And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. -Luke 2:8


Good morning and God bless you. Happy Tuesday. I really get excited during Christmas season and not for the reason most would think. Ok, as a kid that was the reason that most people thought or think. 


But as a kingdom promoter and member, I am excited for the opportunity to witness to others about the greatest miracle of God’s grace, Christ’s birth. 


Yet even more so was those whom God used to announce the birth and further, the Lord never instructed them to go or to tell, but they were so excited that they didn’t need a prompting. 


The Lord’s use of lowly shepherds to spread the news of the birth shows God is not a respecter of person but of willing hearts. 


It seems no one in Israel looked with anticipation for the messiah, not the high Priest, and certainly not the King, but in a field attending sheep were the lowliest of men who obviously anticipated and their passion was rewarded with an announcement of the saviors birth. 


This time of the year the Lord primes ears and makes hearts palatable  to receive in faith His word and the grace to accept it. And the Lord will use any willing vessel to carry the gospel. 


Let us be in tune with the Lords ministrations and pray that we are used to spread the gospel in this season and beyond.

And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;   We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:                   -Daniel 9:4-5 Good morning and TGIF!    Daniel the prophet offers a vital lesson on humility in these scriptures. He draws a parallel between David’s prayer (Ps 51), where David acknowledges not only his own sins but also the sins of those who came before him. Many people either deny being affected by their ancestors' sins or are quick to highlight the faults of others while conveniently overlooking their own.  In verse 4, Daniel first confesses his own sins, whether they were committed intentionally or unintentionally. Then in verse 5, he acknowledges the s...

  And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver. -2 Samuel 24:24 Good morning and terrific Thursday to you!  The passage referenced tells the story of David trying to halt a plague in Israel—a plague that had come as a result of his own disobedience. To stop it, an act of obedience was required. Following the instructions given through the prophet, David sought a place to offer a sacrifice. He arrived at the threshing floor of Araunah, where the angel had ceased his destruction, intending to build an altar there. Araunah, upon learning of the king’s purpose, generously offered the space and everything needed for the sacrifice at no cost.  However, David declined the offer, as he understood a profound truth that many overlook: the principle of sacrifice is that it must c...

  For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. -John 3:17 Good morning and happy Monday to you!  The Lord Jesus came to this world not to condemn us, but to show us what true righteousness is. His mission had multiple purposes, and I will highlight two of them. First, we needed an example of righteousness—someone conceived without sin and who lived a sinless life. Next, because of His immaculate conception and sinless existence, He was qualified to be sacrificed. This requirement was too great for sinful man to fulfill. The grace it took for Him to come into this world and to die for it is truly amazing. #prayforthepeaceofIsrael God bless you and command your day!!! Your comments and questions are welcome.
