PATTISON’S PERSPECTIVE

Making Jesus
the Center of Our Celebration.
We
are losing our Christian Heritage in many ways, and so we should be as Kenneth
Copeland would say; "NAME IT AND CLAIM IT" That is; we should be naming
and claiming our Christian Heritage, we should be naming Christmas, as our
rightful time of celebrating Jesus birth.
We
should be speaking out the name of Jesus every chance we have,
We
all should be naming and claiming Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, and all that
is important to us where our Christian Faith is concerned.
I
knew a friend, who every time he went to MacDonald fast food, he would take his
Bible with him, and that in itself brought a number of people to speak to him
about his Lord and Saviour.
I
was at one time speaking out against Santa Clause, and how unchristian it was
to have him around, but at least he represents Christmas and he brings a
message of celebration of Christmas.
Santa
Clause certainly reminds us of Christmas and should remind us of what Christmas
stands for.
Here
in Australia our Governments are now making it hard for Pensioners to become
Santa's helpers, as they will be taxing them on
a weekly basis, as they earn their money instead of taxing them on a
yearly basis, this could mean that there is very little incentive for the
Pensioners to become Santa's helpers, from here on in.
We
are losing our icons that represent Christmas, and our Christian way of life.
We
have to forget the petty things, like the actual date on the birth of Jesus,
and make sure that we hang onto what we have, and what represents Christmas and
let us see that Christ, and what He represents, stays with us, as long as we
can hold onto all that is real in our Christian life.
"LIVE
THE LIFE OF JESUS CHRIST"
"SPEAK
OUT JESUS THE WORD"
"ALLOW JESUS THE WORD TO PRODUCE."
JOHN
1:1 IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS
GOD.
ISAIAH
55:11 SO SHALL MY WORD BE THAT GOES FORTH OUT OF MY MOUTH: IT SHALL NOT RETURN
UNTO ME VOID, BUT IT SHALL ACCOMPLISH THAT WHICH I PLEASE, AND IT SHALL PROSPER
IN THE THING WHERETO I SENT IT.
(God
the Father's Word when it goes forth out of our mouth, it produces and so we
should speak out, our Heavenly Fathers Word, for our Christian way of life
should not to be downtrodden as it is today.
Even
Christians are down treading Jesus in some of our actions, when our actions
should be uplifting Jesus, and our way of life should be uplifting Jesus, in
every way to those around us.
God
made us so it would happen this way, that His way and His Word would be our way
and our words. Because of rebellion we have a tendency to speak negatively and
when we do this, then we reap negatively. We lose our Blessings due to our
words and our rebellion. I do not know many who have not been rebellious at one
time or another, in one way or another.
Let
us be so careful not to let rebellion have any chance to have any dominion in
any part of us, as we need to remember that rebellion is as witchcraft.
FOR
REBELLION IS AS THE SIN OF WITCHCRAFT, AND STUBBORNNESS IS AS INIQUITY AND
IDOLATRY. BECAUSE YOU HAVE REJECTED THE WORD OF THE LORD. (1 SAMUEL 15:23A )
Let
only Jesus have a place in our heart, and in our being. Let us put Jesus first,
and we have a promise that everything else will be added unto us.
MATTHEW
6:33 BUT
SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND ALL THESE THINGS
SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU.
Love
and Blessings, Ivan
