Happy Birthday to WONDERFUL SAVIOR, THE WORD...Jesus Christ...Cooperation is spelled with two letters: W E...WELL, today is 'W' Day in the alphabet, the 23rd letter of the Alphabet, & December...Look WITH me at 'W' WORDS today as WE prepare our Hearts & Minds for Christmas 2017...

The first 'W' I WANT to share is from the book of Numbers 23:23 "WHAT hath God WROUGHT?...This WAS the 'First' message ever tapped out on the Telegraph, by Samuel F.B. Morse in 1832... on wires that had been strung from Baltimore to Washington D. C....Technology has come a long way baby since that Communications Miracle! WONDER WHAT Sam WOULD think about a WORLD gone WIRELESS?

Of course, God has always been 'Just a Prayer away! And in John 14:6, Jesus said, "I am the WAY, the Truth, and the Life...Not only that, but John said in John 1:1 "In the beginning WAS the WORD, and the WORD WAS WITH God, and the WORD WAS God."

Proverbs 8:12 says, "I, WISDOM, dwell WITH prudence, and find out knowledge of WITTY inventions...In Reality, God has made it All..."For WE are all His WORKMANSHIP, created in Christ Jesus unto GOOD WORKS, WHICH God has before ordained that WE should WALK in them." Ephesians 2:10...

For unto us a Child is Born, unto us a Son is Given...And His name shall be called WONDERFUL...Isaiah 9:6...

Jesus said in John 4:14...But WHOSOEVER drinks of the WATER that I shall give, shall never thirst;But the WATER that I shall give shall be a WELL of WATER springing up into Everlasting Life. How WONDERFUL is that?

One announcement of Jesus' Birth came to Shepherds, WHO WERE keeping WATCH over their Sheep by night. Luke 2: 8...

David said in Psalm 37:96..."Those that WAIT on the Lord shall inherit the Earth." Certainly, all of those that had WAITED for centuries received a Great Blessing that night, and lowly Shepherds WERE at the forefront...They WERE among the first to see the Babe WRAPPED in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger....

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not WANT...So heartening to hear about 'Layaway Angels' that are paying off layaway debts for thousands across the country. Jesus has also paid our debt, as the Perfect Lamb of God, The Light of the WORLD paid our 'Sin Debt'...Glory!

David said in Psalm 139:23 & 24: "Search me, O God, and know my heart, try me, and know my thoughts...And see if there be any WICKED WAY in me, and lead me into the WAY everlasting."...

Jesus is also called a WATCHMAN, and a WALL OF FIRE (Zechariah 2:5), The WORD, and WORM AND NO MAN.....Psalm 22:6: " But I am a WORM AND NO MAN, and despised of the people...How sad that our Lover WAS hated & rejected...both then & today...But please not us, as WE approach Christmas...May we be WITNESSES, and WORSHIPPERS...

Praying above all that our names WILL be found WRITTEN in the Lamb's Book of Life.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Day 22 in 26 Alphabetical days of Christmas...

Happy Birthday to the VINE who gives us the VICTORY, not through His birth, which was VERY wonderful, but through His death & resurrection as the first fruits of those that sleep...

Let's VANISH despair, and take hold of all of the VIM & VIGOR we can on this Fab Fry, three days before Christmas 2017...VERILY! VERILY! Let's VOW to have a VERY Merry Christmas!

A VIRGIN did conceive! Shepherds did VISIT! Angel VOICES did sing 'Glory to God in the Highest! .....that Holy Night in Bethlehem...

33 years later, Jesus requested that everyone that would follow Him should hear His VOICE: Behold! I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears my VOICE, and opens the door, I will come in to them, and will sup with them, and they with Me." (Revelation 3:20)

Jesus said, "Except you abide in the VINE, you can do nothing. Jesus is the VINE; we are the branches...All else is is VANITY...We can be a VICTIM or a VICTOR by allowing Him to change our VILE body into one like His Glorious Body, as Paul said in Phillipians 3:21....

May we be VIBRANT & make our body a VESSEL of honor...

