im so blessed by your teaching ministry...it adds depth to my Christian value and my walk with the Lord...Studying the life of Daniel, more than his prophecies, is indeed what made him set apart from the others...a prayerful man who stood his ground with kindness and consistency is something to be followed and emulated...
What an awesome word from God and what an amazing man Daniel was. How wonderful would it be to be like Daniel ! How to stand out with the courage of his conviction. Please let me be this way making the right choice and have the courage of my convictions! What a wonderful story thank you Skip. Watching from south africa
How would I ever know about living a man’s thumb unless I have been living under his thumb all my life, because I have never been able to go anywhere or truly enjoy my life, I will always regret ever coming back to Gallup New Mexico after the car wreck I had in Albuquerque. I am sorry Pastor Skip for expressing this here but it is not fair

Part 1 in Christ Luke 2:8-20(The Shepherds and Angels) "8 And there were shepherds( 😊❤ 😊❤ 😊❤😊❤ 😊❤ 😊❤ 😊❤) living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch(😊❤ "keep watch" = "against thieves and predatory animals" Zondervan NIV Study Bible) over their flocks at night."(Luke 2:8 Zondervan NIV Study Bible) Pause in Luke 2;8 the Bible said " And there were shepherds living out of the fields nearby so the "living out of the field "in Luke 2:8a could mean " Does not necessarily mean it was summer, the dry season. The flock reserved for temple sacrifice were kept in the field near Bethlehem throughout the years."( Zonddervan NIV Study Bible) and again the phase "keep watch"( Luke 2:8B Zondervan NIV Study Bible)" keep watch" means "against thieves and predatory animals" Zondervan NIV Study Bible) The what happen? In Luke 2:9-12 "9 An angel( one angel) of the Lord appeared to them( shepherds😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤), and the glory(😊❤) of the Lord(😊❤) shine around them( Just imagine the glory of the Lord shone around them back then in Jesus'time in Christ and now today pretend you were one of these shepherds and the glory of the Lord shone( shine) around you(😊❤ or 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤) and the how do you reaction? Or how do you feel my friend? What do you think these shepherd felt when"9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord 😊❤ shone around them( at night remembering of Luke 2:8 "...at night."( Luke 2:8b Zondervan NIV Study Bible) , and they were terrified( that is the shepherds reaction were terrified, it also makes senses because imagine you were one of the shepherds( how many? only God knows), you were just doing your job as a shepherd(😊❤) to protect your flock (of sheeps) over "against thieves and predatory animals( like wolves) " at night( Zondervan NIV Study Bible) and all the sudden In Luke 2:9 "9 An angel of the Lord(😊❤ or Jesus(😊1st❤)'s angel) appeared to them( shepherds😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤), and the glory(😊❤) of the Lord(😊❤) shine around them, and they were terrified( common reaction in Christ) ."( Luke 2;9 Zondervan NIV Study Bible). It happened to Zechariah too in Luke 1:12 " 12 When Zechariah saw him( a angel), he was startled and was gripped with fear( so "fear" is a "common reaction" as with Gideon( Judges 6:22-23 and Manoah( Judges 13:22 ) too in Christ."( Zondervan NIV Study Bible) But that's not the end of the story because when they were fear or afraid or terrified or " with fear" . In Luke 1:13 "13 But😊❤ the angel( Gabriel( Luke 1:19said so) 😊❤ here in this case for Zechariah encounter Gabriel😊❤) said to him(Zechariah 😊❤): " Do not❤ be afraid, Zechariah😊❤; your prayer has been heard, your wife Elizabeth 😊❤ will bear you a son, and you are to give him( John or John the Baptist later) the name John(😊❤). "( Luke 1:12-13 Zondervan NIV Study Bible so that Zechariah saw the angel Gabriel and then he with fear( very common reaction. If you see an angel of the Lord God you too will feel similar way or in awe or afraid or fear too) but Gabriel ( Luke 1:19, Luke 1:13 ) reassurance Zechariah do not be afraid. "Do not be afraid" to me is equal (=) to love assurance from God through the angel( Gabriel) and opposite of