Christmas fear

 


Christmas Fear


Yes.  You read that right.  It is not about Christmas cheer but fear.  Too many people have lots of this.


Fears comes in the times where we are out of control, are unsure of some things or maybe even fear people.  It could be a million things that we fear.


What fear does is magnify where we have not let faith and trust in God fully take our hearts and lives.  No, christians will never fear, but we should fear less.  Why is that?


2 Timothy 1:7  NLT  

For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.

 

Isaiah 41:10  NLT  

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you.  Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you and help you.  I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.


There are a couple things that God has gifted us with.  No, they are not Christmas gifts, but they are gifts that the best Christmas gift has given us.  Jesus removes fear through His love and through His presence in our lives.


We can have victory over fear through the peace and victory that are gifts from God.  They are ours for the taking.  They are also ours for the giving.


Take some time this Christmas season to help yourself and to help others leave fear behind, embrace faith in God and let the peace of God rule our hearts.  Remember a couple very important things about our God and His gift to us.


Colossians 3:15  NLT  

And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.


What rules your heart will run your life!


Luke 2:14  NLT  

“Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”


What was said to the shepherds after Jesus was born was also for us!  Peace on earth…


Let His peace remove that old thing that tears you a part.  Say no to Christmas fear.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