Paul asks in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20:

Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own;

You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

What we are is God's Gift to us....What we Become...is Our Gift to God....

Jesus, The Good Shepherd, wants us to hear His VOICE, as 'Sheep of His Pasture', and 'Follow Him'...He wants to lead us through the 'Valley of the Shadow of Death' as it says in the 23rd Psalm....There can be 'No Darkness' with The Light of the World...

Eleven years ago (October 6, 2006 to January 10, 2007), I was flat on my back in UVA Hospital at Charlottesville, undergoing three 'Brain' surgeries & fifteen 'Lumbar Punctures', getting about a pint of excess spinal fluid each time. (Dr. Jane wanted to send me home w/o a drainage bag on my side.)...During that four month time period, I prayed the Alphabet constantly...

A to Z many times a day & all night long....(Words still fascinate me today & this is the reason I am doing 26 alphabetical days of Christmas this year)...

Talking to God in this way was the 'Only' thing that gave me peace...Realizing, that I was VERY close to death...

My family was told that if I survived, I would likely have to learn how to walk & talk all over again...Praise God it didn't happen! 

I still pray the Alphabet today. It seems to give order to my life..

God, Brilliant Brain Surgeons...& the Alphabet...Saved my Life! VERILY! VERILY!

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, or of 'good report'...If there be any VIRTUE, or any praise, think on 'These Things' (Phillipians 4:8)

Thanks be to God, Who gives us the Victory through Jesus Christ our Lord....O grave, where is thy VICTORY....O Death, where is thy sting? (I Corinthians 15: 55-57)....

Merry Christmas to All.... WXY& Z on deck...

U Words...Day 21...

Happy Birthday UNTO Him that loved US and washed US from our sins in His own blood (Rev. 1:5): Jesus, our Savior...Today, Thursday, the 21st, is U Day...U words... 4 days to go, but let Us not forget that our Lord requests U-TURNS from US....I URGE U to pUt Christ in Christmas & UR life...It's URGENT!

Remember that First Christmas when the Angel announced:
"UNTO you is Born This Day in the City of David, a Savior, which is Christ The Lord!" (Luke 2: 11)....
Before that night, everything was UNTO (In the direction of)...He's Coming! Proclaimed the Prophets in the Old Testament: 
The 'Fullness of Time' came that 'Starry Night' in Bethlehem...The One Who Loves US & is able to Save to the UTTERMOST (Hebrews 7:25) Came, not UNTO...But TO! The Most Glorious Night Ever! 

Jesus came to set the captives free...That's US!
Paul tells US in Romans 10:10: For with the heart man believeth UNTO righteousness and with the mouth confession is made UNTO salvation...

Question is how do we get INTO Christ? Paul tells US in Galatians 3:27: "For as many as have been baptized INTO Christ, have pUt on Christ."....We get to Choose. whether to pUt Christ On & INTO...& Today is the Day of Salvation.

Solomon, the wisest man that ever lived, said in Proverbs 4:7: "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom, and with all your getting get UNDERSTANDING."

Jesus came that we might receive the 'Engrafted Word' that is able to save our Souls to the UTTERMOST (Hebrews 7:25)...

In the Judgement, Jesus will not let UNFORGIVEN sins go UNPUNISHED, and declares in Matthew 25:30 that He will cast the UNPROFITABLE servant into 'outer darkness' where there shall be 'weeping and gnashing of teeth'...along with 'UNQUENCHABLE Fire'....
To many, this is UNBELIEVABLE, but our Loving God 'Hates' Sin & Jesus was the 'Blood Sacrifice' for our Sins... 

UNTO You, O God, I come to UNBURDEN my Heart to Your UNENDING Love...It is only as I UNDERSTAND Your Plan for Mankind, and 'Share Your Amazing Love', that I feel UPBEAT & USEFUL...
Thank You for Sending Your Son! Merry Christmas in Heaven, In Jesus' Name I Pray, Amen.....

We can do anything for one day. So, just for today, let US be UNAFRAID of life, UNAFRAID of death, UNAFRAID to be obedient and receive His salvation and UNENDING love forever.
