GOD'S.GIFTS.ALWAYS.FIND.THEIR.PLACES 20 But what difference does it make? ...if they was

doing it in July or August, whenever it might be, it's still the sacredness of remembering that "God gave us the hope that we have in us." And now, you say, "Well, the rest of them's all Santa Claus and going on like they do; why, we just might as well do it." No, sir!

No, this is not a pagan celebration to us, this is a sacred hour. If there had been no Christmas, there would been no resurrection. If there been no Christmas: there'd been no love, there'd been no peace, there'd been no hereafter for the believer; if there'd been no Christmas.

Christmas? Say, "Amen." Oh, my, my. This is a time of rejoicing, a time of when all of us can come together and worship Christ.

REPROACH.FOR.THE.CAUSE.OF.THE.WORD232 "Messiah is on the earth, when that group of

stars got together." And they knowed He was there, so they went to the headquarters of religion, begin going up-and-down the street: "Where is He that's born King of the Jews? We saw His Star in the East. He's here somewhere." What a reproach!

233 They went to the chief priest… What a reproach, upon their scientific achievement! By the power of God, they seen His Star. They were in the field of religious science. And they knowed, when them stars got there, Messiah was somewhere. And here, the place that should have knowed it, knowed nothing about It.

WHO.DO.YOU.SAY.THIS.IS 40 It couldn't have been Christ's birthday. It just

absolutely could not have been. He'd have had to been born in March or April, 'cause He was the Lamb. And He was a male sheep and borned in under the ram, Aries. And sheep are not born in December anyhow. Sheep are born in the Spring.

THE.CURTAIN.OF.TIME32 Just as the springtime, when the Easter

flowers are blooming, everything's so pretty, a very type of nature; resurrection has to come in the spring. That's the reason the resurrection is in springtime. Resurrection of everything, and surely the King of nature resurrected, the Creator of nature, resurrected with the rest of the resurrection of nature.

THE.WORLD.IS.AGAIN.FALLING.APART And Christmas is such a great commercial day,

until it's taken Thanksgiving pretty near out of the picture, because the commercial world is so much greater influenced by Christmas, because there is so many people shop. Thanksgiving is just a little passing-by.

WHO.DO.YOU.SAY.THIS.IS 41 So it really comes from Roman mythology,

which was the sun-god's birthday… between Dec. 20-25... Constantine… said, "We will change it" (not knowing what the day was) "and put it over on the sun-god's birthday, make it: Son of God's birthday.”

43 And the people has turned into buying whiskey, gambling, fashions. A merchant that can sell his goods through Christmas time can live the rest of the year, almost. It's such a great holiday, commercial… It ought to be a solemn day of worship to God, instead of a heartache and a headache and the things that's done.

THE.PHILADELPHIAN.CHURCH.AGEBrother went and got me a big, hot cherry pie. I

tell you; it pays to hint. Looks like cherry pie's kind of a favorite to me. It's really good. Just like I say about when I eat cherry pie, now, sometimes you run into a seed. Now, I don't throw the pie away; I just throw the seed away and keep on eating cherry pie.

WE.HAVE.SEEN.HIS.STAR4 What if there wasn't a real Christmas? If there

had not been a real Christmas, things wouldn't be the way they are tonight. If there wasn't a Christmas, there wouldn't have been no salvation. And now that we're facing Christmas, again, it's too bad that we have changed it, the real meaning of it, being the birth of Jesus, until it look like that Santa Claus has taken the place of Christ in Christmas, some fiction of a Kriss Kringle coming down a chimney, with a sack of toys on his back, that visits the whole world in one night.

And I don't know what you think about it, it's all right if you want to tell your children that; but I was taught, thought the Scripture said, "Thou shalt not lie…" That might not be your idea. I'm not telling you how to raise your children… So just tell them the truth, straight truth, then they'll know how to, what you mean. So, no matter how bad the outside looks, and what they're doing out there, that should not bother us from making Christmas what it should be.

WHY.LITTLE.BETHLEHEM 16 Remember, what ever what day it might be, still

doesn't take away the sacredness of what it’s supposed to be. Satan has robbed us of this, has made the great commercial, Santa Claus stole all of the worship. And it's become a day like Easter, bunny rabbits, pink ducks. And what's that got to do with Easter? [And] the resurrection of Christ…? But that doesn't take the real thing away from we Christians.

...We Christians ought to be testifying to the glory of God giving His Son to us. This Christmas ought to be an outstanding thing… The whole world's got tinsel. We've got Christ, that's what we ought to be letting shine in this dark hour that we're now living in. 63-1214

GREATEST.NEWS.FLASH.IN.HISTORY19 Now, the message is, He goes before us:

before us. He's not in a tomb behind us; He's before us, making a way. We are to follow, not to look back to the tomb, but to look forward to where's He's leading, for He is our Leader. We're to follow Him, not look back to the tombs.

WHY.LITTLE.BETHLEHEM 14 You know, at Christmas, too many of

us lose the real value of what Christmas is… even the palm trees are decorated; in the East it's always the fir tree, or the evergreen. And maybe a month or six weeks before Christmas ever begins... They made it a commercial in the stead of what it really means.

GENESIS 15:13And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

EXODUS 3:8And I am come down to deliver them out of the

hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

those Seals, for the whole Word of God is Christ, and Christ is the Seals that was opened. What is the opening of Seals then? Revealing Christ.

309 And the very seven Angels, which represented the Seven Churches all completed, and we couldn't even see It.

EXPECTATION37 So when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of

Judaea, three magis, stargazers, came from the East. They said, "We have seen His star in the West…“ And no observatory, no scientist, all the people standing up on the watches, looking at every star moving, to see what time it was, in the night, so forth... There wasn't anyone seen that Angel, or that star, but these Magis, for they was expecting to see it. They had read God's prophecy when He spoke through Balaam back there, and said, "There'd be a star out of Jacob rise," and they were looking for it.

So that's the reason tonight the American people are not expecting, they're not looking for a great Holy Ghost pouring out revival. And that's the reason they're not receiving It, while It's poured out; they're not expecting It. They're looking to see a reformation in the church, and the people come back and join church and live on out in the world. And that, it's not that age. It's the time where God is filling His people, and baptizing them into the Body of the Lord Jesus Christ. And that's the reason they're not expecting it; they're not seeing it is going on.

BEGINNING & ENDING.OF.THEGENTILE.DISPENSATION

20 Someone can stand right next to you and see things that you can't see to save your life. Someone said, "I don't believe that; I never seen nothing." Because it wasn't for you to see it… (Paul on the road to Damascus) none of them heard that voice or seen that vision. Paul saw it. None of them saw the star that crossed every observatory but the wise men.

Many things that way God has designated for certain peoples to see and others cannot see. I love that. When God in His infinite wisdom has predestinated or foreordained for certain things to happen, it could happen to the person setting right next to you and you'll know nothing about it. 55-010912/21/2014

MATTHEW 1:18Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When

as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

EXODUS 2:2And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and

when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months.

JOHN 1:6There was a man sent from God, whose name was

John.

I.HAVE.HEARD.BUT.NOW.I.SEE104 The Elected of God seen It in Noah's time,

Moses' time, Jesus' time, the apostles' time, Luther's time, Wesley's time, Pentecostal time, because that was the Seed that was on the earth when this inspiration was poured out. Now while the inspiration's poured out, to gather the Bride together, it's only those who are Elected will see It.
