Episode 37. Third Sunday of Advent. Focus: JOY TO THE WORLD!

"Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice." Philippians 4:4

Joy is one of the most prominent themes of the Bible. From the very beginning, God’s plan for mankind has been to bring us joy and peace. Throughout the Bible, we see stories of joy in response to God’s blessings and celebration of His promises.

In the Old Testament, the Israelites rejoiced and sang songs of joy when they escaped from the Egyptians and made their way to the Promised Land. In the New Testament, Jesus brings joy to those who follow Him, and encourages others to do the same. The Apostle Paul also speaks of joy in his letters, urging believers to be joyful even in difficult circumstances. The Bible teaches us that joy is a gift from God, and that it is something to be celebrated and shared with others.

Bible verses about joy can help Christians who may be going through a difficult season as a reminder of calm happiness through faith in God. Joy is rooted in who God is. It is not fleeting or based on circumstances.

Worldly possessions, accomplishments, even the people in our lives, are blessings that make us happy and fuel joyfulness. However, the Bible teaches that the source of all joy is Jesus. God’s plan from the beginning, the Word made flesh to dwell among us, is rock solid, allowing us to navigate difficult situations without happiness while sustaining our joy.

Romans 15:13 ~ May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

Romans 12:12 ~ Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

Philippians 4:4 ~ Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.

James 1:2 ~ Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,

Galatians 5:22 ~ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

John 16:24 ~ Until now you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

Proverbs 17:22 ~ A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

The PEACE OF CHRIST does not mean to be in a place where there is no suffering, tribulation or conflict even war; it means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.

Today we will explore how the Peace of Christ offers solace and hope to those in despair, transforming lives through faith and understanding.

In times of turmoil and uncertainty, the Peace of Christ can serve as a guiding light, offering solace and renewed hope to those who feel lost. This divine peace, often described as transcendent and beyond human understanding, has the power to change lives. But what exactly does the Peace of Christ bring, and how can it help uplift those in despair and restore lost hope? Let's explore the profound impact of this spiritual peace and how it can transform our lives.

The Peace of Christ is more than just a comforting thought; it is a transformative force that touches every aspect of our lives. Here are some key elements that the Peace of Christ provides:

1. Inner Calm in the Midst of Chaos

The Peace of Christ offers a profound sense of inner calm, even when the world around you is tumultuous. This peace is not dependent on external circumstances but comes from a deep connection with Christ. It allows individuals to find tranquility amidst chaos, grounding their emotions and thoughts.

2. Resilience and Strength

Life is full of challenges, and it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. The Peace of Christ instills strength and resilience, empowering individuals to face adversity with courage and optimism. By trusting in Christ, you gain the strength to endure difficulties with unwavering faith.

3. Forgiveness and Reconciliation

Holding onto grudges and unresolved conflicts can weigh heavily on the heart. The Peace of Christ encourages forgiveness and reconciliation, leading to relationships that are healed and strengthened. This peace promotes understanding and compassion, paving the way for constructive and loving connections with others.

4. Hope for the Future

In moments of despair, the future can seem daunting and bleak. The Peace of Christ brings hope, promising better days ahead. It reminds us that we are not alone and that our struggles are not in vain. With Christ’s peace in our hearts, we can look forward with optimism and confidence.

Here are some steps to integrate this peace into your life:

Prayer is a powerful tool for connecting with Christ and inviting peace into your life. Set aside time each day to pray and reflect on Christ’s presence. Meditation can also help calm the mind, allowing peace to settle within you.

The Holy Bible contains profound truths and promises of peace. Study passages that speak about Christ’s peace and how it impacts believers. Reflect on these teachings and allow them to reinforce your faith and understanding. God’s Truth says in:

John 16:33 ~ I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”

John 14:27 ~ Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Colossians 3:15 ~ And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

God wants you to have a life lived to the fullest and that includes being at peace. You experience the peace of God when you come to Him in humility and

The Real Meaning of Christmas

Meta Description: Discover the true essence of Christmas through faith, love, and giving, and learn to embrace its spiritual significance.

Embracing the True Spirit of Christmas

Christmas is a time filled with joy, family gatherings, and festive celebrations. However, amidst the hustle and bustle, it's easy to lose sight of its true meaning. For Christians, Christmas is not just about exchanging gifts or decorating homes. It's about celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ and understanding the profound significance of His arrival on Earth.

Understanding the Nativity Story

The nativity story is central to understanding Christmas. Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus was born in a humble stable in Bethlehem. His birth fulfilled ancient prophecies, heralding hope and salvation for humankind. According to the Gospel of Luke, angels announced His birth to shepherds, who then spread the joyful news. This event is more than a historical account; it signifies the beginning of a new era of grace and redemption.

