THINGS THAT WE DECORATE WITH AT CHRISTMAS, HOLD GREAT MEANING.

 THE TREE

Did you know that the evergreen tree speaks of new life? Life for us is that Jesus was crucified on a tree.

John 11:25-26

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

1Peter 2:24

Who Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, that we having died to sins, might live for righteousness, by whose strips we were healed.

LIGHTS

The lights that we light up our home with, remind us that Jesus is the light of the world.

John 8:12

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

CANDLES

Candles with their sweet fragrance, reminds us of our Lords sacrifice was a sweet aroma to God.

Ephesians 5:1-2

Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. Walk in love, as Christ also loved us and  given himself for us, an offering and sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling aroma.

WREATHS

The wreath reminds us of the eternal circle of life. It is unending because we have eternal life in Jesus.

John 10:28

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

BOWS

The bows remind us of the gift that God has given to us in Jesus Christ our Lord.

CANDY CANES

The true candy canes that are red, white with three stripes, this reminds us of our triune God. The Father, the Son and th Holy Spirit.

The original candy canes were made with three stripes and one large red one. 

They were made to look like a shepherds hook. White for purity and red for the blood of Jesus, when you turn them over, you can see the letter J for Jesus.

BELLS

Bells are attention getters, they were used on the bottom of the priest garments in the Old Testament.

Exodus 28:33-34

And upon its hem you shall make a pomegranate and a blue, purple, and scarlet, all around its hem, bells of gold between them around.; 

a golden bell and a pomegranate  upon the hem of the robe all around.

POINSTTIA,

There is a legend of a poor Mexican girl who wanted to bring to the church a gift for baby Jesus and all she had picked were weeds. But when she presented the weeds, they turned into  beautiful red flowers.

The poinsettia is a picture of Gods miracles. Jesus is the perfect gift to you this Christmas season.

So decorate all you want to, it speaks of our Savior and Lord as we celebrate His birth.

God Bless your Christmas

Jesus loves you

THE NEW CHRISTIANTY IS A MIXTURE OF OTHER RELIGIONS FROM OTHER GOVENMENTS.

  We all get excited to see new babes born into God's kingdom.  They are coming in by the millions all over the world. Praise God!! We pray that they will be taught the Bible, be discipled and shown the love of God. They cannot know the fullness of God without reading His word and getting to know Jesus. There is a new Christianity being formed. One without repentance, or accountability, to other believers, full of self, and not dying daily to self. It's full of entertainment, flashing colored lights, all about SELF, ( SERVING EMOTIONS AND LOVING FAVOR) just like the world. Matthew 18:3-4 And He said " Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. "Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Humility is lacking in so many, pride is event in their words and actions in some of the big ministries. I had a beloved brother in Christ...

WHEN INDIFFERENCE ENDS, THAT IS WHEN LOVE BEGINS.

  Don't look for love to come to you, instead, look  where you can give it. Galatians 5:13 For you brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. If you have been buried with Christ in baptism and raised in new life, then stop looking at the old you. Give the love that you always wanted to experience before you met Jesus. That unconditional love. If you noticed while reading the gospels that Jesus went out of His way to show the Fathers love, to provide what real love looks like. Sinners flocked to hear the good news of the gospel. They felt the love. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Beloved, we are to do the same for sinners we know, who have not received Jesus yet. We only receive real love from God when we realize that real love is missing from our life. Conditional love says, I will love you if you please me. G...

ARE WE USING THE AUTHORITY AND WEAPONS, JESUS HAS GIVEN TO US?

Beloved, sometimes we allow things to enter our life, that we need to use our spiritual authority and our weapons on to get free to do the works of the Lord. John 14:12-13 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. "And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that My Father may be glorified in the Son. When we are attacked,  We must start using the authority and the weapons that we have in the Lord. The enemy will try and trespass in our life if we become complacent, lazy, and neglect our faith. There are times when we are self satisfied and not on our guard, we become slothful. Pride can be behind those attitudes. 1Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant, because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking who he may devour, Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world...
