Dear Friends,
TO ALL GENERATIONS!!! Believers and Non-Believers; when we believe God’s Testimony about His Son for Salvation; we are an extension of the Truth to the World. To God be the Glory and Holy Spirit you are welcome here!
Believing is a Miracle! I can’t make you believe. I didn’t even make myself believe! I can’t make you believe, but I can encourage you to seek the Truth; and when believing happens, I am encouraging you to believe; and grab a hold of “this thing called Life”, (a Holy Person named Jesus) where God will never let you Go … you CAN reject Him … Yet still by HIS everlasting mercy of Whom God is, as long as God calls this day Today, He will still be near and waiting on you to believe, …
Believe, doesn’t believe really mean come to Jesus seeking the Truth in all things willing to change FOR the Cause of Christ to live in that gift of LIFE that is for you, with you and in you; and for your good blessings in the New YOU!
To Believers, Jesus never said the Truth would be easy for us to endure, (remember Jesus endured the Cross for us! And, there is a cross for everyone; and there is a cross for me.) The Truth, JESUS endureth TO ALL generations!
Jesus is that foundation, base line, that we have to admit we need to change our mind in the way we think, feel, act and even our self-will? God’s lovingkindness is better than life! I just can’t get past this revelation! What is better than life? God’s lovingkindness is better than life!
Ok, Lord, help me break this down…
A believable lie can become a habitual truth that is justified by our desires, but still and never-the-less, we are the ones who need corrected by God to change our mind to agree with God’s Will. God wants MORE for us and God sees the invisible(s); which is far more than we can see! And, that is part of why, In God’s Patience, He is NOT willing that any should perish, but COME to LIFE and KNOWLEDGE of the Savior and Lord Jesus Christ to experience God’s Lovingkindness WITH muchos ( much, many ) understanding.
The rest of it, God loves us So Very, Very Much!!! Jesus said, (and I believe you can agree?) that when we are sinking / failing / perishing, it is from a lack of knowledge.
So, why don’t we INCREASE our LEVEL of Knowledge? Why don’t we SEEK a greater understanding. Perhaps, because change is uncomfortable; and no one likes to feel like we are wrong. But, one of the Really, REALLY, really cool things about Jesus, is that when the Holy Spirit convicts our heart of something we have been misled in, God does it with absolutely ZERO condemnation!!! Zero, absolutely no condemnation is found in the Name of Truth in Christ Jesus, when we come to the LIGHT of God in the Name of JESUS believing, repenting and acknowledging the Truth; the Truth shall set us free!
One of the Really, REALLY, really cool things about Jesus, is that when the Holy Spirit convicts our heart of something we have been misled in, God does it with absolutely ZERO condemnation!!!
Satan has many schemes, BUT God has many METHODS to overcome the wiles (Ephesians 6:11) of the devil. Yet, still there is ultimately only ONE Way, ONE Truth & ONE Life, whom Saves & delivers us from sin & death to the Redeemed and to life with God! Jesus, The Christ, Whom is the Son of the Living God, who died for sin, was buried to bury sin; and three days later was Resurrected from the dead to bring God’s Perfect Life that is living and alive and tangible to us to believe in.
Would you like to experience Heaven on earth now; and Have everlasting life with God forever more!!!!? Come to the Cross and the feet of Jesus and say, Yes, Lord, I believe! I lay it all down to you; and I will rise up IN you! And say, to God, I agree with You Lord. Say, amen. Jesus said, It is finished! We say, Amen!
Fairy tale, I think not. :) Because God manifests Himself to us in ways that is undeniable and unremarkable to human comprehension to the love God has for us; and God wants more than anything for us to get it! To come to know and believe in the love God has for us on a personal level! That is why I am writing what I hear God say to me … to you!
It is not an accident you are here and reading this Today. Jesus loves you! Let the rest go; and seek to get to know this God who died for you, SO THAT you can live for, with & in Him.
I honestly can’t say, did God love us so much in spite of our selves that He couldn’t stand the thought of us living as though we were dead, when He had life to give? Or, was it more that God couldn’t bear the thought of living without us with Him forevermore? God is True LOVE! Is there even a dividing line in love? Love is Unified.
I think of my children, a parent’s love will risk everything to spare a child pain, but yet, is willing to let them go to live their life to the full. …as long as we know they are happy and well cared for by God in their relationship with Jesus 1st. I say this, because my daughter is married now; and I feel free because I know she is happy. I don’t sense a need to have to her captive here with me, because, well I have learned that spiritual is closer than physical can ever meet. And, to God be the Glory for this miracle!
