For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.What do you want for Christmas?
(John 3:16)
That is the question I want to ask you today. What is the main topic of your conversation and attention? Are you singing about Chestnuts roasting on an open fire or Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, or Jingle Bells?
I'm singing in the name of Jesus, "Satan get your hands off of my money. Satan, get your hands off of my uncle. Get your hands off of my mama. Get your hands off of my house. Get your hands off of my wife. Get your hands off of my church. Get your hands off of my parishioners. Get out of here in Jesus' name. I'm walking in victory because of Jesus."
The Authority And Ability To Change
The Bible said, because of what Jesus did, when you resist the devil, he has to go. We have the right to speak to our situations in Jesus' name. We can speak with the authority in the Name of Jesus to change the circumstances around us.
That is what Christmas is all about.
When I think about Christmas, I'm thinking about victory. Some are talking about a day off from work. I'm talking about how I don't have to work in this sense: The Lord provides my every need. I don't work for a living. I work for a giving.
Unto us a child is born. Unto us a Son is given. Thank God for the baby. But the baby grew up. He grew up so big that He won the biggest battle of all.
The Word said in Ephesians chapter one that the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may grant unto us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him (This is what I am talking about)!
Glory And Virture
He has called us to glory and virtue, whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these we may be partakers of the divine nature; having escaped the corruption of the world through lusts.
For God so loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believe in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
So the question is, what do you want for Christmas? I want to maintain the victory that Christ won for me and for you. Don't you want the same?
