Is Christ the Lord Real in You?

Amen, praise the Lord. We thank God for this day 23rd day of Hallelujah 2018. Amen. And as we are entering into the end of the calendar year, we thank God for all things. Especially we know that this time is the time that the Romans set aside to recognize and Savior Jesus Christ, we understand even through history and ends and studies and different things in the actual season of his original universally set aside and let you recognize that a savior was born unto us that we do not have to go through this life broke busted and disgusted whether it's in our finances are in your attitude, but that we have a savior from our sins in order to be saved for MRSA. Is a Saviour had to come and he came into this Earth Rude the person of Jesus Christ the word made flesh. As of the question I want to ask you is Christ. The lord real is Christ the lord real in you Christ the Savior the Lord not only is he your savior, but can is he also your Lord? Amen meaning? He's that he's your master that he gives you directions that you follow him concerning all things work for him for direction and instruction that he has priority and authority over every area and situation and decision in your life. And is he real to you or is he just a figure in a nativity? Crazy just some good idea or concept that you judge that you used to discern between good and bad or good and evil. You should be more than that. Is he your lord is he is the Christ your lord and in order for him to be your lord, you're going to have to experience his Divine favor and his Saving Grace a man a man last time that we work together to speak life and not death towards the promises that God has over a life. Cuz God has not forgotten us. Sometimes we think we're going through so many situations and circumstances that the things that God has promised us all of a sudden it may not necessarily be important or no Android as of God has forgotten but we know that even as your soul Zacharias the promise that God gave him and his wife to have a child it was still there. And when God comes and he pissed at you to remind you, I have not forgotten you we have to make sure that we respond and faith and not in fear and faith with doubt. It's one thing to say Lord to wonder how something will have to wonder how God is going to do it. But you can Wonder without debit you can Wonder without fear you can Wonder without disbelief all of you. And so what is this mean you will have what does that have to do with Christ being really need you? Well often times. We associate that sensory action of touching or feeling with the ability to experience something first-hand. You know, what's real feelings while you know, how do I know that that leather is real. Let me let me feel it. See if it's leather or pleather, you know, is that real powerful first? Let me see it. Let me see it. You know that kind of thing. Send to Mike was each believer has to have in a personal encounter with God and he they have to have a personal counter for themselves to experience God for themselves to see that God is real in their lives. I can tell you all day long that God is he I can tell you all day long that God can deliver and set you free your mind and called the chaos that go on date today until you experience for yourself. You will never know him as

