Matthew 1:21King James Version (KJV)

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for He shall save his people from their sins.

Luke 2:21King James Version (KJV)

21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, His name was called Jesus, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

Matthew 2:1-12King James Version (KJV)

2 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.  

Luke 2:8-20 King James Version (KJV)

8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.  

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.     

19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

APHASIA..."WHEN WORDS WON'T COME"

    "JUMBLED WORDS...THEY ARE SCRAMBLED IN AN APHASIC WORLD"

New Living Translation - Romans 8:26  And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. 

Aphasia, a definition best explained by speech incapable of being spoken.  The brain controls so much of our everyday capability.  Injury of any type to this neurological area of our precious nerves can cause the deficit.  It does not compromise the wholeness of someone, it only inhibits their desire to communicate normally.  What is normal?  The average person thinks it is only one way.  God has created us in His image to substantiate body, soul, and spirit.  We all have that.  Normal is just that!  He has "gifted" us to learn and learn again.  Something "outside the box".

The National Aphasia Association explains some of this differentiation in the following link:

This IS one of my Favorite Songs because, yes, many times my "words won't come"!

WHEN WORDS WON’T COME

By Joan Allen Pfeiffer , June 2009

There are those driving thoughts,

The ones you know and see.

Our gift to speak or write,

Sometimes spins and spins in me.

My brain can see these words,

They “tickle” with perception.   

I can get that first letter,

But I remain in some prevention.

Some words seem so very important,

Then others; maybe not so much.

Certainly the names of my loved ones are,

I think “not”, to trivial things and such. 

Remember, not all people who speak as if in a "drunken stupor", are what they seem. They may be "aphasic", having a "stroke", or an "epileptic  seizure".  A new "normal" to look for.  He has created us with so many wonders and we can communicate with Him, even if the "words won't come".

CHRISTMAS "DAYSPRING"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkBDJ0tK2aI&index=2&list=RD6F33Y7OgXzM

Luke 1:47 Mary says here, “And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior”.

And my heart took me to Luke 2:78 “Through the tender mercy of our God whereby the “dayspring” from on high hath visited us.”   Her “dayspring”, the light of day! Because then comes this:

Luke 2:79 “To give LIGHT to them that sit in darkness and in the “shadow of death” to guide our feet into the “WAY OF PEACE”.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnificat#mediaviewer/File:Fra_Angelico_046.jpg

It is said that Mary, the mother of Jesus sang a song in Glory to God for His Love to bring our Messiah to us, our blessed Redeemer, the Holy Son of God.  “The Magnificat” is how it is listed and was original in Greek, but became much better used in Latin music amongst those ‘gifted to harmony’.

          
Mary sang!  She sang although her life was now so changed, her journey had a new beginning. She sang from her heart of spirit again and again, and called herself His lowly servant. She knew one day, all generations would call her blessed.  She was!  She knew His Blessing to the World before everyone else on Earth! Can you imagine how beautiful her song was to Him? I cannot fathom the Magnificent Holy Love of her song to Him.

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,

my spirit rejoices in God my Savior

for He has looked with favor on His lowly servant.

From this day all generations will call me blessed:

the Almighty has done great things for me,

and Holy is His Name.

He has mercy on those who fear Him

in every generation.

He has shown the strength of His arm,

He has scattered the proud in their conceit.

He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,

and has lifted up the lowly.  

He has filled the hungry with good things,

and the rich He has sent away empty.

He has come to the help of his servant Israel

for He has remembered His promise of mercy,

the promise He made to our fathers,

to Abraham and His children for ever.

There is a song "Mary Did You Know"?

yes, Mary Knew!

" A FAIRY TALE, AND A WONDER or MIRACLE?"

    "SNOW WHITE THE FAIRY TALE"

Once upon a time... there was a lady who had a very bad "poison" in her, Snow White had eaten an apple that caused her to fall asleep.  The dwarfs built a glass filled box so she could be carefully placed, waiting for the Prince to save her life. And when he came, his kiss filled her with the spark, to kill the terrible poison.  And they lived "happily ever after".