fear= Do not be afraid. Imagine you were in Zechariah's shoes in fear or afraid and the angel( Gabriel , a good angel) said to you " do not be afraid" You might asked why not? Because the Bible said in your( or Zechariah's prayer) prayer has been heard( God listen to our prayers if according to His will in Christ) in Luke 1:13, "13 But😊❤ the angel( Gabriel( Luke 1:19) said to him(Zechariah 😊❤): " Do not❤ be afraid, Zechariah😊❤; your prayer has been heard, your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him( John or John the Baptist later) the name John(😊❤). "( Luke 1:12-13 Zondervan NIV Study Bible ) This also happen to Mary(😊❤) too in Luke 1:28-31 The Bible said, "28 The angel( Gabriel) went to her and said, " Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord (😊❤) is with you." 29 Mary was greatly trouble at his words and wondered what kind of greating this might be. 30 But the angel sais to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary😊, you have found favor 😊❤ with God(😊100%❤). 31 You will be with a child( baby Jesus😊1st❤) and give birth to a son( Jesus😊1st❤) , and you are to give him( Jesus😊1st❤) the name Jesus(😊1st❤)."( Luke 1:28-31 Zondervan NIV Study Bible). Since Luke 1:26-33 show the content and context on what's going on , so i will repeat these Scriptures in Christ( Jesus😊1st❤) in Christ to make a point in Christ. Luke 2:26-34 "26 In the sixth month, God(😊100%❤) sent the angel Gabriel(😊❤) to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledges to be married to a man named Joseph(😊❤) , a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary(😊❤). 28 The angel( Gabriel) went to her and said, " Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord (😊❤) is with you." 29 Mary was greatly trouble at his words and wondered what kind of greating this might be. 30 But the angel sais to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary😊, you have found favor 😊❤ with God(😊100%❤). 31 You will be with a child( baby Jesus😊1st❤) and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus(😊1st❤). 32 He(Jesus 😊1st❤) will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High(😊❤). The Lord God(😊❤) will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever😊❤; his(Jesus') kingdom will never end." 34 " How will this be, " Mary asked the angel, " Since I am a virgin? " 35 The angel answered, " The Holy Spirit(😊❤) will come upon you, and the power of the Most High(😊❤) will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son(Jesus😊1st❤) of God(😊100%❤) 36 Even Elizabeth😊❤ your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. 37 For nothing is impossible with God(😊100%❤)." 38 " I am the Lord's servant😊❤ , " Mary(😊❤) answered. " May it be to me😊 as you have said❤." Then the angel left her."( Luke 1:26-38 Zondervan NIV Study Bible) Now the Scripture in Luke 2:9-12 makes sense "9 An angel of the Lord(😊❤ or Jesus(😊1st❤)'s angel) appeared to them( shepherds😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤), and the glory(😊❤) of the Lord(😊❤) shine around them, and they were terrified(" terrified "or "afraid " or " fear" or " terrified " is a common reaction in Christ when they see the angel(in Luke 2:9A) ." But😊❤ the angel said to them( shepherds), "Do not be afraid.(period)" I bring you( 😊❤ 😊❤ 😊❤😊❤ 😊❤ 😊❤ 😊❤) good news(😊❤ ) of great joy (😊❤) that will be for all people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior(Jesus(😊1st❤) , our Savior in Christ ) has been born to you( " you"= plural you for the Shepherds😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤) he( Jesus😊1st❤) is Christ( " Christ" means Messiah= Jesus😊1st❤) the Lord(Jesus😊1st❤). 12 This will be a sign to you( 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤): you will find a baby( baby Jesus😊1st❤) wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. "( Luke 2:9-12, above also meant to Share Luke 2:8-12 so far Zondervan NIV Study Bible and other Scriptures and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ also for Christ too in Christ too. So help us God. In Jesus'name, i pray(Luke 2:8-20(The shepherds and angels) and Happy Birthday to my savior(Jesus😊1st❤) and my Lord(Jesus😊1st❤) of lords and King(Jesus😊1st❤) of kings(Revelation 19:16 b) in Jesus'name, i pray(John 14:6😊❤).Amen.

