Prayer Jews to know the Messiah

Heavenly God Father,

Thank You that You are a God who keeps His promises to all generations. 

Thank You for the nation of Israel, through Whom You chose to bring us Your Word, Your Truth, Your Wisdom and Your only begotten Son, Jesus. 

Lord, thank You that although we are faithless, You remain faithful. 

Thank You, that the promises that You gave to Your chosen people, Israel, will not and cannot be broken, for they are all yes and amen in Christ Jesus. 

 Father, although as a nation Israel has sinned and turned against You and Your Son, Jesus Christ, nevertheless You are faithful to fulfil all the promises that You made to their forefathers, to Abraham and his seed forever.

Guide and protect the nation of Israel, in a world that would seek to erase them off the face of the map and drive them into the seas, for You have promised to return to earth and to set up Your kingdom when that nation calls upon the name of the Lord JESUS, and cries out to Him.

 The Blessed is He Who comes in the name of the Lord. Father, I pray that You would guard and protect the nation of Israel, both individually and nationally and hasten the time when they look on Him Whom they have pierced, and repent of their sins.  Your Israel's refuge and fortress. 

In Jesus Mighty Name 

Amen.

El Gibbor Eternally Mighty to save!

The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, (El Gibbor) will save.
He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”

Zephaniah 3:17 

~~~ Reflections ~~~

~~~Prayer ~~~
Thank you Lord for being Mighty, for your grace. Even when I mess up, you are there to save me with eternal salvation. Your Love is Mighty. You are The Mighty God. 

The Open tomb

Matthew 16:1-11 

He is Risen
Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might go and anoint His Body.
Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. And they said among themselves..

“Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” 

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for the stone was very large.
And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified.
He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him. But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, as He said to you.”
So they went out quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed.
And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

The Lord appears to Mary Magdalene
Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.  She went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept. And when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe.


~~~Reflections~~~
Insert yourself along side Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome. Waking along the dirt path with on the way to the tomb, where Jesus's dead body lays.
Filled with sorrow, grief, and unbelief this event happened. 

Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, being witnesses to the many miracles, healings and even the dead being brought back to life, their faith had to be shaken. As they had just purchased the spices, that they might go to the tomb and anoint His body. Still in shock, after have witnessed the Messiah, being beaten and experiencing one of the most horrific executions, being left to hang until eventually death from exhaustion and asphyxiation overwhelmed his mortal body.

It was early dawn, on the first day of the week, and In their grief they wondered “Who would roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for them? When they arrived at the tomb. They saw the stone was already rolled away. there they saw a young man, who was dressed in a white robe and sat on the right side.

Panic struck them. Their bodies trembled, their heart raced. They felt faint and overwhelmed.
He spoke, "You are looking for Jesus, He is not here, For He is Risen. Go and tell his disciples and Peter that he’s going ahead of them to Galilee. There they will see him, just as he told them."
They went out of the tomb and ran away. In Shock, trembling and overwhelmed. They didn’t say a thing to anyone, because they were afraid. 

What a shock that must have been to see the Stone rolled away. Jesus's body not there. GONE!
Only a young man, dressed in a white robe.  However, Mary Magdalene, the woman from whom he had cast out seven demons.  She was the first person who Jesus appeared to, after He had died and She did go and told HIS friends, SHE TOLD THEM " HE LIVES! "

In their grief and tears they did not believe her.

He is not here, for He is risen, as He said.

Matthew 28:6

He Is Risen

Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn,
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
And behold, there was a great earthquake,
for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven,
and came and rolled back the stone from the door,
and sat on it.
His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.
And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men.
But the angel answered and said to the women,

“Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.

He is not here, for He is risen, as He said.

Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.” So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.

~~~Reflections~~~
Just as Christ had said before, He will Rise, from the dead.
Resurrected! Jesus Christ died on the cross.
Jesus being in the human form come back to life after His death.

We have something to look forward to Our own resurrection.
At the time of our resurrection We shall be brought to stand before God,
knowing even as we know now, as Christ lives, so shall we live.

Our eternal glory depends upon our Faith that we believe the truth, and confess that Jesus Christ died for our sins. And he Rose from the dead, so that we may have eternal life.

If you would like to accept Jesus' free gift and become a child of God,
you can pray this prayer now.

"Lord Jesus, I need you. Thank you for dying on the cross to pay the penalty for my sins. I ask forgiveness for my sins and receive you as my Savior and Lord. Thank you for giving me the gift of eternal life. I want to turn and live a new life with you as my Lord and Savior. Thank you, Jesus. Amen."

Do you want to be so overflowing with the river of living water out of your heart?

