20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: 23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). 24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him
This is when we trust God to take care of us and have faith.
Something we all do every day. We Keep Christmas in our hearts daily.
Praise the Lord!
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
who greatly delights in his commandments!
2 His offspring will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house,
and his righteousness endures forever.
4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright;
he is gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5 It is well with the man who deals generously and lends;
who conducts his affairs with justice.
6 For the righteous will never be moved;
he will be remembered forever.
7 He is not afraid of bad news;
his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.
8 His heart is steady; he will not be afraid,
until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.
9 He has distributed freely; he has given to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever;
his horn is exalted in honor.
10 The wicked man sees it and is angry;
he gnashes his teeth and melts away;
the desire of the wicked will perish!
Today was a day, we reached out to family and we had help.
Christmas is a time we find
Malachi 3:10
Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.

The Nation finds in the Research of the Pew Report - 80% of the United States prays daily and believes Prayer is an open talk with Father God who Loves, hears and answers.
More than 80% Believe Jesus is the Son of God and saves us in Him to Heaven for our Salvation.
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Jesus Christ is still at work today.
Isaiah 35:6 For waters break forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert
Psalm 18:1-20
I love you, O Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
3 I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.
4 The cords of death encompassed me;
the torrents of destruction assailed me;
5 the cords of Sheol entangled me;
the snares of death confronted me.
6 In my distress I called upon the Lord;
to my God I cried for help.
From his temple he heard my voice,
and my cry to him reached his ears.
7 Then the earth reeled and rocked;
the foundations also of the mountains trembled
and quaked, because he was angry.
8 Smoke went up from his nostrils,
and devouring fire from his mouth;
glowing coals flamed forth from him.
9 He bowed the heavens and came down;
thick darkness was under his feet.
10 He rode on a cherub and flew;
he came swiftly on the wings of the wind.
11 He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him,
thick clouds dark with water.
12 Out of the brightness before him
hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds.
13 The Lord also thundered in the heavens,
and the Most High uttered his voice,
hailstones and coals of fire.
14 And he sent out his arrows and scattered them;
he flashed forth lightnings and routed them.
15 Then the channels of the sea were seen,
and the foundations of the world were laid bare
at your rebuke, O Lord,
at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
16 He sent from on high, he took me;
he drew me out of many waters.
17 He rescued me from my strong enemy
and from those who hated me,
for they were too mighty for me.
18 They confronted me in the day of my calamity,
but the Lord was my support.
19 He brought me out into a broad place;
He rescued me, because he delighted in me.
20 The Lord dealt with me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands he rewarded me.
When we look at the Genealogies of Jesus, we wonder the stories we would learn. What was the life of Jesus was growing in Egypt and Nazareth.
My Grandmother was born in 1898, she and the children of her family - 6 boys and 6 girls - would ride in 2 covered wagons and go see their Grandmother. I told this one day to Maxine, my first cousin once removed. I was 23 and she was 70 years old. I said hard to believe Grandmother saw the walk on the moon. Maxine told me she was born in Melissa's house in 1916. I was astonished and said I have a picture of the house, the tin roof and the front porch and the incredibly Amazing Live Oak Tree. Maxine told me the house was still standing. And being born in January, she was born in a very cold snap in the Louisiana house. Maxine said I bet no one has told you an exact quote of your Great-Great-Grandmother Melissa. I said indeed not. Maxine said I just adored my Great-Grandmother and your Great-Great-Grandmother. We were close all our lives. Great-Great-Grandmother Melissa said I was a beautiful baby and she hoped to get me dressed as soon as possible so I didn't just freeze over in that cold, cold January. And getting me dressed in clothes waiting for the tiny baby girl was life coming into the house.
Wouldn't we all want to hear beautiful things Ephesians 3 tells us of Heaven and earth families live in Heaven.
God could have chosen May. June. April. God looked at the fullness of His earth and chose for Jesus to arrive when the world is at rest. Bethlehem (below) really does have snow.
God enriched us.
Ephesians 3 says families live in Heaven and on earth. Father God has told us Jesus lived before Abraham. Father God let Jesus live among us as Grace upon Grace. Gifting us with Jesus. How many of us would wish our child to depart fo 33 or 34 years?
How would you react to the news your child was going on a voyage of 33 or 34 years? Would we flash forth lightning?
David writes easily of enemies. Sometimes our enemies are just our own attitudes and fog. Winston Churchill said enemies are a badge of honor. We have stood for something.
Our God has let Jesus become part of the Fullness of His Creation. Would the top video be what God felt like on the First Christmas morning?
This seems like an off the wall idea. The Scriptures are Real.
Our God delights, warms, is enthralled with faith. Rejoices in Hope for the father bringing his son to Jesus after the Transfiguration. God sorrows for the Children of Israel in the Exodus.
