THIS IS WHY…
As a Christian, uncompromising, Jesus is my everything and if I had to live on Earth alone until Heaven, I wouldn’t. I wouldn’t be alone. The Lord of all never leaves me, never forsakes me – but He allows me to walk away and become an apostate if I so choose. I will not.
I am making a statement today and always on this journey: Jesus paid it all!
Selah.
Christmas is the celebration of His birth and of His gift of salvation. Salvation is not just being forgiven of my sins, it is the healing also of my body and my soul. It is my prosperity. God truly does bind up the brokenhearted.
The celebration of Christ cannot hurt you. Can’t hurt anyone. Jesus came to save the sick and dying, the broken, the hateful, the doubter. He came to save you and me. He came in the form of a baby, born of a virgin. He came. Jesus did everything He set out to do. The Father, Christ’s and mine, was pleased. I am pleased with everything Christ and the Father and the Spirit have ever done: One God in Three Persons. The Godhead, the Deity, the Trinity, is holy, holy, holy…
So do not say anything at all to me about Christmas being bad, about it being a disappointment, about Christmas being commercialized. Jesus Christ doesn’t sell anything. He gave!
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
If you are disillusioned in your beliefs about Christmas (again: this is the celebration of Messiah’s birth, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ) rethink your dumb ideas and change them to truth: Jesus is the King of kings, LORD of lords, Alpha, Omega, Son of God, Son of Man and His birthday, which His believers celebrate every December 25, is a holy and wonderous – always!
IT IS OUR HOLIDAY… HAVE A REAL CHRISTMAS!
And: celebrate our conquering Christ always! Celebrate with victory! Celebrate without fear! Celebrate with joy!
It is the Christians’ holiday: and only our holiday!
Growing up in a home without the love for God, an invalid father, heavy financial hardships, and tremendous (sometimes dangerous) discord is always difficult. Add on to that extreme shyness, a feeling of inferiority, and some may think this girl was rejected. But God’s hand was on her and His heart was for her. Today, Ann Marie Turner has performed many great services in Jesus’ name for the love of God and man; and for herself! She has ministered in the male correctional for over ten years. Along with this website, Ann is the author of Joy Stories, Volume One and The Free Incarcerated Man. Writing about the joy of the Lord and the victory that is available for a willing soul is one of Ann’s now greatest joys! Ann’s prayer for you is to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony. Celebrate the God of the Bible and your personal victories in Christ unceasingly! Revelation 12:11 They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
