The Gift of Christ

Luke 2:11 NKJV
For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.

At Christmas the world reminds itself of the birth of Jesus. He is the ultimate gift and we give gifts to others in remembrance of that gift. It is the gift that freed mankind to be born again, born In heaven. The gift of salvation and freedom.

Only the Holy Ghost can set you free. Why is it so hard to walk in the spirit? We already have it all and only have to walk out in the truth of who we are in Christ.

God does not bring things into our life to teach us. Satan brings things to interfere with our walk with Jesus. As we focus on the truth of who we are in Christ we rise above that tribulation.

We can focus on our earthly existence still alive in who we used to be. We can work hard to try and use our own understanding to fix what is wrong. To lean to others in their lectures, sermons, and books. We can work hard to fix what is dead. Or we can walk in who we are in Christ and rise above it all.

We cannot fix ourselves or others. Only the Holy Spirit can help them to understand the choices they need to make. Only He can heal them. We cannot be Holy Spirit for them no matter how right we are.

We use the things we learn to live our life for Jesus rather than to correct others. Our revelation is for our walk. We can share it with others but not use it to try and fix them. Only by the Holy Spirit will that revelation of ours touch their life.

May we truly celebrate Jesus on Christmas Day and every day of the year.