The Message of Love and Hope

At its core, Christmas is a celebration of love. Jesus' birth embodies God's love for the world. In John 3:16, it is written, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son." This act of divine love encourages Christians to spread compassion and kindness. During the Christmas season, sharing this message through acts of love and charity helps to keep Christ’s teachings alive.

The Act of Giving

Gift-giving during Christmas is often seen as a way to express love and appreciation. However, it's essential to remember that the greatest gift of all is Jesus Himself. This understanding transforms the way Christians think about giving. Beyond physical gifts, giving can take the form of time, support, and a listening ear for those in need. It's about selflessness and generosity, reflecting the self-giving nature of Christ.

Celebrating with Faith and Tradition

For many Christians, attending church services and partaking in religious traditions are vital aspects of Christmas. These practices serve as reminders of Jesus' teachings and provide an opportunity for communal worship. Caroling, nativity plays, and midnight masses are not just customs; they are expressions of faith, bringing communities together in celebration of the Savior's birth.

Staying Grounded in Spirituality

While festive activities are enjoyable, it's crucial to remain grounded in spirituality. Christmas invites reflection on one's faith journey and encourages spiritual growth. Christians are called to meditate on scriptures, pray with intention, and seek a deeper connection with God. Such practices ensure that the essence of Christmas transcends beyond a single day.

Conclusion: Rediscover the Joy of Christmas

Rediscovering the joy of Christmas lies in focusing on its spiritual significance. By celebrating Jesus' birth with love, generosity, and faith, Christians can experience the true essence of this sacred holiday. Let the message of hope and redemption inspire you to spread kindness and joy, not only during the festive season but every day.

Call-to-Action

This Christmas, take a moment to reflect on its true meaning. Engage with your community through acts of service and embrace the spirit of giving. Share the story of Jesus' birth with family and friends to keep the message of love alive. Let’s make this season a reflection of Christ’s unconditional love and grace.

Sunday November 24th, Episode 34. Why Celebrate Thanksgiving? I’m your host Zane Lawhorn.

As the season of Advent approaches, we stop for a day to return thanks.

Thanksgiving is a time to remember what God has done for us.

We want to discover the significance of Thanksgiving, a cherished tradition for patriotic Christians, celebrating gratitude, faith, and family.

Thanksgiving is a beloved occasion that holds a special place in the hearts of patriotic Christians. This cherished holiday is more than just a day for feasting; it’s a time for expressing gratitude, reflecting on faith, and strengthening family bonds. But why exactly do we celebrate Thanksgiving? Let’s delve into the rich history, spiritual significance, and the traditions that make this holiday so meaningful.

Thanksgiving traces its origins back to 1621 when the Pilgrims celebrated a successful harvest with the Wampanoag tribe. This event laid the foundation for the Thanksgiving we know today, symbolizing cooperation and gratitude. The holiday became officially recognized when President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed it a national holiday in 1863, amid the Civil War, as a way to foster unity and thankfulness.

The Pilgrims, who were devout Christians, left England seeking religious freedom. Their journey to the New World was fraught with challenges, yet their faith remained strong. The first Thanksgiving was not just a celebration of the harvest but also a testament to their resilience and divine providence. For patriotic Christians, Thanksgiving is a powerful reminder of their ancestors' faith and determination.

It is a reminder that God Almighty was present as our country was born.

For Christians, Thanksgiving is a time to appreciate the many blessings bestowed upon them by God. This includes not only material wealth but also spiritual growth and familial love. The holiday encourages believers to reflect on their faith journey and express gratitude for the guidance and support they’ve received.

Many families incorporate prayers and scripture readings into their Thanksgiving traditions. This practice underscores the day’s religious significance and emphasizes the importance of giving thanks in all circumstances, as urged in

1 Thessalonians 5:18: “Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.”

If you are not including prayer and praise in your Thanksgiving celebration then make it part of your day’s activities.

Thanksgiving offers a unique opportunity for families to come together, share stories, and create lasting memories. In our fast-paced lives, it's a chance to pause, reconnect with loved ones, and foster a spirit of gratitude. It’s really hard in my opinion to celebrate Thanksgiving without family being together.

Each family has its unique traditions, from classic turkey feasts to volunteering in local communities. New traditions can help reinforce family bonds and ensure Thanksgiving remains a meaningful, cherished holiday for future generations.

Thanksgiving is also a day to appreciate the freedoms and opportunities available in our country. It encourages us to reflect on the nation's history, values, and the sacrifices made by those who have protected our liberties. For patriotic Christians, this holiday is a reminder of the blessings of living in a land where they can freely practice their faith.

The most important SUPER-SIGN that must take place first has already happened. Over 75 years ago, a generation ago the nation of Israel was reborn after 2500 years of silence. Israel must exist for the rest of the events to take place. No one living before 1948 could expect the Messiah's return. It wasn't until that rebirth that we entered the final last days the very last hours leading up to the REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST AS KING OF KINGS.

