COLOR SPEAK, Season 5, Ep 38: COLOR for CANVAS BOOK LAUNCH w Publisher Missy Maxwell Worton & Author Carolyn Searcy

My publishing friends join me today to talk about a book that is near and dear to my heart.

My own!

But wait a minute. I wrote it for you.

Overall, it is speculative fiction, the goal of which is to get people thinking about the world around them. The story takes place over many generations on land that is significant. It is land awaiting its purpose, long recognized in the material and spiritual worlds as dedicated to the purpose of God. I am convinced we each have our own version of our Promised Land, whether that is proverbial or literal. Coming into agreement with that is significant for building the Kingdom of God here on earth. The Israelites Promised Land is the grand metaphor for all of us in the creation story.

Romans 8:19 says, “For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God.” ESV How many times have we read this verse and how many times have we glossed over it?

The Passion translation puts it this way: “The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, earning to see the unveiling of God’s glorious sons and daughters.” Wow!

Now, with this understanding, a shift takes place in our awareness of partnership with our Creator and His Creation. However, it isn’t easy.

Ephesians 6:12 tells us we will have to fight for it. “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

The Passion translation puts it this way: “Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms. For they are a powerful class of demon-gods and evil spirits that hold this dark world in bondage.”

Verse 13 goes on to say, “Because of this, you must wear all the armor that God provides so you’re protected as you confront the slanderer, for you are destined for all things and will rise victorious.”

Think destiny.

I hope this novel will encourage you in so many ways. Mostly, I hope it will help you think outside of the box.
