DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  ISAIAH 7:14

(14)  Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign;  Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

IMMANUEL!

Grace be unto you!  From the past generations to present times, God, the Father, had performed, miracles, signs, and wonders within his creation;  therefore, he requires believers when in doubt of him, what is going on in their lives, or want to discern his presence in any situation, to ask him for extraordinary miracles, signs, and wonders;  stay on course, he will manifest his promises!

In a nutshell;  the enemies of King Ahaz, the son of Uzziah, rose up against him, but the LORD was on his side, therefore, he said unto the King,  "Ask me of any sign, either in the depth or in the height above.",  but, the King replied, I will not ask neither will I tempt the LORD;  then, Isaiah prophesied,  Hear ye now,  O house of David;  Is it a small thing for you to weary men;  but, will ye weary my God also?  "...... Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.";  essentially, the LORD, spoke to the King, to ask of him a sign that he would deliver him from his enemies, but the King would not challenge his God,  therefore, the LORD himself promised his people that he would send them a deliverer, whose name shall be called Immanuel:  Immanuel in Hebrew means, "GOD with us.";  therefore, in the Advent season, we look forward to receive the LORD into our midst;  however, the LORD already came in a form of a person called Jesus Christ, crucified, shed his blood, buried in a tomb, resurrected from the graveyard, delivered his people from the bondage of iniquities, grant salvation, grace and eternal lives to those who would come and accept him as their Lord and Savior, the door is open, come!

Beloved,  today, there are a couple of lessons to take from the above text, first of all, if we are the redeemed of the Lord, there is no "but or if's with him, he requires us not to doubt his promises, but believe that they will come to pass, it is the enemy who plants evil imaginations into hearts of the man, to doubt his ways, refute his deceptions, believe in Jesus;  secondly, when the man is at a crossroad of life, seek the will of the LORD through prayers, the door is wide open at any time, to ask Jesus any question pertaining to petitions, discern his will for our lives;  therefore, let us not make drastic decisions about dreams, visions, and prophecies, test the spirits, double check the messages to discern if what we received, aligned with the previous promises of the LORD, pray for guidance before we miss out on the true promises of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior;  there are never "but's or if's with Jesus, his promises are "Yeses and Amens."  therefore, let us trust in him.  Love one another as ourselves!  Have a Very Merry Christmas!  Peace and Love be to you!  Amen and Amen!

WORD OF WISDOM:

(KJV.)  Ecclesiastes 11:10  Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh:  for childhood and youth are vanity.