I wrote about this in my book, "Final Countdown to the Kingdom".

In the book I list a dozen super-signs that must take place leading up to the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Five of those have already occurred and a few more are in the works.

Here is the take-home message for this part of the podcast: This world we live in looks exactly like the world as described in the Bible as the time, the season of His return.

If you are not familiar with these passages in the Bible, I suggest you start with the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24 and read the whole chapter. It is pretty straight forward as Jesus is asked by His disciples what signs to look for. He answered them, let's start with that.

Instead of saying something like, 'you ain't supposed to know', Jesus went into great detail about the season of His return. The Last Days are not a complete secret and taboo. We are to know. Jesus said say Himself here in Mark 13:37

"What I say to you, I say to everyone; WATCH! “ --Mark 13:37.

So let's explore God's Truth with a brief summary of what our world looks like and how it relates to the Bible. This is not an extensive study, you are encouraged to read God's Word yourself to find all the references to our time. Know this, you are here right now for a purpose. God has SENT YOU HERE TO THIS LITTLE PODCAST FOR A REASON. He has 'called' you to know this much and to ignite the flickering flame of Revival in your heart into a raging fire.

To begin, I will repeat, the nation of Israel exists again. No other nation has died and then been reborn after 2500 years. Think about it, we basically killed off the Cherokee Nation with the Trail of Tears in 1838. So what do you think the chances are of them being reborn as a nation in the year 4,338?

In 70 A.D., Roman soldiers destroyed the Temple and Jerusalem when they put down a Jewish rebellion. The Jewish people were disbursed to various nations ending any legal tie to the Promised Land.

To make matters even worse, they renamed Israel after their mortal enemies the Philistines, calling it Palestine. Not that 'Palestine' came AFTER the nation of Israel owned the Land. Land given to them by God Almighty Himself.

So Israel was FIRST.

The Palestinians are the squatters on the land and don't deserve one inch of the land. They are occupying the Promised Land of Israel and don't have any real legitimate claim to the land from 'Sea to Sea'.

The Roman Empire tried but failed to erase every trace of Israel and it's people. Only God's chosen people could have been reborn 2500 years later as a nation.

God's Truth knew better, for thousands of years ago, God foretold of the impending exile of His Chosen People. In one passage He promises to call them back from "among the nations" (Ezekiel 39:28). In the Prophet Isaiah's book, God clearly indicates they will return, from "the farthest corners of the earth" (Isaiah 11:12). All directions are included in Psalm 107 verse 3, from "north, south, east and west". God covered every aspect of the planet where a Jewish person might live.

November 5th, 2024 will be remembered as the Day the Gates of Hell did NOT prevail against America.

November 5th will be known as the turning point of Revival, Return and Restoration of the united States of America.

No it won’t happen overnight, there are still a lot and I mean a LOT of issues, sins and abominations that have to be removed from our land. But God will be merciful and patient with us as we remove the idolatry and perversion from our land.

The Presidential Election is over. Praise the Lord.

President Donald Trump will now be our Commander in Chief and Executive Officer for the future of America.

Christians need to pray for our president. These are dark days as predicted, for the Last Days of this wicked world. The Bible is clear that as the end approaches tribulations would increase. That while the Gospel would be preached to the ends of the earth, those with faith will fall away.

A Great Falling Away with people turning to those who tell them what they want to hear. Others, just ignore the Gospel turning instead to the world for hope and answers. Yet, they live in despair with depression, anxiety and no real hope.

The truth is; that no president, no member of Congress is the answer to our problems. Some are obviously better for us than others. And I hope you prayed about your votes before they were cast. We the People have to do a better job of selecting God-Fearing candidates.

For when the righteous rule the people rejoice (Proverbs 29:2), but when the wicked are in power we will all mourn.

Seems like we have been in mourning for quite some time doesn’t it…..?

The new president will have to deal with a massive spending problem at the same time we have a massive military need, social services need and are being flooded by illegal immigrants. I don’t envy their task ahead, we must pray for these problems to be addressed quickly and decisively.

But America will never prosper or realize true greatness again, until we put Jesus Christ FIRST in America through a Revival and return to Jesus Christ as Lord.

The good news is that Revival is spreading across America like a wildfire!

A recent CBN article on October 30th reads;

“Signs of Revival: Nearly 400 People Choose Christ at Mississippi State Fair.”

Nearly 400 people gave their life to Christ at the State Fair after hearing the Gospel preached….

Evangelism at the State Fair, that’s a great concept. Hopefully that will happen at the West Virginia State Fair next August too.

And as I have shared with listeners, Revival is happening in other places as well.

Another CBN article published on Halloween reports on another Revival event held on the National Mall in Washington, DC.

Thousands of Christians gathered on the National Mall to take part in what was called “One Nation Under God Revival” event.

