The LORD gives skillful and godly Wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him.
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭2:6-8‬ ‬

There is a Spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
‭‭Job‬ ‭32:8‬ ‬

There are many verses revealing that God does indeed gift us with His wisdom. None is perhaps as well known for wisdom as King Solomon. “God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore” (1 Kings 4:29).

Praise the name of God forever and ever, for He has all Wisdom and Power. He controls the course of world events; he removes kings and sets up other kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars.”
‭‭Daniel‬ ‭2:20-21‬ ‬

It's important to understand there is end to God's Wisdom. Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unfathomable (inscrutable, unsearchable) are His judgments (His decisions)! And how untraceable (mysterious, undiscoverable) are His ways (His methods, His paths)!
‭‭Romans‬ ‭11:33‬ ‬

God's wisdom and ways are far beyond natural man's understanding. Just as God says… Wisdom and Power belong to Him. God is the Source of Wisdom!

Truly, Wisdom comes from God Alone.
Wisdom is a Gift of God given to man to understand how the whole creation and history reflect the Power, Truth, and Love of God. In this life our deepest understanding of God does not come by reasoning and philosophy, but from our likeness to God through Love. Just As You Understand a Friend Because you love them so you come to Understand God by Loving Him. Therefore, the more one Loves God, the More the Gift of Wisdom Increases in you.

God's Wisdom gives you Divine Knowledge to allow you to see things from God's Perspective.

Wisdom sees the big picture, and focus, each part in its proper relationship to the rest. Wisdom directs you in the best way to achieve a goal, because, the multi-sited wisdom of God is able to integrate, and to fuse together all the factors from their very sources of knowledge and experience to give you God's Direction and Path, for Your Situation or Circumstance. And Only God Knows All the Factors, for He Is ALL KNOWING.

Thus True Wisdom Brings Peace with God, Your Neighbors and Yourself. Just As Jesus Said Blessed Are the Peacemakers. This is Peace of God, comes only from Jesus Who gives to you so that it surpasses all understanding, and guard your heart and mind. (Philippians 4:7).

For Jesus Is been made into Peace. (Ephesians 2:14)
In Him‭ you have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, He has overcome the world. ‬
‭‭John‬ ‭16:33‬ ‬

Jesus said, Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:27‬‬

Wisdom is God-Given Knowledge to Provide you with a more Intimate and Joyful inside into God. He wants you
to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. He wants you to have complete confidence that your heart may be comforted, cheered, and encouraged as you are knit together in Love, that you may come to have all the abounding wealth and blessings of the full assurance of understanding from the Spirit of God, and that you may become progressively more intimately acquainted with and may know more definitely and accurately and thoroughly the knowledge of the Mystery of God, Both of the Father and of Christ. (Colossians 2:2)

In Whom are hidden all the treasures of Divine Wisdom – Comprehensive Insight into the Ways and Purposes of God, and ALL the Riches of Spiritual Knowledge and Enlightenment are stored.
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2:3‬ ‬

The Wisdom of God once hidden from the human understanding is now revealed to us by God – that wisdom which God devised and decreed before the ages for our glorification to lift us into the glory of His presence.
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2:7‬ ‬

The Wisdom of God is found in Christ

the Name God called Himself more than 6000 times in the Old Testament. It appears in every book but Esther, Ecclessastes, and the Song of Solomons. This Name is His Name Most closely linked to the Redeeming acts of God throughout the history of His chosen people.

The origin story of this name for God goes back, to when God is speaking to Moses through the burning bush given him the missoon to free the children of Israel from Egypt captivity. Moses is concerned how he will convey to these people that God really is sending him on this mission and he is blessed by God. I

And God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM and WHAT I AM, and I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE; and He said, You shall say this to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you! God said also to Moses, This shall you say to the Israelites: The Lord, the God of your fathers, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has sent me to you! This is My name forever, and by this name I am to be remembered to all generations. (Exodus ‭3:14-15‬)

His Wonderous Name means He is thebSelf-exisotong One - the I AM Who brings eceruthing into being. The Unchanging Preexistent LORD - I AM Who set All things in place and by Whom All things Consist. (Colossians 1:16-17)

This Name reminds you that you are living in the Presence of the Great I AM. Who is the Unfailing God of Love, Joy, Peace, Mercy, Grace, and Justice; Who Accomplishes the impossible on Behalf of His Children.

