A New You In The New Year # 4
"... And ye shall be clean; from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh."
"And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgements, and do them." Ezekiel 36:25-27
As human beings we have a sinful nature and we tend to put things in our life before God. We are hard hearted and hard headed. Only God can change us but we must want to be changed.
If you are not happy with the way that your life is heading, then change it and try Jesus. He can make you into a 'new you' in the new year. All you have to do is ask Him to come into your life.
"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh."

A New You In The New Year # 3
"Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith The Lord God. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit ..." Ezekiel 18:30-31
When judgement day comes, each of us will have to give an account for all of our thoughts, words, and actions. All of us will be judged and the judgement will start with His people. He will want to know what we have done for Him. Those of you who have not accepted Jesus Christ as your personal saviour need to repent. Don't let you lack of belief and your sins lead you to ruin.
The key to eternal life involves repentance from sin, belief in Christ, and a new heart and new spirit which come from God. You need a new you now, in the new year, and in the years to come. You can change, but you have to ask God for help, for only God can change your heart and give you a new spirit.
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth The Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved ..." Romans 10:9
You need a new you in the new year. Not just a New Year's resolution, to be forgotten by the end of January, but a commitment to a new life for Jesus Christ.

A New You In The New Year # 2
"... And I will put a new spirit within you ..." Ezekiel 11:19
If you want things to be better for you in 2011 than they were in 2010, then you need to do different things in the new year than you did in this year. You cannot expect to get different results if you do the same things.
Just like the children of Israel, we have not walked in His statutes, neither executed His judgements, bur have done after the manners of the heathen that are around about you. Ezekiel 11:12
We are not supposed to act like the worldly people that are around us. We are in this world but not of it. We are different and we should act like it. When we accepted Christ as our personal saviour, we became a new creature. 2 Corinthians 5:17 We need to ask for forgiveness and renew our commitment and our minds. Romans 12:1-2
We need to ask God to put a new spirit in us, or renew His Spirit within us, so that we may be more Christ-like in the new year.

A New You In The New Year
As we move closer to the new year and change from 2010 to 2011, why not make a significant change in yourself and move from darkness into the marvelous light. Begin the new year as a new you.
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Corinthians 5:17
All of us have some bad habits and sinful ways that we need to let go of and leave behind. All of us also have room for improvement with respect to behaving, speaking, and thinking in a Christ-like manner.
Let's not just make a 'New Year's resolution', let's make a life-changing commitment to be more Christ-like.
May The Good Lord grant you a blessed, healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year.

Miracles By Jesus Prophesied
Not only die the prophet Isaiah predict the conception and birth of Christ more than 400 years beforehand, he also prophesied that Jesus would perform miracles.
"... He will come and save you. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame man shall leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing ..." Isaiah 35:4-6
The gospels of Matthew, Luke and John record that Jesus did perform miracles. He gave sight to the blind (Matthew 9:27-30 & Luke 9:1-7), gave hearing to the deaf (Luke 7:21-22), gave speech to the dumb ( Matthew 9:32-33), and made the lame to walk (Matthew 9:1-7, Luke 5:24-25, & John 5:8).
Jesus performed many other miracles, some of which were recorded within the gospels, and many of which were not (John 21:25). The miracles were performed so that the people would know that He was God (Matthew 9:6)
Jesus, The Christ, was, is, and always will be special. His conception and birth were special and so was His life, His teachings, His death, His resurrection, and His ascension.
He is worthy of all glory, honor, and praise everyday, and not just on Christmas, Easter, and on Sundays.
Have a Merry Day-After-Christmas and be blessed.

The Birth of Christ Predicted # 6
"... And His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6
One of the reasons that He came to earth was to procure for His people a perfect peace. Jesus, The Christ, is the benevolent ruler of His people and His kingdom. Without Him we cannot have peace in our lives or in this world. And without Him we would not have access to the perpetual perfect peace throughout eternity.
Only through Christ are we able to wish for peace on earth and goodwill towards all men. Jesus is God incarnate. He was born to die for His people. His conception, birth, life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension were all unique and very special.
Without Christ in Christmas, it is not special.
Let us keep Christ in our celebration of His birth this Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a blessed day!!!