And while thousands were marching towards our nation’s capitol. 10,000 students were packing a college arena.

According to the article, get this, it reads “We’ve seen over 70,000 students gather on 11 campuses representing 400 universities. We’ve seen around 5,000 saved and close to 2,000 baptized.”

Revival is happening in big numbers but the individual ones are just as important. God works through various ways to reach the lost, and each one is important, just as important. Revival is the spark in one’s heart that when fanned into a flame, ignites the spirit of that person to become bold and leave their sinful life behind.

Revival is our only hope and it is being flamed into a raging fire right now all across America.

Praise the Lord!

Revival is happening all across America!

Will you be a part of it? Or will you keep hiding under your pew?

This election is so important. For people can not know what is right if they don't know what is wrong. When morality wanes, the difference becomes blurred and sin abounds. Americans need to be told what is right and what is wrong.

The pro-choice argument is a lie. It ignores anatomical and physiological truths. It ignores Biblical truths as well. It is based solely on emotions and selfish desires.

The first person to acknowledge Jesus as the Christ was a preborn baby!

John the Baptist while still in his mother's womb leaped for joy at the sound of the voice of Mary, mother of Jesus. God knows every preborn person. He knows His plans for them. And He loves them. To vote for a pro-choice candidate is a sin.

Christians should NEVER vote for baby killers.

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

God spoke these words to Jeremiah but He could just as easily said them to every preborn child. For He knows us before we are conceived. He knows what our potential is. To take that away by murdering the baby in the womb is a great sin. Violating one of the Ten Commandments, "Thou shalt not kill".

No moral person should vote for baby killers. They should be scorned and shamed into doing what is right. The future of innocent children along with the future of our country in the hands of God's People.

Christians need to be praying and fasting for a Revival to spread across America.

For a Revival is already happening in America and the only way for America to prosper again is to return to the only one who can truly make America Great Again. Jesus Christ.

Sure having a strong leader like Donald Trump as president will benefit us at the gas pumps and grocery store. But he can only do so much.

".....remember the Lord your God, for it is HE who gives you power to get wealth."

America needs a Revival of Jesus Christ.

Devil's PACT for the FUTURE.

Also will be known as the One World Government.

In the article entitled "UN Pact for the Future Could Set the Stage for Global Government."

So while most of us were not paying attention the UN PASSED the PACT for the FUTURE. One focus is to indoctrinate children all around the world. Starting, are you ready for this, a long time ago.

Yes, that's right, they are already in our public schools indoctrinating our children. And that is just the beginning. One thing they want to eliminate is alternate education; like homeschooling and of course Christian schools. Other religious schools might be targeted but Christian education will definitely be top priority.

Their goal is for children everywhere to learn what the United Nations wants them to learn.

Agenda 21 in the past began this indoctrination by explicitly calling for the infusing of spirituality into education. Not Christian values mind you, but their version of spiritual ie worldly viewpoints. Perhaps this helps explain why on 6 % of Americans have a Biblical view of the world.

The UN has created a "World Core Curriculum' based on the teachings of New Age occultist Alice Bailey, founder of the Lucifer Publishing Company." You can't make this stuff up!

Lucifer is another name for Satan and here they are openly showing their support for the occult.

To start they want to indoctrinate the young people so they will fall into step with the global agendas and become zombie-slaves. Using code words like sustainable development, gender equality, human rights (not that you will have any left), global citizenship and cultural diversity. Being a Christian will make you an enemy to this worldly viewpoint, so you might as well burn your Bible and stop going to church because they will persecute you if you do.

Everything will be defined and decided by the global elites who answer to NO ONE.

So as of today the plan is being implemented. Children in schools are already being indoctrination and that process will be expanded. If you don't think young people are patriotic now, just give the Agenda a few more years and there won't be any patriotism left in America. They will all be considering themselves, 'global citizens'.

And the America we know will be gone, destroyed from within, while Christians hid under their pews, politicians looked the other way and voters kept voting for entitlements.

Parental rights will be completely gone, the state, aka the One World Government will have control over your children, their bodies and their minds. You will have no rights and you will comply or die.

The One World Government that the Bible warns us about is being implemented right now. You had better wake up, get involved, start voting for godly candidates and removing the wicked from office.

The most radical international agreement in decades was just passed and it did not make headline news. Does THAT NOT TELL YOU SOMETHING!

While everyone was distracted and the Main Stream Media was silent, the global elites got exactly what they have been wanting. The Pact for the Future has passed and is being implemented. It has almost been a month since it passed and I bet you have not heard a single word about it have you? September 22, 2024 is the date the One World Government was established. Now it is up to us to pray, fast and repent to save America before it is too late. Become a REVIVAL WARRIOR for America today.

America needs a Revival of Jesus Christ, for He comes and He will hold us all accountable.
