John 16:7-15 NASB But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. And Holy Spirit, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged. “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.
Jesus calls us His people, He has sent Holy Spirit. When we acknowledge and declare that Jesus Christ is the risen king, Holy Spirit will dwell within our hearts, our minds, within our lives. Not to make our walk here easy but to guide us on the right road, salvation, sanctification, to God’s eternal kingdom..

Are we living every moment as though Jesus was at our side, as though He is walking towards us at any moment? May God give us the mercy and grace to live with an eternal perspective, living every day like people who see beyond what is in front of us and are ready for His return.

How bewildering to learn that Christ does not get flustered and frustrated when we come to Him for fresh forgiveness, for renewed pardon, with distress and need and emptiness. We need salvation and Jesus is the rescue of humanity.

And Jesus answered saying to them, “Have faith in God.” Mark 11:22 NASB
Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted to him. 24 Therefore, I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted to you.

We owe glory, praise and honour, gratitude and worship to Jesus the risen King. With all that we, along with the brothers and sisters in our communities and across all nations, have gone through the past several months may we find Him in our darkest hours. I know that maybe this Advent season we feel that we just don’t have it in us to celebrate. Maybe this past year has been overshadowed by a heaviness that refuses to budge, like the joy has been sucked out of you. But Scripture teaches us that Jesus Christ was born on Christmas Day for all of humanity! Those who are broken, hurt and disappointed. Those who are celebrating and joyful. Those who have strayed so far from God, and those who rest under His covering. Jesus was born in a barn for the messy and the forgotten. He came to restore the wholeness that comes from a relationship with God. He came to flood our hearts with peace that just doesn’t make sense in todays’s world. Like a warrior who goes to battle to protect a kingdom, Jesus came not merely to wash away our sin but to conquer sin, to conquer death. As we celebrate this season, lets not forget: We can only be forgiven, healed, and set free because Jesus Christ was born. That is Christmas.

Praise God!

My friends, ask God! The Lord knows every detail of what we just came through, what we are stuck in the mud of here and now and what lies ahead – we can be confident our Heavenly Father has good intentions for His people when we ask Him first, when we grasp His hand and walk through the obstacles rather than seeing them as a brick wall.

The only thing that truly matters is whether a person will accept Jesus Christ - who alone will make us holy - At all costs to self, we must put Jesus above all. This is the first of God’s Ten Commandments—not just first in order, but first in importance. Whatever is first in our lives, whatever is most important to us, whether it is money, work, family, a hobby, sports, a house, a car, or a host of other things, whatever is most important to us on our must have and to-do lists that becomes our god. If it is anything other than the true living God of the universe, then the Bible calls that idolatry. My friends there is none but Jesus, put God first. {tweetme}My friends there is none but Jesus, put God first.{/tweetme}

God we praise You! Complete renewal before God for each of us begins when we stop presenting Him with small parts of perceived perfection and start pursuing Him with all we have! All the buckets of flowers and bins of compost! All the stuff we like and hate about ourselves….. we, you, me, us, all have the same choice offered by Jesus and when we are honest with Him we get to genuinely move deeper into the loving presence of God. Pursue Him, sing praise and worship to Him with abandon, speak quietly to Him in prayer. {tweetme}The time is now seek the Lord with all of your heart.{/tweetme}

In other words, Jesus Himself is the Gospel of salvation. He teaches us that no matter who we are or how badly we've messed up, grace, forgiveness and our salvation are available to all who believe in Jesus Christ as the risen Saviour. {tweetme}And the Gospel isn’t just for a few {/tweetme}.... it is not only to serve a “saved” Christian in righteousness... The Gospel is for everyone, and an amazing thing about it is that it is the one thing that unites all Christians, surrendered to Jesus Christ, together better than anything in the world.