"Snow White" is a very well known and cherished Fairy Tale.  But I have a real story to share.  It is just as cherished.  After you read it, you may decide if it is to be called a "wonder" or a "miracle".

A year ago, there was a lady whose brain MRI revealed a tumor.  Now this was no ordinary tumor and became what they call "Idiopathic" or unknown causes when the pathology report was done.  After her "gifted" Dr. Ricardo Hanel, removed this tumor, the brain developed a very bad infection since the lady had what is called an "auto immune disease".   This bad infection was called "skull based osteomyelitis of the left temporal bone".

At the beginning of treatment, the lady found out that something called hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) was available.  Dr. Hanel sent her to ,Dr. James Allen, her "gifted" infectious disease doctor, and he contacted the specialist of HBOT to start the healing treatments.  This was to be a total of 40 days or 8 weeks in all, along with antibiotics for an intended 80% completion of cellular bone healing.  She, like Snow White was placed in "glass" for every one of these treatments.  Strange as it may seem, the name on the front of this "chamber" is SECHRIST...or as many like to call it..."see Christ".

THE HYPERBARIC CHAMBER FOR A HEALING WONDER

THE LADY WAS CAREFULLY PLACED THOSE 40 TIMES.....

At Baptist Medical Center in Jacksonville, FL, this lady was faithfully and securely taken care of by her nurses and doctors.  Now you could say that they were her princes and princesses, but God has His own name for them.  He calls them His children, whose "gifts" He has given, and watches over them, while honoring His healing Purpose in their lives.

Just like the fairy tale, this lady breathed in a spark, (oxygen).  The huge difference is that she is not in a fairy tale, but is the writer here of His continual blessings in her journey. Today, her many doctors are saying that this rare disease has been healed.  The lady is gratefully thanking God for His continual mercy.  This was His time of  healing, for His "purpose" under the Heavens. 

Ecclesiastes 3:1 - 3:3

¹ To every [thing there is] a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

² A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up [that which is] planted;

³ A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

SAYING GOODBYE....TO SAY HELLO AGAIN

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQn_a6fc1Og&index=30&list=PL4A2B54B268D57207

 Acts 1:6-8

6So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, “Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” 7He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority; 8but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”

The Ascension    Acts 1:9-11

      9And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them. 11They also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”

We are shown this so many times...”the goodbye to say hello” again.  The seasons of Creation show us the sleeping of the land, the time for a short “goodbye” towards Winter until Spring comes joyfully giving us a “hello”.  The caterpillar spins itself for the short time of “goodbye” until suddenly it bursts open with wings to fly lifting the “hello again”.  The ice of glaciers frozen solid in their “good bye”, slowly melt to give the waterways a new ripple of water, in their “hello again”.

I used to say to my daughters when they became teary eyed upon leaving them at their school...Mommy must say “goodbye for now”....and then later I can say “hello again”.  They would smile, knowing that I would be there later.

Our days end is one filled with a cataclysm “goodbye” of the sun setting, in colors of His rainbow...the night is lighted by His stars awaiting the promise of the new day.  The “hello again” is His bright sun rise in the morning full filling our new day of joy!

Working at Hospice and helping those whose loved ones have died...I remind them...everyone will need to say “goodbye” to be able to say “hello again”.  Somehow, this brings them some peace realizing the truth of His Promise.

John 14:2-4   JESUS said....

…2"In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. 3"If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. 4"And you know the way where I am going."

Read it again...His “goodbye” to say “hello again”.... “Jesus, who has been taken up from you into Heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.” 

He went as a lamb...He will return as a Lion.  He will say “HELLO AGAIN”!

NAIVETY....A BEAUTIFUL AND RARE GIFT

Matthew 18:3 "He said unless you "change" and become like little children....you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPjljSC_1XE&index=9&list=PLa_0rl-N6O8iOBAplPqWtrZsSnuMPXt5T

NAIVETY......my thoughts have been encumbered by this word since last night...and “yes” to some extent I admit to being “naive”.

