A Mary Christmas - Bro Nathanael Howell 12-14-2025

For everything the Lord's done this morning. Amen. We miss

our pastor terribly. Amen.

I wonder if I could get Brother Jesse and brother

Philip to read a cotext this morning in honor of

our pastor. Amen, learn amen his ways.

Amen. I believe it'll be a benefit. Amen.

I'm so thankful for all God's done this morning. He

meant how he's been moving and working. Amen, He's been

most mindful of his children. And I was over there,

a man enjoying the service. Praise God with you all,

and Amen. Along with what brother Jesse said, Amen, I

was remembering those words that the Lord had given us Wednesday.

Amen.

It was realizing, Amen, we wasn't enjoying the spirit of

the Lord because I was playing the guitar. Her brother

Jesse was on the piano. Amen, Her brother Samuel and

brother Caleb were singing. Her brother Tyler was singing.

Amen. In reality, I could, if I can.

Be completely transparent with you, what we were enjoying the

presence of the Lord, because Amen, was God's approval for

Wednesday service.

Amen. For God Amen cleans up, Amen, and then pours in.

That is his way. Amen.

He cleans us up, and then he pours in Amen

that void.

Amen. He clean, he makes the room. Amen, it just

fills us up. Amen.

The Bible said he wouldn't put amen anything in an

unclean vessel.

Amen. We're gonna look this morning.

Amen, we can start our Our golden text is gonna

be John chapter number fourteen, verses eighteen through twenty. Brother Jesse,

if you'd find Luke chapter number one, Luke chapter number

one and read verses twenty eight through thirty one, and

Brother Philip Galatians chapter number four and verse number nineteen.

I mean the Lord laid this on my heart.

And amen.

As maybe the direction in which I would a man

share it changed a little bit, but I have not

been able to get away from it. He man, I

still feel a heavy bird, and Amen, to talk to someone.

I believe the Lord knew, Amen, and gave me this

for this very moment. Amen, Brother Jesse, would you read

Luke chapter number one, verses twenty eight through thirty one.

And the Angel came in unto her and said, hell,

thou art highly favored. The Lord is with thee blessed

art thou among women. And when she saw him, she

was troubled at his saying and casting her mind what

manner of salutation this should be? And the angel'll sait

unto her. Fear not Mary, for thou hast found favor

with God. And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb

and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus, Jesus.

Amen.

Mary was given a promise, And man, You're gonna have

the Son of God God living inside of you.

Amen.

Brother Philip, Galatians chapter number four, verse number nineteen, My

little children of whom I travail in birth again, until

Christ be formed in you.

Amen, Until Christ be formed in you.

Amen.

Beloved staying with us this morning, John chapter number fourteen,

will read Amen, Verses number eighteen through twenty one. The

Bible said, I will not leave you comfortless. I will

come to you yet a little while in the world

seeth me no more, But ye see me. Because I live,

Ye shall live. Also at that day ye shall know

that I am in my Father, and ye in me,

and I in you. He that hath my commandments and

keep with them, He it is that loveth me, and

he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father.

And I will love him, and I love this part

here and will manifest myself. Tell him, Amen, stretch her

hand Heaven. Ask God to help us this morning. Lord.

We thank you for your many blessings God, the way

you've worked this morning.

God, we beseech you. Lord.

We need your presence, We need your word, We need

the anointing that destroys to you.

God.

Let your word go forth, stir our hearts, change our lives. God,

Let your word go forth and heal. Let it go

forth and stir. Let it go forth, God and convict.

Oh God, reach us Lord where we need a Lord,

said a guard about my mouth. Let me say nothing

more and nothing less than that would have me God,

and I'll return thanks under you and give you the glory,

the honor and the praise. And Jesus, Holy, Holy, Holy Name.

In the church said Amen, I want to say I'm

thankful for this opportunity.

Amen.

I'm thankful, Amen, so much for our pastor's trust. I mean,

I love my pastor, look up to my pastor, treasure

my pastor.

A man, What a role model, what a man of God? Amen?

And I hope to amen be a minute part. Amen,

praise God.

I like that term.

Amen, Brother Jesse, Amen, a chip off the old block. Amen, Amen,

because that means there's a big one and all you

got to do is be a little old peace.

Amen.

I'd love to be a chip off the old block. Amen,

just the little peace. Amen.

This morning, praise God.

And I need your prayers this morning, Amen, because Amen,

you know what I have to preach behind Amen, my God, Amen,

those sermons of late Man as God spoke to us,

or what I tell you this.

I never write in my Bible. Amen. I try. I

not because I have a personal conviction against it. Amen.

