Merry Christmas From The Ignorant Fishermen!

.

 













Beloved, at Christmas we are reminded of the ETERNAL message of; “That God so love the world - John 3:16-17” and all that we ever would and could  need - as fallen humanity - is found IN the lovely Person of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world (Rom. 5:12-19, 10:4, 1 Cor. 1:30).

But what a great many miss at Christmas is the precious promises of the Lord Jesus Christ that are yet to be fulfilled!

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this (Isaiah 9:6-7)”

Our future is found in the uncompromising promises of Almighty God and in His Son the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Cor.1:30).

As children of Almighty God (John 1:12, Rom. 8:14,16, Gal. 3:26, 1 John 3:1,2), we can REJOICE not only that our transgressions against Almighty God's  ETERNAL absolutes of RIGHTEOUSNESS have been pardoned and removed (1 John 2:2), but also in the future blessings and promises that are yet to come! The of redemption of our vile bodies (1 Cor. 1:30, 15:42-58), the coming Kingdom of Heaven (Zech. 14:9-21, Matt. 25:34) and ETERNITY future (Rev. 21-22).
.
My dearly beloved of the Lord, this Christmas as we reflect on the absolute wonderment of the incarnation of God the Son (John 1:14, 1 Tim. 3:16, Heb. 10:1-14), may we also greatly REJOICE knowing that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! My beloved our future has only just begun!!

We here at the Ignorant Fishermen Blog wish each one of you ALL of Almighty God's HIGHEST and BEST (God's perfect will) and a blessed biblical Christmas!

The Kingdom of Heaven truly is at hand!

Have You Been to the Manger?

My dear friend, may I ask you this very personal question since we are in the “Christmas” season? Do you truly comprehend and believe the biblical message of ETERNAL salvation put forth by Almighty God in His infallible Word? Do you fully comprehend without a shadow of a doubt that your ABSOLUTE GREATEST NEED is to be delivered from your fallen humanity and the wrath of your Creator (John 3:36, 1 John 5:12)? My friend, are you fully prepared for your ETERNAL abode? Do you have the ABSOLUTE PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS required by Almighty God (Rom. 3:23, 6:23, 10:2-4)? My friend, no one does and that is why we need Almighty God's Savior so desperately!

This child would - by the shedding of His RIGHTEOUS BLOOD one day - make FULL ATONEMENT for all who would place their absolute trust in Him and that He would be satisfying propitiation that would make peace on earth.

No wonder the angelic multitude on that night 2000 years ago rejoiced with EXCEEDINGLY GREAT JOY, for they FULLY understood what this lost world did not. For what sin had destroyed, Almighty God was seeking to redeem. This child would - by the shedding of His RIGHTEOUS BLOOD one day - make FULL ATONEMENT for all who would place their absolute trust in Him and that He would be the satisfying propitiation that would bring TRUE peace to the earth (1 John 2:2). Indeed Almighty God’s RIGHTEOUS intentions and goodwill towards mankind were expressed in the sending of His precious Son (John 3:16-17). Oh beloved, that is what Christmas is about!!

Have you given heed to the glorious angelic message of old as the shepherds that night did 2000 years ago?

/

A Savior was born! Do you personally know Him? That is your own personal choice to make. Have you given heed to the glorious angelic message of old as the shepherds that night did 2000 years ago (Luke 2:9-12)? All who hear God's proclamation and obey it will find Him will (Luke 2:15-18). May it be so that you choose to receive the LOVE of Almighty God which is His dear Son who is the greatest gift this Christmas season and every season! Place your trust in Him today, you will NEVER EVER be the same!

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Anna's Hope - A Song of Testimony of Biblical Anna, Who was Waiting to See Her Salvation!

This song is the personal testimony of Anna the prophetess, the daughter of Penhanuel, of the tribe of Aser, of the people of Israel (Luke 2:36-38)! It is in the time of great Roman oppression and Anna has experienced and observed the despair of her people and the mighty oppressive power of Rome and her armies for many years. Notice in the lyrics of this song that Almighty God; her Lord and Savior; is ALWAYS observing her and taking care of her! She is ALWAYS in His ETERNAL presence and watchful eye. He always is hearing her prayers and sees her sincere fasting for her people Israel, as she awaits Messiah her Salvation to come! Almighty God loves her with an ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS LOVE and after many years of waiting for her Propitiation and Lamb (Isa. 53); her joy is finally fulfilled when she sees her Savior and Redemption! She then makes haste to let all know that Almighty God's day of redemption has now come just as Almighty God had promised and spoke about for many years (Gen. 3:15; 12:3; 18:18; 22:18-19; Num. 24:17, Isa. 7:14; 9:6; 11:1, Jer. 23:5; Micah 5:2)!  Almighty God always fulfills His Word and promises and they ALWAYS are trustworthy and sound for the child of God to find great hope and consolation in this fallen world (Mal. 3:6, John 14:1-2, 2 Cor. 1:20, Heb. 6:10; 13:8, Rev. 4-5).

"And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem". Luke 2:36-38

Lyrics to, "Anna's Hope" 

The Lord observing, in His PERFECT love, His beloved child Anna
Anna waits for the sun to arise, as she reflects over her aged life
Anna's joy and great hope in such days, is in the promises that the Lord made

Anna fasts and prays to the Lord to personally see her Salvation and for her people Israel
My soul groans within my heart, to see your Salvation my God
With delight do I fast and I pray, that thy people would walk in thy ways
In all of my years, when my meat has been my tears, You have always been my Hope

The Lord sees, hears and answers Anna
I Am with thee my dear child, I Am with thee My dear child (repeats)
Anna fasts and prays
My dear Lord hear Ye my prayers, as I await Thy RIGHTEOUS One

The Lord and Anna have the same mind, heart, and desire in prayer and fellowship
After many long years, I have waited Lord, to behold Thy Promise One
O blind fools and perishing, behold your Lamb and King, God's Day of Salvation has come!