I AM - Yahweh Name is His Name Most closely linked to the Redeeming acts of God throughout the history of His chosen people. the Name Yahweh assures you that He will Never Leave you nor Abandon you. (Joshua 1:9, Hebrew13:5)

I Pray You Know the Saving Power of God’s Covenant Name Personally in Your Life.

This Covenant Name reminds you that you are living in the Presence of the Great I AM. The sacredness of God’s name represents all that He is, and so we are instructed to honor His name and not use it in a profane way.

The Name by which God chose to be remembered throughout all generations is Yahweh. In Genesis 3:14 God uses I AM and Yahweh interchangeably, which tells us that I AM is one way for us to translate the name Yahweh.

The Reason His Name I AM WHO I AM and WHAT I AM, and I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE is so significant, because it reflects His Character and Attributes.

For Example, Abraham Means "Father of a Great Multitude." Eve Means "Living" Which Is Feeding Because She Is the Mother of All Living People.

Jesus Names Savior.

What Moses was doing is Asking God to Provide Some Credibility, to the Fantastic Story He Is about to Tell His People. He Is Asking God about His Character in Nature.

God wanted to assure Moses and Israel that God would become what they would need Him to become. In using the words “I AM THAT I AM,” God used an expression to reveal to Moses a promise and pledge found in His name.

The Hebrew words in Exodus 3:14 for “I AM THAT I AM” are ehyeh asher ehyeh which is more accurately be translated “I will be what I will be” or as Rotherham translates it, “I will become whatsoever I may become.”

You see the relationship of this phrase to Yahweh – “He who becometh.” They both use the word “become.” The use of ehyeh asher ehyeh in Exodus 3:14 was God’s way of assuring and pledging to Moses and Israel that God would become whatever they needed Him to become.

Remember the context of the passage in Exodus. The Israelites were crying day and night for deliverance. God was calling Moses to help lead the Israelites out of Egypt bondage. Moses asked God – what is God’s name or what should he say to the Israelites?

In God’s response, He provides a promise to Israel – He would become what they would need Him to become – in this case – their deliverer. This promise found in the name of God can be extended to the world of mankind. God will become what you need Him to become – just as He is the architect for the plan of salvation that will bring you back into harmony with Him. His the Provider of All hour Needs - Spiritually, Phyiscally, Emotionally, etc... - God will become what you need Him to become

Yahweh is His Name! He is the LORD!
We know Him because He came to earth to Love you and Give His Life for you to Spend Eternity with Me.

He is the The Same LORD Who draws you near to Himself to save you, just as He saved His people from the salvery in Egypt.

It is Not in your own strength, for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you drawing you to Himself, energizing and creating in you the power and desire, both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight. (Philippians ‭2:13‬)

The self-description of God and next is 3:14, I AM WHO I AM reveals He is Self Existent and He is ALWAYS present with you. He is not a God who is far off, but the God Who is ALWAYS Near, Intervening on Your Behalf in Ways You May Not Even See.

God's Proper Name Implies a Covenant Relationship. In His Savings Acts throughout the Bible Are Closely Associated with His Covenant Name.

Jesus is also the Great I AM.
• He often affirmed His equality with the Father,
John 14:9 “He who has seen Me has seen the Father.”

John 10:30 “I and the Father are one.”
John 8:58 “Before Abraham was born, I am.”
John 1:1-3 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

Jesus is Still the Great Physician today! He offers forgiveness of your sins and healing for your spirit, soul and body. Hear him say do you just as He said to the paralytic: Your sins are forgiven, arise take up your bed, and walk in newness of life.

