God's Words of Wisdom from the Bible for Monday 19 December 2011

"Greetings in the Name of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 19 December 2011"

Today's Bible Verses will be Various Scripture Reading on the Prophecy of the Old Testament Predictions of the Birth of Christ and the new Testament fulfillment of that birth.

Jesus fulfilled hundreds of old Testament prophecies.  Many of these prophecies involved the circumstances surrounding His birth.  Listed below is a list of several such prophecies.  Note the irrefutable similarities between the Old Testament predictions and their New Testament fulfillment.

These Old Testament prophecies were most many hundreds of years before the Actual Birth of our Precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  The word of people changes BUT the Word of God will never change.  Jesus tells us in Matthew 24:25 "Heaven and earth will pass away, by My words will by NO MEANS pass away."  Everything on this earth and in this universe is being done in accordance with God's Plan and His timetable.

Today's Christmas Hymn: It Came Upon The Midnight Clear"

It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth
With news of joy foretold, "Peace on earth, good will to men, from Heaven's all glorious King."
The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing

Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, Holy Spirit, How we as Christians love this time of year because we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Kings of kings, and Lord of lords.  How we rejoice for Your love Father that You loved us so much that You send Your ONLY Son to this world to begin the redemption process that would bring us back to full grace with You through the shed blood of Your spotless Lamb and His conquering Death. Sin and the Grave, defeating Satan for evermore thus breaking the chains of sin that had bound us up.  May we worship and glorify You in all that we say and do. 
                                                                                                                             Amen

"Today's Biblical Truth: "The fact that star that the three wise men followed was called "His Star" indicates that the wise men identified the star with the arrival of the King of the Jews."

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day, Go in Peace and Serve the Lord Our God with Gladness. Love God More Today.  Pray for our Brothers and Sisters in Christ who are being persecuted for their Faith and Trust in Jesus Christ.  Pray also for God's Blessings on the Nation of Israel.  Always remember that when you have spiritual dilemma in your life and you yell out, I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, BUT I CAN."

"You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with the songs of deliverance." Psalm 32:7

Your Sister in Christ,
