When we share our Faith, sometimes, maybe most times we tend to speak a lot about us. When what we were called to do is to speak about HIM.
Have you taken the time…
To tell them about your Supernatural, Miracle Working, Promise Keeping, Living God who changed your life.
“In the Beginning God”, Who:
• Created the Heavens and the Earth
• Saved Noah and his family in the Ark, from the flood
• Spoke to Moses from a burning bush
• Parted the Red Sea, so Israel could walk on dry ground
• Fed millions daily for 40 years in the wilderness
• Provided guidance and protection by the Pillar of Fire
• Conquered huge nations on behalf of his chosen people
• Provided 10 commandments, written by His finger. Not for rules to follow
that make you righteous, but rules to prove you cannot keep them and to
show your need of a Savior to make you righteous
• Sent His Son, Jesus to be born of a Virgin according to prophecy
• Jesus, who healed the blind, the deaf, the leper and the diseased
• Jesus, who walked on water, then told the sea…Be Still and it listened
• Jesus, who fed 5,000 and now becomes the Bread of Life to you
• Jesus, who took your place on the Cross and died for your sins
• Jesus, who promised He would come back again!

After carefully examining the following I am sure you will see that no one else in all of history other than Jesus, has fulfilled these Messianic prophecies.
• HE will be born of a virgin. (Isaiah 7:14, see Matthew 1:23)

God also gave the Jewish rabbis who lived during the time of the birth of Jesus specific prophecies so they would be able to recognize WHO the Messiah would be. These spiritual leaders of Israel (Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes) spent their entire lives studying the Old Testament searching for their coming Messiah.
They missed CHRISTmas! They also missed the fact that the Messiah belongs to every person created by GOD in His Image; not just to the nation of Israel.
• Who is the seed (offspring) of the woman who crushes the head of satan? Genesis 3:15
• Who is the seed of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob that will bless all nations? Genesis 12: 2,3; 22:18
• Who is the “Prophet like Moses” of whom God says, “You must listen to Him?” Deuteronomy 18:15
• Who is the one Crucified? Psalm 22.
• Who is the child that is
GOD and will have an everlasting kingdom? Isaiah 9: 6-7
• Who was crushed and pierced for our transgressions so that we would be healed by His wounds; upon whom did the Lord lay the iniquity of all mankind? Isaiah 53
Who is the Righteous Branch, the wise king, who will be called “The Lord Our righteousness?” Jeremiah 23: 5,6
• Who is the “Anointed One” to be “Cut Off “-killed after 483 years? Daniel 9: 24-27
• Who is the one who is eternal, who will be ruler over Israel, who is born in Bethlehem Ephrathah?” Micah 5:2
• Who is Jehovah (God), “The one they have pierced”, for whom Jerusalem and all the nation of Israel will weep and mourn? Zechariah 12:10
Indeed WHO is God speaking about in these prophetic Messianic Scriptures? Open your heart as God Himself speaks to you from Proverbs 30:4
Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment ?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is His name, and what is His SON’s name, surely you know!
Here in the Old Testament you find GOD Word saying HE has a SON!
“To HIM give all the prophets witness”… (Acts 10:43).“In the volume of the book it is written of ME”… (Ps. 40:7; Heb. 10:7).
