The Seed is Christ ... The Mind of God. The Word of God is Written! Be transformed / Not conformed! What is the difference? Christ! Jesus is the Truth, the Way and the Life! Father, draw them by your Spirit! Open hearts to understand and draw many to believe by your Spirit Lord! By your Spirit!

Titled several times!

Dewey thank you!   It is good to say thank you!

Good morning, afternoon, evening or night to everyone, whatever time it might be, that the Lord brings you here Today, and ready to hear this message that is written especially for you, and me, and whosoever might believe!

Welcome!  God loves you so much to have this on my mind so intensely!

I woke up this morning with my mind on Jesus!

I went to bed last night listening for Jesus!

Yesterday, I shared by faith here at FGGAM what I believe Jesus told me to do!

Friends, it was not good to my flesh.  I put off me on every level, and I wrote that for me too; knowing that there would be a test after my joy to write to you, because it was written for the Lord.   This is not my work, but the Lord’s work through me!  I have a lot to say, but I prayed for the Lord to help me keep this in His Structure!  So, after going to bed needing a word from just Jesus, no other voice would do last night, I told him I will wait on you!   I woke up this morning listening to my Bible read and this is what I heard!

I just had the greatest revelation & about leaped out of bed to want to write it for FGGAM! The seed is in us!!!! Read James 1! The flesh must fall off…. Die to self! But that seed that is in us is Christ!   There is life inside that seed!

Do your best to stick with me in this!

There is so much more, but this is the method God have me today!  There is something here for everyone!   Including, by not limited to me, so I share, because, Jesus said to!

Count it all joy when you fall in diverse temptations!!!  As iron sharpens iron … we need each other (as God gives each of us certain pieces of His Wisdom) to help us grow together and to see the whole picture – … you know, sometimes, a friend in Christ helps you see more of the puzzle, because God gave them those pieces?   And this too!  Sometimes, iron sharpens iron by grating against us to see the wrong in someone who hurts us, so that God can help us see the thing in our own heart that needs to heal …

So that we don’t get stuck but continue Believing; and keep growing in our enduring faithTo Deliverance (The Transformation) in Christ Jesus, Our Savoir, Lord, King Jesus, and Friend!!!!

Patience produces….

The seed is in us to grow in Christ and to be transformed into a greater image than self!

That seed is Christ!  And Christ is LOVE!

He fills us with the love God has for us; and    to    have    love    to give!

ya   have to    have    love to give love

  ya  have to    have    trust to give trust

                     ya  have to    have    forgiveness to give forgiveness

                   ya have to   have   patience to give patience . . .

It’s against the human grain to give (what we don’t have to give) & it is not easy or possible alone!  But with Christ, if we don’t give up too soon …

Hang in there with me!  This is really good!  The more we receive from God, the more we receive from God!  I am honestly being honest with you, God is an endless supply of MORE!

Example:   Have you ever been treated bad, but what was it that was REALLY going on with your soul?  I am not talking about abuse … That’s a tender subject, but this is still a message on the otherside of that healing too.

When someone is mean with their words to you, what was it that really had control over you?  Was it God?  or the enemy to your own soul?    God uses love to overcome the enemy for our benefit (deliverance into the sweet peace of Jesus) and for their deliverance too!   Christ in us is the love of God who does set the captives free!

 

Freedom from the control of torment!  Pause to think on this …

Freedom in Christ to love those who hate you; and keep your Peace! Ex 14:14

I have been a captive to my anger at times (in my knowledge of right and wrong – the fall) (and the flesh that needs to fall off to grow), … as we grow in the Lord (we are not stuck / we are growing)!      Remember the life is inside the seed is the Word of God & Christ, the Spirit of Truth will guide us into all Truth; and shew us things to come!

“Die to self” sounds bad, and feels bad, but it is a transformation process that is like the shell falls off the life inside the seed so that the life inside can really begin to grow in Christ (this life Jesus wants us to receive in His Name)!  The life that we need to encourage our self to be strong in Christ (not in self) and produce good fruit (spiritual life giving fruit for others) and bloom for Christ that the world can see God through Christ in us!