The same Son of God, Jesus Who forgave sins and healed in times past, He is the same Son of God, Jesus Christ Himself Who Never Change, He Remains the Same Yesterday Today and Forever! (Hebrews 13:8)

The first thing Jesus does is forgive sin. He gives Mercy for your failures, weaknesses. Surely He has borne your griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried your sorrows and pains [of punishment, And thus He fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, He Himself took in order to carry away your weaknesses and infirmities and bore away our diseases. (Isa. 53:4) Matthew ‭8:17‬

Jesus Forgives and Heals. His Twin Mercies Belong to you! He wants you to know they both belong to you.

You have to appropriate the promises, and receive from God what Jesus bought and paid for with His Own Blood Shed on the Cross. Your job is simply to Believe God! Most Assuredly, All Your Sins Are Forgiven and you are Healed of the Weaknesses, Distresses, Infirmity, Worries, Anxieties, Sicknesses and Diseases.

Once you know all things are possible with God, then you need to know they are possible for you.

God has Good Plans for you.

1. He makes a way when there is no way. I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland. Isaiah ‭43:19‬
“And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.””
‭‭Exodus‬ ‭14:13-14‬ ‬

2. He can close the mouths of lions. Daniel 6:18-22
3. He can open prison doors.
4. He can protect you from the flames of adversity.
5. He can carry you through any storm.
6. Godn is on your side!

Jeremiah 29:11, Romans 8:31

Have you ever been in a situation that you didn't know which way to go, or know how is going to turn out.

We all have and we're not alone, the challenge to trust God even when there seems to be no way out, comes only from his divinely persuading you to do the thing he's directed you to do. And having the courage to do it he provides a way out.

In Genesis 22:9-14 Abraham found himself in such a predicament. God tested and proved Abraham and said to him, Abraham! And he said, Here I am. God said, Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah; and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I will tell you. Genesis 22:2

So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and his son Isaac; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and then began the trip to the place of which God had told him.

On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.

And Abraham said to his servants, Settle down and stay here with the donkey, and I and the young man will go yonder and worship and come again to you.

Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and laid it on the shoulders of Isaac his son, and he took the fire (the firepot) in his own hand, and a knife; and the two of them went on together.

And Isaac said to Abraham, My father! And he said, Here I am, my son. Isaac said, See, here are the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt sacrifice?

Abraham said, My son, God Himself will provide a lamb for the burnt offering. So the two went on together.

When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built an altar there; then he laid the wood in order and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar on the wood. [Matt. 10:37.]

And Abraham stretched forth his hand and took hold of the knife to slay his son. [Heb. 11:17-19.]

But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, Abraham, Abraham!

He answered, Here I am. And He said, Do not lay your hand on the lad or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear and revere God, since you have not held back from Me or begrudged giving Me your son, your only son.

Then Abraham looked up and glanced around, and behold, behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by his horns. And Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering and an ascending sacrifice instead of his son!

So Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide. (El-Shaddai) And it is said to this day, On the mount of the Lord it will be provided.

The Angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time And said, I have sworn by Myself, says the Lord, that since you have done this and have not withheld from Me or begrudged [mgiving Me your son, your only son,

In blessing I will bless you and in multiplying I will multiply your descendants like the stars of the heavens and like the sand on the seashore.

And your Seed (Heir) will possess the gate of His enemies, [Heb. 6:13, 14; 11:12.]

And in your Seed [Christ] shall all the nations of the earth be blessed and [by Him] bless themselves, because you have heard and obeyed My voice. [Gen. 12:2-3; 13:16; 22:18; 26:4; 28:14; Acts 3:25, 26; Gal. 3:16.]”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭22:1-18‬ ‬

Once you understand with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment. (‭‭Luke‬ ‭1:37)‬‬
Then you need to know, “God will make a way when there seems to be no way for you. He has been working all the time on your behalf, in ways you cannot see.

He knows the things you have need of even before you ask him, and because you know Knows the things you need you need, Most Assuredly He has made a way for you.

He gives you his Holy Spirit to be your Helper. God fills you with Himself, and makes His home with you. And by the consequence of his action at work in and working through you, you're able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that you can even ask, hope, think or imagine.

And because your life is hidden with Christ in God, you are being perfectly taking care of by God Himself. He is your Father, and your His Child. And that is what you are! 1 John 3:1.