I make stars by verses. I feel like God amen

wants me to. Amen. But I used to write sermon

titles and all those things, and I think that's wonderful

for some people. But I amen, I haven't done that

in quite some years. And pastors, Amen message Wednesday night.

Amen.

He gave the title Amen, and I had to confess immediately.

I put that one in there. Amen. I pray. Amen.

Many years from now, I'll open that Bible, Amen, and

God will remind me, Amen, what that speaks to all

of us.

Amen.

If you're gonna go up to heaven, amen, her God's

gonna promote you, you gotta stay little in your own eyes.

And Amen, we find such a wonderful Amen.

Example, here Amen, his brother Samuel testified so wonderfully already Amen,

a lady that was willing to submit amen, her life

to God.

Amen.

Now now I find this to be a joyous time

of year.

Amen.

It is one praise God with whom perhaps only two

characters amen, find dreary and a third unbearable.

Amen.

None other than the Scrooge Amen, the grants and old

slew foot Amen, would be those individuals Amen that would

find this season most dreary Amen and unbearable. But for

all of us, Amen, we find it to be a

joyful time of year.

Amen. Of time are we celebrate? Amen? Many one Amen.

Many are familiar with jingles. Amen.

To begin to replace those musics, amen, and those tunes,

we have to turn a deaf ear to Amen. And

you can walk into a store and not be vexed

amen by what's coming through the radio. But here Amen,

the proclamation of Jesus Amen, and his wonderful, miraculous birth.

Amen. Amen.

We're familiar with the calls from friends and acquaintances of

merry Christmas. Amen, a time where gifts are given, well,

wish is extended, and many fond memories are made, Amen,

and also revisited.

Amen.

It's a wonderful season Amen, that we're in now December. Amen,

bethlo Amen would think of Amen, what we've got coming up? Amen,

to give those gifts to the children, and what a

blessing it is Amen to give?

Amen?

Great or is it to give Amen than to be

a recipient of Amen? Praise God. And in our text Amen,

we find Mary. But I want to Amen, maybe preface

if that's how you say this, Amen, discermon with this

I felt led who Amen. This sermon is not meant

to glorify or deify, Amen, Mary, but rather Amen, to

use the miraculous conception as a parallel to cause Paul's

to all those who profess the work of salvation, a

mean which isn't principle? A man, an individual, a man

living according to the flesh, being washed in the blood, Amen,

and having the blessed lamb Jesus Christ take up habitation.

Amen in your heart.

Amen.

Mary was a virgin here at the birth of Jesus

when she was overshadowed, but would go on to have James, Joseph, Judas,

Simon and daughters. From what we can find in our studies. Amen,

not to be crude, but she is not what the

Catholic Church painter out to be a man.

And this is what I would like to say. Amen.

Here Amen, in the magnificant, what they call the magnificant,

that's Mary's song, a man found there in Luke. She

professes in verse number forty seven of chapter number one. Amen,

my Savior, God, my Savior. I didn't hear Jesus walk

this earth, Amen, and profess God to be his savior.

I ain't hurt God profess Jesus to be his savior,

nor have I heard the Holy Ghost to profess any

of the others Amen, to be his savior.

They are Amen, divine, they are deity. Amen.

Jesus was deity, and Mary Amen, she was not deity.

She was highly favored even by God, no doubt, because

of the lives she lived. She was highly favored because

of the way she walked before God. And she would amen,

be chosen by God to carry him.

Amen.

But as a Christian, I now believe I also carry

Jesus inside of me. I do not believe that has

deified me, and I do not believe that has made

me someone to be prayed to.

Amen.

But according to scripture, and I hope to prove to

you this morning, Amen, you are carrying the very son

of God in your bosom.

Amen.

Inside that re of case there is a supernatural being.

He has not turned you into supernatural, but he will

grant unto all those Amen, that are looking for his

appearing eternal life. And I believe Mary is such a water.

We find that in acts, Amen, that she would have

been someone that continued in her faith when Jesus Amen

made the fulfillment of his promise.

Amen. But Mary is not deity, Amen, She is not

a God. Amen.

She was just simply blessed to carry Amen, the only

begotten Son of God.

Aymen. She was blessed a man to.

Transport him for nine months Amen, until the time came that.

She should be delivered. Amen.

In here this morning, Amen, we must be transporting, we

must be carrying. We all should have the blessed Son

of God. We in residence in her hearse living a

man and working in us.

For in him we live, in him we move, and

we have our being. Aymen.

This is the truth of the gospel. They been that

God from the portals of Gloria. They been inhabit it

a body, theymen. It came one hundred percent God, one

hundred percent man that dwelt among us and walked they

man up and down our streets. Here they mad up

and down the roads. Healed the poor and the sick.