Genesis 8:13-18 "13 In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried from off the earth. And Noah(😊❤) removed the covering of the ark and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry. 14 In the second month, on the twenty- seventh day of the mouth, the earth had dried out. 15 Then God(😊100%❤) said to Noah, 16 " Go out from the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you. 17 Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh- birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth- that they may swarm(😊❤) on the earth, and be fruitful(😊❤) and multiply(😊❤) on the earth." 18 So Noah(😊❤) went out , and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him. 19 Every beast, every creeping thing and every bird, everything that moves on the earth, went out by families from the ark. "(Genesis 8:13-18 ESV) In Genesis 8:15-17, " God(😊100%❤) instruction to Noah(😊❤) are reminiscent of chapter 1( of Genesis 1)(it reminds me Genesis 1:22 " And God blessed them, saying, " Be fruitful (😊❤) and multiply(😊❤) and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth." And also it also reminds me on Genesis 1:28 "28 And God blessed them(male and female from Genesis 1:27b ESV). And God said to them, " Be fruitful(😊❤) and multiply(😊❤) and fill(😊❤) the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth."(Genesis 1:28 ESV) Again resume in Christ.

Now resume back to Scripture Luke 1:64-65 "64( a) Immediately his(Zechariah's mouth were opened😊❤ do you also remembering of Luke 1:20 remember? "20 And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day of this happens, because you did not believe my words( the angel's word😊❤), which will come true at their proper time."( Luke 1:20 Zondervan NIV Study Bible with this mind then come back to look with gladness😊❤ in Luke 1:64 Luke 1:64-66 "64 Immediately his(Zechariah's ) mouth were opened 😊❤ ( Do you also remember Luke 1:20 in mind first in Christ and then look at this) and his tongue( have you ever had tongue tied? ) was loosed, and he( Zechariah😊❤ )began to speak(😊 ❤), praising(😊 ❤) God( 😊 100%❤). 65 The neighbors( they) were all filled(😊 ❤) with awe, "( not OMG but " with awe,"( could be good or bad or good too, let's stick with, " all filled with awe😊 ❤" like the Bible said " all filled with awe,") and throughout the hill of country of Judea( where both Zechariah and Elizabeth lived) people( people talk) were talking about these things. 66 Everyone😊❤ who heard about this wonder about it, asking, " What then is this child( John or later will be called John the Baptist😊 ❤) going to be?

Last Genesis sharing meant Genesis 7:17-24. Now Genesis 8:1-19( The Flood Subsides) Genesis 8:1-5 "8 But God(😊100%❤) remember Noah(😊❤) and all the beasts and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the water subsided. 2The foundation of the deep and windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained, 3and the water receded from the earth continually. At the end of 150 days the waters had abated, 4 and in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountain of Ararat. 8 And the waters continued to abate until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen."( Genesis 8:1-5 ESV) In Genesis 8:1 , " God remembered Noah..." "This mark the turning point in the flood story. When the Bible says that God "remembers" someone or his covenant with someone, it indicates ( shows) that he is about to take action for that person's welfare(... Genesis 9:15 Genesis 19:29; Genesis 30:32; Exodus 2:24; Exodus 32:13; Psalm 25:6-7; Psalm 74:2) all life on the land having been destroyed, God now proceeds to renew everything, echoing what he did in Genesis 1. In Genesis 1:1b " God made a wind blow over the earth..."( H Genesis 1:1b ESV) "( ESV) " The Hebrews word for wind, ruakh, is also sometimes translated " Spirit"( For examples, Genesis 1:2 "2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters."(Genesis 1:2 ESV) Genesis 6:3 "3 Then the LORD said, " My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh; his day shall be 120 years."( Genesis 6:3 ESV. In Genesis 6:3 explain from the Bible point of view why most people live under 12O years today. Because the Bible said in Genesis 6:3 "3 Then the LORD said, " My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh; his day shall be 120 years."( Genesis 6:3 ESV) Good thing we have Jesus In 1 Timothy 2:5(😊❤) Hebrews 12:24(😊❤) in Christ too.

Luke 1:67-80( Zechariah's Song) " 67 His father Zechariah was filled with Holy Spirit(😊❤) and prophesied: 68 " Praise be to the Lord(😊❤) , the God( 😊❤) of Israel(❤) , because he has come and has redeemed his people. 69 He(the Lord, the God of Israel 😊❤) has raised up a horn of salvation(😊❤) for us in the house of his servant David(😊❤) 70( as he said through his holy prophets of long ago),"( Luke 1:67-70 Zondervan NIV Study Bible) In Jesus'name, i pray( Matthew 1:1-17( The Genealogy of Jesus) then we understand that Jesus Christ is the from line of David.

I remember a faithful servant of God once share in recently year that Abraham( 2000 BC) Abraham's covenant is unconditional.

May God's unconditional love through Jesus(😊1st❤) also be with you in Christmas time too. In Jesus'name, i pray( Luke 2:10-12😊❤). Amen. Then 1500 BC= Moses ( old Mosaic covenant was conditional covenant)and then up to David( 1000 BC) = David ( unconditional covenant if i did not misrecall from memory in Christ) and then finally to Jesus( A.D. 30) = Jesus(😊1st❤)raised from the grave is conditional covenant."- from one of the faithful one in Christ too. Only God knows why i share this before resume back to Luke 1:74-80 "74( a) to Rescue us from the hand of our enemies( pause. Jesus said love our enemies. In Jesus'name, i pray( Matthew 5:43-48).

Geographic wise Galilee is above, Samaria and Samaria is above Judea but we have respect for Jerusalem which a town within Judea. When you go the temple, you said " go up"😊❤ instead of go down. One must it custum and culture at Jesus' time too in Christ So we honor the word " go up" from the town of Nazareth in Galilee( For examples, just like NY city has 5 Boroughs(Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island ) Thus within Galilee there are towns back then in Jesus' time and Nazarth is one of the town of Galilee. Anysways , let's not sidetrack but resume back to Scriptures in Christ) and resume back to the original Scriptures said by resume back to Luke 2:4 again and then Luke 2:5-7. Luke 2:4 "4 So Joseph also went up ( " went up" to Jerusalem (within it, a town called " Bethlehem") from the town of Nazareth( Jesus😊1st❤ of Nazareth) in Galilee to Judea( physical geographic Galilee is above Judea but in Jesus(😊1st❤)'s time people said "go up" to from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea( within was / is town called Bethlehem) ; to Bethelem(😊❤) the town of David(😊❤), because he(Joseph😊❤) belonged to the house and line ( Mary😊❤ also belonged to the line of David) of David. 5 He(Joseph😊❤ obey God through the what the angel told him) went there to register with Mary(😊❤), who was pledged to married to him and was expecting a child( baby Jesus😊1st❤). 6 While they( Joseph and Mary, and baby Jesus😊1st❤ in Mary's womb by the Holy Spirit(😊❤)) were there, the time came for the baby(Jesus😊1st❤) to born, 7 and she( Mary😊❤) gave birth to her firstborn a son(Jesus😊1st❤).

