Christmas and miracles



Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.- Mark 11:24

There are many heartwarming stories of unfortunate circumstances that are miraculously turned around during this time of the year. 
Many a Hallmark Christmas movie is themed around the whole idea of miracles and Christmas- stopping short of course of the miraculous entrance of Jehovah embodied in full authority and power in the most ironic vessel of a baby. 

 But what of this- this phenomenon when the miraculous seems to be more easily accomplished in this holiday season?

 Has God held back his power to manifest it uniquely during this time of the year?

 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.- Hebrews 13:8

 For I am the Lord, I change not- Malachi 3:6a

 According to the word of God, no. 
Then what has changed?

 The faith of the masses.

 With barely an emphasis on Christ in to today's commercial driven winter holiday season, there is no denying the "feeling" that many refer to as the "Christmas Spirit". I must admit even in typing that, I am unsure whether to capitalize "spirit" or no, simply because of the ambiguity of the reference from one person tot he next. But I digress.
In the vein of the "spirit" of Christmas, people give in an unusual way. And by unusual, I mean, people give in a way that is often uncharacteristic of their normal selves. 

The general population becomes a little more optimistic, and hopeful, and dare I say, faith-filled.

 This increase in faith among the masses is the perfect platform for which miracles do happen. 
It must be so, as God honors his Word. 
 “Anything is possible if a person believes.”- Mark 9:23b NLT

 So while the Christmas season may be attributed with the miracles that seem to occur in this season more than in other, it is more so the faith that it brings out of people. Faith is what miracles are made of, because faith moves God like nothing else can.

 Here's to the miraculous; and here's to increased faith, this Christmas season and beyond.

Mission: Christmas Blessing

Peace & love everybody! I've been so excited it's been hard to contain myself regarding today's mission! I hope that after reading this post, you'll be as encouraged as I am now! Known by most today as "the last Stalinist country" and according to VOM, "one of the most repressive and isolated regimes in the world", North Korea needs our prayers, monetary support, and volunteers. It's even being reported that a holocaust is occurring there as I'm writing this! Christians are being tortured, killed, and having "experiments" run on them all because they testify that Jesus is their Lord. Read a short synopsis of what Persecution.com has to say about North Korea and check out their related links. Thanks to our family over at The Voice of the Martyrs, we will be able to encourage and support our North Korean brothers and sisters! With our donations of $50 we will be able to sponsor a package that will have hard-to-get essentials, ...

all we need , is in Him

Colossians 2:8-10, 12 KJV Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. sin nailed to the cross - image from web Philosophy, traditions, and all the other ways man uses to try and  understand God can only get us so far- if anywhere at all. Sometimes fooling with the newest method and the trendiest biblical insight, or perspectives, takes us in circles. The surest way to learn God, and to get understanding of His Word is through the Holy Ghost. 1 Corinthians 2:11 tells us that only the Spirit of God can know the things of God. And everything that is God, can be found bodily in Christ. In Christ we a...
