JESUS CHRIST IS THE REASON for a MORE ABUNDANT LIFE
He CAME as a BABY through an UNTOUCHED VIRGIN for He had to be PURE for the LAMB for a sacrifice is without blemish.
He CAME to CHANGE THE WORLD and HE DID IT
THE ALMIGTY's NAME is ABSOLUTELY JESUS CHRIST!!
Merry CHRISTMAS!!!
For I turn to Deuteronomy 17:1 and Behold!
"Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the Lord Thy God any bullock, or sheep, wherein is BLEMISH, or any evilfavouredness: for that is an Abomination unto the Lord thy GOD.
Indeed a confirmation...I hope all had a BLESSED AND GRACEFUL Christmas in His Name.
He made the WORLD a Better place and STOPPED the hands of Time...come to think of it...no body else has done that before...yet some say they are a god...I beg to defer, for the figures and evidence don't hold as a GOD like the Almighty JESUS CHRIST!
Merry Merry Blessed Christmas!
Nope I just thought I wonder what Deuteronomy 17 says?...um...and it was right after I posted this...and there it was...It blows my mind...for the LORD is Awesome!!!
So Here COMES Jesus CHRIST as a BABY and TIME LINE ((( STOPS ))) and becomes B.C. ~0~ A.D. None other Does this...but if they Claim to be GOD they should have...but the deal is As God DECLARES "THERE IS NONE BESIDE ME"...so they absolutely cant...JESUS Christ grows and becomes GREAT...but His MOTHER Knew and Joseph Knew He was the Messiah...but the WORLD didn't know for the Pharisees didn't have the Holy Godly Eye of the SPIRITUAL but they had an eye of the natural and of their traditions which reeks blindness in important ways of the LORD...and THEY (the WORLD) knew NOT...that Jesus CHRIST was the LIVING WORD of GOD walking AMONG Them as stated in John 1:1-14....because He was the LIGHT OF the WORLD...to the darkest in the pitch blackness place His LIGHT can reach...
John 1:1-14
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
[NOTE: Above Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." For GOD
Spake the WORLD into existence with HIS WORDS...]
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 HE CAME UNTO HIS OWN, AND HIS OWN RECEIVED HIM NOT.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
[NOTE: Jesus Christ when He walked on the Earth THE WORD was made FLESH...See]
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Indeed He is haughty, but AWESOME...
AGAIN CHRIST HE DID IT...SO then He COMES AS A BABY... Thanks...

*So you are pondering the TRUE Story of JONAH?
JONAH 1
Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
3 But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord.
4 But the Lord sent out a great wind into the sea, and there was a mighty tempest in the sea, so that the ship was like to be broken.
5 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man unto his god, and cast forth the wares that were in the ship into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep.
6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said unto him, What meanest thou, O sleeper? arise, call upon thy God, if so be that God will think upon us, that we perish not.
7 And they said every one to his fellow, Come, and let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is upon us. So they cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah.
8 Then said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us; What is thine occupation? and whence comest thou? what is thy country? and of what people art thou?
9 And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the Lord, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land.
10 Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him. Why hast thou done this? For the men knew that he fled from the presence of the Lord, because he had told them.
11 Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.
12 And he said unto them, Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm unto you: for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you.
13 Nevertheless the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not: for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous against them.
14 Wherefore they CRIED unto the Lord, and said, We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech thee, let us not perish for this man's life, and lay not upon us innocent blood: for thou, O Lord, hast done as it pleased thee.
15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth into the sea: and the sea ceased from her raging.
16 Then the men feared the Lord exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, and made vows.
17 Now the Lord had prepared a great fish to SWALLOW up Jonah. And Jonah WAS IN the BELLY of the fish THREE DAYS and THREE NIGHTS.
JONAH 2
THEN Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God OUT OF THE FISH'S BELLY,
2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the Lord, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice.
3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy waves passed over me.
4 Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.
5 The waters compassed me about, EVEN TO THE SOUL: the depth closed me round about, the WEEDS WERE WRAPPED ABOUT MY HEAD.
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O Lord my God.
7 When my SOUL FAINTED within me I REMEMBERED THE LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
8 They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.
9 But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the Lord.
10 And the Lord SPAKE unto the fish, and it VOMITED out Jonah upon the DRY land.
*So here is JONAH in the belly of the whale and seaweed is upon His head and He cries to GOD! IN. THE. BELLY. OF. THE. WHALE. -- And GOD HEARS HIM yes IN THE BELLY OF THE WHALE...for the almighty always KNOWS WHERE YOU ARE at...CAN YOU imagine being in salty water for 3 days and 3 nights...talking about being pruned and the acid of the belly blistering you yet JONAH LIVES...and YES HE RAN FROM GOD...but GOD HAS MERCY on HIS LIFE...and He comes to His senses as it goes...