And since you positively know He knows what you need before you ask him, (Matthew 6:8) and he gives you the power and desire both to will and to want those things that he wants for you; them whatever you ask of him, which is already stirred you to ask – you also know with settled and absolute knowledge that you have granted to you that request you made of Him.
‭‭1 John‬ ‭5:15‬‬

No matter what predicament, problem or difficulty you are facing the Lord has a way when there seems to be absolutely no solution in sight.

God always provides a solution to any problem you, turn your focus to him to see what he would have you to do.

God’s Divine Power and Ability are Infinite. Infinite, of course means limitless. When I say that God is infinite I mean that he knows no bounds. Whatever God is and all that God is, he is without limit. He is Above All, outside of All and beyond All.

But There's More, the Gift of Eternal Life in Christ Jesus is as Limitless as god. You as a born again believer possess God's own life and share His infinitude with Him. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. (Colossians 3:3)

All Things Are Possible with God.

The reason all things are possible is because God has the Power and Ability to Do All Things. And you as a believer have the exceedingly great, immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for you who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly places. Ephesians‬ ‭1:19-20‬ ‬

And by the consequence of His Power
that is at work within you, yor are able to carry out His purpose and do superabundantly, far over and above all that you dare ask or think, infinitely beyond your highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams. Ephesians‬ ‭3:20‬ ‬

The power to achieve by applying the Lord's inherent abilities. "Power through God's ability" needed in every scene of life.

For you labor striving with all the superhuman energy which He so mightily enkindles and works within you. Colossians ‭1:29‬

Just as Jesus said, With men this is impossible, but all things are possible with God. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭19:26‬ ‬

For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment.
‭‭Luke‬ ‭1:37‬ ‬

Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and by Your outstretched arm! There is nothing too hard or too wonderful for You–” ‭‭‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭32:17‬ ‬ ‬‬

1. Lord said and Sarah would have a child in her old age
And the Lord asked Abraham, Why did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I really bear a child when I am so old? Is anything too hard or too wonderful for the Lord? At the appointed time, when the season comes around, I will return to you and Sarah shall have borne a son. Matt. 19:26 ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭18:13-14‬‬

‭‭ ‬2. The LORD'S conception by the Holy Spirit. Luke ‭1:35-38‬
Then the angel said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you [like a shining cloud]; and so the holy Offspring which shall be born of you will be called the Son of God. (Exod 40:34; Isa. 7:14), Luke‬ ‭1:35-38‬ ‬

3. God delivers from the fiery furnace Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, who said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king.”

King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; “Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”

4. Ability to make all grace abound to you
God is able to make all grace, every favor and earthly blessing come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient in His Sufficiency,, possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation.
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭9:8‬ ‭

5. God has the divine power and ability to do immeasurably more than you can ask. And by the consequence of His Power that is at work within you, yor are able to carry out His purpose and do superabundantly, far over and above all that you dare ask or think, infinitely beyond your highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams.
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3:20‬ ‬

6. God empowers you to do all things through Christ who strengthens you. You can boldly confess:
“I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me. I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency,
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:13‬ ‭

7. God saves you completely. Christ is able also to save to the uttermost - completely, perfectly, finally, and for all time and eternity, you who come to God through Him, since He is always living to make petition to God and intercede with Him and intervene for them. Hebrews‬ ‭7:25‬ ‭

8. God keeps you from falling. God infinite ability is able to keep you without stumbling or slipping or falling, and to present you blameless and faultless before the Presence of His glory in triumphant joy and exultation with unspeakable, ecstatic delight. Jude‬ ‭1:24‬ ‭

Additionally Jesus exhibited His Divine Power over nature:
Walking on the Water – Matthew 14:25
Discovering the Tax Money in Officious Man – Matthew 17:27
Calming the Storm at Sea – Mark 4:39
Turning Water into Wine – John 2:7

Many people have questions about their salvation. They’re frustrated to feel uncertainty about such an important issue.

As a Christians you need to have a firm conviction regarding your eternal security. But sometimes even after you’ve placed your trust in Jesus Christ as Savior, you may have doubts about your salvation.

