Sunday Mesage Dec 17
Come Celebrate Jesus with Us!
”For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”“ Luke 2:11-14 NKJV
Read all of Luke 2 for the whole story!
And celebrate we did! Wow! If ever we have had a party during our marriage, this one was the absolute over the top best of the best! The weather forecast didn’t look good, so we prayed and took authority over the rain. It was an all day open house Christmas party to celebrate the goodness of God!
Slowly at first, then the momentum picked up and people came and stayed and went and more kept coming. Some stayed awhile while others stayed the whole day! It was awesome as we talked about the Lord and the great things He has done in our lives!
Like our pastor said today, we need to have crazy faith because with God all things are possible! We don’t care if they call us nuts because the glory and blessings of God will be seen in our lives and then others will want some too! As the day progressed, I was so blessed to look around our home and see all of our dear friends and brothers and sisters in Christ having such a great time.
The weather looked like an old fashioned winter day - which we appreciated after a long hot summer, with a pretty steady drizzle. It only rained a little harder when we were all snuggly tucked inside! It pays to know our authority over things as followers of Jesus!
There was plenty of food and it seemed we had ordered just the right amount of stuff. There was joy and Holy Spirit laughter that had one gal on the floor of our tiny kitchen just overwhelmed by God’s goodness. We closed the day with praying for each other and then turned up the music as we listened to Brandon Lake sing, “Tear off the Roof.”
God had set the whole thing up in a way no human could have. We were so touched by His Spirit we felt like our legs would come out from under us. It seemed to start at our service on Friday night, and it flowed through the day yesterday throughout the entire gathering, and continued into today!
So what do we do when we have times like this? We cherish the One True God Who came to earth to die for our sins and give us a new life, a life free from bondage so we can tell others about His goodness as we daily rejoice in his presence! I was going to fast today, but didn’t quite hit the mark with the party leftovers, but, everyday is a fast of one sort or another as we follow Jesus and lead others there too!
This Christmas season, if you are invited somewhere to attend a party, just bring His presence into the room and watch expecantly to see what the King of kings will do! It’s all about Him, for Him and by Him!
Make it a time to celebrate the people in your life, both the ones who know Jesus and the ones you are praying will get there! Praise Him for loving us that much that He sent us Himself in the form of a humble baby! And praise Him for helping others see Who He really is while they are on their journey!
Let’s celebrate Jesus together, shall we!
