Christmas Sermon - The Secret of Faith

Thank you for this Sermon, O' Holy Ghost!

Let us pray: O' Lord God of Israel, let those that read this sermon have ears to hear and eyes to see the truth of the Your Holy Word in the Mighty Name of Jesus and by the Blood of Jesus! Give them the same wisdom you've given me to understand this sermon and truth! Thank and Praise you God, YHWH, Jesus, Yeshua, and the Holy Ghost! Amen.

The Spirit of Christ will lead and guide you into ALL Truth!

"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come." (John 16:13) (KJV)

Why was Jesus born in a manger?

Shepherds put newborn lambs, carefully wrapped and kept from blemish to be an acceptable sacrifice. Jesus was placed in manger so the wise men would know instantly Jesus was the one they were to give the gifts to and worship. Jesus was placed in the manger as a sacrifice!

Whoa! (See Keanu Reeves in your head)

(Sorry it’s late. I was exhausted)

You know why it is so hard for NFL teams to three-peat, win three straight Superbowls?

They don’t stay hungry.

They don’t stay humble.

Pastor Vlad Savchuk has a sermon on Youtube where he got angry with God and he said he was tired of trusting God, wished things would just work out and the Holy Spirit said to him, “STOP DREAMING OF A LIFE WHEN DEPENDING ME IS OPTIONAL!”

Yes!

Stay hungry.

Stay humble.

“Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” (1 Thess 5:16-18) (KJV)

Never be too proud to get on your knees!

Repentance renews the mind. I didn’t repent one time for two weeks. I felt like I was going insae. Sin built up. Repentance allows the Holy Ghost to renew your mind by flushing the filth like you flush the toilet after going number two. 

Becareful what you look at because you are making the Holy Ghost see everything you see. He is Holy sooooo......!

Lean on Jesus and Trust Jesus NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS!

Jesus is our Husband and In Him Should We Trust Always!

Even in the valley of the shadow of death, even on the mountaintop, even during the worst storm idiot, er, TOTAL LOSER, er, satan throws at us...

JUST LIKE PETER DID, GET OUT OF THE BOAT and KEEP YOUR EYES ON JESUS!

Peter only sunk when he took his eyes of Jesus!

Jesus will never leave nor forsake YOU! Jesus will NEVER let YOU down! (Hebrews 13:5) (KJV)

ALL things work together for us that love God!

“AND WE KNOW THAT ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD TO THEM THAT LOVE GOD, TO THEM WHO ARE THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE!” (Romans 8:28) (KJV)

“I can do ALL things THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENETH me!” (Phil 4:13) (KJV) (Emphasis Added)

Psst. Here’s the Secret of Faith.... Let Jesus, God and the Holy Ghost do all the work. Don’t help God. He doesn’t need your help. Please, don’t help me as JD Farag said God told him often. 

All we have to do is be a willing vessel.

Let Go and Let God do ALL the work!

Jesus knew us BEFORE the foundations of the world!

“According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:” (Eph 1:3-4) (KJV)

He ordained YOU before He formed you in the belly of your mother!

“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” (Jer 1:5) (KJV)

Clearly, God made us willing vessels.

“But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.” (2 Tim 2:20-21) (KJV)

As a minister, self-confidence has nothing do with it. Jesus GAVE me the AUTHORITY to tread on serpents and scorpions.

“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (Luke 10:19) (KJV) In KJV, it actually says “power” but the real translation is “Authority”. I remember John Paul Jackson teaching on that.

If you realize you don’t nothing and the Holy Ghost does all the work in you because he ordained you and sanctified thee...

And, “FAITH COMETH BY HEARING, HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD!” (Romans 10:17) (KJV)

Again, we don’t do anything. THE WORD, JESUS CHRIST, does it all!

And, let’s go futher....

God gave each of us the measure of faith. See, we do nothing. He does all the work in us.

“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” (Romans 12:3) (KJV)

Let’s go even further....

“And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” (Matt 17:20) (KJV)

When you realize God has given you THE MEASURE OF FAITH, all you have to do is HAVE THE FAITH AS A GRAIN OF MUSTARD SEED (very small) and, therefore, when you pray, BELIEVE BECAUSE GOD HAS ORDAINED YOU, HE’S STRENGTHENED YOU, HE’S GIVEN YOU THE AUTHORITY, HE’S GIVEN YOU THE FAITH THE BELIEVE.... 

Jesus did it all right there on that Cross at Calvary! Every fight, every war, every battle was fought right there on that Cross at Calvary by Jesus Christ! 

“When Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished.” And bowing His head, He yielded up His spirit.” (John 19:30) (KJV)

It’s done.

Jesus perfected our faith, healed our bodies, bore our sins, bore our guilt, did it all.

Do you know Jesus?

Well, it is easy to know him and experience his undying, unfathomable love and affection.

God cares about YOU!

You are God's prized possession and toilet bug, er, satan HATES YOU! Honestly, has satan ever done anything for you? Really? Nope, not one thing! Jesus, on the other hand, has paved the way for us with complete and utter victory over everything, especially satan and his ilk. When Jesus died on the Cross, he took away the sin of the world. We only have to repent and ask Jesus into our heart to be born again.

God sacrificed Jesus, and Jesus came and died for YOU!

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) (KJV)

There is no greater love than Jesus.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) (KJV)

Accept Him today if you don't know him.

Sinner's Prayer

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior."

Now, go and tell someone and welcome to His Kingdom.

The Holy Spirit Baptism is a gift. Just pray, "God, I accept the Holy Spirit as a gift and welcome Him into my being. Thank and praise you Jesus for the Holy Spirit." In these dark times, you need the Holy Spirit right after getting saved.

Amen.