To settle this matter in your heart, you need to understand what God’s Word says about salvation and eternal security. Consider what these verses tell you about salvation:

Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Salvation is the result of God’s grace, not our goodness or performance. Grace is God’s unmerited, undeserved, loving favor. Though we did nothing to deserve it, He chose to save us.


Romans 5:8-9 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.” Since the Lord is holy, and His justice requires a payment for sin, He couldn’t just ignore our wrongdoing. Jesus’ atoning death on the cross was the sacrifice that satisfied His justice, making salvation available to all who would believe in Christ. Now, through the death of His Son we are reconciled back into a relationship with the Father and saved from His wrath (v. 10).

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” Faith in Christ is required for salvation. However, this isn’t merely believing some facts about Him but acknowledging that Jesus is God’s means of salvation and surrendering our lives fully to Him.

Romans 10:9 “If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Confessing Jesus as Lord means we agree that Christ’s death on our behalf provides complete forgiveness of our sin. And we believe that God raised Him from the dead, proving that He accepted Christ’s sacrifice as full payment for our sins.

The Lord doesn’t provide the gift of salvation without also giving us the assurance that it’s yours. That’s why He sent His Spirit to indwell and seal you as His child until the day of your redemption (Eph. 1:13-14). So stand strong in your faith—you were stamped with the the Holy Spirit’s seal as your guarantee of your salvation and cannot be broken by anyone.m

Turn to 1 John 5:10-13, and examine What the Bible says, the witness of the Holy Spirit, the change in a person's life after salvation for the assurance of salvation.

He who believes in the Son of God, that is who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him possesses His Testimony, His divine attestation within himself. He who does not believe God in this way has made Him out to be and represented Him as a liar, because he has not believed, put his faith in, adhered to, and relied on the evidence, the testimony that God has borne regarding His Son. ‭‭1 John‬ ‭5:10‬ ‬

The Spirit Himself thus testifies together with your own spirit, assuring you that you are a child of God. Romans ‭8:16‬

And this is that testimony, that evidence: God gave you eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 1 John ‭5:11‬

He who possesses the Son has that life; he who does not possess the Son of God does not have that life. 1 John ‭5:12‬

I write this to you who believe in, trust in, and rely on the name of the Son of God, in the peculiar services and blessings conferred by Him on men, so that you may KNOW with settled and absolute knowledge that you already have life, yes, eternal life. 1 John ‭5:13‬

Salvation is God’s deliverance from judgment and made partakers of Christ's salvation through your faith. And this salvation is not of yourself, of your own doing, it came not through your own striving, but it is the gift of God
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:8‬ ‭ And as a believer—through Jesus Christ—you have Salvation from all the effects of sin. It is God’s work in that you receive all the benefits He bestows on you now and forever.

If you trust in Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, God will save you from your sin and welcome you into His family (John 1:12)—without regard to merit or worth on your part. Eternal life will be yours.

God sent Jesus from heaven to earth, not to set up a religion, but to make the way for you to have a personal relationship with you through His Son Jesus Christ – God with you – Emmanuel.

Jesus came for you personally, he didn't just call you, He came to you and for you.

Just as the LORD himself promised to give you the sign. He Did! A virgin will conceive a child!

She will bear a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus [which means Savior], for He will save His people from their sins [that is, prevent them from failing and missing the true end and scope of life, which is God]. All this took place that it might be fulfilled which the Lord had spoken through the prophet Isaiah, Behold, the virgin shall become pregnant and give birth to a Son, and they shall call His name Emmanuel–which, when translated, means, God with us. Isaiah 7:14,) Matthew‬ ‭1:21-23‬ ‬

Jesus came from your loving Heavenly Father who sent His Son on a mission to free you from Satan’s power; to provide forgiveness for your sins; to bring you into a beautiful, personal, eternal relationship with the true and the living God who loves you with an everlasting love, who has a wonderful plan that began the moment you receive Him.

The Greatest Gift

God’s gift is permanent; it goes on and on and changes lives. His gift takes us out of the realm of darkness and brings us into the light. It takes us from a place of being aimless, with no connection to our Maker, and brings us into a relationship with Him. Christmas is about God making a way for His estranged children to come home. What a glorious thing it is to know Him. Receive that great gift today!

