Jesus, What Does Christmas Mean to You?

-

 "You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me"--[John 5:39] Jesus, what does Christmas mean to You?  Why would anyone make up a story like that?  Why is it so inconceivable?  All the supernatural things we see and are fascinated by on TV we open our mouth wide in awe; and yet, nobody's willing to listen to the story of our Savior, our God becoming man who came to earth and put on the same flesh we wear, so that He can free us from sin.  These days we don't have a concept of sin or evil, other than people murdering other people or children shooting each other.  To us it's just killing and killing isn't right, especially when it happens to us or to those we love.  

i am healed in the name of Jesus Christ because His stripes healed me.  God's indescribable gift, Jesus Christ, heals me; more so than any pharmaceutical prescribed by the best cardiologist in the world.  i


know who my Cardiologist is!  In the name of Jesus Christ, strengthen my heart muscle so that i can carry out the duties You are about to assign me!  Amen

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. --[John 1:14]

Folks are cruel and unkind, no matter what time of the year it is.  i don't even need to regard or put any weight of value on the commercialization.  The space between my ears is filled with the glory of the Trinity, which travels right down to my heart.  From fantasies of idolatry i've transformed to imaginings such as being Jesus' stepfather, Joseph, who couldn't get the room at the inn.  Lord knows, i've been evicted, kicked to the curb, rejected; yet what would it be like to have been all those things being Joseph, or one of His disciples?  To be evicted for Jesus today would be a privilege and an honor.  i've stayed at a homeless shelter for two weeks in my life, even carried my Bible around with me while there, and i have no doubt Jesus had his eye on his misplaced, displaced sheep.

They Do Evil Before Your Eyes

Abba Father, may i be slow to speak against and curse at those who proclaim to be Christians who are only lending lip service.  Those who bear no fruit who perform fake actions and provide no service to You.  May You always reform me by removing the constant flow of impurities that i may put into my heart and brain.  i have no excuses. i only have responsibilities.  Refine and make me stronger in Jesus' name.  Amen "He who kills a bull is as if he slays a man, He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he breaks a dog's neck; He who offers a grain offering, as if he offers swine's blood; He who burns incense, as if he blesses an idol.  Just as they have chosen their own ways, And their soul delights in their abominations, So I will choose their delusions, And bring their fears on them; Because when I called, no one answered, When I spoke they did not hear; But they did evil before My eyes, And chose that in which I do not delight."  -[Isaiah 66: 3-4] Use me, Abba...

 If they're gonna spy...stare...glare...sneer...spit at me, i'll give 'em something to spy...stare...glare...sneer...and spit at... Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it.  This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. - [Ezekiel 1:28] As long as i hear what You are saying, Lord...that's all that matters.  I shall not murder, nor be afraid for my body should anyone consider murdering me, either randomly or premeditated; I have no fear of death because all but one of Your disciples were executed for Your name.  i shall lay down my life for another just as Jesus Christ had laid down His life for me.  Repentance is a wonderful gift You've granted me, and i humbly accept.  May i know and always be aware of Your Truth.  Repentance isn't a self-help tool.  It's a humble response to a good and holy God.   i am listening for whatever You deci...

Who Needs That?!

If i can stop smoking and looking into porn--that was a tough one and Satan still keeps me thinking about it--then i can get others to follow Jesus because Jesus is the key.  If i can be saved, help me save others in Jesus' name.  Amen  Abba Father, keep me humble, make me always aware that even my good deeds are worthless.  It doesn't matter.  The blood of Jesus is my only way into heaven.  Keep me on the narrow path and bless me with blessing others by getting on the narrow path as well.  Bless and preserve and protect the likes of John MacArthur and Jonathan Kahn who seem to my human, mortal mind to be the ones to pay attention to.  i pray for the gay--that they will repent as i have--and i'm still working on it--repentance is a process.  Only by Your grace was i able to begin to change, Dear Lord.  Help me to clarify and strengthen my testimony, focusing on Your doing and may others not confuse me for some "special" person who has so...
