After the Second Day, By Karen Rowe

Dear Readers,

God really cares for you!

As the evening of this day comes to an end, I find myself reflecting on that Second Day!  The only day in history, where perhaps no one had hope.  Everyone saw JESUS die!  But, coming in to the 3rd day, we already know more than they did at that time!  Jesus is Alive!  I am more reflecting on the LIFE that still breathes the Holy Spirit in us still 2000 years later; and beyond!

Yes, this message is for you!  Do you know how much God loves you?  Step one, I hope this helps you believe!  Read & Pray over, John 3:16 & 17!

Do you know how to survive in this world after the miracle?  Step two, Memorize and apply daily, 1 John 4:16!

it takes both movement & sunshine

Every time I see Clear water dancing on top of muddy, or like this on this green water today; WATER simply amazes me! It’s ability to clean is radially wonderful in all aspects!

I studied the water just now, and noticed that it takes both movement & sunshine to see the diamond sparkle!

Yet, right up on it, all you see is green algae! This reminded me of how sometimes we see our life in difficult situations … or at this time when we celebrate & respect the Resurrection.  How do we see our life compared to the Purity of Jesus and the perfections of God!

Right up against just looking at our own reflection, our imperfections are kinda like the water is looking down with the algae, but it’s when we can step back & look with our focused view to see the LIGHT of GOD, who IS FOR & WITH us, that we can see Christ IN us.

The Light of God’s Son & the Movement of the Holy Spirit!

The Holy Spirit is the MOVEMENT & the BLOOD of JESUS is the POWER. Jesus is the LIGHT who overcome the sting of spiritual death and the power of the darkness.

Greater is He who lives in us, than he that is in the world.

I hope this is a blessing to you to Rejoice and tell someone how glad you are of what Jesus has done for you.

I thank God, even thou I am weak alone, HE is the STRENGTH in me! And by grace, I may not be all I will become one day yet, but I am not who I used to be; and growing every day. Isn’t that something to celebrate; Because HE LIVES ! We believe!

Change takes a process & like we prepare this pool to enjoy for summer, there are a process of steps we go thru too to be TRANSFORMED in to the image of Christ.

Aren’t you glad that God loves us so! Aren’t you glad we have such a living and POWERFUL hope!

I hope this a blessing to you!

Happy Easter!

What happened on the 2nd day? The day after Jesus was killed & the day before the Resurrection?

The Bible says Jesus went below to witness to those who died before! What a whole God we serve! What love!

Yesterday, I saw a young girl really suffering (she loves Jesus) & Satan was playing his cards (rush & fear). As I watched her stuggle to the point of tears Holy Spirit helped!

What makes adversity so hard? Do we cause it; or Satan? The Bible says that NO temptation can come TO us that is not a DESIRE of our heart. The Bible also says, let no man say he is tempted by God, because of whom God is ~ LOVE (emphasis mine).

Friends, as we remember this day BEFORE Jesus was Resurrected, also remember to TRUST GOD when God may be saying to you REST & WAIT till Monday!

Jesus says, My people are perishing for a lack of knowledge. The Holy Spirit is our greatest Teacher.

I am writing to you today to encourage you, that This Too Shall Pass & God is not mad at you. God is NOT punishing you because you don’t know! God wants you to learn how to survive in this world thru Jesus!

God loves you SO Much & He wants to be a part of your life 100%!

This message is a LIGHT in the darkness FOR you to HELP you always KNOW HOW to identify Satan’s crafty moves against you: When Frustration, comes AT you ~ KNOW Satan has heard YOU sAy that you NEED it NOW = Rush will be his tool. However, your POWER IS in the LIVING Resurrection!… in the day after WITH the Risen SON!

Shove the chair back! Leave the room! What ever it takes to CHANGE the position of your heart! Channel your mind to needing God Foremost & Never the less, Father God, YOUR will be done!

Friends, there us NO urgency to SEE that God has met our every need through Christ Jesus! Faith moves to work good work & Rest in our faith is a tremendous authority over Satan’s power…when we have done all that we know to do & we can’t move past.

Remember God’s time is always the right time! Be Patient to TRUST GOD … for in the morning, the day God calls Today, you will see the Glory of the Lord who goes BEFORE you!

The strategy of Satan: To Rush you & then whisper fear, BUT GOD SAYS … 

 

TILL NEXT TIME!

Till next time!  “Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

The address in the Bible is found in 2 Corinthians 1:2, and this is the NIV today.

 

LOVE IN CHRIST,

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.