We all know what a hospital is but what about a manger in Christ), because there was no room for them( Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus(😊1st❤) in the inn. "( Luke 2:1-7 Above all in all above in Christ from Zondervan NIV Study Bible. And all parenthesis parts and symbols of Christ also for and in Christ too. The Bible makes sense. When you travel from Nazareth in Galilee to Judea to Bethlehem the town of David(😊❤) , it takes 3 days back then. They do not have airplanes, or ships, or trains but they walk with their donkeys and it makes sense they hope to look for an inn but no room for them( Joseph😊❤ , Mary😊❤, and Jesus( 😊1st❤) in the inn( or moderate day language today we called it hotel or motel and the Bible called it " inn " in Jesus(😊1st❤)'s time . When you travel a far, it make sense to first try to go to a hotel or inn but unfortunately "...because there was no room for them in the inn"( Luke 2:7b Zondervan NIV Study Bible so they went to a manger instead. A Lamb of God( Jesus😊1st❤ John 1:29😊❤) from heaven came back down to a manager, not in a palace or hospital but born in a manger? Do you also know what a manger is in Christ Jesus(😊1st❤ )? From high mobility to low mobility in Christ.( Philippians 2:1-11😊❤ ) in Christ. In Jesus'name, i pray( John 14:6😊❤; Luke 2:1-20😊❤). Amen.

