Christmas Devotionals (11 of 25) by Jason Major

Read MATTHEW 1:18-25 (NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION)

“Come to Christmas Mountain, again and again. Yes, be encouraged that Christmas Mountain is also ‘Father Christmas Mountain’.  I am Father Christmas, My Child.  I want you to enter into a place of healing and belonging where you are always welcome and always accepted.  It is time for fear to become something that belongs in the past; not your present. Love will overcome the fear that you have felt in your life.”

“I know that it is hard to go from years of broken dreams to hope and dreaming again.  It is time to restore hope to your life.  That is the meaning of Christmas. The first Christmas was a time when hope had been destroyed for many people.  Imagine living in the time of the Romans, oppressed again and again.  Now, take on the additional stress of not only knowing this but having a pregnant wife who is carrying the Son of God.”

“Joseph had an unbelievable burden and weight and responsibility to see the Child Jesus grow up into the Saviour.  It was not possible in his limited understanding of how to make impossible dreams happen.  Think of it! Joseph was not a king or warrior but a simple carpenter tasked with the importance of being part of the biggest dream in human history- the redemption of mankind.  It is only the Father, the Heavenly Father, or ‘Father Christmas’, that could bring such an impossible task to light.”

“You have impossible dreams.  Imagine what it would be like to see the impossible dreams of Jesus be born.  For the impossible first steps of baby Jesus to take place.  Impossible dreams can be guided by impossible means.  Nothing is impossible for God.  The Nativity Star represents My Spirit guiding and leading in the night.  A Star to guide them.”

“Let my love be with you, let My love heal and redeem you and restore to you hope.”

Journal Entry: Father, what are some of the impossible dreams in my heart; and what do You want to speak to me about them?