JONAH 3
And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the SECOND TIME, saying,
2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee.
3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey.
4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
Note: IT was 3 days Journey, but HE was so happy in the LORD HE MADE it in ONE DAY.
5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
6 For WORD CAME UNTO THE KING OF NINEVEH, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water:
8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.
9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
NOTE: The KING feared the LORD ALMIGHTY and was WISE.
10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God REPENTED OF THE EVIL, That he had said that he would do unto them; and HE DID IT NOT.
JONAH 4
Now Jonah needs and attitude check because Nineveh, Repented with THEIR HEART AND NOT WITH THEIR LIPS...So that NO destruction came...but JONAH was angry for this fact; Hence, this was all He could do for the LORD and His book ends as so...because of HIS attitude and that is all we know...I sort of laugh because HE was sooo mad...and He should have been happy...but there are people who seek destruction...God WILL NOT HIDE THESE THINGS...FOR HE LIKES for PEOPLE to KNOW THEIR CHARACTER...and he was bitter over it...for I guess he wanted to be a mighty prophet...but HE Didn't have the HEART nor the valor for it...
But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry.
2 And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
3 Therefore now, O Lord, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live.
4 Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry?
5 So Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made him a booth, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what would become of the city.
6 And the Lord God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his grief. So Jonah was exceeding glad of the gourd.
7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd that it withered.
NOTE: God sort of frustrates Jonah Here for his Attitude and is wondering what is wrong with you...should you NOT BE HAPPY I had Mercy on Nineveh...and Yet you are NOT? ...Like Who do YOU think you are? ...It is a marvelous thing...I can hear God say, and yet you want to die, for you are displeased that I, even I, changed my mind...and you are NOT looked upon as a liar but a Prophet of Warning...yet you wish to die? ...Yes, God will frustrate such as be this way with HIM.
8 And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.
9 And God said to Jonah, Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? And he said, I do well to be angry, even unto death.
10 Then said the Lord, Thou hast had pity on the gourd, for the which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and perished in a night:
11 And should not I spare Nineveh, that great city, wherein are more than sixscore thousand persons that cannot discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle?
***Personally I despise the way this ends...Why couldn't he have a song like MOSES as Psalm 91...where is the merriness of his heart...but instead he is like a bitter man...for since when DOES God bow to Man's opinion...I like the STORY of the Audacity of the Almighty OF GOD in this STORY but JONAH I don't like...for a beautiful thing was indeed but HIS eyes and His heart would not let but ONLY HIS BITTERNESS SHOW. Every time I read I just get perturbed at Jonah at his foolishness...
God will do things for disobedience...I loooooove JESUS CHRIST's audaciousness in this STORY in putting a man in a Fish's belly...for him fleeing from the LORD...disobedience and bitterness brings only great disappointment and a form of despair...Heed with ALL Mind HEART and SOUL and do as KING David so you exceed in the KINGDOM and not rob yourself of going to the NEXT LEVEL...for KING DAVID suffered from the Sword with HIS CHILDREN, then as a result even the fall of Solomon followed yes as a result...however, had Solomon had the long hours KING DAVID had had with the LORD...He would have in NO WISE Fell...ALL of the HOUSE of DAVID Suffered greatly...and JESUS CHRIST is of the LINE Son of DAVID due to a PROMISE...Psalm 138:8 ...for HE WILL PERFECT ALL CONCERNING YOU...
I am Now DRAWN to Matthew 21...yes even now...in the back of my mind...it is in my lap as I am doing as so on this Christmas DAY honoring my LORD...
And when they drew nigh unto Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me.
3 And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
5 Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.
14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,
16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away.
20 And when the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done.
22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
24 And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
26 But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said unto them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
28 But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
NOTE: The Almighty Jesus Christ ASKED "BUT WHAT THINK YE?"
29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
31 Whether of them twain did the will of his father? They say unto him, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him.
33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country:
34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive the fruits of it.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did unto them likewise.
37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41 They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
44 And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.
46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
Yes JESUS CHRIST will RESTORE YOUR SOUL through HIS BLESSED HOLY GHOST which He sent back after His DEATH on the DAY of PENTECOST...ALL will be restored and He will PERFECT ALL CONCERNING YOU ~ PSALM 138:8 ...WITH ACTS 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost for this is what was STATED in JOEL 2:28-29 & 3228 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call. ---> This is that as in ACTS 2 WHICH PROPHET JOEL SPOKE OF which is what Jesus stated in John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. and John 3:3&3:5 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
AND HE CHANGES LIVES FOR ALL WHO COME TO HIM ONE AT THE TIME ...
