It Can Only Get Better-The Test and Trials of Life

Boy, what a week I had. I felt like Job from the Bible; bad report after bad report. But I feel so blessed to have to someone strong, gentle, righteous and loving on my side: G-d. My faith was certainly being tested this week, but I could always feel G-d drawing me even closer to Him. I was starting to wonder where He was. But He was right there all the time; encouraging me and reminding me Who was in control.


You know. It seems that's when we feel closer to G-d; in the storm. At least I do. We can become complacent in our every day lives. The run-of-the mill routines of work, no rest, bills, more tests. I am just so glad to have a friend in Y'shua. I really could not have made it through this week.


I wanted to share my story, because I believe that I can't separate my physical life from my spiritual. It's all or nothing to me. This is how I make it through those rough days; G-d's Strong Arm and Gentle Touch.  And that is why I want to say, Thank YOU with a song, L-rd.

What does Y'shua/Jesus Christ have to do with Channukah?

 Many people will not understand this or agree with it, but please just open your hearts and mind to what the Spirit is saying. Y'shua or Jesus Christ has nothing to do with Christmas. In fact, today is the first day of Channukah. It is considered a Jewish holiday, because Y'shua went to the Jews first. The Law was given to them to be a light to the nations. (See More Below)





The fact is Y'shua/Jesus was conceived on the first day of Channukah and 9 months later, He was born.  Today, is the Day that Y'shua was placed inside the womb of the Virgin Mary, by the Holy Spirit of YHVH.
 Matthew 1:18-25

18 Now this is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant by the Holy Spirit.

19 Joseph, her fiance being a just man, decided to break the engagement quietly, so as not to disgrace her publicly.

20 As he considered this, he fell asleep, and an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. "Joseph, son of David," the angel said, "do not be afraid to go ahead with your marriage to Mary. For the child within her has been conceived by the Holy Spirit.

21 And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus,/Y'shua* for he will save his people from their sins."⁶

22 All of this happened to fulfill the Lord's message through his prophet:

23 "Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and he will be called Immanuel* (meaning, God is with us)."⁷

24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord commanded. He brought Mary home to be his wife,

25 but she remained a virgin until her son was born. And Joseph named him Jesus.

 
So His Birthday actually comes in the Fall, on the Feast of Tabernacles, the first day of Sukkot, found in the book of Leviticus 23. It is not unknown, neither is on Christmas. 

Y'shua is the fullfilmement of G-d's Law. Therefore this makes sense that we were given both His conception and His Birth date, although many claim not to know the actual birthday of the L-rd