Part 1 in Christ
Luke 2:8-20(The Shepherds and Angels)
"8 And there were shepherds(
😊❤
😊❤
😊❤😊❤
😊❤
😊❤
😊❤)
living out
in
the fields
nearby,
keeping watch(😊❤
"keep watch" = "against thieves and predatory animals" Zondervan NIV Study Bible) over their flocks
at night."(Luke 2:8 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
Pause in Luke 2;8 the Bible said " And there were shepherds living out of the fields nearby so the "living out of the field "in Luke 2:8a could mean " Does not necessarily mean it was summer,
the dry season. The flock reserved for temple sacrifice were kept in the field near Bethlehem throughout the years."( Zonddervan NIV Study Bible) and again the phase "keep watch"( Luke 2:8B Zondervan NIV Study Bible)" keep watch" means
"against thieves and predatory animals" Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
The what happen?
In Luke 2:9-12
"9 An angel( one angel) of the Lord appeared to them( shepherds😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤), and the glory(😊❤) of the Lord(😊❤)
shine around them( Just imagine the glory of the Lord shone around them back then in Jesus'time in Christ and now today pretend you were one of these shepherds and the glory of the Lord shone( shine) around you(😊❤ or 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤) and the how do you reaction? Or how do you feel my friend? What do you think these shepherd felt when"9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord 😊❤
shone
around them( at night remembering of Luke 2:8 "...at night."( Luke 2:8b Zondervan NIV Study Bible) , and they were terrified( that is the shepherds reaction were terrified, it also makes senses because imagine you were one of the shepherds( how many? only God knows), you were just doing your job as a shepherd(😊❤) to protect your flock (of sheeps) over
"against thieves and predatory animals( like wolves) " at night( Zondervan NIV Study Bible) and all the sudden
In Luke 2:9
"9 An angel of the Lord(😊❤ or Jesus(😊1st❤)'s
angel)
appeared to them( shepherds😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤), and the glory(😊❤) of the Lord(😊❤)
shine around them, and they were terrified( common reaction in Christ) ."( Luke 2;9 Zondervan NIV Study Bible).
It happened to Zechariah too in Luke 1:12
" 12 When Zechariah saw him( a angel), he was startled and was gripped with fear( so "fear" is a "common reaction" as with Gideon( Judges 6:22-23 and Manoah( Judges 13:22 ) too in Christ."( Zondervan NIV Study Bible) But that's not the end of the story because when they were fear or afraid or terrified or " with fear" .
In Luke 1:13
"13 But😊❤ the angel( Gabriel( Luke 1:19said so) 😊❤ here in this case for Zechariah encounter Gabriel😊❤) said to him(Zechariah 😊❤):
" Do not❤
be afraid,
Zechariah😊❤; your prayer has been heard, your wife Elizabeth 😊❤ will bear you a son, and you are to give him( John or John the Baptist later) the name John(😊❤). "( Luke 1:12-13 Zondervan NIV Study Bible so that Zechariah saw the angel Gabriel and then he with fear( very common reaction. If you see an angel of the Lord God you too will feel similar way or in awe or afraid or fear too) but Gabriel ( Luke 1:19, Luke 1:13 ) reassurance Zechariah do not be afraid.
"Do not be afraid" to me is equal (=) to love assurance from God through the angel( Gabriel) and opposite of fear= Do not be afraid. Imagine you were in Zechariah's shoes in fear or afraid and the angel( Gabriel , a good angel) said to you
" do not be afraid"
You might asked why not? Because the Bible said in your( or Zechariah's prayer) prayer has been heard( God listen to our prayers if according to His will in Christ) in
Luke 1:13,
"13 But😊❤ the angel( Gabriel( Luke 1:19) said to him(Zechariah 😊❤):
" Do not❤
be afraid,
Zechariah😊❤;
your prayer
has been
heard,
your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son,
and
you are to give him( John or John the Baptist later) the name John(😊❤). "( Luke 1:12-13 Zondervan NIV Study Bible )
This also happen to Mary(😊❤)
too in Luke 1:28-31
The Bible said,
"28 The angel( Gabriel) went to her and said, " Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord (😊❤) is with you."
29 Mary was greatly trouble at his words and wondered what kind of greating this might be.
30 But the angel sais to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary😊, you have found favor 😊❤
with God(😊100%❤).
31 You will be with a child( baby Jesus😊1st❤) and give birth to a son( Jesus😊1st❤)
, and you are to give him( Jesus😊1st❤)
the name Jesus(😊1st❤)."( Luke 1:28-31 Zondervan NIV Study Bible).
Since Luke 1:26-33 show the content and context on what's going on , so i will repeat these Scriptures in Christ( Jesus😊1st❤) in Christ
to make a point in Christ.
Luke 2:26-34
"26 In the sixth month, God(😊100%❤)
sent the angel Gabriel(😊❤)
to Nazareth, a town in Galilee,
27 to a virgin pledges to be married to a man named Joseph(😊❤)
, a descendant of David.
The virgin's name was Mary(😊❤).
28 The angel( Gabriel) went to her and said, " Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord (😊❤) is with you."
29 Mary was greatly trouble at his words and wondered what kind of greating this might be.
30 But the angel sais to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary😊, you have found favor 😊❤
with God(😊100%❤).
31 You will be with a child( baby Jesus😊1st❤) and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus(😊1st❤).
32 He(Jesus
😊1st❤)
will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High(😊❤). The Lord God(😊❤) will give him the throne of his father David,
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever😊❤; his(Jesus') kingdom will never end."
34 " How will this be, " Mary asked the angel, " Since I am a virgin? "
35 The angel answered, " The Holy Spirit(😊❤) will come upon you, and the power of the Most High(😊❤) will overshadow you.
So
the holy one to be born will be called the Son(Jesus😊1st❤)
of God(😊100%❤)
36 Even Elizabeth😊❤ your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month.
37 For nothing is impossible with God(😊100%❤)."
38 " I am the Lord's servant😊❤
, " Mary(😊❤) answered.
" May it be to me😊
as you have said❤." Then the angel left her."( Luke 1:26-38 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
Now the Scripture in Luke 2:9-12 makes sense
"9 An angel of the Lord(😊❤ or Jesus(😊1st❤)'s
angel)
appeared to them( shepherds😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤), and the glory(😊❤) of the Lord(😊❤)
shine around them, and they were terrified(" terrified "or "afraid " or " fear" or " terrified " is a common reaction in Christ when they see the angel(in Luke 2:9A) ."
But😊❤ the angel said to them( shepherds), "Do not be afraid.(period)"
I bring you(
😊❤
😊❤
😊❤😊❤
😊❤
😊❤
😊❤)
good news(😊❤ )
of great joy (😊❤)
that will be
for all people.
11 Today in the town of David a Savior(Jesus(😊1st❤)
, our Savior in Christ )
has been born to you( " you"= plural you for the Shepherds😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤) he( Jesus😊1st❤) is Christ( " Christ" means Messiah= Jesus😊1st❤) the Lord(Jesus😊1st❤).
12 This will be a sign to you( 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤): you will find a baby( baby Jesus😊1st❤) wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. "( Luke 2:9-12, above also meant to Share Luke 2:8-12 so far Zondervan NIV Study Bible and other Scriptures and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ also for Christ too in Christ too. So help us God. In Jesus'name, i pray(Luke 2:8-20(The shepherds and angels) and Happy Birthday to my savior(Jesus😊1st❤) and my Lord(Jesus😊1st❤) of lords and King(Jesus😊1st❤) of kings(Revelation 19:16 b) in Jesus'name, i pray(John 14:6😊❤).Amen.
Part 1 in Christ
the enemy is not free your identity he’s only a tint to make you feel like you have one to keep you feeling trapped once you have your ego death and your able to see the interconnection between everyone and how we choose who we are and we can truly be anything nothing has power over us or our beliefs in the process or in ourselves. remember who the enemy is.. we are all surrounded by ourselves let go. i learned how not to be so possessive this way because instead of keeping everythign that made me me to myself I was able to feel happy that I could be aroudn peopel who have the same insercurities or the same goals.

