The Great Exchange

 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.' 2 Corinthians 5:21 (NLT)


 And today is such a great day! Christmas Day! The best day of gift giving. The day that we Love! The Spirit is upon us!  And then there is tomorrow. The day that we hate. The day of long lines and the not so great day that gift exchanges begin. The day we exchange the not quite so perfect gift for something else.

If you got something that doesn't fit, and you don't get the spiritual connection to this most natural of occurrences, then, please don't miss this. No one is perfect except the Perfect One. His name is Jesus. Know that Jesus was born for a reason. He is the reason for this season. He fits perfectly. This season of giving is tied to the fact that God is the best gift giver ever. He gave us His very own Son.

Isaiah declares that the Government will be on His shoulders!  God knows us all so well and He knew just what we needed. So, He fixed the Fall and exchanged the punishment that we all deserve because of our sin with The Perfect One that was Greater and who never sinned. Our sins fell upon Him and He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Almighty Father, Prince of Peace. His name is Jesus. Thank You Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.

The Day of the Lord Approaches

Image
' not forgetting to gather as a community, as some have forgotten, but encouraging each other, especially as the day of His return approaches.' Hebrews 10:25 (VOICE) Days of future trials are coming and yet are here. Last days. The day of His return approaches. No one knows the hour. So we are told to be even more diligent in our calling. We should be always watching, praying and bringing a word of encouragement to one another through the power of God. For what signs and wonders happen in the House of the Lord! Oh so amazing. The Miraculous. God provides the Fire. The battle is the Lords. We are told not to fret but only to enjoy the ride as we thank Him. So as I pray I want to thank you Lord. I am totally devoted to You. Equip me to preach the gospel. Now is the time and I will not forget my mission. As I arise I will not forget to put on my Full Armor of God. I will cling to your Bible. I am committed to carry it with me. I will hold it up as a sword in the town ...

The Look

Image
' Looking straight into their eyes, Jesus replied, “Humanly speaking, no one, because no one can save himself . But what seems impossible to you is never impossible to God!”' Matthew 19:26 (TPT) So if the poor deal with envy and the rich with pride, who then can get in? Who can be saved? None, except through the grace of God. Only God can save us. Only God can change the hearts and minds of men. Nothing is impossible to Him.  Dear Father Thank you for loving us and sending us Your Son Jesus our Savior even while we were yet sinners. When we were sinners You pursued us and turned our hearts toward You.  With just one look You could see into our souls. You knew what we needed. You did what needed to be done. You did the thing that seemed impossible to man. You perfected a Way for us to be reconciled to You and even with our sinful natures. You made converts out of us. It's nothing we could have done on our own without You. We could never doubt You. You cleaned us ...

A Warrant to Believe

Image
' By “the Lord” what I mean is the Spirit, and in any heart where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is liberty.' 2 Corinthians 3:17 (VOICE ) Holy Spirit thou art welcome in this place. For wherever the Spirit is there is Life and Liberty. The Spirit brings with it freedom. Joy. Believers, we are blessed. God is gracious. Through the Cross, He has given us a way to be free from the law of sin and death. The veil between us and God has been lifted. The Holy Spirit brings the Light of Christ which illuminates and frees us from former blindness and darkness. The Spirit brings regeneration and sanctification as we are changed and made more like Christ everyday. We are free to walk in the ways of the Lord. Oh how we need thee this very hour Holy Spirit. Issue to us a warrant not as in the world and its laws, but of the gospel to believe. We do believe in You. Thank You Lord! Dear Father We repent to You this day, that we have failed to seek more of You. You kno...
