Message: Because of God's love, He gave us a gift, when we accept the gift, He is with us. God desired to be with those He created, but saw man's depravity. Flesh corrupted it's way on the earth, wanting kings to rule them, rejecting God. It divided them leading them into destruction and captivity. Man became wise in his own eyes; God became silent. They were in darkness for 400 years without God, but there was a promise of forerunners to the Messiah, announcing His arrival. Then, there was a Light, when Jesus Christ came as man; God working through His creation. Saints of God have Christ with us, dwelling in us through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gives us hope and comfort and never leaves us. Let God be with you in a fully present way. Stir up the gift of God in you, fan the flames and continue to kindle it. We can give devotion and prayer, however, we can also step out into our gifts, talents and abilities. The Holy Spirit engages us, reminds us and leads us into spiritual truths. We will not be left or forsaken, so trust God, knowing He is with us.
Scripture: John 1:14 "And the Word became 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." NKJV