Maybe I should just end my own life since pastor Dennis took from me everything that ever made me happy including the life I had found when I first found Calvary of Albuquerque when I lived in Rio Rancho

29 Mary was greatly trouble at his words and wondered what kind of greating this might be.
30 But the angel sais to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary😊, you have found favor 😊❤
with God(😊100%❤).
31 You will be with a child( baby Jesus😊1st❤) and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus(😊1st❤).
32 He(Jesus
😊1st❤)
will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High(😊❤). The Lord God(😊❤) will give him the throne of his father David,
33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever😊❤; his(Jesus') kingdom will never end."
34 " How will this be, " Mary asked the angel, " Since I am a virgin? "
35 The angel answered, " The Holy Spirit(😊❤) will come upon you, and the power of the Most High(😊❤) will overshadow you.
So
the holy one to be born will be called the Son(Jesus😊1st❤)
of God(😊100%❤)
36 Even Elizabeth😊❤ your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month.
37 For nothing is impossible with God(😊100%❤)."
38 " I am the Lord's servant😊❤
, " Mary(😊❤) answered.
" May it be to me😊
as you have said❤." Then the angel left her."( Luke 1:26-38 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
Now the Scripture in Luke 2:9-12 makes sense
"9 An angel of the Lord(😊❤ or Jesus(😊1st❤)'s
angel)
appeared to them( shepherds😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤), and the glory(😊❤) of the Lord(😊❤)
shine around them, and they were terrified(" terrified "or "afraid " or " fear" or " terrified " is a common reaction in Christ when they see the angel(in Luke 2:9A) ."
But😊❤ the angel said to them( shepherds), "Do not be afraid.(period)"
I bring you(
😊❤
😊❤
😊❤😊❤
😊❤
😊❤
😊❤)
good news(😊❤ )
of great joy (😊❤)
that will be
for all people.
11 Today in the town of David a Savior(Jesus(😊1st❤)

12 This will be a sign to you( 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤): you will find a baby( baby Jesus😊1st❤) wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. "( Luke 2:9-12, above also meant to Share Luke 2:8-12 so far Zondervan NIV Study Bible and other Scriptures and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ also for Christ too in Christ too. So help us God. In Jesus'name, i pray(Luke 2:8-20(The shepherds and angels) and Happy Birthday to my savior(Jesus😊1st❤) and my Lord(Jesus😊1st❤) of lords and King(Jesus😊1st❤) of kings(Revelation 19:16 b) in Jesus'name, i pray(John 14:6😊❤).Amen.
Part 1 in Christ
Part 2
Psalm 23:1
"23 The LORD(or Lord Jesus😊1st❤) is my shepherd, I shall not be in want."( Psalm 23:1 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
1 John 4:18-19
"18There is no fear in love❤. But perfect love❤ drives out😊❤ fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
19 We 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤love ❤because he first loved us."( NIV)
Part 2 Luke 2:13-20
"13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God(😊100%❤) and saying,
14 " Glory (😊❤)
to God(😊100%❤)
in the hightest, and on earth peace(😊❤) to men on whom his favor rests."
15 When the angels had left them( shepherds)and gone into heaven, the shepherds(😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤)
said to one another,
" Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told is about."
16 So they hurried
and
found Mary(😊❤)
)
and Joseph(😊❤)
)
and the baby(Jesus😊1st❤) who was lying in a manger.
17 When they had seen him(Jesus😊1st❤), they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child(Jesus😊1st❤),
18 and all who heard it was amazed(😊
❤) at what the shepherds said to them.
19 But Mary( 😊❤) treasured up all these things and pondered( or wondered) them in her heart(❤).
20 The shepherds(😊❤❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤)
returned
glorifying(😊❤)
and
praising ( 😊❤) God( 😊100%❤) for all the things they had heard(😊❤) and seen(😊❤),
which were just as they had been told."( Luke 2:13-20 Zondervan NIV Study Bible. All parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ also for and in Christ Jesus(😊1st❤)
Just do what Jesus said ( Matthew 28:19-20😊❤), just the shepherds told people they were amazed, today what have you heard? What have you seen? Are you also glorifying (😊❤) and praising God( 😊❤) too in Christ for what He has done in our lives in Christ ? What do you think?
Luke 2:20
"20 The shepherds(😊❤❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤)
returned
glorifying(😊❤)

