Speaker 1 (00:00):
Mary, Mary, Merry Christmas. It has arised you all. You
are all Merry Christmas. I'm Pastor Cynthia, and I am
so glad to spend some of my Christmas, even if
it's just a little bit with you, Andy, ma'am. This
is my Christmas gift to you. It's Christmas time and
(00:24):
everyone's opening gifts and singing and of course that thing
we all love eating. And you know, I just said, well,
I wanna go Lord and bless the people and perhaps
cheer up someone who's feeling a little you know, not
so cheerio like the rest of us. And it's okay,
(00:48):
It's okay because you know, in the Bible, that's what
I love so much about King David. God shows us
the good, the bad, and ugly about King David and
being a believer and this Christian life on this journey,
there's good, bad and ugly. Someone during this time and
(01:10):
this day have lost a loved one, have broken up,
feel rejected, been divorced or getting a divorce. Some may
not have had the money to celebrate like they so desired,
so they're feeling a little down in their spirits, you know.
But I tell you what, every year Christmas comes, so
(01:36):
you prepare for it, and sometimes life unexpectancies happens. You're
not prepared for that. But Christmas still comes. So what
do you do. You thank God for where you are
right now, because it could have always been worse, and
you celebrate in the name of Jesus. You give the
(01:58):
devil a black eye, and you celebrate the reason for
this season, the rival our King, of our King from
heaven to earth to show us the way to bring
and us showing the Kingdom of God hope, peace, love
(02:20):
and joy, faithfulness. Amen. And so that's Christmas, cause that's
what Jesus came for to take our sins. He who
knew no sin became sin, to become sin for us
so that we wouldn't have to be punished to suffer
the wrath of God. But because of our belief in
(02:42):
the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit faith in
the name of Jesus Christ, we can have a life
of abundancy and peace even when it's not good. The
peace that Jesus leave and give that surpasses all understanding.
This peace is the peaces in the Kingdom of God.
(03:03):
So when Christmas come, you can still celebrate even though
it hurt. Jesus told us, trouble will come, but look
at him, our Jehovah NISI, and walk through the storms
of life on the water. Amen and Amen. So I
(03:25):
say to you who are there and just feeling a
little down trodden because you're missing a loved one who
prayerfully has gone on home to be with our Lord
and savior, Jesus, you don't have to be lonely. You
may still feel it, but know that you're loved, and
this is how you know you loved. Or this day
that we celebrate God, the Father sent his son, our King,
(03:50):
to deliver us from depression, from pain, sicknesses, diseases, sorrows,
and rejection by looking at what he done for us,
because the Bible say he took our sins, he bore
our sicknesses, he carried our pains, and he was put
to sorrow for us. He was put to sickness for us.
(04:14):
Jesus came to heal the broken hearted, and he can
through understanding what l hope, peace, love and joy is
that even in the midst of sorrow, you're still loved
and you can get through this cause He is with you,
and he paid to price to send back the Holy
(04:35):
Spirit to comfort you during this time? Is that alright? Aymen,
ain't man, ain't mad? So I just was thinking about
my listeners and people who may be alone. I want
them to know you are not alone. I have any
fathers with you. Emmanuel. God is with us. God is
(04:56):
with us. God with us. Praise God. You are loved
by the Father and accepted into the Beloved. You don't
have to go through nothing to try to please no one.
You don't have to change you know why. I'm'a do
this and you don't like doing that, you know, feeling uncomfortable? No,
(05:17):
just you know, Lord, show me how to love you back,
how to live this Christian life for you, and he will.
He most certainly will you start focusing on how to
live pleasingly before God. Like in the Book of Ephesians,
Paul writes to the Ephesians cause they were gentiles and
(05:42):
they were living now as newly converts until the chr
Christian faith and belief in Jesus, our Lord and Savior,
someone who came from heaven and Earth, lived, died, and
was resurrected like he promised. He fulfilled the promise of
resurrection and ascended and you know they believe this, this
(06:04):
new belief, this new found faith in Jesus, our Lord
and Savior, the Christ a man, and they believed in
his healing power and his deliverance. And you know all
the great stories they had heard that they were living
in a place there nobody else believed accept them. So
(06:26):
Paul wrote a letter to encourage them, praised God and
remind them who they were and were not an And
you know, to put on the armor because you know
these people that's trying to persecute you or come against you,
it's not them, it's evil, wicked spirits. And so you know,
(06:49):
I wanna encourage you that more trouble will come. You
may have been rejected or divorced or broken up with
or and financial ruins. You may be current there at
this moment in financial ruins. You didn't get to celebrate
like you so desire. You lost your money, you lost
(07:11):
your job, You lost the loved one I shouldn't say lost.
