What Is Christmas?

Most people who celebrate Christmas in America may not realize what they are celebrating - or why!

So what IS Christmas, you ask? It is the time when followers of Jesus Christ choose to celebrate the birth of their Savior; the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Messiah, who came to earth to redeem lost sinners by sacrificing Himself on the cross, dying, being buried, and who was resurrected on the third day to live eternally. Hundreds of prophecies were fulfilled by Jesus Christ when He was here in human form.

In God's Word, the Holy Bible (KJV) we are told of The Messiah, and God the Father's plan to send His Son to die for our sins.

God's promise to send a Deliverer who will crush Satan:
Genesis 3:15
"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."

 God's promise that The Messiah would be born of a virgin:
Isaiah 7:14
"Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." (Immanuel means God with us.)

God's promise to give His Son, who is also God:
Isaiah 9:6
"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

John 1:14
"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

God's Word says Jesus is The Saviour:
Luke 2:11
"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."

Acts 5:30-31

"The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins."


God is the ONLY Saviour:
Isaiah 43:11
"I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour."

Jesus IS God:
Collossians 2:9
"For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."


Jesus gave Himself to deliver us.
Galatians 1:4-5
"Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom [be] glory for ever and ever. Amen."

Jesus Saves!
Romans 1:16
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek."




Phillipians 2:5-11

"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in earth, and [things] under the earth;
And [that] every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

That is the true meaning of Christmas! Praise The Lord!!

Thank you, Lord. Maranatha!!

And a Merry Christmas to all who believe on the name of The Son of God!

JESUS IS COMING AGAIN

1 Corinthians 15:51-52

Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

MARANATHA!!!!!!!

Heaven or Hell?

Bible Prophecy IS Being Fulfilled, Do You Care?

  
   There are things going on in this world that are not common to any other age in the history of earth, other than the time when Jesus was here walking among us. Bible prophecies are being fulfilled at an alarming rate!
    Now, an alarm can serve as a warning, or a reminder that it is time to wake up! When you are packed and waiting for the day of your exiting vacation, or your wedding, or some other joyous event in your life- you hear the alarm and jump right out of bed eager to begin the day! But when you are going through the motions, uninterested, even dead to the senses of life, the alarm brings anger and usually it gets switched off, or put on 'snooze.' But eventually, it will sound again. One of those times it will be too late, if you have somewhere to go you will have put it off too long and missed it.
    Let me suggest that if you have the latter attitude toward the idea of Bible prophecy being fulfilled and the knowledge that Jesus Christ will be returning for His true followers very soon, you are spiritually dead. The Bible tells of MANY people who had a form of spirituality, religious works to do, attending temples and doing many good deeds. But Jesus Christ warned them "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead [men's] bones, and of all uncleanness." Wow.
   Many people do not know what prophecy is:

• proph·e·cy [prof-uh-see] –noun, plural -cies.

1. the foretelling or prediction of what is to come.
2. something that is declared by a prophet, especially a divinely inspired prediction, instruction, or exhortation.


 Or how accurate and specific the prophecies of the Bible truly are! Here is a site that has detailed information about 100 fulfilled Bible prophecies! Read these and know without a doubt that the Holy Bible is GOD's WORD!

100 Fulfilled Bible Prophecies


"Remember the former things of old: for I [am] God, and [there is] none else; [I am] God, and [there is] none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Isaiah 46:9-10

So, knowing what Bible prophecy is, and that it is more accurate and reliable than a public school history book, why would you not want to know what God will do in the future? Many exciting things are happening that are setting the stage before our very eyes for the fulfillment of Bible prophecies.

Some of the important and very noticeable events are as follows:

• The restoration of the nation of Israel.
• The regathering of the Jewish people to the land of Israel.
• Enemies of Israel surrounding them and vowing to wipe them off the map forever.
• Military alliance between Russia and Iran.
• Catastrophic earthquakes in diverse places, (and the ability to hear about them from the other side of the world.)
• Strange and violent weather patterns.
• Fasle brand of unbiblical Christianity spreading throughout the world, deceiving many people.
• Rise of hate, evil, violence, homosexuality, sexual sins, and murder in the world; (as in the days of Noah.)
• Extreme efforts being made to lay the foundation of a "one world government" or a "new world order."
• Purposeful manipulation of global economic events with the goal of creating a "one world currency."
• Rise in violent persecution of true Bible believing Christians. 
• Commitment to divide the Holy covenant land of Israel, including Jerusalem.