Amen.

But he went to see on the right hand of God.

And now he resignes in mere mortal beings.

Amen. Praise God. Amen. You all have to pray for

me this morning.

In our cotext our cotext describes and been the event,

the events that brought such a splendid season.

Amen.

Praise going God. It transports us through time.

Amen. And you can get on the time machine this morning.

In Luke chapter number one, Amen, and he details so

beauty Amen, the time Jesus came to earth.

Amen.

So if you're a time traveler with me this morning, Amen,

let us go back and look Amen at all that transpired.

Amen.

I would like us to think about this Amen. Maybe

as the first Christmas. I know Jesus wasn't born as

of yet, Amen, but we as pro life, believe he

was already living.

Amen. So God had already given him. Amen.

Here Praise God when we find it, Luke, he may

not have been Amen.

Crying in a manger. Yet Amen, But.

It was the first Christmas. It was the proclamation of

something great coming God. It was Mary's Christmas. Amen them

this morning, if I could preach to you, just for

a moment in time here, I'd like to talk to

you about a merry Christmas. Amen, A marry m a

r Why Amen, How she would have failed to Amen?

What she would have needed to do a man?

How she would have been living and in the way

she would have been treasuring God, And in the way

she would have been making sure the man she was

preserving life. They've been preserving him living inside of her,

not endangering They meant her habitation with him, they been

not putting in danger.

They been the closeness that she failed to him. They been.

We live in the world today. The men, they don't

believe her. You can lose him, they don't believe They man,

he's losing all. Remember what you're saved, You're always saved.

And once he's in you, he's always in you. Remember

there is something called her. They mean spiritual miscarriage. A

contrary to water.

Theymen.

They are preacher, theymen, for they are things in the

president a pregnancy. You must do and you should not

do they man, even show as I walk with Christ,

a merry Christmas in your heart?

They mean, what does Christmas look like her?

Have you treasured him? Have you preserved him? Have you

been walking holy? When God said I'm in you? Why man,

are you preserving life?

Amen?

Look at your neighbor and say, a merry Christmas to you,

Praise God. A merry Christmas, my God, A merry Christmas

to you. In our Coke text, the Angel makes his

appearance to marry in what I believe to be the

sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy.

Amen.

It describes coming out of talking about Elizabeth, and it

says and in the sixth month, Amen. And if you

look at that and really dig into that is highly likely.

I mean it is Luke Amen transporting us from Amen,

Elizabeth to Mary. And he tethers to two together by

saying and in the sixth month. And you find other

references through the Word of God, Amen, where he's the

Bible says that she had hid Amen her pregnancy five months.

Amen.

So maybe this was the transition Amen, from the fifth

to the sixth month. And the Angel Amen begins or

reveal it. And when God reveals it. There's just no hidhenit. Amen,

There's just no hidhen it. So here in the sixth

month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, I mean, he describes under her

the gift Amen, that is about to be bestowed upon humanity.

Amen.

She will in her womb house the sinless son of God. Amen,

the son of Jehovah God. For God will dispatch his

son to take up residency in her womb, in the

body he has prepared, Amen for an already existed, an

already omnipotent, and an already eternal son, as described in

Hebrews ten four through five. For it is not possible, Amen,

that the blood of bulls and of goat should take

away sin Verse number five. Wherefore he cometh into the world.

He says, sacrifices and offerings. Thou wouldst not but a

body thou hast prepared for me and already existed already Amen,

living already praise God eternal, already outgnifited, Great God, the

son of Jehovah. God came and took upper residency in

a body God prepared for Amen for him by a

spirit of the overshadowing God. What the Holy ghost Amen.

One hundred percent God, one hundred percent Man, may Man,

he began to live, Oh, Arthur, he began to live inside.

We've been a mere mortals. Jesus our greatest gift, the

greatest grift.

Amen.

The first Christmas Amen was given one hundred percent God,

one hundred percent Man.

Amen.

A body prepared for him. He entered into and was

carried in the body of Mary for nine months.

Amen. At his birth, the innkeeper seemed to break.

He meant the news that seemed to become humanity's anthem.

We have no room, We have no room. Amen.

Mary, though she was someone that made sure she made residents,

made room, Amen, made a place for Amen. Just as

brother Samuel said, she ended up saying, be it done

under me? Amen, Friend, this is her Amen, opening up

her body.

Amen.

As the temple of the Holy Ghost, we are all

the temple of the Holy Ghost. We all have the

ability Amen, to keep the door closed. We all have

the ability to shut out on all powerful, all knowing,

all controlling God.

