Is It a Blue Christmas?

 Just to Let everyone know that I usually post on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.  I will try to keep posting during Christmas as well on those days.

 

Is It a Blue Christmas?

For those people who are fortunate to not grieve right now please bear with us.  My mother passed away last May.  I am living now in her house with my wife.  If my wife was not with me, I would find this very difficult.  Being in this house is so emotional and everything reminds me of what it used to be when I was with my parents. 

Sunday morning the pastor preached on one of the attributes of the son that was to be born to Mary and Joseph about 700 years after the prophecy in the book of Isaiah 9:6. This one name that Jesus bears is “Wonderful Counsellor” which means that he is too wonderful for words.

It was explained that a counsellor is only effective when people come to him for counselling.  Have you gone to a counsellor?  Has it helped you?  God is a wonderful counsellor, and I was encouraged to approach him with my concerns and worries.  He wants to help, and it shows in his very name.  He listens and he is more than a counsellor through this Christmas.  He is also my High Priest, and he wants to be close to me more than I would ever want him to be.  He loves you in this world so busy and tired.  He wants to mend our lives but most of all he wants to make each one of us one “whole” being.  He does not want us broken and lost anymore.  He wants to give us direction in life.  If the world as a source of knowledge and wisdom is our counsellor, we will live a lie. These things must come from the right source and Jesus is the One.  Prophesied so long ago he has never failed me yet.  He is still the Number One I go to for comfort and strength. He is acquainted with grieve and he can carry me through it.

You can go to him now with any concerns you may have.  He is listening to you carefully and he will act on your behalf.  I pray that each one of you will have a Christmas full of healing and wholeness.  Sometimes healing has to hurt.

The Fruit of the Spirit...Patience?

  As I was being tested, patience was required, and I was waiting with much complaining.   Then my wife encouraged me to read the Fruit of the Spirit out of the Amplified version of the Bible.   So, I did and here it is: “But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others],   joy [inner] peace , patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting],   kindness, goodness,   faithfulness,   gentleness,   self-control.   Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) These verses not only apply to us as we go through our daily life but especially as we wait for the Lord’s return.   How we act while we wait for him does matter and it is very important.   We learn as we go through trials.   For a lot of people, the word “patience” is not welcome in their vocabulary, and I can tell by my own life I am not the only one who finds it difficult to act well while we wait.   We can all wait as this

The Holy Spirit: My Guarantee

  Holy Spirit is a Guarantee   Being a Christian is not based on emotions or on an opinion, but it must be based on assurance of the Comforter in me . The Holy Spirit is the seal of guarantee of the Eternal life God has promised to every Christian. We know we are a Christian not by our feelings but by the presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives.   The Spirit is the guarantee [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of god’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:14 Amplified )    It is a personal reason   For this very reason we ought to praise him. It is a personal reason for our well-being as Christian. We are going to make it because of the Holy Spirit being active in our lives.   We must allow him to be involved in our daily lives intimately, not holding on to any of our self-ambitions. By then we are dead anyway in Christ but alive unto God by his Holy Spirit.   Getting to know hi
