Jesus Defined Himself, By Karen Rowe
Jesus is the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd gave his life for the sheep.
Good morning my social distancing friends. This is a difficult time to be distanced, but do you know how near Jesus is to you?
Friends, the Spirit of the Lord Jesus lives in you when you 1st believe on Jesus- Lord have mercy, God knew you before you were born, so God is there waiting to be believed on in your heart…if you will just believe.
Here Jesus is talking to people just like us. There were all types of people Jesus was helping to see, but friends, the Lord took my thoughts over to the blind man who just couldn’t see, but he begged Jesus to see!
Jesus had to touch him twice! Then he could see!
Sometimes, God allows us to be blind, so that we can be touched by Jesus to see the Miracle of God with us. God knows what we need to see.Jesus made him look up! Sometimes, we get so busy, God has to make us look up too, So that we can see just how much God loves us. He is near!
COVID19 has us distanced, but not separated.
Death temporarily separates us, but doesn’t divide us! See? Jesus said, I have to go away for a while, SO THAT the comforter will come. Jesus said, it is better that I go away for you that you will receive…
Jesus makes us look up. Look at the patience of Jesus here, How is it you do not understand? THEN, Jesus healed the blind man!!!
Be careful for nothing.
Be aware of the difference in “Emotional Fixes” and Spiritual Connections.
Jesus entered into this world by the door … and into our heart by Grace.
Believe the ONE who loves you!
True worship is to dive into God’s Word and ask Jesus to show you more about all things…Friends, I was blind but now I see!
Ok, I think of the mercy God has on me. I see God do all these signs and wonders that come from following Jesus, but I write them down so I don’t doubt what I saw as time marches on.
See? Can you see Jesus perhaps tilting his head like a puppy trying so hard to communicate with us AND NO, I believe Jesus held his head straight and firm upright at all times, but Really guys, did you not see the people eat all that food?
John Chapter 10 and Mark Chapter 8
Another view of Mark Chapter 8 … How many miracles did you see ? THEN, how many times did he touch the blind man? And, Jesus made him look up! I pray this inspires you to open your Bible to worship God in seeking the Truth for your own personal desires to know the truth straight from God / not me, but Jesus. The one and same Jesus: The Good Shepherd who gave His life for his sheep.
Thought? Who begged Jesus to touch the Blind man? Was it the blind man? Or, Was it they that wanted to Spiritually see Jesus?
Friends, Jesus loves you my friends! You have not disappointed him; Jesus knows He is your Shepherd! And Jesus knows you hear HIS Voice.
Follow Him. Experience His Peace! Know His power. Walk in His Authority! Be willing to surrender…knowing Jesus is the One True Wisdom and He tells us, as His Friends, everything God tells Him.
So you are not alone! Jesus loves you! Jesus has OVERCOME all things for you!
He is the Shepherd and He is the Good Shepherd.
Will you open your Bible today to see what God wants you to see Today. Something good is on the horizon and we can totally trust and depend on God!
Note: many people say they can do many things they cannot. BUT a true carpenter can do what he says he can do. That’s why Jesus defines Himself as the Good Shepherd!
I hope this drives you to Truly Worship God in Spirit. They ate?
Today’s References are found in John Chapter 10 and Mark Chapter 8.
Many people say that can do many things they cannot do. But Jesus is the Good Shepherd and the Good Shepherd has both predicted his own death, burial and resurrection AND has pulled it off! It is like finding the good Carpenter who really is a Carpenter, because many people say they can … BUT when they do it ____ What Jesus has done and continues to do for us / like carpentry, the proof is the great Reveal! Get to know Jesus and when you do, will you join me in saying, “Thank You Jesus!” ?
He has a message written on your heart! When you read it Written, you will know.
You will not feel isolated, if you will go to the Word of God and pray in Jesus Name to hear what God wants to say! True Worship is filling your soul with the true and living Word. His Name is Jesus and He has a message written on our heart! When you read it Written, you will know.
Love in Christ,
Karen
IN CLOSING ALWAYS …
The Pure in Heart is Christ!
Jesus peers before us, so He already knows … Faith in Christ is where all blessings from God are discovered! Follow Jesus and Trust in God. There is no fear in Love, but perfect love drives out fear. That’s why there is a calm that comes over you when you hear the Word of God preached. And that is why fear creeps in AT you when you hear the media preach. JESUS calms the storms and there is no mountain Satan can build high enough that faith IN CHRIST can’t tear down. Jesus is the name above all names.
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.
Holy Spirit encourage the readers today. Lift our minds higher to God’s Thoughts. Bless those who will receive. And, keep molding our hearts to be always ready to bloom for the glory of God to be a blessing to us all.
and pray …in the Spirit of the Most Holy God. God knows what He is doing.
Love in Christ,
Karen Rowe