To Pay Our Debt

Second, Jesus came to give His life as a ransom. “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45).

To Give Us Abundant Life

Third, in John 10:10 we read, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” Jesus came to give us life. Implied in these words is this: Mankind’s view of life isn’t life at all, according to Jesus. He is talking about spiritual things. Remember, because of sin, we were dead. We needed to be made alive, and we have been through faith in Christ. But what we’ve been given is spiritual life; Jesus called it abundant life.

Jesus Came to Give His Life as a Ransom for Many

For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. (Mark 10:45)

Jesus came to give His very life to save yours. He was born into the world so that He could die for the world.

Paul says it this way, “But when the fullness of time had come, the proper time had fully come, [that’s the time of his birth, we celebrate as Christmas], God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem, purchase your freedom to ransom, to atone for you who were under the law, so that you might be adopted and have sonship conferred upon you and be recognized as God's son. (Galatians 4:4-5)

Jesus Came to Give Eternal Life

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)

Now this is the greatest Christmas gift one can receive—the gift of eternal life. Jesus came to give eternal life to whoever believes in Jesus.

Jesus came to seek and save those who are lost. “For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.” – Luke 19:10

Jesus came to give us an example on how to live our lives here on earth. “Just as the Son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” – Matthew 20:28

Jesus came to do the Will of His Father. “For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.” – John 6:38

Jesus came to be a Light shining brightly in our world of darkness. “I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believes on me should not abide in darkness.” – John 12:46

Jesus came so we could have abundant life. “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.” – John 10:10

Jesus came to proclaim the Good News about the Kingdom of God. “And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.” – Mark 1:38

Jesus came to die on a cross for the sins of the world. “Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.” – John 12:27

Jesus Christ came into the world as a demonstration of God’s mercy, grace and unconditional love for you and for me. “In this is love, not that you loved God, but that He loved you and sent His Son to be the propitiation for your sins. – 1 John 4:10

Today’ message is about Friendship with The LORD Himself. When you know Him as your Personal Friend, then you Realize His Love for you Demonstrated on the Cross to be your Friend, even when you did not know Him, (Romans 5:8) that His Care and Help for you in All Things is Infinetly Transceding, above all you can ask, think, hope or imagine. God’s Love is Demonstrate in True Friendship, for He is Love! And Jesus Christ is your Friend.

God offers you a practical and down-to-earth Friendship with Him, saturated with His Glory. A friendship being so intimately in touch with God that you never even need to ask Him to show you His will.
John 15:13-15

Friendship is God's gift to you. And He reveals 7 Qualities that make a True Friend, and a Good Friendship as Seen in Jesus your Best Friend.

1. A True Friend Loves At All Times, And a brother is born for adversity. Proverbs 17:17 A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.

A true friend is steadfast, thus A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity."

Good friends don't look for opportunities to excuse themselves from expressing their love to you, but rather look for opportunities to further express their love to you.

This verse teaches you that love is a trait of a good friend, and a good friend will love you at all times and in any situation—good or bad. Their love is unconditional and is irrespective of the levels of adversity their friend faces. Love is the glue that holds strong friendships together, even in hard and uncertain times. and God is the Love that does not let go of it’s hold on you.

Indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate you from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord Who lives in you.
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:39‬ , Galatians 2:20‬

Christ through your faith actually dwells, has settle down, abides, make His permanent home in your heart! So you may be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love. Ephesians ‭3:17‬

And He Living in you fills you with His Love for others, so you can Love as He Loves, because Christ Lives in you. Galatians 2:20

2. A true friend sticks with you.
A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need. Jesus is your Friend that sticks closer than brother. Proverbs 18:24

3. A Good Friend Sharpens the countenance of His friend. Proverbs 27:17 So, you can sharpens the countenance of your friend. Jesus loves through you others. Jesus loved the unlovable, that you may love them.

God wants people with a positive influence into your personal space. God expects you to lean on him guard your personal space and filter any toxicity that may potentially discourage you.