You'll never truly know him in that in that way. And so with that how what does will it take for God to be real in your life don't you know God is real. He knows he knows each and every one of us by name even Isaiah 41. Talks about how God has called us before we were even born that he called us even within the US by our name. That's how real are got it. God is so real that he cares about you and everything that concerns you even in Psalm 138 and it says that the Lord will perfect that which concerneth Me by Mercy of yours forever for sick. Not the work of thine own. He made you and he could be concerned about everything that bothers you that worries you that is a thought that's on your mind. But you have an interest in God cares about that tune. So it doesn't matter even those situations or the circumstances are in the environment that you may even be that you are exactly where God has to be don't you know, God has a bigger plan. There's a bigger picture going on. How do we know this? Girl, Mary and Anne as she is going to be facing some situations and circumstances and all the sudden. She's wondering OK. I know the god of my forefathers as a descendant of David. She knew of the god of Abraham Isaac and Jacob she even knew about the mischievous knew some of the scriptures and different things and even with that she had to know for herself that. The God has not forgotten her and God became real to her. Not just because she was chosen but because God created her and just get it just as God is great at each and everyone of us. God has chosen us got his God wants to prove himself for real in our line. It doesn't matter who you are or what you been through or even what you make currently be doing this even shepherds in the field. Say hello lonely job and they were they kept watch over the she taking care of stinky sheets all day and all night all year round. Everybody wanted to associate with her, but guess what? God has not forgotten them. God still wanted them to know that guess what I want to demonstrate myself to you. I don't want to prove myself real even in your lines. So God Did It For The Shepherd's of God. Did it? Even for Mary? How much more is he going to do it for you? God wants to prove himself real in you but you got to be open to receive it. So is Christ the lord is he real? Let's look at Luke chapter 1 verse 26 album. Remember this is back with Zacharias and with his wife Elizabeth Zacharias and Elizabeth. They received the visitation from the angel Zachariah gods. And now at this point of Elizabeth is just about six months. I'm 6 months pregnant and she is about and and she has just had the encounter with six months ago with with with her husband and different things. And so now she's about to give birth. She'll be soon getting birth to John do we know it's going to be John the Baptist and it continues on and put in chapter one to say in the 26 verse and it's a 6-month the angel Gabriel was sent from God and to the city of Galilee can't now Gabriel six months ago was sent over to visit to visit Zacharias. And now he's going over to Nazareth the city of the House of David and the Virgin Mary and the angel came in unto her and said, hey now art highly favored. Blessed art thou among women and when she saw him she was troubled at his sing and cast in her bun what manner of salutation this should be and the angel said unto her fear not married, but don't have found favor with God now has found favor with God and the behold Thou shalt can see in thy womb and bring forth a son and shall call his name Jesus. He shall be great and he shall be the son of the height and the Lord God shall give him the Throne of his father day. Hallelujah, so we see here that when the angel came to him to marry even a verse 28 Universe 28 Angel recognized her I said you are the arc highly favored and that really ends highly favored me is full of grace and not this to say that Mary herself was a dispenser of divine grace that she was a recipient of the and don't you know that anyone and everyone calls upon the name of the Lord have mercy and believes that the Lord Jesus Christ. He has come into the world and died on the cross and rose again for their sins can also received the divine grace of God. The grace wasn't just remarried. It's also for us so you can experience the Divine favor of God in the divine. Grace of God, if you choose to say, you know what I need help. I cannot continue this life on my own. It's available to give you two can be highly favored in the in the side of gum. And then the angel was speaking to her and that she had the reverential fear of God should have you ever interfere of God and the end the end of begin to explain to her again, you know that you have found favor with God God sees your heart disease that you have a love and devotion for him. He has not forgotten you. About to prove himself real to you right now with a way like no other and that's what you said God. Yes, what you shall conceive the song. You show me in for the insane tropical Jesus. You shall be great and he shall be called the son of the highest and the Lord God shall give unto him the Throne of his father and he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever more and others Kingdom there shall be knowing then said Mary how shall this be singing? I know not a men don't remember the last time somebody asked a real question like that you got for you, too, but guess what? Missy Mary understood that the angel was speaking of an immediate conception and someone doing this and she knew that she and Joseph were still in the midst of this long Patrol. So they have days don't know each other like that. You're still saying in separate houses according to the traditions and everything. She still a virgin. So how okay. I know I believe what you're telling me about. How kids but how is this going to be done? Because I'm about to break the Covenant and Keystone and different things in order for this to happen. So her question was born out of Wonder. Out of jail or just believe so that's why the angel did not rebuke her but the angel did provide her with answer. We see that in verse 35 And the angel answered and said unto her the Holy Ghost shall come upon you and the power of the highest to overshadow the