Acts: 5-12-16
And through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch. Yet none of the rest dared join them, but the people esteemed them highly. And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.

~~~Reflections~~~
You can have the same access to the same power today, that Peter and the apostles manifested throughout the multitude of people, in the book of Acts. You  also have the same strong faith that you can be healed. Are you lacking faith. Ask the Lord to strengthen it. Do you want to be so overflowing with the river of living water out of your heart, so much so, that when you walk through a crowd of people, that God's Holy Spirit fills them, heals the sick, sets those tormented by unclean spirits Free.

God does not fill your cup 1/2 way. Gods living river of life will never stops flowing.  He is the everlasting Living Water that Flows Freely. God wants to use you, to perform signs and wonders, just as Peter and the apostles did.  God holds an unlimited supply of the Living Water. His Living Water that has no bounds, no limits, no restrictions. He can unleash His power of the Holy Spirit in your life today! 

According to John 7:37-39
On the last day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying,
“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.
He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”
But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive
for at that time the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Now that Jesus has Died and Risen to be with the Lord, The Holy Spirit is Here, NOW! Come to Jesus and Drink. Confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, and ask him to guide you, to allow the river of living water to flow through your heart. Invite him into your heart. Into your life. Welcome the Holy Spirit. Let Him who is Thirsty, Drink.

With a simple step of Faith. Receive the word of the Lord, Repent. Be filled with The Holy Spirit. You are a part of His divine plan. No one persons words, or shadow can heal, It is Only By faith in the name of Jesus Christ that you can be healed. You can be the one with the faith to receive the healing, and you can also be the one that the Lord uses to demonstrate to the multitudes to bring His signs and wonders, miracles of healing. Give God the Glory!
 
It is by Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that completely heals the sick and those tormented by impure spirits, that all are healed. God's Power is real and the access is there.  He is the author of Life, He performs the miracles, so others can see and believe.

Receive the message of Salvation, that know that it is true. That Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the Savior, that he died on the cross and God raised him from the dead.  That the Holy Spirit dwells within you.
Jesus makes the weak, STRONG.

Matthew 2:1-12

Wise Men from the East

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem

of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold,

wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying,

“Where is He who has been born King of the Jews?

For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”

When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 
And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes
of the people together, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.
So they said to him,


“In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it is written by the prophet:

But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
Are not the least among the rulers of Judah.
For out of you shall come a Ruler
Who will shepherd My people Israel.’”

Then Herod, when he had secretly called the wise men,

determined from them what time the star appeared.  

And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, “

Go and search carefully for the young Child,

and when you have found Him, bring back word to me,

that I may come and worship Him also.”

When they heard the king, they departed,
and behold, the star which they had seen
in the East went before them,
till it came and stood over where the young Child was. 

When they saw the star,
they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. 
And when they had come into the house,
they saw the young Child with Mary His mother,
and fell down and worshiped Him.
And when they had opened their treasures,
they presented gifts to Him.
gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they
should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.

~~~Reflections~~~

The Wise men followed the Star to the One who has been born King of the Jews.

We here of the 3 gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. So we assume 3 wise men. 
We should know better to assume God's word. 
All of my life, I was taught 3 wise men. All the books, movies, and plays,
always had the shepherd and 3 wise men.
Lets take a look at the old testament speaking of the coming of King of Jews, the Messiah.
The wise men, or otherwise known as Magi or Kings are linked to Old Testament prophesies, that talk about the Messiah being worshipped by kings, and Bringing gifts. And where they

traveled from Midian Ephah, Sheba, Seba, Kedar, Nebaioth, Tarshish, and Lebonon.
Never does it mention the  actual number of wise men. Gives you an idea of how they traveled. Ships, possibly caravans.

Here are scriptures you can find  Isaiah 11  Isaiah 60,  Psalm 72,  Psalm 68:29,  and Micah 5:2

Christ Born of Mary

Christ Born of the Virgin Mary

Matthew 1:18-25

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows:
After His mother Mary was engaged to Joseph,
before they came together.

She was found with child of the Holy Spirit.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man,
and not wanting to make her a public example,
was minded to put her away secretly.

But while he thought about these things,
behold,
an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying,  “Joseph, son of David,
do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife,
for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.



And she will bring forth a Son,
and you shall call His name Jesus,
for He will save His people from their sins.”
So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which
was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying...

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son
and they shall call His name Immanuel,”
which is translated, “God with us.”

Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep,
did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife,
and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son.
And he called His name Jesus. "Immanuel" "God with us"

~~Reflections~~~
Mary being a Virgin of flesh and blood. 
and for the child Jesus was Miraculously
conceived in her womb was of the Holy Spirit.
A DIVINE MIRACLE!
As His Word spoke this world into existence.
Gods HIS Holy Spirit Miraculously, Supernatural Intervention had her conceive Jesus. 

Matthew mentions the paternity of the Holy Ghost very quickly.
Before either Joseph or Mary are mentioned.
Some scriptures to references for the virgin birth are Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 1:26-38 Galatians 1-4
From the Old Testament prophetic message in Isaiah 7:14.
Christmas is more than just a tree, lights, gifts, jingle bells, holiday, or a birthday.
All through out the Bible, God has used days to remember things.
Nine major holidays and Sabbath days instructed by God in the Old Testament.
Seven of these were appointed feasts, meant to be a sacred time when the Israelites met with God. Three of these seven appointed feasts were pilgrimage feasts, when all Israelite males were required to appear before the Lord at the temple in Jerusalem.
Lets take a look at the celebration of the Birth of Jesus or also known as Christmas, from a Christian perspective. There is a lot of biblical basis, traditional observances, seasons, facts, and an interesting section revealing the fulfillment of the Messiah, Jesus Christ throughout the Bible.
Christmas No matter what day you celebrate it. Is a reminder that God did something so Divine and Holy. He sent his Son the Messiah for us, so we could be from sins and sickness. Give God Praise!
Christmas is a reminder GOD IS WITH US!