4. A True Friend Does nothing from Selfish motives, through contentiousness, strife, selfishness, or for unworthy ends or prompted by conceit and empty arrogance. Instead, in the true spirit of humility (lowliness of mind),
A True Friend doesn’t try to impress others. But is humble, thinking of other. They look out not only for their own interests, but look out for the interest of their friend, too. ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:3-4‬ ‬

Good friends respect you.

You must never lower your standards to accommodate unrespectful friends. Respect is one of the building blocks of a good friendship, so if your friendships don't have respect then it might be time to find a solution or simply qq kiss that friendship goodbye.

5. A True Friend does things out of love and pure devotion, not as compulsory command from a servant to master.

Jesus said that there is no greater love than to give your life for someone, even a friend, but there is more to this agape love that Jesus just spoke about in John 15:13.

6. A True Friend Good friends make sacrifices for you.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10:11‬ ‭Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. ‭‭John‬ ‭15:13‬ ‬‬‬

Jesus is the greatest example of a friend, a good friend, and his statement "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" is a true reflection of what He considers as a good friendship.

Sacrifice is a fundamental quality of a good friendship. In (1 Samuel. 18:4)

7. A True Friend Forgives. Jesus came to Forgive, so you to by the Spirit of God in you Forgive others as you yourself have been forgiven by God.

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do.
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭3:12-13‬ ‬

Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

8. A True Friend will pray for you and with you.
“Who is there to condemn you? No one—for Christ Jesus died for you and was raised to life for you, He is sitting at the right hand of God in the place of honor, Who is actually pleading for you as He intercedes for you. Romans ‭8:34‬

Today you'll discover that God is in Control, so that whenever you are afraid, anxious or worried, you can have confidence in and put your trust and reliance in God. Psalm ‭56:3‬

You can praise His word, In God you can put my trust; do not not fear. What can flesh do to me? Psalms ‭56:3-4‬

You can call upon the Lord; the Lord will answer you me and set You free and in a safe place. The Lord is on your side; so you can say: I will not fear.

For God did give you a spirit of fear or anxious thougths or worries, but He has given you a spirit of power and of love and of a calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭1:7‬ ‬

Yes, The Lord is on your side and takes your part, He is among those who help you; it is better to put your Trust in God than to put confidence in man.
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭118:5-8‬ ‬

Anxiety (Worry) is a tool of the enemy to draw a person away from God with the purpose of fracturing or dividing or distracting their mind (a Firery Dart of the Enemy- Ephesians 6:16, which you use the shield of Faith to quench). This will be covered more in podcast.

First understand what anxiety is from God’s perspective, not man’s. The word is merimnáō in the Greek, it means to draw in different direction, to divided into parts, and to go to pieces..

The objective is to pull a person apart in different directions to cause concern over what God has in-birthed in them by His Holy Spirit, this is the force exerted by sinful anxiety (worry).

God says: Do Not Be Anxious about anything. Phillipians 4:6.
He says: Stop being perpetually uneasy anxious and worried about your life.
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:25‬ ‬
Therefore do not worry and be anxious, saying (Don’t Speak your Worry, Speak what God Says) Matthew ‭6:31‬

The reason is simple:
For your Father already knows what you need before you ask Him. Matthew ‭6:8‬

The Antidote for anxiety is Gratitude, Giving of Thanks for God’s Grace. For Jesus says to you: My Grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
II Corinthians 12:9-10

Then the Holy Spirit adds:
And God is able to make all grace, every favor and earthly blessing, come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient, possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation.
2 Corinthians 9:8

My Words (truths) that I have spoken to you are Spirit and Life. For His Word comes from the Father Who Sent Him – for He is the Word of God That Became Flesh He Was with the Father from the Beginning. John 6:63, 1:1-4, 14

For the Word of God is alive and full of power, making it active, operative, energizing, and effective; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life, your you, and your immortal spirit, and the joints and marrow of the deepest parts of our nature, exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4:12‬ ‬

The Scriptures are the Word of God. The life-giving Holy Spirit breathes New Life in You through the Word of God.

