A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#And Mary said Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. Luke 1:38
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And behold, thy cousin Elisabeth she hath conceived a son in her old age; and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible. And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah; and entered into the house of Zacharius.
This Christmas Season, we will see that nothing is impossible with God. Mary believed the report of the angel, and the Holy Spirit would come upon her, and that same Holy Spirit is empowering us to defeat all the works of the devil. Jesus came so that we could have life more abundantly. Let us not look at the worldly things that will pass away, but let us fix our eyes upon Jesus, the Author and the finisher of our faith. I pray that if you are waiting upon the Lord to do a miracle in your life, then keep your eyes upon Jesus. I am looking for the blessed hope to appear in the second Advent and take us away to forever be with the Lord. Let us say, as Mary said, be it unto me according to thy word, The Logos and the Rema of God, and just as Jesus defeated Satan with scripture, we too shall do the same and be victorious.
#Being made so much better than the angels, as hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. Hebrews 1:4
The Greek word for angels is Aggelos, meaning ministering spirits and a messenger of God. For unto which of the angels hath He said at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to me a Son? At Christmas, God sent His only begotten Son into the world, born of a Virgin Mary, and He became God man in that hypostatic union. He is 100% God and man, so that He could taste death for every man on the cross. The angels were ministering to the birth of Jesus by singing praises to God in the heavenly host.
Thank God for the angels who minister to us as spirits and protect us as we celebrate the Christmas Season and praise God. I hope that you will take time to glorify God and thank Him for sending His only begotten Son into the world. For God so loved the world that he gave us His Son so that whosoever would believe in Him would not perish but would have everlasting life. All those who will call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Be careful to entertain strangers, for some have entertained angels unawares. The angels want to look into salvation, but they are not heirs to salvation. We are joint heirs with Jesus Christ by faith in the shed blood on the cross. Therefore, I am not ashamed of this gospel for it is the power of God unto all those who believe in Him. God who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the world's; Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; So praise God Jesus is interceding for all those He has redeemed.
#And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation. Isaiah 25:9 Christmas was announced 700 years in advance
The Hebrew word for save is Yasha, meaning to be open, to free, or to succor. And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. And he will destroy in his mountain the face of the covering cast over all people and the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill. And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim; and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands, and the fortress of the high fort of the walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
Christmas was announced 700 years in advance, and the people who walked in darkness will have seen a great Light. As we celebrate the Season, let us remember the Lord Jesus was born a babe in Bethlehem to save us from our sins. He would be of the tribe of Judah, and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces, and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from all the earth. This is why we rejoice in the Lord always, as Paul told us, and thank God for that indescribable gift. For the wages of sin are death, but the gift of God is eternal life. So make sure you have Jesus in your heart this Season, spreading the joy of Christmas.
#For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight. Matthew 3:3 Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father but by Him
The Greek word for Esaias is Hesaias, meaning an Israelite of Hebrew origin. In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, and saying, Repent ye, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. And the same John had his raiment of camel's hair and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey. Then went out to him Jerusalem, and Judaea, and all the region round about Jordon, and were baptized of him in Jordon, confessing their sins.
Keep Christ in Christmas, as John the Baptist was the forerunner of our Lord, and He commanded that we repent and prepare the way of the Lord. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father but by Him. Let us rejoice in the Lord and thank God for sending His Son into the world to pay for our sin debt. For we are forgiven and set free from the penalty of sin and death when we place our faith in Him as our Lord and Savior. I pray that you will tell someone about this Babe in the manger this Christmas Season and tell them the good news that God became a man to save us from our sins. Be baptized and join the Church and worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
#In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. Matthew 2:18 Herod tries to spoil Christmas
The Greek word for Rama is Rhama, a city north of Jerusalem. And was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently asked of the wise men. Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet. But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying Arise, and take the young child and his mother and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life. And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
Herod tries to spoil Christmas, but God took His life, and the baby Lord Jesus was saved in Egypt, fulfilling the prophecy of Jeremiah. Today, the Epstein files are supposed to be released, and we pray that all the children who were harmed by him will receive justice as the truth of what happened comes to light. Jesus loves the little children and said that if anyone tries to hurt those who believe in Me, it would be better that a millstone be tied around his neck and thrown into the ocean. What a judgment, and God will vindicate all those children who were exploited. Let us pray for them and wish them a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
#And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. Luke 2:16 Behold the Lamb
The Greek word for manger is Phatne, meaning a feeding trough. And suddenly, there was an angel, a multitude of the heavenly hosts praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this Child. And all they that heard it wondered at those things which the shepherds told them, but Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.
