It has come to my attention that many of you are upset that folks are taking My name out of the season. How I personally feel about this celebration can probably be most easily understood by those of you who have been blessed with children of your own. I don't care what you call the day. If you want to celebrate My birth, just GET ALONG AND LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
Now, having said that let Me go on. If it bothers you that the town in which you live doesn't allow a scene depicting My birth, then just get rid of a couple of Santas and snowmen and put in a small Nativity scene on your own front lawn If all My followers did that there wouldn't be any need for such a scene on the town square because there would be many of them all around town.
Stop worrying about the fact that people are calling the tree a holiday tree, instead of a Christmas tree. It was I who made all trees. You can remember Me anytime you see any tree. Decorate a grape vine if you wish: I actually spoke of that one in a teaching, explaining who I am in relation to you and what each of our tasks were. If you have forgotten that one, look up John 15: 1 - 8.
If you want to give Me a present in remembrance of My birth here is my wish list. Choose something from it:
1. Instead of writing protest letters objecting to the way My birthday is being celebrated, write letters of love and hope to soldiers away from home. They are terribly afraid and lonely this time of year. I know, they tell Me all the time.
2. Visit someone in a nursing home. You don't have to know them personally. They just need to know that someone cares about them.
3. Instead of giving your children a lot of gifts you can't afford and they don't need, spend time with them. Tell them the story of My birth, and why I came to live with you down here. Hold them in your arms and remind them that I love them.
4 Pick someone that has hurt you in the past and forgive him or her.
5. Did you know that someone in your town will attempt to take their own life this season because they feel so alone and hopeless? Since you don't know who that person is, try giving everyone you meet a warm smile; it could make the difference.
6. Instead of nit picking about what the retailer in your town calls the holiday, be patient with the people who work there. Give them a warm smile and a kind word. Even if they aren't allowed to wish you a "Merry Christmas" that doesn't keep you from wishing them one. Then stop shopping there on Sunday. If the store didn't make so much money on that day they'd close and let their employees spend the day at home with their families
7. If you really want to make a difference, support a missionary-- especially one who takes My love and Good News to those who have never heard My name.
8. Here's a good one. There are individuals and whole families in your town who not only will have no "Christmas" tree, but neither will they have any presents to give or receive. If you don't know them, buy some food and a few gifts and give them to the Salvation Army or some other charity which believes in Me and they will make the delivery for you.
9. Finally, if you want to make a statement about your belief in and loyalty to Me, then behave like a Christian. Don't do things in secret that you wouldn't do in My presence. Let people know by your actions that you are one of mine.
Don't forget; I am God and can take care of Myself. Just love Me and do what I have told you to do. I'll take care of all the rest. Check out the list above and get to work; time is short. I'll help you, but the ball is now in your court. And do have a most blessed Christmas with all those whom you love and remember :
You may be correct. Personally I don't believe the Lord cares, if because of circumstances, I make "Thursday" my day of rest. The reasons it was given is, because all men need a day to rest.
Christians love all people. We may not believe the way they all do. Same as with our families we don't always agree. I would give or accept, a transplant from anyone.
Please read and study the New Testament. The Lord had one plan in the old testament but after Jesus came on the scene this plan changed, as this was ordaine and told about in the old. Love one another Jesus said. If you do this you have fulfilled at ten commandments
Lol Where, in which Bible, did you read there where three wise men or Magi? Three gift are mentioned, so people just like you denote this meant three Kings. There is the problem, what people read into what it never said in the Bible.You are NOT answering my question but give me one instead.
I understand and believe the very same way you do. We are indeed living in the end times. The book of Revelations and the book of Daniel should be read together
Lol the older I get the more the guys are coming around. Sure wonder what it is ha ha. Yeah the last one died in June so this time it is another Dutchman and I believe he is a keeper. Did not find this one on a dating site for a change. He spoils me and he shows how smart he is as he thinks I am the cat's meow lol Very intelligent guy teaching me languages when we are not busy with other things VBG
Sorry, no this is how the Evangecal or born again Christians believe. Jesus is our Saviour; Whoever believes in Him, Jesus, has eternal life. For God so loved the world, (You) that He gave His only begotten Son. John 3-15-18
Ephesians 2-8 For by grace you have been saved throught faith and that NOT of yourself. It is the gift of God.NOT as a result of works, that no one should boast. We can NOT work for salvation nor earn it no matter how much good we do. It this were not so then Jesus died for nothing.
Everybody reacts but the one who started the thread is not heard from again. I see this happen a lot so I will not react, as is that person even paying attention to what others are saying or..............?
I wrote my book. Starting with the war, my immigration etc etc. Just tell you story like you would tell it to a friend. If you like I would show you about 33 pages of mine.
