359 - “A Stable Bigger Than All The World” Revelation 6-9

                                                                    

 Merry Christmas! "A stable once had something inside of it that was bigger than our whole world." He is here. The day of all the year. 

"Her princes within her are roaring lions." Zeph 3: 3 She didn't trust. Don't be afraid. Don't let your hands be weak. Your God is among you. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in His Love. He will rejoice over you with singing. Zeph 3:17 It is with peculiar gladness that God rejoices over you. We come a total mess. We don't come in our best suits. The prevailing Almighty God. Right in the midst of the mess you are going through. Greater than all and no man can snatch me out of His Hand. John 10:29-30 He is for me. Who could be against me Rom 8:31. No one stands against my God. Full of Grace upon Grace. John 1:14-16 So, "strengthen the weak hands and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a feeble heart, Be strong. Fear not. Behold, your God comes, your God saves. Isa 35:3-4 The Lord delights in you. Isa 62:4 Isa 65:19 He rejoices over you for good. Deut 30:9 He meets the longing of your heart. Every token of love piled high on you expresses the Love of Him who broodeth, who yearns for His own whom He loves. "The unuttered, unutterable jubilee of the heart."

We proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning, whom we have heard and seen. We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands. He is the Word of life. I John 1:1

They gazed upon Him. And these are the words we follow. "The future has invaded the present in the form of a small baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manager – an unusual place to find the master and creator of the universe.

Yet this baby, with fire in his eyes, would change everything." George Eldon Ladd.

He came this day, and we still mark it 2,000 years later.  Had to be Something to that to stay around so long.  Born in secret solitude in a lowly of lowest place.  Hidden from all but parents and animals and shepherds doing what they knew to do that very day.  They met the future of the world.  The hope of a Kingdom to come.  And a very Present Shadow of that kingdom on earth.

And because of this...

Heb 6:9 - "we are persuaded of better things for you..."  God will not forget your labor of love.

You have a hope.  An anchor of your soul.  Heb 6:19.

A forerunner for you entered the picture.

Heb 7:25 - "and He is able to save you to the uttermost --- save those who draw near to Him.

And don't ever forget this---He ever lives to make intercession for you.
