CELEBRATE WITH THE SHEPHERDS - A host of angels appeared and the glory of the Lord blazed across a darkened sky. The shepherds were shaken with awe and wonder, to the point of fear.

First, a host of angels appeared and the glory of the Lord blazed across a darkened sky. The shepherds were shaken with awe and wonder, to the point of fear.

God gave us the greatest gift of all when He sent His son to be Emmanuel, God with Us.

It’s easy to become overwhelmed by the busyness of the Christmas season.

But a supernatural encounter with the King of Kings can change all that.

It certainly transformed the shepherds.

First, a host of angels appeared and the glory of the Lord blazed across a darkened sky.

The shepherds were shaken with awe and wonder, to the point of fear.

In fact, the angels had to reassure them because they were “sore afraid!”

But once they realized the magnitude of what they’d been told, they could hardly contain their joy!

They raced to Bethlehem to find the Messiah lying in a manger and worship Him.

What a glorious scene that must have been!

God gave us the greatest gift of all when He sent His son to be Emmanuel, God with Us.

As you make time to worship Him during this busy holiday season, I pray that you will experience supernatural miracles, just like the shepherds did on that starry night so long ago.

May all the awe and wonder of that first Christmas be yours today!

God bless you,

AUTHORITY OVER SATAN - Because you are now born of God, you are able to resist the devil - now you have the power of the Name of Jesus and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and you can be filled to overflowing with the Holy Ghost - the god of this world no longer has any dominion over you - Have you received Jesus as your Lord and Savior? If not, you can do it now. Receiving Jesus is easy to do. You need to recognize that you are a sinner and are being dominated by the god of this world, Satan. By accepting the blood of Jesus as the sacrifice for your sins, you can become born again, spiritually. Then God will take you from spiritual death to spiritual life. Your life can be changed right now by praying this simple prayer from your heart: "Jesus, I know I'm a sinner. I know I'm lost, but I want You to come into my heart and save me. So I receive you now as my Savior and I make You the Lord of my life." Now you have been born again supernaturally! As Scripture says: "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." The last phrase of this verse in The Amplified Bible says, "Behold, the fresh and new has come!" Another translation says, "He is a new species of being that never before existed." Now you have the power of the name of Jesus and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and you can be filled to overflowing with the Holy Ghost.

Authority Over Satan

.

Because you are now born of God, you are able to resist the devil - now you have the power of the Name of Jesus and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and you can be filled to overflowing with the Holy Ghost - the god of this world no longer has any dominion over you

Written by Keith Butler

^“Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.” - Luke 10:19 English Standard Version (ESV)

Have you received Jesus as your Lord and Savior?

If not, you can do it now. Receiving Jesus is easy to do.

You need to recognize that you are a sinner and are being dominated by the god of this world, Satan.

By accepting the blood of Jesus as the sacrifice for your sins, you can become born again, spiritually.

Then God will take you from spiritual death to spiritual life.

Your life can be changed right now by praying this simple prayer from your heart:

"Jesus, I know I'm a sinner. I know I'm lost, but I want You to come into my heart and save me. So I receive you now as my Savior and I make You the Lord of my life."

Now you have been born again supernaturally!

As Scripture says:

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17).

The last phrase of this verse in The Amplified Bible says, "Behold, the fresh and new has come!"

Another translation says, "He is a new species of being that never before existed."

Now you have the power of the name of Jesus and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, and you can be filled to overflowing with the Holy Ghost.

God's Word says, "He (the Holy Spirit) Who lives in you is greater (mightier) than he (the devil) who is in the world" (1 John 4:4 AMP).

Guess what? The god of this world no longer has any dominion over you.

Because you are now born of God, you are able to resist the devil.

God's Word says, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you" (James 4:7).

God's intention is that mankind be out from under Satan's boot. By reversing roles, you can now put your boot on his neck and keep him underfoot!

(If you prayed that prayer for the first time today, we would like to hear from you. Please e-mail us at mydestiny@cfaith.com and tell us about your decision to accept Christ. We want to rejoice with you. God Bless You!)
