Take on the Peace of Jesus! By Karen Rowe

What do we guard? Our spiritual heart!

Stand firm against what? The Wiles of the devil!

What is The FAITH?

1) Be Courageous!
2) Be Strong!
3) And do EVERYTHING with LOVE! And being God is LOVE, And do EVERYTHING with God!

Jesus was crowned with Thorns FOR us!

Let’s take a look at what a thorn is: a stiff, sharp-pointed, STRAIGHT OR CURVED woody …

Pictured: could be the plant from which the Crown of Thorns was made that was PLACED on Jesus Head FOR us.

Physically painting a picture of what Jesus did Spiritually FOR us by Being Courageous, Strong, and doing EVERYTHING with LOVE FOR us to come back into a Relationship WITH God.

Physically the sap, as well as its sharp thorns, protects the plant “Crown of Thorns” from animals that otherwise would devour the plant entirely. Spiritually, The Holy Spirit is our Sap Water And Hovering Wings whom SHELTER us when it would otherwise be more than we could handle.

Now let’s take a look at how The Devils Wiles feel to us physically & spiritually:

Wiles is used to express DECEPTION through trickery & includes ALL methods that would be a part of that. It has to do with cunning skill applied to NO good purpose; rather to create a false impression.

AS the devil works his craft against us, Satan PERSONIFIES wiles; LIES to us, wants to trap us, DISCOURAGE, Snare, willing to DO anything he can TO weaken & destroy us! He goes to work DAILY TO produce DISCOURAGEMENT, CONFUSION, INDIFFERENCE, IMBALANCE!

Since man’s fall, thorns of all kinds have come up on the ground, which was cursed (Gen. 3:18) Jesus took the Curse (CONSEQUENCE & PUNISHMENT) of sin FOR us!

NOW, in Christ, we seek God’s & Method in all we think or Do, because we know & BELIEVE in the LOVE God has for us, we seek to Abide in Christ, Discern by Holy Spirit & Holy Word Wisdom to walk past the enemy, yet WELL Enabled in Christ with LOVE!

The Spirit of the Lord answered my question about the dust on our feet. Friends, when we go prepared in the gospel of Christ, dead weight is the dust.

Be on guard.

Stand firm in the faith.

Be courageous.

Be strong.

And do everything with love.

1 Corinthians 16:13‭-‬14 NLT

 

TILL NEXT TIME!

Love in Christ,

Karen Rowe

Meet Karen: Hi, I am blessed, by God's good grace and because I know Jesus, I am blessed. I choose to be blessed, because I have a choice set before me and I refuse to look down. I trust God and I know and believe in the love God has for us. I have overcome difficulties; and I am blessed by the grace of God alone. If I have written about it, then I have felt the pain of it in some way, and to some degree. Did you know that Jesus has felt your pain? This is why I write. By God's grace I can identify; and tell you honestly, yes there is hope in anything and everything that you are facing today! Jesus is our Hope! He is the Truth, the Way and the Life. I am married a wonderful man, Robert Rowe; I love my husband and he loves me; and we have been married for 28 years. Together, we have been blessed with a wonderful daughter, named Amanda who is college now; and a wonderful son, named Daniel who is growing up well and soon to graduate elementary school. We work together and by God's grace we run our own business called PSI. We have a pastor over our ministry and over our business and also we depend on him for advise in our family. We have 2 dogs, 4 horses, 2 cats and love to spend time outdoors by the water and by campfires ... that is it seems when we can find time away from life's busy schedule. I love to write because it helps me learn more about God. And, I am driven by a passion from a love that God has put in my heart to share from my experiences and struggles, as I gain understanding in God’s Word to know how effective and powerful God is over our every situation! I share with you so you can know that you are not alone in your struggles. The same God who helps me and my family, is your help and shield as well! Life is not always easy, but it is possible –I like to share the difference that following Jesus makes in my life. And, I love to share God's patience and mercy and love that is with me! I am not perfect, but am experiencing God sanctify me through and through with every mistake I make; and yes, overcome in Christ! Life is not just about the successes; life on this earth is also about the troubles we overcome to discover what God has hidden in our faith to find! Troubles are more a challenge to grow in our faith ... It is not easy, but in the end the grace of God we discover is worth experiencing God in the midst. By Grace, I have discovered Jesus is Peace and He is my Joy and Wisdom from Heaven. God is our Provider and Healer and Creator, who is our help and shield over all things. By grace, I have experienced a nearness to God through my faith in His Son! We are well forgiven by God; and well blessed when we know and believe the love that God has for us. To say, "all is well with my soul" is a powerful knowledge to understand and experience. I sense God's desire for you to know His love for you and how deep His love for you is that He has SO loved you; God gave you His Son. God loves you right now just as you are! There is so much to learn! I believe that as we learn from God, we are God’s gift to each other. It is all God’s story –and for His glory; and God has SO loved us. I love to paint the vision that God has given me about a Father’s love –that God wants you to dream again and visualize His love for you! In God’s eyes, there’s more to life than we see; and in a world that sometimes misrepresents and misunderstands God and love; God wants you to have the courage to dream His dream and see His vision of a Father’s love for you! Many years ago, I prayed to God, “How can I tell a million people what I know about Your Son?” God showed me I had a gift of a ministry about God's Love; and He called it Hope in Today! I write to please God and I write to encourage you; and I write to spend quiet time with God. All because of this love that God has first shown me! I need Jesus –and my life is about my relationship with God. And, every blessing begins with Him! Love in Christ, Karen Rowe, Director Hope in Today Ministries, Inc.
