once again from the dead by the power of God Almighty. He now does live eternally—no more to die. He continues to this day to be your “Eternal Carrier”. Speak and call if need be His name. It is Jesus. When you speak His name, it releases His carrying power and the disease you may have shall be carried away by Him. 8

By His (Jesus’) stripes were you healed. The contract to kill has He completed. He killed your disease on His cross of wood. His Blood is the devise to carry away dead life. He placed His Life inside of your mortal body and now you can carry on. 9

Carrier #4 Carry on. Some children just will not discontinue carrying on in an unfavorable way. I do at times want someone to come to my aid and carry them to a different place! I need peace! How grateful am I when a person comes to me and helps with these carrying on ones. Is this a situation you have too? Carrying on? Carrying on of another variety may and can be just as unfavorable. What are you carrying about in your person that is a distress to you and others about you? 10

Do you have tantrums? A germ you just cannot seem to get rid of? Do you carry bad feelings towards others about with you? Do you have anxious thoughts of situations pending? These you need not carry. Give them to someone else. Let them do the worrying and allow them to suffer your misery. Is there not a carrier of this variety? Many a woman or man has done such deeds as I have mentioned. They have cared for and about many a person’s miserable situation taking upon themselves troubles not of their making. These carriers are of the greatest importance. Many a survivor in this world has many thanks to give to these folks. Carrying on to carry on. 11

There is One who carried on Himself all of man’s problems successfully. He it is who really carried on. When He was cursed, He blessed. When He was crucified, He carried all of man’s sins with Him. He did not just go to the grave. He carried on and went into hell. I suppose the most carrying on of misery and ugliness resides in this place of restlessness. He carried on down in hell with all the damned and there He overcame them. He took satans keys and stormed the gates of hell. He rose again from the dead. Is this not the greatest of carrying on? He continued on. He went into heaven with His own Blood and then led a train of captives along with Him to heaven. He cleansed heaven and He sat down at God’s right hand and continues ever to intercede for those like you and me. He continues to carry on continually! 12

Jesus is His name. Jesus took the ability of satan away from him to continue to make you not carry the curse of sin and death in and about you. The d/evil one continues to carry on and place misery on you if you do not tell him to “shut up” and carry his stuff somewhere else. He it is who likes to be heard and he likes to disguise his dreadful deeds. Carrying you about and desiring to bring you to his hell. Don't you go to his house! Tell him to leave you alone. You carry about with you the name of Jesus and when the carrying on of misery begins to come, tell it to shut up and leave. You keep carrying on with the “Special One”. Jesus has carried you from the beginning. His footsteps cannot be seen. Look down at your feet. They now belong to Him. Now you get out there and help those in need! You carry them to Jesus. Carrier #4 - that is your call!

Carrier #5

The number five (5) signifies God Almighty’s grace. I believe you shall begin now to take your place. Carry good news of what God Almighty has done for us in the Son of His love, Jesus. Carry others’ burdens in the spirit of love. Fill your mouth with great lovely words for words are carriers. 14

Words carry evil or good. Words build up or they tear down. The Living Word, Jesus, when His name is spoken, carries with it all of heaven’s blessings. Train your brain to think good thoughts. Train your tongue to speak words of love. Keep and guard deep within your heart God’s words that you may be such a one to carry to the world Jesus, the Son of God’s love. Do not come to the conclusion that carriers are not needed today. There are always folks needing to be carried to Jesus by a person or persons. Feet, back, arms, legs and hands are needed Smiles and kind words of love are always and in all ways welcome. There is always a job of carrying for folks who are not able to carry on physical additionally. 15

All you, whomever you may be, who hear these words written by me. Always remember to carry folks to God’s throne of grace in prayer. It is there that you shall always and in all ways find Jesus’ Blood which speaks grace. You shall receive help in time of need. Do not stop carrying or you shall stop caring. 16

Why I write books: In all these writings abides the revelation and the revealer of my time. In these writings resides a disclosure of my person by period, and some at least of a message of the gospel not only to me but also to my age. These are “rhema” revelation to my spirit, and soul of Him who governs the universe. It is through the stories of Jesus that I have strived to write what is deepest in me. It is noble evidence, which has never yet perhaps elaborated, as it deserves. I bring to this work the culture and thoughts of my time and added whatever my own inner soul in its quest to know God and his working could supply. May God bless these Words He has given and revealed to me. karen marie a continuing of His Work in His Name shall be done. Thoughts out of many hearts should be revealed. Luke chapter 2 verse 35
