Dear Friends and Readers at FGGAM,
Do you ever feel like you don’t fit in ? Sometimes, I do. Perhaps it looks like everyone around you has it all together, but you just feel like you don’t. But that may just be the biggest “truth… in the form of a lie” ever told by Satan. None of us have it all together… with out Christ. None of us are worthy of the calling, except by, and through Christ. Now, do we doubt whom Christ Jesus is, whom lives in us; whom is for us; and whom lives with us? Do we doubt our purpose is set by God to serve our Lord, by faith in Christ Jesus?
I don’t believe we set out to doubt God’s Word to us, but inherently, our soul thinks, feels and chooses by the Creator, God, our Maker’s Design. God was so kind to us – We not a robot; we are Created in God’s own image!!! And God sent a Savior and gave us a Helper (the Holy Spirit is the Mind of Christ). Which mind will we choose to believe? That is the mind we will follow!
God sure does love you a lot! Did you know that God sent His only Begotten Son for you, to save you, shape you and help you overcome all things through Him! With a purpose to grow in this image! And, then serve in this image! The Image Of Christ Jesus!!! Wow, doesn’t that just wake your spirit up to shout some joy! If not yet, when you receive this, you will never be the same!
God loves the whole world, but it is you that God is speaking to right now! God loves you and God does want you to know that you are incredibly valuable to Him! And, Yes, you have purpose in your life!
Have you figured your purpose out yet?
You are not a mistake, you are on purpose; and for a purpose; and the mere fact that you are going through, will go through, or have gone through a lonely time is proof of how strong God has made you to be! But are you suffering for the sins of this world? Or are you suffering for the Cause of Christ? Either way, God has a plan for you to be transformed to the next level of spiritual growth in Christ!!!
There is a Scripture that is written in the Bible about Comfort! It is perhaps one of the sweetest verses I have ever read.
The Spirit of God revealed it to me at an odd time. It was at a time of serving our Lord, that I saw others suffering more than me; and yet, they had a spirit about them that blessed me. Giving & Receiving are in the power of God’s Hand! That’s the power of God’s love! My Friend, in Christ, when we receive this from God, we will never be the same!
God of All Comfort
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For as we share abundantly in Christ’s sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too (2 Corinthians 1:3-5 English Standard Version (ESV).”
Now, the Scripture of The Devotion of the day Today, that got me here today to post!
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Luke 1:37 KJV
I felt empty to serve our Lord, but always, God’s Word fills me up to an overflow! It is all about Jesus!!! Hope in Today Ministries become an INC. Non-Profit, several years ago. I really didn’t know why, but by faith, we added the INC to the Ministries, which God has also added to the Hope in Today. All by faith; and at a time my motto became, “I don’t have it all figured out, BUT God does…Follow Jesus!” I didn’t feel worthy; and frankly, it felt more like Noah must have felt building the arc before it rained.
Yet, and But, all I knew was about God’s Love for me; and for the world. And, God’s love is all we need to believe! Adversity has been a huge part of the preparation to serving our Lord Jesus in Hope in Today Ministries, Inc. This is fitting to say as an encouragement to you today, that we are here to be a representative for the Lord, in the power of His love; to teach in the power of His knowledge; to minister in the power of His Spirit; and to God be the Glory!
It may not mean much to you yet; because you most likely don’t know all our story of growing, but God did all this for you to hear today, God loves you; and you can get through all things through Christ who strengthens you. When you believe to receive this, you will never be the same. We really believe in God’s extraordinary love for you!
Do you believe this is possible? Are you facing something difficult today? Are you being tested? Do you feel all alone? Then be encouraged. Do you know how much God loves you?
This is God’s Love for you that God cares SO MUCH for you that He wants more than anything for you to know and believe in how much God loves you, that God sent His only Begotten Son for you that if you believe you shall not perish, but have everlasting life!
What is life, but with God! Once we discover the mysteries of Christ, as when we receive Jesus, we will never be the same!
God wants us to learn this world is not our home. Our home is with God, because He loves you; and God is not willing that any shall be lost, without hope; nor is God willing that you be tormented by the lies that come to you. God gives us the simple answers, Truth! And, The Truth shall set us free; Free Indeed to live with Peace, Joy …and produce fruit in our spiritual life with God; on earth as it is in Heaven.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law (Galatians 5:22-23 King James Version).”
.
I hope this is a blessing to you. These are the words I hear God speaking to my heart. I believe enough to use this gift from God, by faith to speak them to you.
Love in Christ,
Karen Rowe

Do you believe this is possible? By Karen Rowe
For the word of God will never fail. ”
Luke 1:37 NLT
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Luke 1:37 KJV
But do we doubt? Where is our mind set in? The impossibles are a second guess! But God!
Let’s not forget whom God is! And let’s not forget God’s Word! What does it say?
There are many types of prayer, but prayers should come believing whom God is & according to the Word, God gave His Son …
For what? ~to second guess whom God is? NO! All things are possible, but not all things are permissible & God allows adversity to come to us to shape us…
Perhaps you think God has left you? Perhaps you think nothing is going on in your life? But friend, the Lord wants to encourage you that He wants you to grow in the image of Christ! Something is happening in your dormant stage!
By the Creator’s design when a Maple Tree grows & goes into the dormant stage, it seems like it has no life at all. It sheds it’s leaves quickly. When we go into that dormant stage, God puts us in that stage to bare fruit for the next stage of baring fruit.
In this stage, we can’t seem to hear His Voice; or even a kind word. Everything seems to be piling in on us…
BUT GOD ! But God does hear us! But we are in a dormant stage, so we can grow to the next harvest.
Hope in Today Ministries wants to teach you what is going on in your storm. Is this possible? Why did God let us go through that dormant stage? He is letting us know what needs pruned off.
God is teaching us: Do I think more about my thoughts? Than I do about Jesus’ Thoughts? It is up to us to cut it off!!! But, Do you have more doubt about you; than more faith about you?
God has purpose in your life! Don’t second guess! We pray that you will get the full benefit of what you want. What is living? What is dead? Each stage of our life, God prunes for a new crop. What is stunting your crop? God shows it to us, SO we can take it away!
When God gives us a dream; SET! Then this thing comes up – How will you respond? Everytime we put a “maybe” in; there is a second guess. The words we use (the 2nd guess) is what sinks the boat.
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Luke 1:37 KJV
How do we come to know & believe in this confidence in Christ? Jesus!
Let’s talk about the Power of God’s Love!
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1 King James Version).”
How can we pray for you today?
Love in Christ,
