SANTA CLAUSE VS SANTA JESUS- WILL THE REAL SANTA PLEASE STAND
HOW DO WE TELL THE REAL SANTA? ( Santa= righteous and holy)
Both Santas are jolly.
Both Santas love children.
Both Santas give good gifts.
Both Santas can fly.
Both Santas have an expected return.
Both Santas have people looking for their appearing.
Both Santas have a massive group of servants.
And both Santas love you unconditionally.
Whoops- hold it a minute. If I remember right, Santa Claus will love you and give you gifts if you're nice. However, if you are naughty, heaven help you.
And here's where Santa "Jesus" comes in.
With the real Santa Jesus Christ, love is not conditional.
Romans 8 declares that there is nothing that will cause Jesus to stop loving you.
Plus- you received his love even before you loved him.
Santa Claus never gave his life to redeem you from death.
Jesus did!
Santa Claus never rose from the dead to give you the gift of eternal life.
Jesus did!
Santa Claus never went to your heavenly Father to prepare a place for you to dwell with him forever.
Jesus did!
The real Santa is already standing.
Jesus Christ is standing in defense of you before the Father's throne as an intercessor and defending your righteous position in the family of God against your accuser.
His love is eternal. It will never end.
Forget about the Santa that will give you a "piece of coal" when you miss a step or miss the mark.
Jesus Christ gives forgiveness and righteousness.
Well, that sells it for me. I cast my vote for the actual gift giver, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who came from the Father in heaven to give you the greatest gift of all. He gave himself as the blood sacrifice that redeemed you from the grip of death and brought you back to your heavenly Father's heart where you belong.
Welcome home! AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE WHEN EVERYTHING CHANGED
When you look back on your personal life and our national life, you recognize a number of nights that we could call "our night before" when everything changed.
There's an old familiar statement we often make when we say, "It's always darkest before the dawn." What we mean by that is that before a miracle happens or our situation changes, we have plenty of opportunity to be in despair and fear.
Each of us has memories of our turning points, soon good, some real good, and also some not so good—the night before you board the plane for your planned vacation to the Bahamas. Or the night before, you have to face the judge in the courthouse. These are the nights that you remember because it's in these times that your character and strengths are strengthened and formed.
Look at Paul and Silas, as related in the Book of Acts, in jail at midnight. It was their night before God's miracle happened, and they were set free supernaturally.
Take a snapshot of Peter as he's in chains, locked up in a Roman prison. Meanwhile, the fellow believers were gathered, praying for his deliverance when the angel came and set him free supernaturally.
It was the night before when George Washington, the commander of our young revolutionary army, knelt in prayer, asking God for guidance. It had been months since we declared our independence, and our battle against the biggest army in the world was not going well. We had yet to win in any of the battles that we fought.
As George Washington was in prayer. God gave him a battle plan. He was to take his men across the Delaware River on Christmas Eve and attack the German mercenary army that England had hired. So, in the middle of the night, he took his army across the icy river in a blinding snowstorm. Catching the enemy by surprise, they had a total victory.
It was the turning of the war that eventually brought us our freedom and independence.
There is the "night before" in every one of our lives, and what keeps us true to our faith and the promises of God is knowing that he is faithful to bring us to our destination.
How could we forget the garden scene with Jesus on his "night before" experience? The scriptures tell us that he was in such intense interaction with his Father in prayer, that he sweat as it were great drops of blood.
The next day changed the world forever and made it possible for you and me to have eternal life and be taken back into the Father's heart.
Stand firm in your "night before" because tomorrow's coming when victory is promised.

JESUS CAME TO THE WHOLE WORLD AND FOUND ONE OUTCAST WOMAN
We just sailed through another Christmas season, celebrating the coming of the savior of the world as a baby in the manger. But there is a reason why the Bible does not record the adolescent years of Jesus, except for one episode, when he was 12 in the temple.
We jump from that description of that young 12-year-old and the priest he interchanged with to a 30-year-old man walking up to John the Baptist to start his destiny God sent him to fulfill.
As interesting as it may be to know the daily schedule of a five-year-old Jesus, the Holy Spirit excluded that on purpose so that we would focus on the main reason that God came in the flesh in the form of Jesus of Nazareth.
John 3:16 tells us that God's only begotten son came to redeem the world and everything God created.
We spend the next three years watching Jesus through the eyes of the four gospels, healing the sick, raising the dead, and feeding the hungry.
Jesus came to the whole world and found one woman, an outcast woman by the well outside of town. If there ever was a snapshot of our heavenly Father's heart toward his children, you see it as Jesus sits alone, ministering to a broken woman.
Christ came to save the world, but it always starts with one lost soul that needs redemption. Jesus was a walking billboard for God, the Father, because he said everything I do is because I see a Father doing it.
As excellent and beyond imagination, as it was to see Jesus heal entire cities. His real work started when the stripes were laid on his back, and they marched him to the cross.
We shout and cheer when the sick are healed, and how wonderful it is. But heaven rejoices, and the angels rejoice. When one lost, child of God comes back to the Father, because Jesus went to the cross, rose from the dead, descended into hell, and led those captives out. He spent 40 days downloading the kingdom of God into the disciples. Then he ascended to the Father and now sits by his right hand, speaking on your behalf against any accusation.
The baby Jesus in the manger is an important start, but let us not be stuck in a never-ending circle. As the Scriptures tell us, we should be like Jesus and go on unto perfection.

