What Does The Resurrection Mean To You? Part 3: By Karen Rowe
Physical death is the separation of your soul from your body.
Spiritual death is your soul separated from God.
Resurrection is God’s will fulfilled.
That we will not remain separated from God without a choice to reject Resurrection of our soul.
My friends, what was important about the Resurrection? This will be a short devotion, because it follows along and as the Lord gives.
Do any of us believe we need corrected / changed, until the Holy Spirit of God convinces our soul to believe?
Jesus is the Resurrection!
A good assignment is for us to prepare for an ever-increasing knowledge of God’s Love for His Son, by reading John Chapter 12 Today!
Painting a picture:
It was six days BEFORE the Passover!
Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was !!! who had been dead !!! Whom Jesus had raised from the dead !!!
THERE: They made him a supper! Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table WITH HIM!!!
THEN: Mary took a POUND of VERY costly OIL & anointed the feet of Jesus & wiped His feet with her hair. The WHOLE HOUSE was filled with the fragrance of the oil!!!
BUT Judas who would betray Him said … ???
Jesus cared for the poor, but Jesus knew this Judas was a thief! He wanted the money, but what did the resurrection mean to Mary?
What does the Resurrection mean to you?
*Read on in John Chapter 12 *
The “chief know it alls” (Doesn’t that title fit?) plotted to kill Lazarus too – they plotted to put Lazarus to death also! I mean, really? Read on! They wanted to get Lazarus testimony out of their way too,
Because on account of Lazarus being raised from the dead and having an incredibly POWERFUL testimony and relationship with Jesus, MANY of (the know-it-all’s followers) went away …
AND!!! BELIEVED in Jesus!!!
but …
NOW check out this!
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
John 12:19, KJV
Let’s read that again in the NKJV!
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves,
“You see that you are accomplishing nothing.
Look, the world has gone after Him!”
John 12:19, NKJV
If this was a blessing to you, we would love to hear how this message encouraged or inspired you to grow in your relationship with God!
We hope you join us for more! We have more to post for you!!!

We need each other to get to where God calls us to go!
IF WE CAN BE OF A HELP TO YOU, PLEASE LET US KNOW HOW…
IN CLOSING ALWAYS …
THE PURE IN HEART IS CHRIST!
Praise God – For we are ever-increasing in HIS power and in His knowledge that is of God!
THIS:
” For God
hath not given us the spirit of fear;
but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. “
Thru and By Jesus,
God has given us the Holy Spirit OF His Mind … A Sound Mind is HIS Mind, which translates to Self-Control & Self-Disclipline! . . . . Is this good for you Today?
Obedience to God IN Faith in & of The 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 a POWERFUL Name! & Jesus is the name above all names.
FAITH PLEASES GOD.
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).”
Thank you Jesus for this Revelation? I pray in Jesus Name for you to Receive in Christ the life Jesus was Risen to Give you! Do you want to be made well? what did Jesus say to the man who wanted to be made well?
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
And, Always Remember 2 Things! No, Today, God gave me 3 things:
1. When you receive this, you will never be the same!
2. God for us. God with us. God in us.
3. Always Remember to come to Jesus, Before you go head on.
How do you find out How much God loves you? How do you get from Point A to Point B?
TEACHING STEP BY STEP
HOW DO YOU GET FROM POINT A TO POINT B?
BEING BORN AGAIN.
Point A *Must Repent
Point B *Beginning of Being Born Again.
STEP 1: BEING BORN AGAIN.
1ST STEP: REPENT.
Repent is a beautiful word! It means letting go of condemnation & turning to walk with God In Jesus Name.
*We can’t get to where God is taking us if we wont’ let go of what is in one hand to follow Jesus with both hands ready to receive the life and blessings that are found in our relationship with God the Father through and by Jesus, the Son of God: Jesus truly is the Christ, the Son of the Living God! This is my Testimony, but by me telling you what Jesus does for me, this gives God permission to do it again in your life!
CAN I SAY GIVE GOD PERMISSION?
Can I say give God permission? Sure! As a parent is waiting on a child to believe enought to obey … to come into a trusting obedience: yes, this response to God in Believing in Whom God is activates our believing Faith for God to do it again! God is waiting on us to move from point A to point B!
1st Step to Being Born Again, Repent! For the Kingdom of God is near to you! Lord, I receive this! I will never be the same! The Kingdom of God is NOW! Repent and Be Born Again to LIVE and Be set FREE from the law of sin and death (Pride and Selfish Ambition).
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)