I am trying my best to get this out

Editing always ends up writing more

I apprecate your patience with me

This life with God in Christ with Jesus is great!  There is no other thing in this world to compare a life with God in Christ Jesus to!!!!   The joy is almost unspeakable!

 

This is where Peace is found!  Doing what Jesus tells us the Fathers says!  Praying like Jesus tells us to pray; and letting Christ in us guide us into all truth!  Jesus is the truth! There is no other truth, but Jesus, the Christ, the Son of the Living God!

God is a God of the Living / not the dead!  Faith without works is dead.  It is impossible to please God without faith!   Faith pleases God!  And you will know it by the Peace and joy that fills your soul!     Faith doing what Jesus says will bring you this spiritual new = life inside your soul!!!

 

faith doing what Jesus says

will bring you new life inside your soul!!!

Knowledge of God is good and personal (self-knowledge) must fall off for the life inside to burst out to grow (in our relationship with each other in the Kingdom of God, where Jesus is King Jesus).  And Jesus is King!  This world has a battle of fake authority …We decide to follow Jesus and …

 

It’s in Christ’s Deliverance into the Truth (all truth) that sets us free.

In our anger we do not sin … what does that even mean?   Christ!  Take every thought captive to the obediance of Christ!

SEE?

Lord, help me get this out of me in a way that is clear and understood to be a help to another as you have helped me in so much!!!   

Jesus teaches us how to be a spiritual person set free in Christ even while in this body!

Yes, like a caterpillar is transformed into a butterfly, it is a miracle of life!  But the catipillar began as an egg of the butterfly!   Life begins with God!!!  Christ in us is our transformation guide to overcome the process of dying to self to become like the spiritual image of God, which is LOVE!   God gives love, because God is love; and so are we to be in Christ Jesus too!

 

Like a plant grows, We rise in Christ a bit more every time we surrender to do the will of God when it is hard to our flesh!!!  Because it works!   Jesus is real and Christ is a help to our soul:  Our mind, our emotions and our will; and we choose by faith to honor what Christ is guiding us into … Truth!   And we shall know the truth and the truth shall set us free!

Ask God what you want.  I did!  And the truth sets me free! Every time!    Sometimes we don’t even know what we want, we might think we want this or that, but God’s thoughts for us are so much higher than ours!

 

We see limited, but God is unlimited!   Life is about His Love for us and the peace with God filling our everlasting souls!

 

 

We see limited, but God is unlimited!   Life is about His Love for us and the peace with God filling our everlasting souls!

The seed!!! The life is in the seed! That seed is in us! We have to let it grow!!!!!

The choice is to:   We let Christ have his way; or will we want to remain in that shell?!!

Remember Christ is the Mind of God!

We die to self every time we choose to believe Jesus tells us truth and respond by faith!!!! It may not look like God is growing in us; But every time we are delivered from our selfish ways and spiritually love our enemy (in Christ) beyond our flesh & do good (in Christ) to those who despitefully use us & persecute us … and you know, or even we deal with people (In Christ) who hate Christ in us … !!!   . . .

Pause right there and reflect on the call of God on your life to love others like Jesus 1st loved you!

Pause right there and reflect on the call of God on your life to love others like Jesus 1st loved you!   This a place of Deliverance!   I didn’t even know what to call that wonderful feeling last year when I 1st received this freedom in my soul to love those who hurt me, but I learned the word is D E L I V E R A N C E!    Oh!  My Lord, this is good!!!!

 

I have learned the word is D E L I V E R A N C E! 

God is love

Love in Christ

IS

Undeserved kindness & Generosity

toward us!

Every time we do God’s Will and love them (Them:  each other, the world, the lost, the blind, the deaf, the hard-heart in denial, who has not come to know and understand YET the love God has for them & come to Jesus to love our self … In Christ Jesus), Christ’s delivers us to love them (and our self) with and by Christ living in us…  The power of God in us who believe and receive the powerful love God has for us to save our soul!

