Jesus, Help Me Be A Blessing to Someone, By Karen Rowe

Dear Friends,

No edits!  (If there is a typo, forgive)  BUT, Jesus loves you.  Jesus understands you.  You are not alone!  How do I know this?  Because I know the God of Great Patience that is for me, with me and in me.  And, God is good; and He is a Good Good Father who loves us so!  God is not the world’s Father, but Jesus is the world’s Savior!  Jesus makes the God who loves us, Our Father.  We choose who we follow; and we are here to give you thoughts to consider, so that you have the freedom in your choices to make legit choices.  We can talk to God and rest assured, He has already accounted for anything we can think, say or do.  Repent is a powerful change of perception and life giving transformation.

I felt convicted yesterday!  Lord, I prayed, did I … ?  Lord, knew, I wanted to hide, but what happened was I KNEW repentance is the work of Salvation!  Because I agreed with God!  See Amos 3:3 (Can 2 walk together except they be agreed?); Because I agreed with God that He loves me and is near to help me, I leaned in close to Jesus and talked out my heart to God and healed.  SEE?  I could have chosen to hide {from God?}  Friends, when God already knows!  NO!  See?  When we believe in God’s love for us, we know there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus!

Quickly painting a picture of this, before we move on.  Jesus come for the lost sheep! That is you and me!  A sheep is pictured in perfection as white and pure white fluffy wool.  But friends, Jesus knows what a lost sheep looks like!  Overgrown & matted / dirty wool!  But JESUS!  BUT JESUS!  BUT JESUS!  When Jesus picks us up, He cleans us up and lets us know how much we are loved …. UNCONDITIONALLY of how we might look or smell from being a lost sheep.  But to deny we need JESUS??????  Friends, if we try to hide our wrong or ugly actions / attitudes / convictions from God, …how can Jesus pick us up if we continue running FROM HIM?  Be still and know that God is God; and LET God be God; and you be you and LET JESUS do what only God can do for you through and by His saving & healing Holy Spirit!

I believe the Lord is helping me grow in the area of releasing the control to Him.  Today, I repented of trying to control others, when I am only called to Self-Control, which is only through and by the Holy Spirit power that I lean on.  We have to let God’s Bible open into our hearts and let the Holy Spirit massage God’s Word into our heart until we shine like God wants us to shine for Jesus.

1st we confess we believe on Jesus.  Do you know and believe in the love God has for you?  And, … perhaps,    do     you    know    ???   HOW MUCH God loves you?  Friends, when we realize how much God has SO loved us … when you receive this you will never be the same.

The God of Jacob?
Jacob deceived his father Isaac. Jacob received his lot of being deceived himself … Read this incredible account of Jacob’s Story that is written for us to SEE the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob! Friends, it’s like God had a massive and wonderful puzzle that HE rained the pieces down from Heaven to Earth; and Jesus COME and we can see the pieces fitting together perfectly as the Story of Jesus unfolds to OUR LIFE. God is not surprised by what we do; and the lineage from Abraham to Jesus is incredible for us to know HOW MUCH our God has SO loved us since before the beginning of TIME! Time is for TODAY; and for as long as God calls TIME Today! Will you allow yourself to live one Today unwrapped in the Glory and Presence of God? Call out to Jesus and know and believe in the love God has for you! FRIENDS, when you receive this you will never be the same! THIS message is for you Today. Love in Christ, Karen. Lord, I pray I serve you well. Holy Spirit you are welcome here. In Jesus Name.

The same God who SO LOVED me, is the same God who SO LOVED the world!  And, God’s Bible to us says, ”

John 3:16 King James Version (KJV)

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

And, God is so good that He followed that verse with more understanding about His love for us,  “17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world;    but that    the world     through him      might be     saved (John 3:17, KJV).”

Understanding comes!  In the Name of Jesus, Understanding comes at just the right time!

John Chapter 3 Continues …

18 He that believeth on him is NOT condemned:

but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed

in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

 

Simple is not the way of God, but the way of the world.  Nothing in the Kingdom of God is simple, UNTIL we receive the revelation from God Himself.  Nothing is simple until we get our understanding from God himself.  Then, when understanding comes, Peace and Joy do come with Presence, Power and Authority, which is OVER all things that work against us to bring us down, tear us up, or to drift us away from God’s Faithful love for us.  God’s Word truly is the GLUE to keep our soul close to God; and JESUS is HIS NAME!

