Who is this Jesus that we honor at Christmastime, even the world decorates for Him.

Isaiah 9:6-7

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given;

And the government will be upon His shoulder, And His name will be called Wonderful counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of peace.

Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end. Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom. To order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever more.  The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.


Beloved, according to Gods word, Jesus is far more than our finite mind can conceive.

He is the great IAM, He is Alpha and Omega, the lamb of God, 

He's our good Shepherd, He's the way the truth and the life. He is the anointed One, The bread of life. He is the Word of God.  He is the king of Kings and Lord of Lords, He is our Savior, He is Immanuel, God with us!

Colossians 1:16

For in him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on the earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, ALL things were created through Him and for Him.

Colossians 2:9

For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

Praise God that our Lord came to this earth to redeem us and save our soul.  Honor Jesus Christ with all your heart.  He certainly has blessed you with the very breath in your body.


Beloved, let the unsaved world know who you belong to.  The Holy Spirit will back you up.

When I meet someone who is a stranger to me, if they start talking to me, I tell them that I prayed for them this morning.  I ask Jesus to hand pick the person He wants me to share with. You are that person. 

It will open the door to share Jesus.

While people are shopping for gifts, you can share that God has already given us the greatest gift in Jesus.  

It's an open door to share your faith and lift up Jesus for who He is.

If you are around decorations in a store, you can share.

We light up our homes with candles, this reminds us Jesus is the light of the world. 

John 8:12.

Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, I am the light of the world.  He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.

We have Christmas trees that are are symbol of the fact that Jesus was crucified on a tree. We bring the tree in and decorate it as a sign of resurrection life.

John 11:25

Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection and the life, He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.  And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die.  Do you believe this?

The wreaths we decorate with speaks of eternal life.

John 10:28

And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.

The bows we decorate with are a reminder of Gods great gift of new life for us in Christ Jesus our Lord.  

Not only did we receive the gift of life, but God gave us gifts to be used to bring glory to Him.


Beloved, enjoy your celebration of Christmas, and be full of joy, and peace and singing to the Lord.

Fill your atmosphere with the glory of God. Invite the Lords presence in all you do.

 Enjoy your celebration of our Lord coming to us.

Have a blessed Christmas celebration!!

God bless your day

Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus

Really good, Joy. And so practical. You provide simple examples of how we can take things that we experience every day and turn them into opportunities to share Jesus. Rusty

This is a powerful word, Joy! This has given me a new perspective - my Christmas tree represents the tree that our Savior was crucified on. That is so powerful; thank you!

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

SCIENCE AND THE BIBLE.

Science proves that God's word has it right for sustaining our life. Science says, that we need   four basic elements to sustain life and survive. We need air, water, food, and light. We have it all in Jesus, if we have received Him as our Lord. Science is right. It has proven God's word is true. Acts 17:25 (Paul was speaking about the Unknown God to the men in Athens) Nor is He worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed anything, Since He gives to all life, breath, and all things. We need air in order to breathe. When we receive Jesus we have His breath, breathing through our lungs. When we breathe, we speak the name of God. Just speaking His name, we inhale YAH and exhale WEH.   YHWH means breath of life. Our Jewish brothers and sisters know the name of God means breath of God. This is an interesting fact that we believers need to know. We also need light. John 8:12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, "I am the light of the world; He who follows Me shall not walk...

JESUS IS NOT A GLORIFIED BUTLER, HE IS THE SON OF GOD.

SOME BELIEVERS THINK THAT JESUS IS A GLORIFIED BUTLER.  Whatever they ask for they will have, whether it is right or wrong. JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD!!  YOU ARE NOT TO COMMAND HIM,  YOU ARE TO ASK HIM, HONOR HIM, AND RESPECT HIM AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.  I have heard some believers young in their faith and understanding, say that they have prayed for such a thing and God will give it to them. They are trusting in their faith, not their faith in God. (Works of the flesh, which is witchcraft) Witchcraft is attempting to manipulate your environment or circumstances. (SELF) Works of the flesh. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. (1Samuel 15:23) Galatians 5;19-20 NOW THE WORKS OF THE FLESH ARE EVIDENT, WHICH ARE: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions , jealousies, outburst of wrath , selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, and revelries, ...