therefore also that Holy thing which is which shall be born of these shall be called The Son of God. She was about to have a Divine encounter with God in a way that wasn't spooky spiritual in a way that you didn't even reflect that of what some of the Pagan mythology believe. It happened like Angels coming down and enjoy doing different cohabitating with with human. It wasn't like that. This was literally and creative act of the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah first 36th Tulsa and be home by cousin Elizabeth. She has also can see the sun in her Olden and this is the sixth month with her who was called God nothing shall be impossible. And this is how the angel confirmed to marry just it seems like this is so strange. This could never happen, but I'm telling you our God is a god of the impossible. Because with God nothing is impossible. And God can do it for your cousin Elizabeth. How much more can you do? And so we thank God because it was with this that we seen Mary accepting the touch accepting the experience and she's about to have saying and Mary said behold by handmaid of the Lord and be it unto me according to Thy word and the angel departed from her. So marry knowing all this really meant even how society would now treat her. She was an extremely embarrassing a difficult position because of the jobs that she was going to face. There is a stigma of being an unwed mother. Basically she's going to and of course Jose with all this we know it wasn't his child. So there's going to be accusations of adultery. It was to be threatened and what if there was an accusation about don't you don't you know that it was punishable by stoning. So even knowing the possibilities in the threats that will come she's still yielded to the will of God cuz she knew God was green. I would go all things are possible and nothing is impossible that if this God can send an angel down to her to talk to her and I'm sure she didn't know that this but also haven't talked to Joseph to have a nation controlled the most definitely God can do anything even come down and said more angels to protect her even if she did get in a Sony position. Cuz that's the kind of God that we serve a God wanted to prove himself real in their lives. They look I've come to save you from yourself. I've come to save you from tradition and doctrine of men. I come to save you from a patient's of the enemy. I've come to save you. From the depression them from the guilt and from the shame. I'm coming to save you from these things. And sober Sunday night and Mariah Rose. And in those days went into the Hill Country which phase and into the city of Judah and entered the house of Zacharias and Elizabeth and it came to pass that when Elizabeth her to tell you Tatian of Mary the vein in her room and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost and she speak out loud voices said blessed art. Thou among blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And when is this and went is this to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me don't you know the Holy Ghost Inside of Elizabeth and knowledge could recognize the Lord Jesus Christ seated already in the inside of her cousin, Mary. I said, oh my goodness the mother of my Lord and Savior has come to greet me. For low as soon as the voice of a salutation sounded in my ears the baby in my womb for joy and blessed. Is she that believed were there shall be a performance. Of those things which the Lord which which were told her told her from the Lord don't you know, God is going to perform something every single thing. Has told you he is going to perform at he is going to demonstrate it. It's about to be real and you it's about to be real for you. So that's why we can leave with you and say thank you Jesus. Why because we choose not only to believe what we were seeing never single promise. God is giving up. Whatever it is that you are believing God for know that God has not forgotten you let God be real in your life stay tuned for the demonstration for the performance that he's about to do in Jesus name and this was Mary's praise unto gum. Whatever. This is Mary's praise unto God hallelujah because she even saying that and she says and Mary said my soul doth magnify the Lord my soul hath rejoiced in God my savior for he has regarded the low state of his handmaiden. She got her some nothing more that even as a slave to a certain extent, but guess what she says is nice a guy. Even though I may not think of myself as highly as I am as as other people may see me, but God sees me as she continues on to even to declare some of the covenants of scripture and in the promises God has given for behold and from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed for he that is mighty has done to me great things. Holy is his name and his Mercy is on them that fear Him from generation to generation. He has shown strength with his arm. He had scattered the crowd in the imagination of their hearts. We have to put down the mighty from their suit. He exalted them of low degree. He has filled the Hungry with good things and the rich have sent away and send empty away in remembrance of his Mercy. He spanked to our fathers to Abraham into his seat forever and marry a boat with her about three months and returned to our own house. So even married even during that time to clear, you know, what I recognize all the promises of Abraham when some good things Hallelujah, he's going to help you why because he is a keeper of his promise. He's a covenant keeper. And so Mary returned after that time about three months and now she's about three months along and she goes on and she returns to her own house because remember at that time they were still Joseph and Mary were still in separate houses. And then later on if you skip over to chapter 2 it says and it came to pass in those days 3 went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world the census census first took place while pournaras was covering governing Syria show all went to be registered everyone to his own Joseph also went up From Galilee out of the city of Nazareth to Judea to the city of Bethlehem, which is called Sin City of David because he was out of the house and lineage of dated to be registered with Mary.

