“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: (Philippians 2:5 KJV).”
I pray the JOY of the LORD lifts your mind at ease. The Joy of the Lord is real & evidence of a Living God helping us grow toward being more like Jesus – level by level as a staircase is build to climb … just one step at a time. For a purpose: To get somewhere worth climbing to!
Never did God ask a human, “Which level of commitment can we count on, before Jesus volunteered to Come for us. Jesus Qualified and always remember this: Jesus had every temptation to take the OPT out, but He stayed His MIND on God; and always remembered His mission for you and for me, because God so loved the world. Look it up! It’s in God’s Bible. Friends, when you receive this, (which means by my faith, if you are reading this, then you have or will receive this as a Child of God), when you receive this from God, you will never be the same!
Holy Spirit you are welcome here! Lord God, lift our minds up to Jesus and Let this mind be in us, who believe, which was also in Christ Jesus.
Dear Children of the Father God, do you know and believe in the love God has for you? God is love. Abide in love and you are abiding in Christ Jesus; and God in you.

Daily Devotion to God’s Holy Word.
Let’s Celebrate Jesus! By Karen Rowe
I love to talk with people who love to talk about Jesus. But many just want to talk about their agendas.
So I question me.
Did you watch the Passion of the Christ last night?
Jesus is His Name & who would say yes Father never the less my soul; your will be done, BUT Jesus did!
This is a sticking point to my soul!
How dare I close my eyes to His reflection in my heart?
God once told me, hush, you are not ready to serve me yet! You haven’t even read My Bible yet. And God IS right on every level! Who knew but God, I needed to hear His Word to be begin the transformation process to be of like Jesus? And who can serve if we are not like Jesus?
Friends, today as every day, This is the day the Lord has made for us. Now rejoice and be glad in It, because we don’t know how many days are in TIME.
But I can assure you of one thing, there is HOPE in this world as long as God calls it Today.
Bad will still be happening, BECAUSE we are in the Camp with Jesus. Pray for your own Revelation, but as for me, I am convinced God is good and all men will be saved! Who won’t Be? The Beasts in the field & who are they, but those Jesus identified as children of the devil.
If you watched the movie last night, read the Bible and pray in the Holy Spirit of God in Jesus Name. Would a child of God be capable of doing that much harm? Did you gasp when you watched? Did you cry when you watched, did you put your self with him to try to take what Jesus took for you only to know you couldn’t have gotten back up like Jesus did? If you have love for others – even if people make you angry, you my friend are one of the ones like me – imperfect, but loved and a child of God in Jesus Name. Amen.
Holy Spirit thank you for keeping us beyond our self. Our carnal mind now is our only real enemy! Because Jesus has made the devil beneath us.
Light to our knowledge and nourishment to our soul. Lord you are forgiveness, as warm oil [Holy Spirit is] the carrier!
Today, if you hear HIS Voice- even in reading this, do not harden your heart as they did in the rebellion, say, yes Lord, I am listening & ask Jesus to help you be a better reflection of the Salvation that IS come!
I hope this has been / or will be a blessing to you.
Love in Christ,
Karen
Pictures for Today:
Think of the darkness of our thoughts, our emotions and even our will.
Jesus said, my people are perishing for a lack of knowledge.
I pray this brings a light of understanding to your soul!
Friends, when you see God is good and evil is evil, you will never be the same.
You won’t spend so much time trying to figure God out … You will spend more time asking God to change your own heart to love like Jesus and be a reflection of the one true KING!
This is the power of light to the darkness!
When one child of God receives the LIGHT, a light will light up an entire dark room!
Go and make disciples … Yes, God is calling you.
Many are called / few are chosen. Are you willing, is the question? Jesus was.
I love to talk about Jesus because He offers us eternal life, joy and peace!
Talking about Jesus brings joy to my spirit and peace to my soul!
Another reason -A Day of Salvation, that Jesus died and Rose again. Not because I loved Him, but because He loved me. And, because Jesus went through all that for me, I will let nothing separate me from the love of God!
I am convinced, sure and persuaded that nothing shall separate me from the love of God, because Jesus is the keeper of my soul; He is my new soul! Jesus is my new mind! Jesus is my new emotion! Jesus is my new will – To do the will of the Father and love God and love those who God has ALSO so loved!
Friends, when a thought comes to you, compare it to God’s Word. Just because Satan may send you a thought to your mind, doesn’t mean you have to accept it as true and as your way you will respond to the thought.
You may think, but …“Did you see what they did to me?”
Friends, may I plant a different way of thinking into your thoughts? BUT JESUS.
The Bible says, they spit in Jesus face; and he went on to the cross anyway; and for who so ever will believe, even praying Father forgive them, they know not what they do. Now, leave the rest up to God, just watch your soul.
Why do they call it Good Friday? I have always wondered that; I mean it was not a good Friday “kind of day” was it? But my friends in Christ, it is a Good Friday, because, “It is OVER!” Jesus did it! It’s done! It is finished! It is accomplished! Jesus is NOT going through the torture of death anymore! BUT HE DID DO IT!
AND, let’s Celebrate, because, Jesus is Risen! Jesus is alive and well and seated at the right hand of the Father. It is a good Friday every Friday when you receive that Friday as your own Salvation to your very own soul!
Yes, I love to talk about Jesus.
And, NOW! Yes! And, the truth is written in Romans 8:35-39 King James Version (KJV)
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Yes, I love to talk about Jesus, because I know Jesus saved my soul, and He offers eternal life, joy and peace.
I will not LET nothing separate me from the love of God …
I am convinced that nothing shall separate me from the love of God – Our soul is sealed by the same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the grave!
Jesus brings joy to my spirit and peace to my soul to tell you that God has so loved you; and Jesus has said, It is Finished from the cross He took for you.
It is Finished leaves you with only 2 steps:
Written in Romans 10:9-10 King James Version (KJV),
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Matthew 7:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
This doesn’t mean people will treat you well, just because you do well by them.
Guard your heart and let your words you speak come back to you with Peace and Joy that you have pleased God. This is living in the blessing. Not that we have loved others. Not that we have loved God. But that God has loved us. Believing on JESUS is the blessing. We love, because God 1st loved us. Lord, I hope I am saying this right.
God loves you so much! COME to JESUS and tell him what God already knows. Work it out with Jesus and life and be blessed even TODAY as a Citizen of heaven, as on earth as it is in Heaven.
This is why I am Happy! Jesus is Alive! And, he calls me a friend.
SEE? The blessing is that we receive the light of knowledge of the love God has for us. We plant of that seed; and God will give the increase. You may not see what is happening, but you are going through this for someone other than yourself.
Like Jesus …. Jesus went through this for us; not himself.
Thoughts?
IN CLOSING ALWAYS …
THE PURE IN HEART IS CHRIST!
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)
