Christmas Blessings!

Dear Partners, Friends & Family, 

"Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, and the strength of salvation; The fear of the Lord is His treasure. Surely their valiant ones shall cry outside, the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly. The highways lie waste, the traveling man ceases. He has broken the covenant, He has despised the cities, He regards no man"" Isaiah 33:6-8.

You can see from the above scripture that when the world is in troubled times and under the attack of darkness, as it is at present, it needs God's wisdom and knowledge. It requires God's wisdom and knowledge. In these times, more than ever, we need to put our hope in God and His Word. He is the strength of our salvation, and He is our treasure.  

Jesus said, "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world" John 16:33.

"Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us" Romans 8:37.

"I write to you, fathers, because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, little children, because you have known the Father" 1 John 2:13

"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world" 1 John 4:4.

"Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?" 1 John 5:5

You were born again to win, born to overcome! You are a winner! You are an overcomer! Yes, you are! Because the greater one lives in you, and greater is He that is I you than He that is in the world!

You are called to reign and rule in life through Jesus Christ!

The peace of God is different from the peace of the world. Jesus said, "My peace, give I unto you."

Biblical peace is not just the absence of conflict. It is taking action to restore a broken situation. That's what Jesus did. That is what we MUST DO! It's a state of wholeness and completeness.

God desires for you and I to be WHOLE. He desires for us to live in a peaceful world that is full of love and goodness. That is the true meaning of Christmas. God so loved the whole world that he gave (the greatest Christmas present ever!) His only Son Jesus Christ, that we might have life!

The enemy comes only to steal, kill and destroy! However, the night that Christ was born, the angels sang, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Luke 2:14

Our responsibility as Christians is to maintain God's peace on earth, and we do this by exercising our authority through the Name of Jesus, binding Satan's power and pulling down His Kingdom. Through prayer, we are to uphold our governments, praying for a righteous government and righteous laws, that will be a blessing to all. The bible says, "When the righteous are in power, the people rejoice!" The church is the salt of the earth! We are to pray for all people to be saved and come to the great knowledge of the Son of God. 

Jesus is the reason for the season! He has promised that He will return!  At the end of the book of Revelation, Jesus says, "He is coming quickly." Our response to that statement must be, as it states in Revelation 22:20, "Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus." The last verse in the book of Revelation says, "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen." 

What we as Christians need is a fresh revelation of God's grace. This knowledge will give us stability and peace through troubled times until The Rapture or 'catching up' of the church.  

Today, it is time for our spirits to rejoice in God our Saviour. We, like Mary, have been highly favoured. We are the blessed of the Lord. We have found favour with God because unto us a child is born, and unto us, a Son is given (Isaiah 9:6).  

This has been a strange year, to say the least. But I want to encourage every reader that God is still on the throne and He has not changed His mind about your life. 

It says in Isaiah 9:7, "Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this."

What stands out to me in this verse is the words' increase', 'peace', 'judgment', 'justice' and that last line 'the zeal of the Lord will perform this'. Don't you just love this scripture? It is jammed packed, with life, goodness, hope and God is zealous to perform His Word and establish it, in our lives.  His Kingdom reigns overall!  

Friends, family, get ready for peace, justice and increase. God is on our side.  I dare you to believe this! I dare you to decree this. I dare you to believe that you are heading into the best year ever! Regardless of what is happening around you or in the world, look at what is in you and upon you. Lift up your eyes to the hills and praise the Lord!  Keep your eyes on Jesus and decree and declare peace and increase are yours, in His name. 

Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Bethlehem means 'house of bread'. Remember, Jesus said, "I am the true bread that has come down from heaven."  

I like to think about the plans and the purposes of God. It says in Jeremiah 29:11, 'God has a plan and a purpose for our lives, that is all good and ends in a future filled with hope, where your dreams are all fulfilled (my translation and expansion).' We do not have to fear the present or the future. We can live in a place of peace and safety by trusting in the Lord and His plan for our life.  

I dare you to share the love of God and the joy that it brings, when you know your sins are forgiven, you are saved, and your name is written in the Lambs Book of Life.  I dare you to share this with your family and your friends this Christmas. In the New Year, I dare you to become a soul winner, healer and a restorer of the breach, bringing families back to Jesus and His kingdom in 2024.

From my family to yours, we pray that this Christmas season, you and your family find a renewed hope and a new confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ and His plan of revival and blessing for your life. He is concerned about every detail of your life and has made a way and total provision for you to enjoy His best in life. We wish everyone of you a happy, peaceful, joyous and Merry Christmas and a Prosperous 2024.

God bless,

Ps. Shaun Marler & Family