So it was that while they were there the days were completed for her to be delivered and she brought forth her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a Manger because there was no room for them in the end. Hallelujah, and so you see here that they even though the journey that both Joseph and Mary had to make it to their tribal home in Judea to the register because they were both descended the date. That was a very very difficult Journey with over 70 Mi to rain and it was about to give birth but they also were aware that will want to go through all that trouble life with your wife or your wife In Harm's Way like that. They also recognize the prophecy of scripture. They also I'm sure it was a conscious thing.

Hallelujah, and so while they were there she gave birth and bereft and they wrapped him in swaddling clothes in the interesting thing about waiting with buying strips of cloth and Lily kind of wrap a child up to protect their skin and different thing as well. And only those only those people who were basically well often do such a thing. If you have to have no money at all, you would not be doing this. Even God was the first part of his promise about making sure that the how do you make sure that Jesus even as a baby that God gave the resources to the parents, even though that they weren't necessarily in a room they had what they needed. Secure the Son of God wasn't that awesome Hallelujah talk about providing every single thing that you need the Lord. Now there were in the same country Shepherds living out in the field keeping watch over their flock by night about Christ the lord being real to us. No matter who you are about your station in life. No matter what you think you are other people think you are God wants to prove himself a real to you Mary didn't think of herself as all that. Chichi thought she was in love with all the trouble that nobody saw her but God saw her. And even the Shepherds who are working out in the field now we can keep in mind that the Shepherds that they were in Bethlehem because it was Jerusalem and many of the sheet that were used for temple sacrifices in Jerusalem were often kept fair in Bethlehem. So they were Barbies are people who sang Kee they're out in the animals are associated associated with people. I don't think so until we get a glimpse of okay, they work with these animals day in day out all year round and behold. Nobody else wants to see and be home an angel of the Lord stood before them and the glory of the Lord Shone around them and they were greatly Bendy angel said to them do not be afraid for I bring you good tidings of great joy, which will be to all people or there is warrant you this day in the city of David a savior. Who is Christ?

And this will be the sign to you. You will find a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger and suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly Host praising God and saying glory to God in the highest and on Earth peace Goodwill.

So it was when the angels has gone away from them into heaven that the shepherd said to one another let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass which the Lord has made known to us. Does that sound like a performance to some people who believe that's about to believe Hallelujah. I don't you know that God knew we send an angel but he sent a host a mighty Army and even the Revelation that tells us that we cannot even fathom the actual number of angels that actually make up a Heavenly Host. So many angels filled the sky to declare the glory and to the praise unto God for his savior being born. For $0.16 and they came with haste. They didn't take their time. They came with me about Mary and Joseph and the baby lying in the major. Now Wednesday has seen him. They made widely known the same with was told to them concerning. This time is Christ the Lord hallelujah all those who hurt if Marvel that those things which were told to them by the Shepherds, but Mary kept all these things and pondered them a heart. Then the Shepherds returned wordfinder praising God with all the things that they were all this means that they had seen and for her dancing as it was told to them. Hallelujah, so the Shepherds they had an encounter with God. They Christ the lord became real in them. They were in a place in the field where nobody else was. What day were the right place at the right time and the Yen still experience the favor and the grace of God? What's all them so whatever it is, whatever situation or environment or circumstance your and it might seem lonely. It might seem frustrated and might seem confusing but you still have to know that God has got you covered and that if that's a place of Grace that's a place where go to give got to buy in favors about to demonstrate over you for your about to see a performance of the things that he has told you. So what is it that God has told you What is it that God has told you cuz he's about to perform so don't move from that place. Walking pulse rate. What is Shepard said, you know what we tired of grazing here. Everybody's taking advantage of us.

Don't miss out. Be open and be ready to receive the performance how God is going to manage. This is something you can experience him in a new one a different way and experience in for real for real for real. Hallelujah, I just wanted her to today. As we get ready to celebrate on Christmas day in different things. Yes presents are nice. But most importantly we want to thank God for my family and friends and loved ones, but we went thank God for sending his son. His son was born to die. He was born to as the Savior to us just save us from ourselves from our sin and not only that but also as our loan semester to show us to give us directions so we can live this life. Hallelujah My presence is an encouragement to you to continue to stay the course. God has not forgotten you if you have not experienced God and a new if you have encouraged you to seek his face and it be open. So I need you to what I want to touch you, but I want to see things that you have told me there for I'm going to choose to stay in your presence. I'm going to choose to believe every single thing that you have cold and I'm hoping to receive it. I have you are going to do exactly that. rescue Conference in June
