Good Morning Friends,

As I awaited an uncontrolled Reboot of my computer right in the middle of this post, I had time to wait.  I had time to think.  I had time to trust God in this, as well as all things, and I am here Today writing to you to encourage you in the Lord; that in the Lord, we can trust God in all things!

What is life?

What is death?

What is a blessing?

What is a curse?

What is the cause?

What is the Remedy – God. The answer is Jesus!

Doesn’t that just about sum it all up? Set before us are life and death and blessings and curses and God says, choose life and choose blessings!

Yet, have you ever thought to your self, at times such as these, “What is this life all about?  We love to let go?  But friend, Jesus says, life is not over, sin is!

Whatever it is that you are facing today, face it with Jesus!

Whatever it is that you are facing today, This too shall pass, but what is important is that you know and believe in the love God has for you.  The Father understands doubts, but we also depend on Jesus for those too.  Lord, help us in our unbelief.

I hope you enjoy the devotion Today as a message to you, as from the Lord I pray.  The mere idea of what God is doing makes my heart leap with joy in Jesus, who loved us so much; He did all this for us to believe!  Now, we believe!  Now, we trust!  Then, we shall see face to face!

Friends, the vision I am getting from the Lord is so magnificent, you don’t want to miss out!  The Lord is pressing on my heart to say to you, that you are extraordinary and there is more to come!

If you are reading this, you are called come to know and believe in the love God has for you & to be an “over comer” in Christ Jesus!  You are called to believe!  What next?  Believe!  If you doubt?  Call on Jesus & ask Him to help you in your unbelief!  Seriously!  God has it all covered!  What is in your way, but self?

Then He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones come to life?” “O Lord GOD,” I replied, “only You know.” 4And He said to me, “Prophesy concerning these bones and tell them: ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5This is what the Lord GOD says to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you will come to life.…

Ezekiel 37:3, 4, 5

Discover God is Extraordinary and LIFE; and you can trust in Jesus in all things,  Jesus said, …“Let not your heart be troubled:

ye believe in God,

believe also in me.”

John 14:1 KJV

Why You Must Die To Self, By Karen Rowe

An hour or so before I got up, I kept hearing the Lord speak, tell them why you must die to self. Tell them because they are made to be extraordinary; and the devil wants to stop them.

THERE IS POWER TO WHAT WE BELIEVE!

Jesus said, take yours out, because someone is going thru something; tell them to ask me to help them. I can skip my story, but I do have the Lord’s permission to tell you, Jesus literally helps me!

With the Lord’s guidance, it happened. In my self, I began to doubt & called both Daniel & Rob for back up, but with the Lord’s help, ALIGNMENT was revealed, as Rob pulled in the driveway! Praise the Lord, for Jesus is my Rock & my Salvation!

What foundation does God recommend?
What is God building for you?

Lord Jesus when we receive this~

You see, we have privileges that being in a relationship with God that we can call upon the Lord for anything & at any time!

Today(s), I ask Jesus to help me – before I start the day, and thru the day; all day I notice His help.

But a serious question … where do you want to spend eternity? There is a new earth a coming! And God knows what He is doing!

Think of the pillar of fire by night – my thoughts as the moon was brilliant last night & placed in the center of the yellow lines on our way home last night.

The Lord Jesus GOES BEFORE us, and gives peace WITH & IN us…in the same place we can sense “uneasy.”

God is training us to hear Jesus Voice & trust to follow God’s Way (OF whom God Is) more than the sun and moon can light up the sky for us to see!

See?
Die to self? See, the death of Jesus put sin UNDER the water! Leave that self there. Rise again to the new life in Christ & walk with Him all the way !

Today is…. But friends (TIME is of the Vapor) that is passing, but eternal is coming soon to reveal the new Heaven & NEW earth.

If the heavens are this extraordinary NOW, like pictured, what might the new earth be like without the devil?

 

The never-ending promise?
On our way…

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength:
Isaiah 26:3‭-‬4 KJV

 

… JESUS DEEPLY LOVES YOU!

Holy Spirit encourage the readers today.  Lift our minds higher to God’s Thoughts.  Bless those who will receive.  And, keep molding our hearts to be always ready to bloom for the glory of God to be a blessing to us all.

and pray …in the Spirit of the Most Holy God.  God knows what He is doing.

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.