 

Oh wow!

This is good Lord!

Do you love your

SELF

(In Christ)

yet?

 

We die a little (to self) (to our flesh) (the shell that houses the seed) (the flesh that doesn’t feel it, think it, or want to – we die to self to gain more in Christ Jesus)!

The Transformation process of Salvation working within our own soul!

we die to self to gain more in Christ Jesus!

The Transformation process

of Salvation

working

within our own soul!

 

We get to decide to follow Jesus!

Thank you, Jesus, for the insight in the mystery of the Glory of God in the Kingdom of God!

Our will or God’s will.   death or LIFE.  Anxiety or PEACE?

If you know Him, Let us choose to obey the Mind of Christ and be patient a little longer!

If you know Him, let us choose to obey the Mind of Christ and be patient a little longer!   Let us choose our words to be kind (and strong if need be) but silent in our prayer before we respond *in truth, in love and in Spirit!   Respond in Christ!!!  NOT in self!

If you don’t know Him,

Ask the Father to show you Jesus!

…and belielve

Jesus may show up in the undeserved kindness and generosity of another person …

EVERY time we respond by faith in the glory of our knowledge of God and of His Son, Jesus, and in Christ, FAITH in Christ, Glory hallelujah, we burst out of our shell (of self-centered flesh) and into that seed of God’s Living Word, to grow stronger in Christ!!!  And, For God’s Glory Alone!

Well like this… let’s watch a flower burst out of a seed and pop out of the ground & grow into a plant and then finally bloom!!

Let’s be an eternal / not an annual, but still the life is in the seed!!!

one can chase a 1000, two can put 10,000 to flight

That seed is Christ in us!

Let means we have a choice:   Let’s let Christ in us build the kingdom for the glory of God’s Glory to be known and seen by the world!

 

Father, May many come to know and believe Jesus through our word in Christ in you!!!

Read:   James 1 & another John 16 & John 17 (Jesus prays for us…and for those who will believe through our word)  wow!  Read it all and receive it deep in your soul to grow in Christ!

It is Written

And found written in John 16:12-14

JESUS SAID,

12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

13   Howbeit when he,    the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 

14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

 

Glory be to God!

In closing, the thing that ties all this together is Christ in us renewing our mind daily and for as long as God calls it Today!

Let’s open our minds to read our gift of God’s Word!  Let’s open our heart to absorb all the nutrition we need to grow in Christ and to go beyond being just conformed to this world to experience being transformed by the renewing of our mind with the thoughts of God!

The Mind of Christ emerges when we renew our thoughts to be set on things of God and on God’s Mind and be ye transformed to be set apart (set apart means holy) & different from this world, because Jesus saves our soul and because He asked the Father, we have Christ inside our soul when we 1st believe and receive the word of God in Jesus Name!

 

The seed of God is Christ in us!

Did you know that

caterpillars

are

butterfly eggs?

The butterfly lays the eggs, and the metamorphic transformation is a picture of our mind being transformed in Christ!   You are going to have some trials to go through, like an egg hatches to a larva, a soul must be hatched in Christ (born-again) believing on our Lord Jesus, our Savior!

A caterpillar eats and eats and eats, until it is strong to go into the next stage of its transformation!  We must be consuming the Word of God as we go through these troubles to know the Mind of God, surrender to the Mind of God and overcome all these hard things by the power of Christ, whom is God’s comforting Spirit and protecting guide who is guiding us into all truth and by the Truth, we shall be set free!

The Truth is Jesus!  All of him!  All Truth!

 

surrender

your  soulish

thoughts and feelings and will

to the Mind of God and

overcome all these hard things

by the power of Christ

It must feel just terrible to give up a life of eating and eating and eating and having a pretty good life to spin out of your own skin and turn into goo and spin yourself into a cocoon for a period of time! 