Behold the Lamb, this is the Christmas blessing that the Lamb of God became a man and was born in a manger. A feeding trough, and rightly so, because He is the Logos, the living Word of God. What humility that our Lord would be born in such a way, and after the angels left and went to heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us go now even unto Bethlehem. These shepherds were despised and rejected, and they were going to praise a Savior who would be despised and rejected, a man of sorrows who would bear the sins of the world as the Lamb of God. We, too, must Behold the Lamb, for He has come bearing salvation. It is my prayer that you will put aside all shopping and take a moment to ponder these things in your heart, as Mary did. When you go to the Christmas parties, tell someone about Jesus as the shepherds did, and do not be ashamed of this gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation.
#He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied: by His knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for He shall bear their sins. Isaiah 53:11 Christmas is about Jesus being born to die for our sins
The Hebrew word for travail is Amal, meaning toil, i.e.wearing effort of body or mind. He was taken from prison and from judgment; and who shall declare His generation? For he was cut off out of the land of the living; for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And He made His grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; because He had done no violence, neither was any deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He hath put Him to grief; when thou shalt make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand. Therefore, will I divide Him a portion with the great, and He shall divide the spoil with the strong; because He hath poured out His soul unto death; and He was numbered with the transgressors; and He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Christmas is about Jesus being born to die for our sins. On the cross, He prayed for us by saying Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. We see He was bruised for our sins, taken from prison and from judgment, and who shall declare His generation? By His stripes we are healed of our sins and diseases. He went from the manger to the cross, and to the grave, and on the third day He was risen for our justification. Now we are accepted in the Beloved, and will be just like Him when He comes again to give us our glorified bodies. Jesus saw His seed and prolonged His days, and the pleasure of the LORD prospered in His hand. This is how He poured out His soul unto death, and He was numbered with the transgressors and made intercession for them. What a Savior, and if you miss Him this Christmas, you will miss the greatest gift of all time. I pray you will accept Him as your Personal Lord and Savior today.
#For He hath regarded the low estate of His handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Luke 1:48
The Greek word for handmaiden is Doule, for a female slave. And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. For He that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is His name. And His mercy is on them that fear Him from generation to generation. He hath showed strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts
This Christmas, we will examine the heart of the Virgin Mary and how humble she was, which tells us that God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. The Virgin Mary saw herself as a slave and was willing to be used by God as the handmaiden of the Lord, knowing that from henceforth all generations shall call her blessed. We do not worship the Virgin Mary, but she is highly favored among women. It was this humility that made her the Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ. We shall always remember the faith that she had when she said Be it unto me, according to thy word. So, if you are looking to be rewarded, remember that righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to all people. So because the Virgin Mary was righteous, Israel becomes the nation of our Lord, and the tribe of Judah His people.
#But when the fullness of time was come, God sent forth His Son, made of a woman, made under the law. Galatians 4:4
The Greek word for fullness is Pieroma, meaning repletion or completion, which is to put in to fill up. Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed by the father. Even so we, when we were children, we were in bondage under the elements of the world: To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying Abba Father. wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
The Christmas message is that God sent His Son, born of a woman, made under the law, to redeem us from the curse of sin and death. Let us rejoice that God always moves at the right time and has given us that indescribable gift of the Lord Jesus Christ. We are no longer servants, but sons, now by the grace of God. What a great Christmas gift to have under the tree, knowing that our Savior would die for us hanging on Mount Calvary. Therefore, He is now seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven interceding for you and me. So now that we have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, let us go outside the camp bearing the aroma of Christ. For we are the aroma of life to everyone who believes, and the aroma of death, to all those who reject Him as their Savior. I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation.
#Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be; but we know that when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. 1 John 3:2 Christmas, the manifestation of Jesus
The Greek word for appear is phaneros, meaning the manifestation, and to show himself. Behold, what manner of love the Father hath betowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore, the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not. And every man that hath this hope in him, purifieth himself, even as he is pure. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that He was manifested to take away our sins; and in Him is no sin.
Christmas, the manifestation of Jesus. The first advent of Jesus appeared as a Babe in the manger, so He could save us from all danger. We shall call Him Jesus, because He will save us from our sins. For this reason, we celebrate Christmas and sing His praises. When He comes in the second Advent, He will take us away from the presence of sin, for we shall receive our glorified bodies. And we will see Him as He is, the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Therefore, it does not appear what we shall be, for we shall be fashioned like unto His glorious body. What manner of love the Father has betowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God. Therefore, the world knows us not, because it knew Him not. This Christmas, celebrate without getting enebriated, for wine is a mocker and whosoever drinketh is deceived thereby. Enjoy your families and celebrate Jesus as the Savior of the world. Eggnog is acceptable and should be used instead of drinking wine. I know it is not popular to say this, but too many people get drunk and commit all kinds of debauchery at this time of year, and go out drunk driving and cause many accidents. So be a good example of one who will celebrate the season soberly. Be ye filled with the Spirit, and not drunk with wine.
Live a pure life this Christmas Season and mark those who emulate you as well. Let your light shine, so that men will see it, and glorify our Father in heaven. Give the greatest gift this year by telling someone about Jesus and how He has changed your life. May the Lord bless all of you, and sing " Silent Night, the Lord Has come."
