The Christmas Story

The Birth of Jesus
In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

The Shepherds and the Angels
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ[a] the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

Merry Christmas

The Heavenly Sanctuary

But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. Hebrews 9:11-15

Today I will rejoice in the fact that Jesus made a way for me. He has removed the separation between God and man.

Today I will rejoice because I have a clean conscience from dead works, I have been made clean and now can serve the living God.

Today I will enter into His new covenant and walk in my inheritance.

Selah

James 1:16-18 NKJ

Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of His creatures.

I just wanted to let you know how special you are. You are a gift from God and very important to the body of Christ. Today rest in who you are, because you are a gift to this world.

In Christ

Never Give Up

Matthew 19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

In this scripture Jesus was referring to the difficulty of a rich man entering the kingdom of God. But He still says all things are possible with Him.

The season that we have entered into is "quietness". The enemy is trying to stop the sound of our voice with discouragement, accusations, past failures. That means he wants you to stop speaking and not proclaiming the word of the Lord. Beloved, do not fall for those condemning words, thoughts, feelings that are attacking you. We are fighting a spiritual battle that we must win.

Paul says it best. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. 2 Corinthians 10:1-6

We can make it through this season with our weapons and authority that Jesus gave us. Please remember; never, never, never quit, never surrender, never give up.

Eye On The Prize

The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. It's our handle on what we can't see. The act of faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd. Hebrews 11:1-2 The Message

As Abraham, by keeping his eye's on an unseen city with real, eternal foundations—the City designed and built by God, so must you keep your eye's on the dream that God placed in your heart. Don't loose your focus as you make the journey. Do not entertain those negative thoughts as the distractions come against you, remain strong on God. Call those things that are not as though they were. Keep your eye on the prize.

As I said yesterday, when you speak God's word, you become the voice of the Lord. Do not let past circumstances, failures, unanswered prayers, keep you from speaking His words. If you do not speak, if your words are not heard, how will they hear the good news?

Stay focused on the prize ahead. Never quit, never surrender, you shall prevail!

Stay strong today!

In Christ

Smoke & Mirrors

2 Peter 2:17-19 (The Message)

There's nothing to these people—they're dried-up fountains, storm-scattered clouds, headed for a black hole in hell. They are loudmouths, full of hot air, but still they're dangerous. Men and women who have recently escaped from a deviant life are most susceptible to their brand of seduction. They promise these newcomers freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption, for if they're addicted to corruption—and they are—they're enslaved.

Do not get entangled with they're deception, they will lead you astray with smoke & mirrors. It will look one way but turn out another. They will boast about all the great things that have been done but they are full of hot air. Do not return to Egypt in your old nature, its to easy. You were delivered from being a slave to sin, you have been set free by the blood of the Lamb of God. Now walk in that fullness, that power that Jesus gave you.

Peace
