Did you ever get invited somewhere and when you arrive you sense you were not really welcome…? You just can not shake off that uncomfortableness of not belonging?
You wonder why did they ask me to come if they do not want my company? When we live by His Spirit, we may be more sensitive to what people are thinking then the unbeliever…..
So, at this time of Christmas celebration, the One who came and there was no real room for Him, was born in a stable…… He was not even invited somewhere, but He was sent….. and there was no room for Him in the inn…..God Almighty sent His only Son…..His Son begotten.
I stand here now, in tears and pray as He has been sent to every person born and takes breath to this world…… He may not be invited, but He is being sent in your home and mine.
Can we receive the Light of the World this time? This Christmas? Is not the word Christ- mas mean celebrating Christ……?
He may not come with money or presents, but His presence is our essence to life…….Everlasting life…..
He may not come with popcorn and treats and cookies, but He is everyone’s Food for life…..His Bread is the Food for everlasting life….When we eat His bread and drink His blood, we then have His everlasting Life.
He may not come with jokes and a beer in His hand, but His blood is our drink if we believe in Him. We will never thirst again….. He loves to overflow His love in His greatness of affection to each one of His kids.
He may not come with the fanciest of cars, but His chariot is His riding on the clouds of heaven and He is surrounded with myriads of angels……
Do we see who He is yet?
He may not come with the feast for the decorated table…… But, yet He is our feast….. Feasting on this King is life and life abundantly…. His meat for us is to do the will of God. His feast sets a table for us in the midst of our enemies. He is the Feast….. He is the best meal we will ever have!
He may not come with the champagne and wine of old…..but, if we believe, He fills our belly with living bubbling water of His Spirit…..
He may not come with the latest gadget or large screen television, but Christ in us will allow us to know all things that are and will be…..
Do we celebrate His birthday and not invite Him?
Or do we invite Him and He is just put up with or ignored?
We never saw Him as a Child, but turning to see His voice and believing in what His Spirit has spoken, Almighty God says, you have been given the right to become the children of God….. and co-heir with the King of all, even though He was not received in any inn or home the night of His birth…… He grew up……
If a president or king or queen came to dinner at Christmas, would we treat them better then the Spirit of the Living God dwelling with us today?
Will we make room for Him today? Can we move some traditions out and allow the One who we celebrate His birthday in to be honored and thanked and most of all loved with all our heart, all our lives?
If we celebrate Him today and make sure He is abiding in us and us in Him….. This year which will be different, we will be aware of His protection, provision and His closeness. His presence will illumine every minute and seconds of our year 2024.
Love God with our all,…..
the first commandment.
Let Him in and give Him His rightful place….. as Lord of our heart and our all.
When we praise Him in our good times, guaranteed His strength will be in us for the bad times….
Come, let us adore Him.
Come, let us adore Him.
Jesus Christ, the great I AM.
He is knocking on the door….Knock, Knock, Knock…..
Can we open the Door today? Will He find the door open or closed….?
Is there room in the inn? Our heart? Our lives?
Selah!
Happy Birthday Jesus Christ!
Praise be to the One who sent You to our hard and cold world. Oops…..This World is Yours, right?
SELAH!
Get ready for a ride of our lives as He takes the hair on our head gently in His hand and plows us through the snow. Behold the fences of barriers are behind us….. Before us, is all the white pure snow of learning of our King. Revelation wide and far beyond our eye can see….as through His love and by His eyes in His grace we will see all that is to be.
My prayer for all is:
[I always pray] that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation [that gives you a deep and personal and intimate insight] into the true knowledge of Him [for we know the Father through the Son].
And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the [a]hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the [b]saints (God’s people), and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength which He [c]produced in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion [whether angelic or human], and [far above] every name that is named [above every title that can be conferred], not only in this age and world but also in the one to come.
And He [d]put all things [in every realm] in subjection under Christ’s feet, and [e]appointed Him as [supreme and authoritative] head over all things in the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills and completes all things in all [believers].
Merry Christmas!
Someone is knocking on your door! Are you going to let Him in?
Knock, Knock, Knock………..Knock, Knock. Knock……..