Anna's Joy is fulfilled in seeing Her Salvation the baby Jesus!
Now my joy is complete my God, for I've seen my Lamb and my God

Almighty God's Agape Love Biblical Christmas Story!

Beloved, before we look at the biblical Christmas account, let us first see what biblical agape love truly is. This is the only way to read the Holy Scriptures when this word appears, and by doing so, you will never read the Word of God the same again, and you most certainly will personally never be the same again!

Merry Agape Christmas!

David

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Biblical Greek Definition

Agape love is Almighty God’s self-giving, sacrifical and unconditional love which ONLY ever seeks His RIGHTEOUSNESS for all in Divine TRUTH (John 3:16, Romans 5:8; 1 John 4:7-10/ Isaiah 9:6-7; Luke 2:10-11; John 14:3; Gal. 4:4-5; 2 Cor. 9:15; Titus 4:11; Rev. 1:7).

Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift! 2 Cor. 9:15

It is agape love that seeks Almighty God's PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS in ALL things. Agape love only seeks the highest good in RIGHTEOUSNESS for another without demanding anything in return. Agape love is not based on feeling, emotion, worthiness, or circumstance; it is a personal choice to give, to sacrifice, and to remain faithful. This is the love that ONLY comes from Almighty God the Father and is revealed perfectly and most clearly in and through Jesus Christ, the ETERNAL Son of God, the Word made flesh. (Gen. 1:1-3, Psalm 2; Psalm 110:1; Isaiah 53; John 1:1-14; Phil. 2:5-11, Tim. 3:16, Heb. 1:2-3, Rev. 1:17-18, Rev. 22:12-13)!

Beloved, as you read below the Agape Christmas Story, every time you see the word agape love used, enter in its biblical definition, and then you will see how ETERNALLY wondrous the Agape Love of Almighty God is for you and for this lost world!

The Biblical Agape Love Christmas Story

On a quiet night beneath a sky filled with stars, Almighty God's promised agape love came down. Almighty God, the Son clothed Himself in humility, lay in a manger, wrapped in flesh so that humanity could be wrapped in Almighty God's wondrous grace and agape love for all of Adam's fallen race. Christmas declared that agape love does not wait to be deserved; it is, and it has come for all! Jesus is Almighty God, the Father's agape love for all!

Jesus is Almighty God, the Father's agape love for all!

This agape love walked among us. This agape love healed the broken, touched the unclean, forgave the guilty, and welcomed the forgotten. This agape love spoke TRUTH and RIGHTEOUSNESS with compassion and mercy, with tenderness and authority. This agape love carried a cross, bore our sin, and conquered death itself and rose on the third day FOREVERMORE to reign in ETERNAL LIFE! This agape love will seek, save, and deliver all to the utmost who call upon Him and receive Him!

But beloved, this glorious story does not end at the manger, or even at the cross. Agape love is triumphantly coming again!

But beloved, this glorious story does not end at the manger, or even at the cross. Agape love is triumphantly coming again!

This same Jesus who came quietly will return gloriously!
This same baby who once lay in a manger will come and reign as a King FOREVERMORE!
This RIGHTEOUS Lamb who was slain will return as the GLORIOUS RIGHTEOUS Judge!
His crown of thorns will be replaced with many ETERNAL crowns of glory!

At His first coming, agape love was wrapped in swaddling cloths.
At His second coming, agape love will be clothed in RIGHTOUS GLORIOUS majesty.
The first time, heaven's ETERNAL agape love touched earth in humility.
The next time, heaven's ETERNAL agape love will reign in RIGHTEOUSNESS upon the earth in ALL glory!

Beloved, this is the hope of Christmas, not only that agape love came, but that agape love will come again! Agape love will restore what was broken, gather His people, and make all things ETERNALLY new, where justice, mercy, and agape love will meet, and peace and joy will reign FOREVERMORE in RIGHTEOUSNESS without end! Oh beloved, no wonder the Scripture states that,

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love (agape) Him. 1 Cor. 2:9!

So dear friends, as we celebrate this Christmas, looking forward as well as to the past, let us meditate, in the quietness and stillness of our hearts, and consider such wondrous glories!

Agape love came! Agape love gave! Agape love is coming again! And above all, my beloved (object of agape love), the most wondrous and glorious truth of all: Agape Love is a PERSON, and that PERSON is Yeshua/Jesus, God the Father's ETERNAL Son! Truly, this Christmas, I do not know how to say anything more wonderful than that!

 Christmas is the glorious and wondrous promise fulfilled and Jesus' return is the wondrous and glorious fulfillment of ALL things! 

Dearly beloved, may this Christmas be wondrously saturated with the fullness of the agape love of Jesus! May His agape love fill your heart, soul, and mind with all knowledge in TRUTH, RIGHTEOUSNESS, and the JOY which only comes with an abiding relationship to the Savior!

Dear friend, on a postscript, maybe this Christmas, you do not personally know the biblical Jesus, the agape love of Almighty God the Father? Dear friend, I just want to encourage you in every way possible to consider such things and enter into a saving relationship with the One who agape loved you so much that He laid down His RIGHTEOUS life for your ETERNAL redemption, to bring you to Almighty God the Father in RIGHTEOUSNESS, and that you might live in His agape love FOREVER. Dear friend, may it be so!

Merry Christmas and Merry Maranatha!

The Agape Love of Almighty God and His Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
