The Cross of the Commandment of God's Love ... Are your FEET WASHED BY JESUS.

Dear Friends,

There is a position in Christ Jesus that we can grow to know that when we learn to pray like Jesus, we can pray in the GATES (our heart is clean through and by JESUS to thank God for the knowledge and understanding of HOW & what to pray …already entered into those Gates with a heart FILLED with ThanksGiving for JESUS); and we can pray in the Courts of Heaven (our heart is clean ^^^ and our feet are washed through and by Jesus) to Praise God for the work God is doing on behalf of our prayers … that He Makes as the INCREASE of our prayer petition from IN the COURTS WITH GOD!

 

 

Psalm 100:4-5 King James Version (KJV)

4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.

 

 

NOW, According to the Word of God, do you know and believe in the love God has for you?  God is LOVE; abide in love and your are abiding in Jesus and you are abiding in God and God abides in you.  (emphasis mine:  See John 4:16)

 

Finally as an introduction as the Lord Jesus brings to my remembrance:

A soul-seed must 1st die to selfish ambitions (JESUS KNEW WHY HE MUST DIE) that we can …to grow in the spirit of the Living Lord … but as Jesus died … and HE IS Risen … In HIM, so are we!  We are HIS Increase!

As we die to selfish soul (our mind, our emotions and our will)  As we roll up our works unto the Lord [commit and trust them WHOLLY to God], HE WILL CAUSE our thoughts to become agreeable to HIS WILL; and thus our plans will be established and succeed!

Lord, God is Mercy!  LOOK at what ALL God has DONE for us!

If a grain dies it produces MUCH grain
Follow Jesus
Love God
Love others
Make Disciples

Feed your heart God’s  LIVING Word

= Jesus is the Living Word!

NOTICE THE WORDS:
ARE TO BE ON YOUR HEARTS …
IMPRESS THEM ON YOUR CHILDREN …
TALK ABOUT THEM
WHEN?
WHEN YOU SIT AT HOME and WHEN YOU WALK ALONG THE ROAD…
WHEN YOU LIE DOWN
AND WHEN YOU RISE UP.

What Does Feet Have To Do with Our Relationship with God? By Karen Rowe

This is an X-Ray of our son, who has a broken bone that is healing.
Notice the flesh and the bones in this picture. BUT YOU CAN NOT SEE the Heart of our son can you?
Jesus teaches us about the Heart in Today’s Devotion.
This is very important to understand.
Jesus said, you do not understand now WHY I am washing your feet that MAKES your heart clean, but SOON you will KNOW … Read all these chapters Today!
And when you receive this you will never be the same!
Acts! From Abraham; to Joseph, to Moses to Solomon to David / & we find Saul & Israel who rejected God.
Then the high priest said, “Are these things so?”
Acts 7:1
The Bible explains the HEART JESUS knows well!
Always has and always will.
The taste of death written in Acts 7! BUT,We find Stephen in the Presence of the Risen God, glorifed in His Son Jesus!

Read all about it!

Read all about it!

Read all about it!

Read all about it!
This is just to stir your heart to seek the WORD that brings LIFE to your HEART thru and by JESUS!
And they stoned Stephen AS he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
Acts 7:59
As Stephen was living this life he had RECEIVED in his heart by the GRACE of God!

Proof?

And they stoned Stephen AS HE WAS CALLING ON GOD AND SAYING, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” THEN he knelt down and cried out WITH A LOUD VOICE, “LORD, do NOT charge THEM WITH THIS SIN.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.
Acts 7:59‭-‬60
John Chapter 13 Notice words like: The devil had already PUT it into the heart of Judas / and Jesus knowing Judas was NOT clean in his heart, identified HIS betrayer..
JESUS ANSWERED, “It is he to WHOM I SHALL GIVE a piece of bread WHEN I HAVE dipped it. ” AND HAVING dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. NOW AFTER THE PIECE OF BREAD, Satan ENTERED him. THEN JESUS SAID to him, “What you do, DO QUICKLY.”
John 13:26‭-‬27
Betrayal & Glory
JESUS GIVES US THE HOLY SPIRIT to HAVE LIFE!
The Bread of our heart …
FEED YOUR HEART GOD’S WORD – and the Word is JESUS – * see John 1:1; from Genesis to Revelations!
Peter said, NOPE!  UNTIL JESUS EXPLAINED …
PETER CHANGED HIS MIND WHEN JESUS EXPLAINED =  THEN PETER SAID< WASH MY HANDS AND HEAD TOO!  JESUS, said, calm down….I know what I am doing; your feet; I am already in your heart … This JESUS KNEW; Didn’t HE?
How do you see this?  What does the Bible say about PUT on the Helmet of SALVATION for your head / mind…
Isn’t Jesus dealing with our feet prepared with the readiness of the Gospel of PEACE!
Our heart He knows; our MIND is a Transformation; Our Soul is Transfered into life; and our Spirit is Made alive!
How quick are we to forgive?
How ready are we to pray and walk by faith … to love others as Jesus has loved the world…?
What is the Lord saying to you?
He is saying so much to me!  This is just a glimpse to stir your heart too!  As Jesus stirs mine!
Jesus answered, what I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this …. Peter said, NOPE!
BUT WATCH HIS HEART CHANGE WHEN HE LEARNED FROM JESUS …
When Jesus said,
“IF I DO NOT WASH YOU, YOU HAVE NO PART WITH ME.”
Simon Peter said to Him, “Lord, not my feet ONLY, but also my hands and my head!”
JESUS SAID>
he who is bathed NEEDS ONLY to wash his feet, but it completely clean; and your are clean, but not all of you.” …
JESUS KNEW who would betray HIM … THEREFORE He said, “You are not all clean.”
Heart check?
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; AS I have loved you, THAT ye also love one another.
John 13:34 KJV
Study Guide …
Study Guide … Holy Spirit Guide your feet through and by Jesus who has made them washed!    Remember what John the Baptist said, “He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose (John 1:27, KJV).”

