Dear Friends from around the world,
It is raining now in NC, as I write this letter to you. It is also very beautiful to have this time with God as I come to you with a message to encourage you to come to God with all your thoughts; and in all your ways; and to encourage you to come in Jesus Name. God has every answer we need in how to survive in this world after the Miracle, through Jesus!
As we dive into this Devotion Today, the old KJV language of the “thee(s) and thou(s),” can be understood if we share what we learn together in the Name of Jesus!
“He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock (Luke 6:48 KJV).
A Man: To me is a HUman being with a marvelous invitation to Come to Jesus and experience the love God has for the world! A human with a Choice: 1. To love Believing the Truth in Jesus that sets us free; or 2. To love to believe the Lies from the enemy who wants to kill, steal and destroy all Jesus come to Save from perishing from a Lack of Knowledge.
The House: To me is our mind, built in the Mind of Christ; the build is the Faith, but the Temple is our body. And, we can feel the wrongs and troubles that come up against us! But friends, I don’t want to leave this unsaid! We may FEEL the emotions / pains / fears / agitations & angers that will rise up and purposely come against us, but we have a choice NOT to LET that come in us! Who is greater in you? Jesus the Christ, the Son of the Living God, whom cares for you is Greater than he that is in the world!!! Glory be to God!!! Thank you Jesus!!!
Digged Deep: To Me, this means Let the love of God’s Word take root DEEP in your heart! Jesus perceived their thoughts … and responded in this Chapter of Luke, Chapter 6, that I hope this encourages you to hear God’s message of Strength read aloud to you Today, which by the way, is HOW God’s Word comes to us … Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God!
Laid the foundation: To Me is Faith in the Name of Jesus! Faith that stands strong on God’s Word, His love for the World that Jesus come to die for those who are lost, but we who are rich in our knowledge of God’s Grace, Mercy & Love for us, MUST PRAY for those who don’t know this amazing grace to come to know and believe in the love God has for them.
Rock: The Name of Jesus! Jesus is OBLIGATED to uphold a faith placed in Him!
The flood: When troubles come up against you that make no sense at all! Satan is lurking behind the shadows trying to stop you from Praising God; and to stop you from abiding in God (God is LOVE); stop you from doing good to ( ___), stop you from blessing (Someone in need of a blessing in Jesus Name!), & stop you from praying for (____). ~ {Take note of the Scripture Devotion of Today in Luke 6:27-28}.
The stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock!
I pray for strength to you & Wisdom in the Name of Jesus to know how to love your enemy, how to do good to them which hate you, how to bless them that curse you, and how to pray for them which despitefully use you.
And WHY! We all need Jesus; and God will give you a method to love like Jesus, if you cast those cares and worries unto Jesus! Lord, Have Mercy and teach us why you came! Help us to love others, as you have 1st loved us & made us RICH in Mercy, Grace and Love in the Name of Jesus.
But I say unto you which h e a r, LOVE YOUR enemies, DO GOOD TO them which hate you, BLESS THEM that curse you, AND PRAY FOR them which despitefully use you.
Luke 6:27-28 KJV
We in Christ are blessed to be a blessing! I hope this is a blessing to you. Jesus has certainly blessed me today by this word! Lord, in Jesus Name, let the knowledge and understanding come to us in your Word. There is LIFE in the Mustard Seed of faith ~ Let your faith Grow and let us build ourselves UP and together in Christ in our most Holy Faith; and as we pray for each other in the Holy Spirit. Amen.

“Let God Keep Your Punctuation Rightly Placed, By Karen Rowe”
Many of you do not know this, but when I place a “…” it means Jesus I honor you, need you, invite you & ask for your anointing to flow through this work, Father, Son, The Holy Spirit …
And it means to continue on …
Many of you don’t know that during the final edit of a project that I was working on, the editor made a mistake & changed a comma to a period in the strangest place.
Of the many difficulties I went through during both the ten years of writing this book & the publishing phase; NOTHING come at me so severe as this punctuation change! In fact, punctuation was a least of my concern, BUT not this time!
It was a fast & easy fix, but my husband summed it up for me that night! Robert said, “Karen think about it. Satan wanted to stop this book & stop you, but he failed!
Robert said, “A period means to stop, but a comma means to continue on!!!
This is for you too! Where does God want you to change your punctuation? It is my prayer for someone else to know Jesus has given us a marvelous INVITATION to come to a RELATIONSHIP with God The Father, through & by Jesus Christ the Son.
What Satan meant to stop by doing evil, God wants to use you to do good. In a relationship with God, three in one, & in unity with each other who believe …where 2-3 are gathered together, There you will find God is in the Midst!
“And WHY call ye me, Lord, Lord, AND do not the things which I say? Whosoever COMETH to me, and HEARTH my sayings, AND DOeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
BUT he that heareth, and DOeth NOT, IS LIKE a man THAT without a FOUNDATION built an house upon the earth; AGAINST WHICH the stream DID beat vehemently, AND immediately it fell; AND the ruin of that house was great (Luke 6:46-49 KJV).”
But I say unto you which h e a r, LOVE YOUR enemies, DO GOOD TO them which hate you, BLESS THEM that curse you, AND PRAY FOR them which despitefully use you.
Luke 6:27-28 KJV
That’s all the Lord gave me to share with you Today.
The final message; and the only one that matters we know … Jesus loves you! Because if we really believe in the love God has for us; and if we really come to know we love Jesus; we will ACT on what we really believe. I pray this is a blessing to you. Now, I cast this to Jesus as my prayer for you in all you may need …
Love in Christ,
TILL NEXT TIME!
“GRACE AND PEACE TO YOU FROM GOD OUR FATHER AND THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.”
The address for this Promise in the Bible is found in 2 Corinthians 1:2.
…& This is the NIV Today.
LOVE IN CHRIST,
KAREN ROWE
