Be Glad For God With Us

Matthew 1:20-23

[20] But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

[21] And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

[22] Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

[23] Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

I praise God for the meaning of Christ, which is Emmanuel, which is God with us!

Luke 2:11

[11] For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

When we are lost we look to Jesus as our savior

Being guilty, we now through Christ sacrifice have our high priest, our all in all

Hebrews 1:3

[3] Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Hebrews 4:15

[15] For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

sometimes when i pray i just thank God that He hears me, God with us

Hebrews 13:6

[6] So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

When we are weak and are facing difficult times we can look to Christ as our help, God with us

John 14:18

[18] I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

When we are lonely, He is our greatest comforter, God with us

Christ’s mission to all of us

His mission to the devil:

1 John 3:8

[8] He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

His mission to the angels:

Hebrews 1:6

[6] And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

His mission to the prophets:

Matthew 5:17

[17] Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

His mission to God:

Hebrews 10:9

[9] Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

His mission to the Lost:

[10] For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

[46] I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.

What’s Up With Prayer?

Here are some great scriptures that over time have came together and are all coinciding with prayer:

Who wants me to?

1 Corinthians 1:9

[9] God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

God desires your fellowship, just as you desire the fellowship and company of other people around you!

Revelation 3:20

[20] Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.

God’s presence as it knocks on your heart wants to be ever-so involved in your life!

What does it do?

Jude 20-25

[20] But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
[21] Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
[22] And of some have compassion, making a difference:
[23] And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
[24] Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
[25] To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

It gives you strength, which in turn allows you to be of strength for others!

Luke 22:46

[46] And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

It allows us to avoid temptation no matter what we would face! It is my honest belief that we can avoid more than what we face if we would simply pray more before we acted. To me, it is just a pretty good indicator that we use prayer for just “blessings” and not for “guidance”.

Ezekiel 22:29-31

[29] The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
[30] And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.
[31] Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.

God is looking for a people who are hungry and willing to stand in the gap for those in need! There are so many that are in great desperation that we must remember to set ourselves aside and pray for every day.

John 16:23-24

[23] And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
[24] Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

In order to grow in God, we must not only believe but ask also. The church as a whole must strive to continue to keep prayer in their lives each and every moment they possibly can. And if you would like to take that a step further, I would go as far to say that prayer will make a difference no matter where you take it!

Mark 11:22-26

22] And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
[23] For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
[24] Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
[25] And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
[26] But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

We must break down, be humble and surrender our lives and sins to God to grow and have salvation! For if we do not learn to break down and acknowledge when we are in need, pride will eventually lead you into a slow and painful spiritual death and force you to endure heavy suffering of trials that were meant to be so light! I believe that with all my heart!

The Greatest Birth, The Greatest Gift

Today we want to read about the greatest event that has ever happened: the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

This is found in Luke 2:1

[1] And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
[2] (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
[3] And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
[4] And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
[5] To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
[6] And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
[7] And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
[8] And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
[9] And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
[10] And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
[11] For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
[12] And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
[13] And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
[14] Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
[15] And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
[16] And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
[17] And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
[18] And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
[19] But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
[20] And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

Our wish today is that you let Jesus become part of your life, and find the peace that he brought that wonderful night.
