A Testimony … From Scared to Smiles, By Karen Rowe
I haven’t read this book (mentioned below) yet, I just read the message.
I couldn’t agree more! I used to have horrible dreams about someone dying. I didn’t understand beyond the casket. BUT GOD HAS DELIVERED ME FROM THAT FEAR! Thank you Jesus!
Do you remember the H1N1 Swine Flu? Daniel was in PRE-K & we both were diagnosed. Say what? The dreaded H1N1 if I am remembering the name right?
I was honestly scared! Sound familiar with this COVID19 Virus today?
That night, our energetic son stood limp as I held him upright. I was scared …not knowing what to expect, but thoughts of fear arose in my head.
I laid him down to sleep & prayed over him in Jesus Name!!! In his sleep, Daniel began to smile!
I went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for when Robert Rowe come home from work. A hour or so, when Rob arrived home, he directly went in to check on Daniel. He come out of his room saying, “Karen, he is smiling.”
I said, I know! Ever since I prayed over him in Jesus Name, he has had a smile.
The night was peaceful! Every time we went into His room, there was such a strong presence of Peace present and real in Daniels room!
We slept!
The next morning, I heard his little 3 year old feet hit the floor. I went straightaway into Daniel’s room!
I slid close to Daniel and met him on my knees to be close to him. “How are you feeling son?” He responded, “I am fine mommy. Jesus was watching over me all night.”
I said, “How do you know this?” He confirmed the Peace we felt in his room all night! “Because I saw Him mommy. I saw Jesus. And he was watching over me all night.” Then! Daniel took his little hands and spread them out one at a time as he spoke in reference to who Jesus was watching over, expanding in saying “And, He was watching over you and daddy and Amanda …He was watching over the whole world.”
John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
We need to talk with our kids about Jesus & I hope this book is a good recommendation. I can testify Jesus in our life.
Love in Christ, Karen
NOTE:
(NEW) Ancient Adventures: 20 Epic Stories from the Bible
I have not read yet. But this is the book that I was referring to in this post. I tried to share the comment from that post, because it was with this book & that comment that stirred my heart to share this testimony that you just read, but figured the book that I referred to was about Jesus either way. ????
Yet, I don’t normally recommend things I don’t read 1st. However, this was recommended by a Pastor at 11:30 PM to a panicked mom of 2 kids in her room & one of them screaming, scared & asking questions no mom wants to hear their child may be thinking… that they were going to die??? The pastor advised this is great opportunity to talk about Jesus and recommended this book.
Today is a good day to reshare as an …
opportunity to talk about Jesus
Dear Reader and Friend in Christ,
There is so much out there for us to encourage us that God is Real and Alive and living on the inside of us through and by believing on Jesus, the Christ, the Son of the Living God! Today, I prayed, God I am up, how can I serve you? So after the Devotion, I began seeing others sharing the same thing that the Lord always puts on a child of God’s heart, God is Real.
Instead of sharing the Devotion Today, which can be found on Hope in Today’s Instagram if you feel led by the Spirit of God to read, it’s my faith and now I have shared a testimony with you; the same that I shared on my fb earlier this week.
I prayed for God’s method not to overload you, but also for Today’s Devotion:

After I shared the Devotion Today, I saw 2 things, Shari singing “God is Real”, and Steven Furtick sharing about how can we serve others in a time like this. This drove me to the Word of God to see what the Bible says to us about the difference Jesus makes in our life in the way we see anything!
I hope this helps you see Greater is God in you, than the enemy / or anything from the enemy in this world!
in the way we see
Name your Goliath, … and Today world wide we can identify COVID19 as a Goliath! Now, ask Jesus to open your eyes to see this thing through God’s eyes and speak to your mountain and tell it to move. Ask Jesus to protect you and others; and believe what God helps you to see!
Thinking of the difference in the servants view that sees the enemy; & Elijah, who closed his eyes to see Gods perspective & how he prayed in 2 Kings 6:
This is why I am sharing with you today; in this way. Holy Spirit you are welcome here!
Today, do you see the COVID19 with fear and panic? Or through the eyes of Jesus, with God’s perspective of this Goliath with power and authority and faith in whom God is?
“And when the SERVANT of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his SERVANT said unto him, Alas, my master!
HOW SHALL WE DO?”
“And he answered, FEAR NOT: FOR they that be WITH US are MORE THAN they that be with them. AND Elisha PRAYED, and said, Lord , I pray thee, open his eyes, THAT he may see. ????AND the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; AND he SAW: and, BEHOLD, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
2 Kings 6:15-17 KJV
And the Lord brings to my remembrance what Jesus says about who we are to Him when we follow Jesus!
who we are
A servant / or a Friend?
to HIM when we follow Jesus!
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his Lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
John 15:15 KJV
The verse Today? [See the Devotion of Today] Doesn’t this fit perfectly? To God be the Glory & Thank you Jesus. I pray this is a blessing to you Today!
I hope you can see this short & powerful video Steven Furtick is speaking. Here is the link:
Amen.

IN CLOSING ALWAYS …
Faith pleases God. And it is impossible please God without faith.
BUT LET a man EXAMINE himself, AND SO LET him eat OF THAT bread, and drink OF THAT cup.
1 Corinthians 11:28 KJV
FOR THIS CAUSE many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
1 Corinthians 11:30 KJV
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
James 1:12 KJV
THAT’S ALL FROM ME FOR TODAY!
And, Always Remember 2 Things!
1. When you receive this, you will never be the same!
2. God for us. God with us. God in us.
NOW … Believing on Jesus,
AFTER THIS MANNER THEREFORE PRAY YE:
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV)

And to God be the Glory!