THE DOUBLE STANDARD-DID CHRIST COME IN THE FLESH?
Fifty years after Christ's ascension, the apostle John set pen to paper and gave us the first, second, and third John in the Scriptures. This is the same disciple who leaned on Jesus's breast during the Last Supper. This is the one they could not kill, so they put him on the Isle of Patmos, where he wrote the revelation of Jesus Christ.
In first, John the fourth chapter, he's dealing with a crisis that is happening in the Christian church. In a short five decades after Jesus ascended, 50% of the church did not believe that God actually came in the flesh. The teachings and revelation that the apostle Paul had 50 years previous to this had been taken over by perversive teachers that entered into the bloodstream of the church.
We often use this passage of scripture in our modern situation, challenging an evil spirit or a person who may be under the influence and bondage of an evil spirit. We ask them if they can confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh.
It's not unusual for us modern-day Christians to believe that the entire Bible was written just for us today. When we do, we miss some of the most powerful reasons why the Scriptures were pinned in the first place.
I have witnessed all too often while identifying which spirit someone moves in that this scripture is still valid today for this challenge.
However, we can miss the point of why John wrote the book if we don't identify the perversion that was trying to kill this infant Christianity that God had brought through Jesus Christ.
The apostle John tells us in chapter 4, verse two in the Passion Bible: here's the test for those with the genuine spirit of God: they will confess Jesus is the Christ, who has come in the flesh.
Verse three: everyone who does not acknowledge that Jesus is from God, has the spirit of antichrist, which you heard was coming and he's already active in the world.
Two standards were being lifted concerning who Jesus really was. One was the truth that the original apostles had laid out for the church, that Jesus was God and man together. God manifested in the flesh.
The second standard crafty teachers were raising was that Jesus was just a prophet talking about God. John clearly identifies that spirit as the spirit of antichrist, which was already working in his day.
When the Scriptures tell us to lift a standard, it directs us to hold up the banner of truth concerning Jesus, why he came, and who he was and is today.

THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM SOLVER
What was the original sin that separated humanity from fellowship with their creator? Was it, not the fact that Adam and Eve stepped away from the rules of life that God had set for them? The key to harmony and peace in the heavenly kingdom and in the world that Adam lived in was obedience to the rules of life.
Those rules of life were very clear. Obey what I say, and you will have success. Disobey what I say, and you will find trouble.
As quoted in the book of Genesis, the serpent in the garden came into their life of tranquility and peace and beguiled them. The word beguiled means to bring confusion to the point of changing your opinions and understanding.
What happened was that Adam and Eve became their own counselor and, in a real sense, their own God.
From that point on, it was "game on." Who among us needs God? We can be our own problem solvers.
So here we are after all of these centuries that have passed, and we have come up with a new brilliant idea called artificial intelligence (AI). The boasting of those who have created this latest challenger to God says it will be the smartest thing ever made. It will contain all of the wisdom and knowledge of the world. And at the push of a button, you can get any problem solved.
No wonder the unregenerate man is attracted to something that can solve their problems quickly. Why, not after all, do we have everything else, such as fast food, instant music, and movies on demand? Why not problem-solving on demand?
You're looking at another feeble attempt to replace God. Besides, who needs to pray or read the Bible or ask the preacher when you have this marvelous invention of man's creation, artificial intelligence?
So, what's God's response to this? The same as it always has been over the centuries, he laughs at man's foolishness. The house of cards that man makes in his attempt to be delivered from the hand of God's authority always comes to ruin.
James 1:5 tells us that if we ask for wisdom, he will give it to us.
Jeremiah 33:3 declares that if we call to him, he will answer and show us great and mighty things that we do not know.
After all, our God, Jehovah, is the original problem solver.

WISDOM GIVES LIFE
It's the first day of a new week, and we look forward to the challenging yet adventurous days ahead of us. Because life is not always guaranteed to work out the way you thought it would, we trust the Lord to guide us through the pitfalls and the snares that it may offer.
To do that, we prepare ourselves by studying and meditating upon the word of God for wisdom. Godly wisdom comes only from the spiritual realm in which God lives and from the spirit of wisdom herself.
To receive godly wisdom, we have been given the ability by God himself to have Faith and belief. The Scriptures tell us that he has given every person the measure of Faith. God's Faith is planted in the spirit of every created human so they can believe in the Lord Jesus and find their way home to the Father.
We have been given clear instructions on receiving the spirit of wisdom and the gift of life. The apostle Paul told his spiritual son Timothy to study the word of God, and it would prove him to be a faithful servant.
Jesus said the words that I speak into you are spirit and life. So, as we meditate upon the word of God, it becomes food for our spiritual man and gives us the life of God.
The Hebrew scholars tell us that each Hebrew letter is a spirit, a living being that God created. With that thought in mind, you can understand why if we eat the word of God, it becomes life to us.
Meditating upon the word of God has several facets to it. When I think of that, I am reminded of the cow that chews the grass in the field in the morning when the dew is on it. Then, when the sun gets hot, she lays under a cool shade tree and chews it again, getting all of the benefits out of that food taken in.
This is what it means to meditate upon the word of God day and night.
Chew it again!