God is known to repent of His anger when speaking of His anger. Any Father has anger sometimes. David always trusted in the overflowing Mercy of God.
The Overflowing Mercy of God.
The Parable of the servants with talents. The Servant with the most talents believed the Master was kind. He believed his master to be Just. Jesus fully knows we despair of the Goodness of God. Jesus, His Exact Nature, says impudently pray at the last hour. For what you need. Jesus says even an evil Judge can change His Mind. Jesus is saying God is fully able to bear the honest opinion of the hearts He sees revealed. God did not smite us for any opinion brought to God with our thoughts and prayers.
Several years back, I went to hear a healer pray over us. Father Mike Endicott is from the U.K. and he spoke of earnestly begging God for his flock, for 35 years, to have a crumb of God's glory on pretty common and pretty severe situations in life. Begging God to relent of crushing problems. And, one cold night, Father Mike had a vision of Light spilling through the stained glass window. And the Voice of Father of All. And He said, "Mike, do you feed my sheep?" Yes, Lord God, I try. "Yes, you do." And His Voice continued, "Mike, do you believe that I am a Good Father?" The priest replied with more automation than conviction and said, with a touch of earnestness, he did believe God was a Good Father.
Father God said to Mike, "Then Pray believing I have a Plan and a Hope and Future for all of My Children." And Father Mike became a healer because Miracles began to happen left and right. To believe God is a Good and Willing Father. To believe in the Willingness of a Good Father. And still, yesterday, today and tomorrow only Jesus Christ Heals all.
Psalm 18 assures us. Jesus delights in me. Jesus delights in you.
Abba, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. We Thank You for Jesus. His Light Shines and daily mercies renew and we see Him. The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him. The Beauty of the earth and the fullness thereof - we find glimpses of Heaven. Thank You for the blessings of this day. This life. To all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. We are the Beloved of God. Eternity is ours. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. Let the Name of Jesus cover me. God is Love. Let the Name of Jesus cover those I love to Live in His Light. Let the Glory of Jesus Christ and His Name cover this Nation and the Nations coming to His Brightness. And in this Hope see the unborn generation be filled with the fullness of God. In Jesus Christ. Amen.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.” 13 Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.
14 Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue leader said to the people, “There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.”
15 The Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each of you on the Sabbath untie your ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it water? 16 Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?”
17 When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated, but the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he was doing.
18 Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? 19 It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches.”
20 Again he asked, “What shall I compare the kingdom of God to? 21 It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds of flour until it worked all through the dough.”
Christmas Season - time for vibrantly welcoming The Holy Spirit. Placing our efforts in Him. Nourishing our own soul and those around us. Galatians 5 describes a well nourished soul. Stand firm, Jesus Christ has set us free.
The Passage is telling us Sunday Worship is God putting His Hands on us!
For healing, for nourishment, straightening us up. Praising God.
Come and be healed on those days.
To be delighted with the wonder filled things Jesus Christ is doing.
Be Set Free in Jesus Christ.
The Kingdom of God
is where we
rest in His Branches.
Where we will Grow and
Stand Firm in Jesus Christ.
His Steadfast Love
spreads through us and in this Blessing
our lives will see
Father God throw open the floodgates of heaven
and pour out so much blessing
there will not be room enough to contain this.
Christmas, Father God
opens hearts
to His Love.
This is being fed and nourished in
Worship of our Jesus Christ.
Going to Church
Worshipping Jesus
Singing Carols
is
AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL
TO BRING ALL GOODNESS
to
A BUSY SEASON!
Abba, We are blessed every day and renewed in Your Willing Blessings. Strengthen us in Love, Joy and Peace, we ask in Jesus. Remembering all You have done for me and for us and Your Power in the Scriptures. Paul is described in Acts 20L2 He traveled through that area, speaking many words of encouragement to the people. David knew the Comfort of Your Holy Spirit.
1 Samuel 30:6
David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.
Hebrews 12:12-13
Lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees,
and make straight paths for your feet, so
what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.
1 John 5:4
For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world.
And this is the victory that has overcome the world, our faith.
Ephesians 6:10
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
We will pray knowing You know our prayers before we have labored to say them. We will delight for Your Love and Works in our lives. Remembering one of Your Wonders brought to us, treasure in our hearts - now. And we will remember Dee is better and Elliot has had miraculous healing and for his family we will pray for this continued miracle of Yours. Nothing will take Jesus from Elliot. No one will remove Jesus from us, Your Gift to us in Christmas. And we will feel Your Peace, Your Love and Your Joy as we sing Your Songs. Tidings of Comfort and Joy. Covering those we Love in Your Son's Name, Jesus. In Jesus Christ Alleluia, Allllllleluia,Alllllllellllllluia. Ahhhhmen.

Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say.
The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation.
The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