Genesis 8:13-18
"13 In the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried from off the earth. And Noah(😊❤) removed the covering of the ark and looked, and behold, the face of the ground was dry.
14 In the second month,
on the twenty- seventh day of the mouth, the earth had dried out.
15 Then God(😊100%❤) said to Noah,
16 " Go out from the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons' wives with you.
17 Bring out with you every living thing that is with you of all flesh- birds and animals and every creeping thing that creeps on the earth- that they may swarm(😊❤)
on the earth, and be fruitful(😊❤) and multiply(😊❤) on the earth."
18 So Noah(😊❤) went out , and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him.
19 Every beast,
every creeping thing and
every bird,
everything that moves on the earth, went out by families from the ark. "(Genesis 8:13-18 ESV)
In Genesis 8:15-17,
" God(😊100%❤)
instruction to Noah(😊❤) are reminiscent of chapter 1( of Genesis 1)(it reminds me Genesis 1:22 " And God blessed them, saying, " Be fruitful (😊❤) and multiply(😊❤) and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth." And also it also reminds me on Genesis 1:28
"28 And God blessed them(male and female from Genesis 1:27b ESV). And God said to them, " Be fruitful(😊❤) and multiply(😊❤) and fill(😊❤)
the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea
and
over the birds of the heavens
and
over every living thing that moves on the earth."(Genesis 1:28 ESV)
Again resume in Christ.
In Genesis 8:15-17,
" God(😊100%❤)
instruction to Noah(😊❤) are reminiscent of chapter 1((for examples, Genesis 1:22(😊❤)
; or Genesis 1:28(😊❤)), especially the statement that Noah(😊❤) and his family(of 8 included Noah) are to be fruitful and multiply on the earth.( see Genesis 1:28)"(ESV)
"In Genesis 8:18-19, in obedience to God, Noah goes out of the ark with his family and all the Creatures."(ESV)

Luke 1:57-66
"57 When it was time for Elizabeth(😊❤) to have her baby ( John the Baptist😊❤
), she gave birth to a son.
58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord( Jesus😊1st❤) had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy.
59 On the eighth day ( it's Jews' culture or custum to circumcise(
cut the foreskin of a child's private part of the child) they came to circumcise the child and they were going to name him(something else beside John) after his father( Zechariah😊❤)
66 but 😊❤
his mother( Elizabeth😊❤) spoke up 😊❤ and said❤, " NO! He is to be called John 😊❤( later in the Bible we called him John the Baptist😊❤)."
61 They( On the eight day they( the Jews), came to circumcise the child remember in Luke 1:59 a and the were going to name him after his father Zechariah( Luuke 1:59b Zondervan NIV Study Bible that "they") said to her, " There is no one among your relatives."( Zondervan NIV Study Bible) ( pause:
" Your relatives, not said "our relatives" they said so what does this imply to us who are "they"? )
Resume back to Luke 1:62-66
"62 Then they made signs( writing tools or signs language back then too)
to his father(Zechariah, the chosen priest😊❤ and also well known and integrity priest too.. remember where they live. Do you remember( Lume 1:39,39b just in case you forget where they live in Luke 1:39b remember? )

"20 And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day of this happens, because you did not believe my words( the angel's word😊❤), which will come true at their proper time."( Luke 1:20 Zondervan NIV Study Bible with this mind then come back to look with gladness😊❤ in Luke 1:64
Luke 1:64-66

Last Genesis sharing meant Genesis 7:17-24.
Now Genesis 8:1-19( The Flood Subsides)
Genesis 8:1-5
"8 But God(😊100%❤)
remember Noah(😊❤) and all the beasts and all the livestock that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind blow over the earth, and the water subsided.
2The foundation of the deep and windows of the heavens were closed, the rain from the heavens was restrained,
3and the water receded from the earth continually. At the end of 150 days the waters had abated,
4 and
in
the seventh month,
on the seventeenth day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountain of Ararat.
8 And the waters continued to abate until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen."( Genesis 8:1-5 ESV)
In Genesis 8:1 , " God remembered Noah..."
"This mark the turning point in the flood story. When the Bible says that God "remembers" someone or his covenant with someone, it indicates ( shows) that he is about to take action for that person's welfare(... Genesis 9:15
Genesis 19:29;
Genesis 30:32;
Exodus 2:24;
Exodus 32:13;
Psalm 25:6-7;
Psalm 74:2) all life on the land having been destroyed, God now proceeds to renew everything, echoing what he did in Genesis 1.
In Genesis 1:1b " God made a wind blow over the earth..."( H
Genesis 1:1b ESV) "( ESV)
" The Hebrews word for wind, ruakh, is also sometimes translated " Spirit"( For examples, Genesis 1:2
"2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters."(Genesis 1:2 ESV)
Genesis 6:3
"3 Then the LORD said, " My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh; his day shall be 120 years."( Genesis 6:3 ESV. In Genesis 6:3 explain from the Bible point of view why most people live under 12O years today. Because the Bible said in
Genesis 6:3
"3 Then the LORD said, " My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh; his day shall be 120 years."( Genesis 6:3 ESV)
Good thing we have Jesus