So looking this up...I found something that is similar to my own understanding of “naivety”: This was written by www.naivety.org...   I pray they do not mind my sharing it in my own notes...but giving them the credit for what part I feel compelled to show here.

“But I think it is unfair how naivety is taken hostage, as something that is always bad. Naivety is a beautiful and rare gift – present in every child and few adults.

For me, and the dictionaries, naivety is synonymous with being unsophisticated, lacking knowledge, be natural, intuitive, trust full, instinctive, open-minded, and imaginative. It follows, that such a mindset will get everyone in trouble at some point. It will fill your heart with love, betray you, take you down endless dead ends and waste your time over and over again. I have had countless disappointments in life already – as a result of naivety.

Yes, naivety can be our best friend and our worst enemy. I do not think we can control it, but maybe we can understand it. Perhaps we should just accept that naivety enriches our life in unpredictable ways – for good and for bad.

Our desire to avoid disappointment is dangerous, since that always involves a certain mistrust to naivety.”

So where do the Words of God take me to this....????  I would liken it to something Jesus said: 

Luke 18:17
Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it."

Matthew 18:3
And he said: "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

The thought of being naive opens up a “treasure” of sorts.  Idiopathic comes to mind here, because it is the “unknown”.  So in being naive....there is also an “idiopathic sense”.  If the treasure of hopes and dreams cannot be opened by a tender touch, then what do you suppose would happen?  NOTHING!

After my prayers this morning, I searched for other “music” that is being brought to date.  Other spirits searching to help this darkened “world”.  Are they naive?  I hope so! I hope and pray we never lose the “child like spirit” within us to open His Promised Treasures in Heaven.

Children bring the most promised part of “unconditional love” we can ever hope to experience in this world.  They don’t know the differences of color, creed, politics, theology, doctrines.....what they do know is the needs of their hunger, their thirst, the embrace of hearts, the smiles, the laughter, the tears and the “whisper” of harmony in life. The word "greed" has never entered their mind or heart.  I do believe Jesus wants us to know this “harmony of life”, that is the reason He Created us! To Worship Him unconditionally in Love, freely and openly given.  That is why He said we must be like “children”. 

Naivety....think about it...so much can be opened if only we let His Love come through us like His children, we are created to be.  I am so glad He changed me...I love Him like His little child....Oh, How I Love Him!

Please call me naive, because I know ... He loves me!

THE "SENSE" OF OBSESSIVE LOVE IN HIM

    HIS PATH OF LOVE CONTAINS HARDSHIP WITH HIS GRACE

The crux of changes in me, came the day I heard the Dr. say, "You have a brain tumor". I say it was a "crux", only because, God had been on a "back lash" in my life.  Now, He was letting me know,40 years was far too long to have kept him there.  This new journey was His Plan, and now I can say almost a year later...Thank You Father!  Thanking Him for bringing me back to His Love and Light through this change of my life.

Now, many will say that your neurological sense is either controlled by the scientific cells or it is God's creation of us is in His control.  The experience from the beginning of my treatment began with Doctors stating the "essence" of His Creation of us.  My family and I had prayed for the "gifted" Doctors we needed to contact.  His answer was to change a forgiven messed up me.

Can we really be too obsessed with HIM??  According to His Word, the answer is "no".
 Matthew 22:37 and 38 "Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with ALL your heart and with ALL your soul and with ALL your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment."

I have been reading "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan.  He is a pastor and takes the Bible seriously.  This book has helped me to understand better, the changes, the Lord has been making in me.  I love Him with all my heart. We are but a "wisp", His Plan for us, His children, has meaning for His Glory. As this author says, is what I have experienced from some; "You're crazy." "But I can't imagine devoting my life to a greater vision."

He has taken this "broken vessel" along a path to teach His greatest Love of His Son's perfect Gift.  Jesus laid down His Life for the imperfect me, through His Perfect selfless Love.  Grace...His Grace, that saved a wretch like me. It is not just about me...oh no...it is for All of His children.  He wants me to share this Love of His.  Forgiveness ...His great part of His Love...

It takes us to John 3:16 "For God so LOVED the World, that He gave HIS one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have eternal (everlasting) life."