THE KEY TO ETERNAL JOY
We used to sing a song in the church: "It is joy unspeakable and full of glory, and the half has never yet been told." And another song was:
"Joy bells, ringing in my heart, Joy bells, ringing in my heart,
Take the savior here below with you everywhere you go,
You will have the joy-bells ringing in your heart,"
Joy and a life of peace have always been the theme of the Christian message, as well as the lifestyle of a believer in Jesus Christ. That's one of the reasons we sing about it and teach it from the word of God.
So, what is the key to eternal joy? How do I, as a believer in Jesus Christ, maintain a lifestyle that is void of depression, fear, and downright unbelief?
The Scriptures tell us that in the presence of the Lord, there is fullness of joy and that his right hand pleasures forever more. ( Ps 16:11)
It's my experience that you can't dwell in depression and be in faith at the same time. The scriptures tell us bitter and sweet water can't flow from the same well.
I also know that if I am in the presence of the Lord, depression can't stay with me because, in his presence, there is fullness of joy.
So, how do I enter his presence?
Psalms 100:4 gives us a clear diagram of the doorway into his presence. I like what it says in the Passion Bible.
"You can pass through his open gates with the password of praise.
Come right into his presents with Thanksgiving.
Come, bring your thank offering to him and affectionately. Praise His beautiful name.!
How much do we praise him? And for what do we praise him?
First, in Thessalonians 5:18, in everything, give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus."
So there you go. Praise and worship God all the time for everything.
Enjoy the journey.

WE CAN WALK ON WATER IF WE KNOW WHO IS CALLING US TO COME
Among the many questions that I have been asking as a pastor is the one concerning the will of God for their personal life. "Pastor, do you think it would be God's will that I move to Cincinnati?" "Pastor, should I Mary Jane? Is that the woman that God has given me?"
The desire to know that God favors what you do makes all the difference in the outcome.
When Peter stepped out of the boat, he was in and started walking on the water. It was the result of one thing and one thing only. He knew it was Jesus who had called him to come. The storm was thick enough that he couldn't make out his features, but he recognized his voice, and when he did, he made history.
So the key to that miracle story is knowing Jesus so that you trust and rely on him when he says come to me.
To know someone requires a certain amount of intensive personal relationship with that person.
Doing that comes from a desire or an appetite to understand and learn what they know and experience.
My experience and the Scriptures tell me that you will know the Holy Spirit Jesus Christ and the Father only to the degree of your hunger and desire.
The people who followed Jesus ' scripture did it for the loaves and fishes. They didn't see him as we do: the world's savior, the Father's only begotten son. ThFather him as a miracle man who fed them food they could be satisfied with.
Even those who knew him as a healer had not received the revelation of who he is to us. To them, he was a miracle Man who could heal the sick and remove their temporary pain.
So my question to you today is, how hungry are you to know Jesus as the Father of the Father? Do you have the passion to go past the man-made restrictions that you've been taught in religious settings?
Remember, there is no ceiling to this spiritual escalator we're on. The top floor is always the Throne of God. "And in his presence, there is fullness of joy, and at his right hand is pleasures, forever, more."

RESTORATION-HOW FAR DOES IT GO?
I'm sure you've heard the gospel song pleading with God, asking if he could just make it in. Listening to it, we get the picture of someone diving through the gate of heaven, catching their coat tail as it closes. A person with that in their thinking lives a life of high anxiety, hoping and wishing that somehow God would have mercy on them and let them into his heaven.
Much of the protestant church, in its early formation, taught that you would not know you were saved until the end of time when you either went to heaven or hell. It was the influential evangelist in the early 1800s by the name of Charles Finney who brought out the mourner's bench. He invited people to come forward and kneel at that bench, and when they got up, they would know they were saved.
He was persecuted and ran out of town and, In some cases, lied about and accused by the old guard who didn't believe you could know you were saved. When that revelation of restitution and restoration came to the church, it changed the structure of our beliefs.
That's what Paul the apostle meant when he said, "I know in whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed under him against that day."
You can know with certainty that you have been restored to the Father when you open your spirit, heart, and soul to the truth of God's word.
So, how far does restoration go? The apostle Paul said beyond what you can ask or think. Today's homework: find your meditation chair and let your asking and thinking go wild, and when you're exhausted, you're just heading into God's territory of restoration.
