Do you feel a distance between you and God? Whatever the reason is, you can draw near to Jesus and He will draw near to you. He is standing with open arms, ready to receive you. When Jesus comes, He comes to bless, to save, to heal, deliver and to do miracles and give us a wonderful, blessed life. Jesus is our Shepherd who gave His life for us because He loves us and wants to bring us into safe places.

We are in a spiritual warfare and God has given us the armor to have victory over the enemy. The Bible says that the helmet is the hope of salvation. We need to keep the helmet of salvation on our head. It’s the hope in Christ, not in our intellect or whatever else, but the hope in Him and full dependency upon Him.

The Bible says in Isaiah 25:6: ‘On this mountain the Lord will prepare a meal.’ He prepared a meal for us, what is that meal? It is Christ Himself; we must eat from His flesh - the meat that God has prepared for us – to enjoy His life, His goodness, love, healing and restoration.

When Cain took the life of his brother Abel, the innocent blood of Abel cried out to God for justice and vengeance. The blood of Abel had a voice, but the blood of Jesus has a greater voice! It is shed for us on the cross of Calvary and speaks of forgiveness for us who are guilty and stained with sin. Because of His blood we are free from sin, guilt, the power of the enemy and even death! We have received eternal life through the blood of Jesus Christ.

Have you ever wrestled with God in prayer? This message will encourage you and inspire you to be someone who loves to pray, to call unto the Lord and be faithful in your prayers and believe that all things are possible today.

We read in the Bible that Jesus was a man for all people. It doesn’t matter who you are in society: you can come to Jesus. You can come to Jesus today just as you are.

David Maasbach prays this special prayer for you. Regardless of the trials we face during the Christmas season, the gift we need the most is the One who longs to live in our hearts.

It’s still the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ that transforms lives by the power of the Holy Ghost. If we are going to be successful as ministers of the gospel, we should have a message to preach: Christ! The same power Jesus had in Him when He opened blind eyes is the same power you have when you receive the Holy Ghost so God’s power can be channeled through your life.

There is so much depth in the first words that are recorded of Jesus in the Bible when he was twelve years old. Jesus knew at twelve years old what His mandate was. He knew His Fathers purpose for Him on earth. God also has a purpose for your life. Do you feel that urgency to be in your Father’s business?

In whatever circumstance you may be in your life, in the midst of dark times, problems and things you don’t know how to get through, choose to step out of that darkness and step into that light and the sun of His blessing. Maybe there is bitterness in your life because of circumstances or experiences. But today, right now, God wants to turn that bitterness into sweetness.