    And this month we have learned that Israel has made a huge discovery of OIL in their land!

http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/03/israel-could-have-more-oil-reserves.html

    This is a crucial development in world events that will set the stage for a future war that is prophesied in the Bible,  in Ezekiel Chapters 38 and 39. But, unfortunately, another war prophecy may be fulfilled first, that of Psalm 83, and possibly the book of Obadiah.
    These prophecies speak of Israel's enemies coming to destroy them as a people. Never before has there been so much hatred for Israel than right now; especially within the Islamic culture. Their stated goal is the destruction of Israel. All of the 'revolution' in the 'arab' countries are setting the stage for this hate to boil over. The Muslim Brotherhood, if in control, will carry out their vows to make war upon Israel. They will try, but they will FAIL! It is written.
    We also have learned that in September, 'President Obama' is pushing for U.N. action to promote the division of Jerusalem.

Jerusalem Post article

    The last time an American president pressured Israel to divide land and give it away to their enemies for no reason, (their enemies do not want peace, they want the Jews dead and gone,) it looked like Hurricane Katrina.

Did God send Katrina as Judgement for Gaza?

   Barack Hussein Obama has already abandoned Israel, told them they can't build in their capital city, traveled around the globe giving speeches to promote the religion that calls for their destruction. If he messes with Israel any further, as Mr. T. used to say; I pity the fool. And I fear for our once great nation. God will judge us as we judge them.
"For the day of the LORD [is] near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head." Obadiah 1:15
    It is my prayer that America would repent and help it's ally, Israel. Otherwise we could see the worst disaster in America's history; the New Madrid fault line split; mother of all earthquakes. It could split us in two,"literally" (as Joe Biden likes to say.) it would submerge the midwest, possibly killing millions. We are not immune from the scenes of China, Haiti, New Zealand, or Japan. The U.S. Government will be conducting drills in the event of this catastrophe this May. They are preparing.

FEMA Still has New Madrid Fault Line Action Plans

New Madrid fault earthquake zone coming-to-life?

How loud does your alarm need to be? Wake up, smell the coffee, and get right with God. If you are not saved born again believer in Christ; please read my previous post about Salvation and ask God to reveal His Truth to you TODAY!

"Behold, I come quickly." - Jesus Christ, Revelation 3:11, 22:7, 22:12

End Times Warnings from Jesus

False Christs Are Everywhere

   Jesus said "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect" Matthew 24:24
  He was telling his disciples one of the signs of His soon return. It is a two-fold warning; not to be deceived by the false teachers, and that in the last days when we see this happening; He is soon to return. 
   In todays "politically correct" world, it is considered insanity to call someone a false teacher. This would imply that there is a source, a teacher of absolute Truth! Liberals are "absolutely" sure there is no such thing.  Sounds crazy? Ha! It must be you! You should tolerate everything- even damnable lies and heresy! 
  Well, if you're crazy enough to keep reading in search of Truth in this dark era we live in, be warned; you will be persecuted if you believe on Jesus as the One teacher of spiritual Truth. (Of course, if you do not come to saving faith in Christ, you have a bigger problem than politically correct Yippies sound-biting at your shins with circular arguments and rhetoric.)  
   The Mormons use many of the same terms and names found in the holy bible, but they have different meanings attached. The Jesus they speak of is not the same Jesus found in history and the Holy Bible. The article below articulates these details very well!

  Below is a link to a great and informative article by Ron Carlson, an expert on cults and eastern mysticism. Please read if you are a Jehovas' Witness, Mormon, or if you are being visited and courted by these often well meaning (albeit deceived) individuals. You need to know this information, it is very important.

  The Catholic church is one thing most people think of as a "Christian faith." A "Christian cult" is a religion that promotes the idea of being saved by Jesus- PLUS X,Y and Z. In this way, the Catholic church is just like the Watchtower Organization and the Mormon Church. I was raised as a Catholic. It is unbiblical, works-based and very deceiving to say the least. In the Catholic church, Salvation comes from ritualistic man-made 'Sacraments' -not from faith in Christ alone! 


  Jesus said: "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
John 8:31-32


  You must check the Catholic church against GOD's WORD in order to be faithful to Jesus and find out how to truly be saved by faith in Him alone. PLEASE take time to look at the links below to resolve this issue.

  The next most dangerous thing going on, in my opinion, is the "Emergent church" movement. These people are deceived into thinking they are serving the True Lord, but in reality they have constructed a false Christ who is tolerant of any new age doctrine that comes down the line, including unBiblical meditation, eastern mysticism, Freudian psychology, and Universalism to name a few. Focus is on the physical needs, not Salvation by Grace through Faith in Jesus Christ alone (saving souls.) They are actively merging with all denominations and other false faiths in a GLOBALIST one world "kingdom now" agenda. It is not hidden, they come right out and declare it. The links below to articles of those who have researched this topic for years and have faithfully sounded the alarm! Get your next coffee and read on!

   If you are a saved born again believer in the Jesus Christ of the Bible, praise God! I hope you will use these resources to help those lost family members or confused co-workers in your life. Be bold and be faithful to God. 
   If you are not saved, I pray that you will settle the matter very soon. False Christs are everywhere, and the true Christ promises He will return to save His children, and judge the world of unbelievers.
