Merry Christmas And A Prosperous New Year In Christ Jesus, Amen!

“Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.”

“And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.”

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
—Luke 2:10-14(KJV)

May you feel the peace and presence of the Lord Jesus Christ during this Christmas season.

Suffering, Pain and Evil: Why Does God Allow them?


Prayer's avatarPrayer Haven

Suffering, Pain and Evil: Why Does God Allow them? It is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment (Hebrews 9:27).

God is still there despite any tragedy you may be experiencing. But why does God allow suffering?

The Bible says that Job suddenly lost all of his wealth and his children. The devil said to God, “If You take all those possessions away from him, he’ll curse You and turn from You.” But God replied, “You can do anything to him, except you can’t kill him, and then we’ll see” (Cf. Job 1:11-12).

Job never asked why those things were happening to him. The closest he ever came was when he said, “Show me why You contend with me” (Job 10:2). Job was sharing his agony of spirit with the very God he could not understand.

Suffering carries a message of mystery. The Bible says, “Great…

To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not grievous, but for you it is safe. 2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. 3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

Do not be conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of the mind that you may be able to prove what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God ( Roman 12:2).

There is something the devil constantly does to the believer daily. It is called mind game. At times when we approach God, we come with our senses. Please leave your senses most especially when it not aligning with God’s word. You cannot run this race and overrun the devil with your senses. The scripture tells us in Genesis 3 that Satan is very subtle. If you hang around him long enough, he will deceive you. Jesus said to us that even the very elect could be deceived (Mark 13:22).

Tips For Stress Free Happy Christmas Holidays

During this holiday season, I hope that you started working smart by getting your gifts and shopping done early. Safety tips for you this Christmas holiday season:

1. Be proactive. If you haven’t gotten your shopping done, go NOW or later on tonight. Due to cold weather, most people try to be in by 9 or 10pm.

2. Make a list before you go. That way you don’t forget anything and have to drive back in crazy traffic.

3. Stock up on everything that you need so you can spend more time with family vs running around going crazy.

4. Start cooking early. People wait till the day of to start cooking. Prepare turkey and food Sunday or even Monday to be ahead of the game.