Connect the Dots …

Acts! From Abraham; to Joseph, to Moses to Solomon to David / & we find Saul & Israel who rejected God.
Then the high priest said, “Are these things so?”
Acts 7:1

Acts 7:54-56 New King James Version (NKJV)

Stephen the Martyr

54 When they heard these things they were [a]cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth. 55 But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, 56 and said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!”

“Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”
Matthew 16:28 》Acts 7:54  ^^^^
Jesus Predicted His Own Death, Burial and Resurrection!
“JESUS has come / that should be / and is!”
But Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour has come that the Son of Man should be glorified.
John 12:23   GOD PREDICTED SO THAT WE SHOULD BELIEVE!
These things MUST HAPPEN!  Then and NOW … that NT Jesus is with us in the Power of the Holy Spirit …. HAVE YOU BELIEVED?   ….have you had your SPIRITUAL feet ALSO washed by Jesus?
Would you betray Jesus for 30 pieces of Silver?
What would this even look like?   … Remember they looked back and requested little ‘g’ gods …
Who is the Lord of our heart?
“Yea, a man may say, “Thou hast faith, and I have works.” Show me thy faith apart from thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works (James 2:18, KJV).”
So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him. If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, AND GLORIFY HIM IMMEDIATELY.
John 13:31‭-‬32
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
John 13:34
Begin & Seek
ONLY FEET PETER … Jesus washes feet – Jesus already knew Peter’s Heart was Clean!!!

“…the devil having now

put into the heart of

IF WE CAN BE OF A HELP TO YOU, PLEASE LET US KNOW HOW…

THIS IS WHY GOD NAMED HOPE IN TODAY MINISTRIES.

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.

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.

  1. Still growing in this ! Think of 2 different ways Jesus addressed 2 different followers. When Peter said, Not you Jesus, & Jesus rebuked Satan from His way & when Jesus identified Judas who the devil had already put betrayal on his heart! Jesus provided THE WAY when HE gave His Bread (BODY) / Dipped in His Blood that Jesus was about to pour out for us as a sin offering! Glory be the God for this revealtion! Then, Jesus commanded the speed! Jesus sent Judas & instructed Judas to do quickly! Which he obeyed! Thank you Jesus! Jesus, You truely laid down your life for us in every good & perfect way. You are good and perfect! MY Savior & Lord! Love in Christ, Karen

  2. Still growing in this!

    Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
    John 4:13‭-‬14 KJV

    I gotta be honest, I have been struggling with injustice ONLY for the LORD to bring me back to WHY He come in the 1st place. That peace we can trade ??? I discovered is beyond my family… I discovered I feel (emotional) to protect the innocent. Every time a curve ball! I Listened to a message again…Stay in the Word! And like that water!!! Peace and calm flooded back in!!! I truely believe we are to pray for methods to demonstrate the Love of Jesus in a dead and dying world! But not by the law. But by grace. People are genuinely hurting. And how QUICK I am to want to revert back from all that I have learned! If I feel it…it is theirs….interceding is for prayers! For the other person…then the living water & Peace FLOWS!

    Blessings,
    Karen

  3. I just read this again this morning. Look! The “Always Ending” was already there … To God be the Glory!

    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

  4. Still growing in this!
    This has been. Huge !

    Yesterday, I had to pray and ask God whether to _ / or not to.

    You know Faith! Faith pleases God and without Faith….

    Anyway, I Listened to the Lord as I heard Romans 14 & 15 read aloud to me the answer!

    I parked. I told the Lord, I will … based on your Word. Let this honor you.

    I finished.

    I sit and told God, But I didn’t make a difference to anyone….

    The Lord spoke to me, “But you pleased me.”

    Today is my birthday!

    I asked God for 1 thing.
    I asked God to reveal to ALL I love what He has revealed to me.

    I have received 3 gifts so far!

    Glory be to God!

    I hope I receive more than I can count! Because the Grace of God is with us!

    All we have to do is believe, become familiar, Make ourselves available & obey the impressions & Revealtions of the Lord!

    Let the Light of His Love Flow!
    LET LIGHT FLOW
    LET LOVE FLOW!

    Praise God for this revealtion!

    Thank you Jesus & Dewey & FGGAM for this platform to share what God gives me!

    Love and Light & to God be the Glory.

    Love in Christ,
    Karen