Moving on along, and then, I promise, I will let you go on to your day
Moving on along, and then, I promise, I will let you go on to your day ….God is a God of addition, so all of the above was added for someone, perhaps you, even Today? I refuse to question how the Spirit of the Lord puts this together for those only God knows; God knows who you are in a world that God numbered the hairs on every head out there!!!
GOD and the Holy Spirit reveals to us in James Chapter 3, Do not Deny the Truth, which means, human nature will prefer to deny the truth, but God’s Word encourages all Believers who FOLLOW the Christ that the Truth shall set us FREE.
5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Psalm 100:5 King James Version (KJV)
If your house was burning down, the truth could save you, when only someone on the outside could see what was going on that effected the inside of the house. But that truth is not something we would want to hear as true, but yet, the Truth would give us the opportunity to water the fire out with the methods we have to extinguish fire that causes destruction.
Fire can be good too, with warmth and of a comfort that heals a broken spirit. The Holy Spirit is like water and God’s Word is this Truth that gives us the opportunity to extinguish what is destroying our soul, all the while feeding our soul the food that (when we apply) will promote our JOY and Peace in this life; a life that is given to us by God.
As we lean in to the ear of God with this devotion to God’s Holy Word, listen carefully to the Holy Spirit of God draw you to grow in God’s Son, whom is the Truth, the Way and the Life. First comes the Way and then we see the Truth to experience the Life God gives!
Come to the Truth through and by the Name of Jesus, according to the Living & Written Word that does always agree with God, because Truth is OF God. And, “faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17).”
And, if you lack Wisdom, ask; and in Jesus Name, God will give generously to all who seek to know and understand God’s will for their life. James 1:5
If you feel real emotions inside that trouble you terribly?
If you feel real emotions inside that trouble you terribly? Allow the Holy Spirit transform those real feelings into the form of a prayer!!! … Now, I will testify, when you receive this from God, you will never be the same!!! …Allow those feelings to come up, and out of the inside of you, but not in the form of gossip / complaining, but rather allow the Holy Spirit to transform that feeling into the power of God to make a difference & the FORM of a PRAYER!
In other worlds, to reach this JOY in JESUS, we give it all to God and love others as God has loved us. Let it go in the form of a prayer for your JOY & for someone Today. Let it go in Love, with Compassion, but not in control that trusts in human strengths, but in a control that is of self-control (a fruit of the Spirit) & trusts God’s Promises to answer EVERY prayer, when our HEART does NOT condemn us; … Seriously, we can TRUST in God and NOT lean on our own understanding in all things.
We can LET the HOLY SPIRIT teach us HOW to RELEASE it all to the ONE who says, “my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30 King James Version (KJV)
5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6 King James Version

Daily Devotion to God’s Holy Word.
By, Karen Rowe
When any “trouble” comes to your heart, don’t LET your belly tremble, nor your lips quiver, nor let rottenenness enter into your bones; Don’t tremble in yourself…Jesus has left Peace & He gives Peace in the day of trouble & when troubles come to us enter into His Peace!
REFERENCE: “When I heard, my belly trembled; … Yet I will rejoice in the Lord , I will joy in the God of my salvation (Habakkuk 3:, 16, 18 KJV).”
Jesus has come to human birth, death; & birth, death & resurrection by way of Holy Spirit & Jesus said, “Do not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me (John 14:1 KJV).”
I will JOY in the God of my salvation! This is a call to ACTION WORD! But do we know HOW TO JOY in the GOD of our personal salvation?
We roll our WORKS upon the Lord; commit & trust them wholly to Him & God will cause our thoughts to become agreeable with His will & thus our plans will be established & succeed! Proverbs 16:3.
Pastor Leonard shared his OPEN, “call to attention”, revelation Bible yesterday, & opened at the address of Isaiah 40:28-31, at a time I needed reminded of 4 Promises of God! Isn’t God so good to use delivered people to come under other people who need a reminder?
4 Promises for those who “wait” (“HOPE”) on the Lord.
1. They WILL G A I N new (strength).
2. They WILL mount UP with wings like (eagles).
3. They will (run) and NOT get tired.
4. They will (walk) and NOT become (weary).
Isaiah 40:28-31 begins with, “Do you not know? Have you not heard? …
For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Psalms 100:5 KJV
Our strength comes from the Lord! & God writes on heart!
The Lord is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.
Psalms 118:14 KJV
I hope this encourages you too!
Which Bible verse will you expand on Today?
