Salvation Wed. Dec. 28, 2011

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, "Where is the one who has been born King of the Jews? We saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him."

Good afternoon, my dear brothers and sisters. I know I was going to take the week off, but this is just too good to take off. Wednesday is Salvation Wednesday on this line and the day we pray for those who are unsaved and try and seek them out for the healing of Salvation done only by Jesus. Prayers also for the "BORN AGAIN" believers as they try and bring in the lost. Again I point out, we who work for Jesus cannot save a soul, we can only lead them to Jesus, then it is between Jesus and each person. Please keep praying for or son Matthew, for Glenn who is receiving treatment at Health South. Also here is an update on my right hand, as I told you I had lost feeling in it. I was in for the nerve study and tests this morning, and was surprised when they gave me the results when finished. The tests showed that I have crushed the nerves in my right hand, not just your normal crushed cover but the nerves are more than likely broken off. I was given the example of a piece of wire that has a cover on it and many strands of wire inside it. The tech and the doctor said that it would be likened to the wire cover being crushed and some of the wire strands broken off. I see the surgeon in two weeks and in the meantime, I would love your prayers. If Jesus can heal the blind, drive out demons, raise up the dead, heal the cancer I had, I know that He can knit my nerves back together.

Matthew 2:1 - After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, "Where is the one who has been born King of the Jews? We saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him." (NIV)

Yesterday I closed out with this question. "Tomorrow we are going to look at those kings who brought the gifts. How many were there? Hint, I am working out of the Bible and not the song book." Ok, the "tomorrow" in the question is today. So how many kings brought the gifts to Jesus? The answer is NONE, kings did not bring the gifts, Magi or wise men brought them, and now I support that with scripture. That is not hard, just look up a few lines at

Matthew 2:1: Magi from the east came to Jerusalem. (NIV)

Matthew 2:1: Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem. (Gideons)

Matthew 2:1:  Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem. (King James)

Ok, yesterday we established that there was only one King at the manager and that Jesus, of course. Today we established that these so called kings referred to in the song, and remember I said we were working out of the Bible and not a song book, were not kings at all, but Magi or wise men. So now, how many magi or wise men brought the gifts and how many gifts were there and what were they? And how about this star we hear so much about, was there a star, is that in the Bible? Here is where to find those answers.

Matthew 2:1/12

Dear Father in Heaven, thanks for the message of today, and thanks for the safe trip to York and back today for the tests. Lord, today I pray for the unsaved and that You would help us to lead the lost to You. Dear Lord, please honor our health requests according to Your will and not ours. Thanks, Lord, for another nice day, and thanks for letting us be part of it. Lord, may we honor You for giving to us this day and may we live to please You each day... In the name of Jesus I pray.  Amen.

Now go forth and share your blessings. I really love you folks and should be early tomorrow... Love ya,  Pastor Dan.