Say what the word of God says out loud, on your knees. God says:

1. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6, 7). God invites you to come to Him with all your concerns and needs; He longs to help you find positive solutions to your problems.

2. “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (John 14:27). It’s no ordinary peace Jesus offers you, but a powerful peace that works to eclipse your fear and anxiety.

3. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths” (Proverbs 3:5, 6). If you’re anxious over choices you must make, put your entire faith in the God of your life and He will steer you in the right direction.

4. “Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved” (Psalm 55:22). God wants you to lean on Him for support; He will carry all your burdens and keep you from slipping.

5. Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection.”

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful (Colossians 3:12-15). God will drive out your anxious thoughts and fill your heart and mind with peace when you focus on Him.

The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd risks and lays down His [own] life for the sheep. [Ps. 23.]”
‭‭John‬ ‭10:10-11‬ ‬

Father God,
I Rejoice in the LORD! I AM joyful in You the Victorious God of my salvation! Habakkuk 3:18

‭You are the Lord God Who is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places of trouble, suffering, or responsibility!‬
‭‭Habakkuk‬ ‭3:19‬ ‬

God is for you, who can ever be against you? Who can be your foe, God is on your side? Ps. 118:6, Romans ‭8:31‬

He who did not withhold or spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, and He also with Him freely and graciously give you all other things? Romans ‭8:32‬

Listen, nothing Can Ever separate you from Christ’s love.
Nothing means nothing, God loves you even when you have trouble or calamity or distress, or are in pain, persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or even threatened with death. Romans ‭8:35‬

No, despite all these things, you are more than a conqueror and gain a surpassing overwhelming victory through Christ Who loved you. Romans ‭8:37‬

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans ‭8:38-39‬

Call upon the LORD out of you distress; the LORD will answer you and set you free and in a large place. The LORD is on my side; DO not fear. What can man do to me? YES, so you can take comfort and are encouraged and confidently and boldly say, The LORD is my Helper; I will not be seized with alarm, I will not fear or dread or be terrified]. What can man do to me? [Ps. 27:1;118:6.]Hebrews ‭13:6‬

The LORD is on uour side and takes your part, He is among those who help you; therefore shall I see your desire established upon those who hate you.
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭118:5-7‬ ‬

“Behold, God is my helper and ally; the Lord is my upholder and is with them who uphold my life. The Lord keeps me alive. Psalm ‭54:4‬

Christ in you gives you the Power to be Positive and Hopeful, not in your own Strength, but His Strength that works Most Effective in your weakness.
2 Corinthians 12:9

God gives Power to the weak and weary, and He increases strength to the Powerless. Isaiah 40:29

‭Do not be grieved and depressed, defected or sad, for the JOY of the LORD is your strength and stronghold.‬
‭‭Nehemiah‬ ‭8:10‬ ‬

The Good News is God Himself is utterly Committed to your Everlasting Joy!
He never stops doing Good for you. He puts a desire in your heart to worship Him, and He will never leave you. He finds Joy doing good for you. ‭Because your Joy is tied to His Glory. ‬Jeremiah 32:40-41

True Joy is the Awareness of God’s Grace extended to you personally through experiencing His Undeserved and Unmerited Favor. Recognizing Grace fills you with His Joy. Yes, your joy will overflow! John 15:11

Joy burns out the Pain of Past Failures. The Joy of LORD is your Strength, Who lives in you and the Fruit of His Spirit produces His Joy in you. Rejoice in the LORD Always!
Nehemiah 8:10, Galatians 5:22

Rejoice in the Lord always, delight youself in Him; again I say, Rejoice! Philippians 4:4

God shows you the path of life; in His presence is fullness of JOY, at His right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
Psalm 16:11

The God of your hope so fills you with all Joy and peace in believing through the experience of your faith, that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing bubbling over with hope. Romans ‭15:13‬

To see True Joy you make a choice to refuse to live your life by your feelings and emotions and live by faith, God's Divine persuasion is He he inbirted through the Power of His Love, while you actively wait for God's fulfillment. (Hope)

Such hope never disappoints or deludes or shames us, for God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has been given to us. Romans‬ ‭5:5‬ ‭