You know where they are. Your loved one has gone on.
You're sick in your body. That doesn't mean Jesus doesn't
love you and that he's not with you it cause
it's already he already has worked it out. Just trust him,
go through the valley of the Shadow of Death, giving
(07:32):
it all to him, and just go through knowing he's
with you. You gonna come out your joy cometh in the
morning first Peter five and seven. Cast your care upon him,
because he cares. The devil was seeking whom he made
devour walking around as a roaring lion. He's not a lion,
(07:54):
he's just pretended. But Jesus, who is the lion of
the tribe of Judah, who has knocked the teeth out
the devil and knocked his legs from under him. When
you believe this, you'll have brighter days. And then one
day and suddenly you'll be able to be a witness.
(08:15):
Cause everything has turned out alright. All things work together
for the good of those who love the Lord. Amen,
So be encouraged, Praise God, be encouraged. I know these
things have happened, but you gotta trust him to God,
give 'em to him, and don't worry about it. If
you're gonna worry, don't pray. If you're gonna pray, don't worry.
(08:37):
Amen and amen and amen, cause I know you know
your hearts are heavy. What beds it well, is gonna
had the buddy on it. But you're here in the
land of the Living. Well, I'm so sick, but my
loved one's so sick. We gonna pray about that, and
God's going to heal well. I can't promise you that
(08:58):
because people you're fa you believe, and just like Jesus said,
be it done unto you as you believe, be it
done unto you as you believe, am'am m. So I'm
gonna go on back, and you know again, wish you
all to marry Christmas, and I'm gonna pray with you
(09:24):
that at this moment or whatever you going through, that
you do that trust it to God and give it
to him. He is to lift up your head when
you trust him. He will make everything alright when you
trust him. It's something you have to do. I can
tell you and a billion other people can tell you this,
(09:46):
but it's something that you have to believe for yourself.
Is that alright? Amen? Let's go boldly to the throne
of God for this Christmas. If your heaveny Father hollowed
be their name, We come to you, Father, God, Great
(10:06):
God Almighty, in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord
and Savior, saying thank you for this Christmas Day that
you've given us, that you've blessed us to see. Thank you,
Lord Lord. Some people didn't get what they wanted or
their house desires, or they're feeling lonely and sad and sorrow.
(10:32):
And in the name of Jesus, Lord, I aks you
to remove that spirit of sorrow and sadness from them.
Men they've broken heart, heal their broken heart, heal the
stroke of their wounds. Lord, whatever they may be, I
aks you to heal their bodies, not just their bodies,
(10:56):
but their loved one's bodies. Some of 'em are at
the hospital, Lord, Lord, sitting on the side of the
bed of a sick loved one. Lord, send your healing
virtue to heal that body. Because your son, our Savior,
has already been put through the beatings, the whippings, so
(11:18):
that they their loved ones, can be healed, can be
delivered from addictions. Will you do that for us? Father,
we aks, cause we come together we know you're able,
and we aks will you and we believe that you will?
And say thank you in Jesus' name. In Jesus' name Lord,
(11:43):
I thank you that it's not your will that they
should be lonely or sorrowful. Send your anointing that removed
the burdens and destroy the yolks. This I aks in
the name of Jesus, Lord, and I aks you to
touch their hearts, to cast all their cares upon you,
because you care about them. You've already demonstrated that in
(12:07):
John three sixteen. Thank you Heaveny Father. Now Lord, they
have lost love on sons and daughters, mothers and fathers,
nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, grandparents. I pray for
their lost love on salvation this Christmas. Will you save
(12:27):
the Lord? Will you draw them to you so that
they can come to you with a running that they
wanna be saved, to be delivered? And I know you will.
And I thank you Father, Thank you Jesus. This woman
and God that show me this woman is really Chriet.
(12:49):
She's the one at the hospital and now she's crying
for her children. But I cried unto the old Lord,
you heal and heal her heart, say her lost children.
We together agree and asks you for that and say
thank you. We pray for her children salvation and those
(13:11):
who have backs, letting drawn back to your father. This
we ask in the mighty name of Jesus, and we
thank you. Praise your name Jesus for healing, saving and
delivering and restoring. Praise your name Jesus. Amen and Amen. Well,
(13:36):
I enjoyed my little chat and the word of encouragement
to you, and thank you all for listening. And yes
you're going to like maybe still feel some type of way,
but keep pressing, pressing and giving God the praise and
glory worshiping him. We're in reading the word, believing the word,
and applying it. Amen. Marry, Merry Christmas, and the great
