Press In This Christmas!
Dear Partners and Friends,
Christmas is a time we celebrate God’s most excellent gift to us: His Son, Jesus. He loves us so much that He held nothing back and gave us His absolute best.
As 2024 comes to an end, there’s no better time to press into all God has for us in His gift of Christ—the Anointed One and His Anointing. We want to be able to say, as the Apostle Paul said:
Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.… I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:8, 12-14, New King James Version).
Hallelujah! This Christmas season, let’s not sit around, waiting for our spiritual inheritance to appear. When the pressure is on, let’s PRESS BACK on the devil and PRESS FORWARD in Christ to apprehend all He has for us!
What does He have for us?
» FULLNESS of JOY (John 15:11)
» FULLNESS of PEACE (Philippians 4:7)
» ABOUNDING HOPE (Romans 15:13)
» BOUNDLESS LOVE (Romans 8:38-39).
These are God’s excellent gifts to us in Christ, gifts for us to receive IN FULL if we have the courage to press in.
Be assured that, as we celebrate Jesus with family this Christmas, we’ll also be thinking of YOU. And just as we do every day, at every meal, we’ll pray for you. We’ll pray you receive all The LORD has for you this season, and all next year. Because God loves you, we love you, and JESUS IS LORD!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Kenneth & Gloria
PS. The LORD has showed us that, “2025 Will Come Alive.” Let’s press in and receive that now! Hallelujah!