Luke 1:67-80( Zechariah's Song)
" 67 His father Zechariah was filled with Holy Spirit(😊❤) and prophesied:
68 " Praise be to the Lord(😊❤)
, the God( 😊❤)
of Israel(❤)
, because he has come and has redeemed his people.
69 He(the Lord, the God of Israel 😊❤)
has raised up a horn of salvation(😊❤)
for us in the house of his servant David(😊❤)
70( as he said through his holy prophets of long ago),"( Luke 1:67-70 Zondervan NIV Study Bible) In Jesus'name, i pray( Matthew 1:1-17( The Genealogy of Jesus) then we understand that Jesus Christ is the from line of David. And Matthew 1:17 " Thus there were fourteen, generations in all from Abraham(😊❤) to David(😊❤),
fourteen from David(😊❤) to exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Christ( Jesus😊❤)."( Matthew 1:17 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
So that Luke 1:69-70 again make sense in the Bible
Luke 2:69-70( yes, i repeat to make a point in Christ)
"69 He(the Lord, the God of Israel 😊❤)
has raised up a horn of salvation(😊❤)
for us in the house of his servant David(😊❤)
70( as he said through his holy prophets of long ago),"( Luke 1:69-70 Zondervan NIV Study Bible)
Now resume back to Scriptures of Luke 1:71-80
" 71 Salvatiom from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us-
72 to show mercy (😊❤)
to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant( 😊❤),
73 the oath he swore to our father Abraham(😊❤):"( Luke 1:73 Zondervan NIV Study Bible. I remember a faithful servant of God once share in recently year that Abraham( 2000 BC) Abraham's covenant is unconditional.
I remember what that faithful pastor said about the time line from Adam and Eve( around 4000 BC or 4175 BC)
Then Noah😊❤
(around 2500 BC universal Noah's covenant is conditional) then Abraham😊❤( 2500 BC( before Christ)= Abraham' s covenant is unconditional.
May God's unconditional love through Jesus(😊1st❤) also be with you in Christmas time too. In Jesus'name, i pray( Luke 2:10-12😊❤). Amen.
Then 1500 BC= Moses ( old Mosaic covenant was conditional covenant)and then up to David( 1000 BC) = David ( unconditional covenant if i did not misrecall from memory in Christ) and then finally to Jesus( A.D. 30) = Jesus(😊1st❤)raised from the grave is conditional covenant."- from one of the faithful one in Christ too. Only God knows why i share this before resume back to Luke 1:74-80
"74( a) to Rescue us from the hand of our enemies( pause. Jesus said love our enemies. In Jesus'name, i pray( Matthew 5:43-48). Amen.
Jesus said in red words in Christ.
Matthew 5:43-48(Love for Enemies, NIV) Jesus quoted and said in the Bible.

7 and she( Mary😊❤) gave birth to her firstborn a son(Jesus😊1st❤).
She( Mary😊❤) wrapped him(Jesus😊1st❤) in cloths( must under the custum and the cloths too if you can too. Do you know what our Lord is wrapped in cloths) and place him(Jesus😊1st❤) in a manager(Do you also understand what a manager is? We all know what a hospital is but what about a manger in Christ), because
there was
no room
for them( Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus(😊1st❤) in the inn. "( Luke 2:1-7 Above all in all above in Christ from Zondervan NIV Study Bible. And all parenthesis parts and symbols of Christ also for and in Christ too. The Bible makes sense. When you travel from Nazareth in Galilee to Judea to Bethlehem the town of David(😊❤)
, it takes 3 days back then. They do not have airplanes, or ships, or trains but they walk with their donkeys and it makes sense they hope to look for an inn but no room for them( Joseph😊❤
, Mary😊❤, and Jesus( 😊1st❤) in the inn( or moderate day language today we called it hotel or motel and the Bible called it " inn " in Jesus(😊1st❤)'s time . When you travel a far, it make sense to first try to go to a hotel or inn but unfortunately "...because there was
no room
for them in the inn"( Luke 2:7b Zondervan NIV Study Bible so they went to a manger instead. A Lamb of God( Jesus😊1st❤ John 1:29😊❤)
from heaven came back down to a manager, not in a palace or hospital but born in a manger?
Do you also know what a manger is in Christ Jesus(😊1st❤ )?
From high mobility to low mobility in Christ.( Philippians 2:1-11😊❤ ) in Christ.
In Jesus'name, i pray( John 14:6😊❤; Luke 2:1-20😊❤). Amen.

Matt I want to come to Sheologie like I signed up for, all night I dreamed about my dad dieing, I am afraid if I go there Pastor Dennis is going to kill my dad, honestly if he was going to kill anyone maybe he should just kill me because he has never allowed me to marry Mateo, or the fire department man. I have always been stuck here in this little old house
