“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Though you are little among the thousands ofJudah ,
Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
The One to be Ruler inIsrael
Whose goings forth are from of old,
From everlasting.”
Though you are little among the thousands of
Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
The One to be Ruler in
Whose goings forth are from of old,
From everlasting.”
As was prophesied, out of Bethlehem
Angels sang of his birth and shepherds
visited him.
The Jews were looking for someone to
deliver them from the hands of the Romans, and no one understood about the
Kingdom Jesus was to rule over.
During World War II, a Dutch woman
sat near a wireless waiting for a message of Good news about a deliverer coming
to rescue them; outside forces with their troops, planes, and tanks.
National crisis and political forces
cause us to want an outside deliverer, we desire a transfer of power to change
our situation, but there is none coming.
Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth
who was pregnant with John, and the babe leaped for joy in her womb at the
sound of Mary’s voice. We think of
mother’s singing a lullaby, but Mary’s song was different.
A song foretelling of a power
transfer to a new King, and expecting salvation and deliverance. Not just one day of victory, but moment by
moment.
What does “Captive” mean?
AA says we are helpless to help ourselves.
We have many problems, health, loss of job, rebellious
children, and are captive to the dynamics of human life. We seem powerless to find a solution. Most of which are insolvable.
Worship of little gods, that take up room in our
hearts. These gods do not care about
us. People are addicted to various
things. All sorts of gods get in the way
of the True God. We desire a deliverer
and then came Jesus Christ and in him was HOPE for a transfer of power. Power to overcome our addictions.
Power within for each day of our lives. God with us and in us; Emanuel.
God transferred power in the form of Jesus,
and he in turn transfers that power to us so that we might be free to live
Godly lives.

I think what you typed was very reasonable. But, think on
this, what if you added a little content? I mean, I
don't wish to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added a post title that makes people want more? I mean "Transfer of Power" is a little boring. You should peek at Yahoo's home page and see how they create article titles to grab
people interested. You might try adding a video or a related picture or two
to get readers interested about everything've got to say. In my opinion, it could make your blog a little bit more interesting.

I used the Title of my Pastors Sermon, sorry if it did not grab you! Your comments sounded a bit more than a computer so I allowed it to print!
Well said, sister! We have the power of God now within us to live above our flesh. Too often we worship the provision instead of the Provider. A good reminder. Thanks.