But as the caterpillar does, so must a believer grow on to BEYOND what we know (the knowledge of good and of evil), and into whom we know to become all we are meant & created to be!    With Christ, Jesus come into a body form to be transformed into our King Jesus; and he teaches us the power of Christ in us to “be ye holy because God is holy” Christ guides us into all truth and Jesus is the way!

 

 

What is it about the blood of Jesus!

The blood to our flesh keeps our body alive!

 

 

Believing The blood of Jesus to our soul gives us Life Eternal!

 

And Jesus teaches us in John 17:3, “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”

You see, why would we want to go through life being a caterpillar larva eating and eating and eating conformed to this world, when God wants us to know that through Jesus, we have faith with the power in Christ to emerge from our suffering as a butterfly!

Christian Living
Romans 12:1-3
1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 
2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. 

 

Romans 12:2 Is the verse of truth I will leave you with that has the power to bring you great and true and living peace and joy that God has made for you and me and for whosoever might believe!

Let’s be the Light when we know we have the light!  Let’s give trust, because we have trust!  Not in trust in man, but trust in our God who makes us become more than we might want to be at the time!

We give love, because we have love and love is this!  To give undeserved kindness and generosity … not our opinion of what we think that the person should do (right or wrong)

Do we want people to be like US?

Isn’t that a form of control?

Or …

do we want to be more like Jesus?

Let’s Let people see the Jesus we talk about and love!

It’s Christ who guides us into all truth and it is the truth in Christ, (Jesus) whom shall set us free!

Let’s    act

(In Christ)

in the Revelation,

After,  we get the revealation:  that

Jesus is the Christ,  the Son of the Living God!

It’s Jesus!  He is the Way, the Truth and the Life, and none come to the Father unless the Spirit of Christ draws them …. Let Christ in you be the God they see!  And let the God in you be the love of the Father’s love that God 1st had from me and you that He sent Jesus to die for us …  And He is Risen!!!  Jesus is our Resurrection!

 

My God is Love!

it’s on a local church sign!

Isn’t that just great?

See…Let self-fall off (the seed must die and fall to the ground, so that many shall raise up)   Jesus is that sacrifice that we have the seed of Christ living in our soul!  Let the Mind of Christ be your by and by.  The mind of self must die, so that you can bloom for Christ and for the glory of God!

For God so loved the world … Re-read John 3:16 & 17!  Read the Whole Chapter!  It’s really good to read again in the spirit of Christ, who will continually set your mind free to love God and to love the world as God has 1st sent Jesus and now Jesus sends us …

I hope this is a blessing to you!

To God be the glory!

Love in Christ,

OUCH?

20    If       a man say,     

I love God,     

and        hateth his brother,     

he is a liar: 

More Reference:

1 John 4:16-20

16And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love

19We love him, because he first loved us. 

     20    If a man say,     I love God,     and hateth his brother,      he is a liar: 

James 1 that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing

Don’t’ let rotten fruit rotten you; be strong and very courageous to let Christ in you shine for God’s Glory to be seen!   This is really good!   Because it really means, greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world …. and and and … Love NEVER fails!   

Don’t stop believing!

 

Consider Daily in every situation …

Consider Daily in every situation … Jesus says do not let your heart be troubled, you believe in God, believe also in me!  Take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ!

Which is able to save your souls

Do you know the One who sets your heart free to live!  He is God!  And Jesus come in a body, so you could see the love God has for you!   Let us be that love for another, when we know and believe – Receive the love of God and be transformed to knowing God as your Father!  He is good!  And God loves you!

 

Don’t deceive your own selves … Be doers of the word … not just hearers

Glory to God!

Glory Halleuluah!

Enter into this place with God with your Praise and Thanksgiving … Let your love be a sacrifice for His love!

 

This is better than you think!

Jesus wants us to know, and see and hear and come to understand! How much do we believe? 100% ?

Try it!

See the power of God working!

The Seed is the word of God – Don’t forget to read what is written to gain God’s Perspective on your thoughts

Exodus 14:14

14The LORD shall fight      for you,      and      ye shall hold your peace.

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.
