Why CPR? WHY (Cant People Repent?) days 20-21 of the 21 Days of SERMONS :Twas The Night Before CHRISTmas: Isaiah 9:6-7 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. Matthew 2:1-12King James Version (KJV) 1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. 5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. 7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. 8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. 9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh. 12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. I come Before you one and all on day 21 .... of this sermon series to enlighten what we as Christians celebrate as CHRIST-mas Eve. Many folk out here are upset because not only do we celebrate our Saviors Birth ,,, but the fact that it has been designated the date for December 24th.......... For that they dont believe.. I beg the differ that Chronologically the day that has been set aside may be off... Yet HIS - Story is still the Same... CHRIST was BORN.... !!!! HE was BORN for you and I that we may establish a Relationship back unto GOD that when this LIFE here on Earth is finished.... We should go HOME to GLORY to be with Father GOD in Paradise.. My Grandmother used to say, With a Made up Mind ...with a made up Mind ... Im willing to go all the way through..... Though it cost my LIFE.... Im willing to pay the Price... Ive got HEAVEN in my VIEW!!!! She would always say in closing of that statement that, Just keep on Living... someday if you Treat everybody right and Pray unto GOD for FORGIVENESS and be ever so ready to REPENT for all wrongdoing!!!!!!!!... She would say, we will see each other in Paradise along with the other Saints of GOD crowned with HIS MERCY!!!!! I speak to you on the text today out of Isaiah the Prophet.... as well as Matthew the Disciples account on the Story...TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRIST-mas... You see all these Atheist, Gnostic.. Non believers miss the whole gist of HIS-Story... not History... but HIS - Story!!!!! Give me a few minutes and I will be out your way.. Twas the Night Before CHRIST-Mas..... The Prophet Isaiah it was almost like Yesterday when GOD had him to Pen ............. Isaiah 9 : 6-7 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. To have wonderfully spoken of in Matthew 2 verse #5....5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet...... Its no coincidence that CHRIST was Born... the Distraction of the Enemy would have you focus on the date that the World gave us (CHRISTIANS) to celebrate HIS (GOD) Birth on... yet the Fact remains... HE WAS BORN we know ... because it was WRITTEN.. Now the First Point :::: TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRIST-mas The scripture says (Matthew 2 vs#3) that before CHRIST was BORN.... Herod HEARD>>>>>>>>>> My GOD........... MY GOD............ Herod HEARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! these things and was TROUBLED..... I dont know about you but have you ever noticed that when you are outside of the will of GOD about something or GOD is trying to speak to you ...HE (GOD) Troubles your SPIRIT...??? Yeah you know what Im talking bout... You know how you TOSS and Turn all Night Long and cant seem to get any REST before the next day or time to wake up .... Well thats what happened in this situation. It was GOD causing the ringing in Herods ears to hear the PROPHESY being fulfilled about the LORD OF LORDS and the KING OF KINGS... JESUS the CHRIST to be BORN that you and I would be SAVED............ (see John 3: 17 kjv) 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRIST-mas that night before our SAVIORS BIRTH was a Night that could not be REVERSED... For GOD is not a Man..... Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? GOD had already planned for you and I to be troubled in our Spirit like Herod to have the INTENTION to see the KING of GLORY.... Brothers and Sisters many of us Like HEROD are in danger of losing our lives to unbelief because we in our HEART dont believe... we actually have Heard of this Savior called JESUS,,, yet like the World of Herods we deny the Power there of. (this was also Prophesied by our brother Timothy)..... .2 Timothy 3 King James Version (KJV) 3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. HEROD didnt really want to Worship JESUS.. He wanted to kill HIM for he knew that to allow the people to Believe and see for themselves the prophesy unfold before their very eyes... would be tragic to the way he wanted to run the Kingdom... it was yet for told that in Isaiah 9:6-7 that ORDER would replace the ways of SIN and how it had destroyed the thoughts and minds of the Believers who had made the mistake to allow themselves to be bewitched!!!! John 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; Hebrews 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Herod just like the Wise Men, just like JOSEPH was directed...stirred up if you will by the VOICE of GOD to go or to be in a certain place at an Appointed time... You didnt catch that... Appointed TIME!!!! In GODs Timing at HIS Appointed Timing!!!!!!!!!! The Bible says, that UNTO US A CHILD WAS BORN !!!!!!!!!!!... The Bible says, that WHEN JESUS was BORN ,,, from out of the East Came WISE Men!!! ...... The Bible says, that Herod gathered all the Chief Priest n Scribes of the people and DEMANDED of THEM where CHRIST should be BORN!!!!.. See yall Missed that.... He Demanded of THEM...!!! They dont Know.. Its GOD who confounds the Wise.. Job 32:9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment. .Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. I wish I had somebody!!!! The Bible says, that GOD sent HIS Angels to speak unto JOSEPH in Chapter 1 to proceed to Bethlehem and there would be the place where CHRIST would be BORN... The Bible says, that GOD had those wise men listen to the Declaration of Demand of King HEROD to report back to him about the Where abouts of JESUS the CHRIST,,, but the Angel of GOD Warned them Otherwise in a DREAM... to go the LONG way HOME!!!! TWAS the Night before CHRIST-mas The Herods of this world dont mean you as a Believer well.. they will do any and everything they can to cause a distraction on your life to denounce what Prophesy clearly had proclaimed over 2000 years ago.. I m not gonna get into a long drawn out debate with any non believer or curious GEORGE about when exactly HE (CHRIST) was BORN... I just know in my Heart HE (JESUS) was BORN to bare the SINS of this WORLD and to DIE on CALVARY..(preordained by GOD) and to RISE in 3 days and ascend into HEAVEN just like the DOVE had Descended from HEAVEN... Yall dont hear me!!!! As JESUS said, CHRIST is Coming back for the CHURCH... HIS Bride... I Believe that those who will REPENT of their ways of HEROD.. shall be Saved... TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRIST-mas Point Two::::: The Night before stirred up all kinds of uneasiness within King HEROD.. Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Proverbs 18:12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility. Proverbs 25:26 A righteous man falling down before the wicked is as a troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring Arent you glad that GODs Timing is not your Timing...??? Arent you glad that GOD LOVED you so much that over 2000 years ago HE (GOD) would have HIS Prophets speak what was to come and cause a shifting in your SPIRIT to obey that which is being spoken this very Day by the LORD JESUS in the Form of the HOLY SPIRIT within You... (Go the Other Way!!!! Go the Long way around to get back HOME to GOD in the SPIRIT... The ENEMY..(Herod) (In A Me!!!!) is trying to get you to report unto him which is in complete REBELLION of GOD in HIS voice unto you in the DREAM that you my friend had last NIGHT.... TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS ... Thats Right I declare unto you that GOD in the form of HIS Angel appeared unto you in a DREAM last night which called out unto you that you must REPENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TURN from your wickedness and and Return unto GOD not unto HEROD... Dont be Rebellious brothers and Sisters.. Because when you do this is unto WITCHCRAFT!!! that you should obey the DEVIL...(the HERODs to return unto him and give a Report!!!) Matthew 4:10.......10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Matthew 4:17......17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.. following any other DEMANDS as HEROD would say is to deny the CHRIST in CHRIST-Mas... We need more CHRIST in US my friends... we NEED to take heed to the DREAM that GOD BESTOWED upon us ...TWAS the NIGHT BEFORE CHRIST-mas.........HE s speaking TODAY this 24th day of December... You see.. what the SPIRIT of the LORD is saying is that each day you are afforded to be able to awaken and Breath again,,, dont let the Atheist fool you........Even they Believe in GOD!!! They say they dont but they believe... (just by them saying their is no GOD bares witness that they Believe enough to deny HIM (GOD)!!!) Hmmmm... ,,,,and Just by them Denying HIM (GOD) means that the Night before they spoke out against HIM (GOD) being the Almighty GOD ,,,, their Spirits were TROUBLED the Night before as yours I guarantee it.. Because OUR GOD is no Respecter of Persons... Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: Romans 5:18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. Night or Day...........My GOD will be your GOD if thou only believe and trust that the WORD of GOD is TRUE.. That the WORD of GOD was, Is, and shall be Fulfilled for them who love the LORD... TWAS the NIGHT BEFORE CHRIST-mas I come before you this day as a PROPHET to say unto you... as I have done so through these 21 days of Sermons............REPENT..................... Be ye Made whole TODAY by: A= ACCEPTING the CHRIST as your Personal Savior B= Believing that HE (JESUS) was the same JESUS as in Genesis 1:26 ...the same JESUS as in Matthew 2:1...the same JESUS as in Matthew 3:17...the same JESUS as in Matthew 27 :54..even the Centurion Soldiers turned in his way of thinking and REPENTED and Believed upon JESUS dying... C= Confessing that JESUS is LORD... Confessing that we are sinners and that there is no other way by which we can be saved except by believing on HIM.. for when we confess... we shall know the truth and the truth shall make us FREE!!!! Confessing JESUS is OUR SAVIOR is to Believe the Scripture in Revelation to be TRUE!!! Revelation 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.... If you have been moved by this Series... I encourage you to continue in the study of the WORD of GOD.. Remember this my Brothers and Sisters... CHRISTMAS as the HOLIDAY celebration if it should come for you... is not about the Material GIFTS you shall RECieve.. but it is about the SPIRITUAL GIFT that was GIVEN UNTO US>>>>> over 2000 years ago.. Truly it is a Gift that KEEPS on GIVING because of this ONE passage of scripture that cannot be denied by any of us......... Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Tonight before CHRIST-Mas day.. say this Prayer... NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP... I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL HELL KEEP... IF I SHOULD DIE BEFORE I WAKE... I PRAY THE LORD MY SOUL HELL TAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL... AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT...... SR.Pastor Joel Lewis, Out Of Our Heart Ministries