 

This helped me, because yesterday I needed to know the difference between the story of the Joseph, and the Coat of Many Colors & the Jacob the deceived his father for Esau’s Birthright and Blessings. Friends, when you receive this you will never be the same! Jacob’s soul wrestled with God … God had no intentions of harming Jacob, but only to let Jacob know who God was! God saw a SEED of Repentance in Jacob! And, God renamed Jacob Israel. God changed deception to honesty and from not praying to praying. Friends, don’t get mad at satan for doing his job. LET the JOY of the LORD rise up with in you! And, as for me and my household, we will worship the Lord our God only! Let the JOY of the LORD be your strength! And, let the PEACE of Jesus be the wind beneath your sail!

 

Do you sense His Presence?

I hope this is a blessing to you too!  Oh my!  Do you sense His Presence?  I feel His Spirit in me so full right now!  Yesterday was a day of learning and I was seeking about all day.   BUT friends, like this day for me, when in the morning comes (if we don’t give up on God), Understanding (light daylight) will swell your heart with such a presence of God, that it is a closeness to God “on earth as it is in Heaven”.  In Jesus Powerful Name.  The Presence and Help of Christ Jesus, I can come boldly before the Throne of God, seeking.  And, it is powerful to trust God’s love enough to confess out loud, seek and find, because friends, Jesus is the Good Shepherd and He won’t leave us lost, when we are already found by Him.

See?  So we have no reason to control.  But we have every reason to pray.

Love you in Christ to write this.

Blessings,
Karen

Jesus, Help Me Be A Blessing to Someone, By Karen Rowe

The light is sitting on the leaves. It almost appears as there are no leaves. It almost appears there is empty space, but the light is reflecting from the light that is sitting on the leaves.

Sitting ?

That was how I saw it & that is what I heard the Lord say. The Bible says also to always be ready to give a defense for the hope that lives inside you.

With that, the Lord perceives that we may question Him. And the Holy Spirit of God in Jesus Name doesn’t mind answering us. Place your hand on some thing the sunlight has been sitting on for a while. It will be of a changed temperature from the touch of the light.

In Jesus Name is a powerful name & when the Holy Spirit of God touches us, we will never be the same.

This morning in prayer to God, the Lord touched my sOul. He lifted me up to a place of repair from yesterday’s problems / lessons & even mistakes to a place of Spiritual hope, energy and fullness ready to give again.

FRIENDS, we all get “spent” some times. Especially in this alone time with too much time to think.

I will close with 2 thoughts.
1. Jacob’s lies & deception landed him in a place of living a life much the same. A life of being deceived & disappointed. BUT GOD! God tells us the truth & Repentance changed Jacob from deception to honesty & from a place of not praying to praying. God saw a seed in Jacob And renamed Jacob Israel. – Repentance is for us!

2. Turn your thinking too much into praying more. If it comes to you; seek The Name of Jesus in the situation and pray as the Lord wills.

Friends, God is for you too!

The God of Abraham, The God of Isaac, The God of Jacob and the linage of Jesus. God has SO loved the world.

It is not too late to call on Jesus Today.
It is not too late to read God’s Bible and hear a message God knows you need. A word is waiting for you.

How long do you seek? Until you hear God speak!

Peace my my FRIENDS!

Enter those Gates with Thanksgiving & let your heart lift the name of God with Praise! Lord, my sOul was beginning to wrestle with you Lord, but you have lifted me up again to a brand new day you have called Today!

Yesterday’s are to learn by; tomorrows are grace.

Will you pray this prayer with me that Jesus teaches us to pray for us?  Will you say Amen with me?

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 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. The Word of God from God's Bible: For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. ☆ No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? ☆ But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Matthew 6:9‭-‬10‭, ‬12‭-‬15‭, ‬21‭-‬22‭, ‬24‭-‬26‭, ‬33‭-‬34 KJV ● The Devotion & Verse of Today is posted in Hope in Today's Daily Devotion to God's Holy Word; and the focal Verse? "Therefore also now, saith the Lord , turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: (Joel 2:12 KJV)." I pray this is a blessing to you too. Love in Christ, Karen

“Change Your Life: The Message Bible.
12 But there’s also this, it’s not too late—
God’s personal Message!—
“Come back to me and really mean it!
Come fasting and weeping, sorry for your sins!”
13-14 Change your life, not just your clothes.
Come back to God, your God.
And here’s why: God is kind and merciful.
He takes a deep breath, puts up with a lot,
This most patient God, extravagant in love,
always ready to cancel catastrophe.
Who knows? Maybe he’ll do it now,
maybe he’ll turn around and show pity.
Maybe, when all’s said and done,
there’ll be blessings full and robust for your God!
Joel 2:12-13 The Message
“A Call to Repentance,” NKJV Bible.
It’s God’s Bible, Holy Spirit minister a message to us Today.
In Jesus Name. Amen.

 

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:

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)

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.
