Prayers leading to Christmas – 10

O Lord God help me to be focused on you and your Holy Word. Give me the understanding of your laws, promises and blessings. Grant by your Holy Spirit that I grow in the knowledge and experience of your Son Jesus Christ. Save me from all wisdom that is earthly, sensual and demonic, so that I receive your graces without any hindrance. Let me experience your love as I read the Scriptures and meditate on them. Cause me to experience your deliverance and healing as I pray to you O Lord. Help me to know you more and more as I walk with you. I ask this in the name of your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.

Quick reminder : Focus on Jesus as you engage in spiritual battles

“Any battle for victory, power, and deliverance – from ourselves and from sin – which is not based constantly upon the gazing and the beholding of the Lord Jesus, with the heart and life lifted up to Him, is doomed to failure.” – Alan Redpath

A reminder of God’s love for those who believe in Christ

For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:7-8)

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. (1 John 3:1-3)

In your walk with God sometimes you may face temptations, sometimes you might be rejected by those who reject Christ our Lord and sometimes you might flying high above the opposition. What will sustain you and keep you from losing faith? It is none than your relationship with God. Christianity is ultimately is about being in a relationship with God in Christ Jesus. A relationship has emotions involved. God does express his emotions.

For those who believe in Christ the most prominent emotion by God is love. God loves you a lot. You cannot earn God’s love. There is no good deed that can cause him to love you more. All you need to do is to receive his love. Don’t block yourself out of the love of God by depending on worthless human tradition, self-abasement and worldly philosophies. Receive his love through his Son Jesus Christ. Christ’s love for us exceeds anything and everything. No one could possibly love you more. You sin is atoned for by Jesus Christ. Live no longer for the sinful world nor for any sin. Receive the freedom that Christ gives you through his redeeming sacrifice and shedding of his blood for you. Overcome because you believe in Jesus the overcomer of the world. Be holy therefore as the Lord your God is holy.

Trust in the Lord your God with your heart. Believe in his love for he is near to all who call on his name, in faith.

Christ be with you!