Amen. But Mary would say, be it done under me?

They man, she had no doubt.

Amen, Well, she no doubt would have been been very

careful where she went, the things she did, The environment

she was in.

Amen.

The things she was involved in a man. As I've said,

there's limitations in pregnancy.

Amen. One on this painting you're not supposed to paint.

Another one at a certain point, you're not supposed to live.

They man.

There's things you shouldn't be inhaling. They man, you shouldn't

be eating red and meat. They mean, if it's too undercook.

You could get them in to see. Man. I know,

I know out of kookie, Amen, But I've been through

fourth They've been pregnancies at the hand of the vine,

hand of God. They men only through His power sustained.

And I've heard the doctors and they're to do and

to don't list.

Amen.

And if they can tell us what to do to

keep God, my God, a baby living inside of us.

Amen. And then we live in a world that acts

like God can't tell us how to preserve.

His very being living in the corridors of our soul.

Mary would have been careful. She wouldn't have been found

down at the Paba. She wouldn't have brought Jesus into

the Duke Chard. She wouldn't have broke Jesus into the

movie e out of Walmart. She wouldn't have brought Jesus,

they man praise God in the ungodly company.

She would have been pre careful.

How she was a ley been transporting him. Just you, friend,

as you walk day to day, you are taking God

with him. But where are you taking him? Can't he

continue to live in the Bible? You breathe him, Amen,

in the live Bible? You bring him here? First John

three and twenty four, the Bible said, and he that

keepeth his commandments, dwelleth in him and I in him?

Shoo?

Who the ones keeping what? Thus saith the word of God?

That's the one I want to live in. That's the

one I'm gonna stick around. Amen, I friend, God can

make a miraculous exodus Amen, out of your blossom. The

minute you cross his commandments. He can Amen evacuate a

spiritual myth. Carriage can take place, Amen, in the corridors

of your soul where you're left vacant and bear. They've

been wondering what happened? You want to know why I.

Tell you this?

They mean because Mary for nine months would have carried him, Amen.

But then the time came that she should have been delivered.

They mean that she might have lived with him for

a while, they men, but they're already beginning to grow

at distance.

And a lot of times, they.

Mean, when people lose God, they lose him living inside.

Quickly there begins to grow at distance, until he's a

thirty year old man, and he says, who is my mother?

Who is my brother? Only them that keep my commandments?

Oh friend, if you've lost him, you're already drifting away

from him. Imagine the boyd Mary failed. They meant, when

no longer was he with her. Amen, every waking moment

of the day, you should feel the same boid they

been when you've lost your salvation, when you've lost your

peace and your joy. And then I'll tell you what

of these This is the afters of a married Christmas.

It's the affice of God abiding in you, and you

and aim if He is to live in you, if

he is to take up residence inside you, you will

keep his commandments. Mary would have been someone walking above reproach. Amen,

I all, brother, Nathaniel, that's just that's just you.

You can't prove that it.

Man.

Mary would have been someone walking above reproach, someone living

a life that caused her to find favor in God's eyes.

You want to know who she'd have been like, someone

like Abraham, someone like Noah, someone like Job and Ben,

pure holy living their best to please God.

Amen.

And then if we if we look at scripture, amen,

to confirm this. And when we see a time, Amen.

And if I we see a time in Matthew, chapter

number thirteen, and I believe it's verse fifty five. Critics

come to Jesus and they're trying to find fault.

Amen. And they revert back to looking at the parents.

Now, if Jesus had been from someone that had brought

a reproach.

They would have used it. They would have abused it. Amen.

But this is all they could say about this matter.

Is not this Jesus the son of Mary and Joseph

the carpenter and in our paraphrase, and man, they didn't say,

ain't that couple with the bad attitude every time they're

at the grocery store?

Ain't that that couple, aymen that we know? Amen? They've

been running around on each other. Amen. Ain't that couple

we've heard? I mean that.

Joseph likes on Friday night to go down to the

bar and get drunk a man and commit fornication and

gross sins. Ain't that Mary, Amen that we've heard rumors

about her. She's the gossip of the town. Oh God,

are you hearing me preaching?

Ida? Aymen? But yet you claim to carry him.

You claim to be his brother, you claim to be

his sister, and you claim to be Amen, a spiritual mother,

a spiritual host, a spiritual amen, tabernacua, a spiritual temple.

And you transport him to the world.

You take him out of these doors and show they

has show him to the job, You show him to

the grocery store, you show him to the restaurant and waiter.

He remember, what would they sailah, Amen of Jesus if

you were his PARENTO? Hey, if you were married, what

would they think of you if you were married with

they having fought to find with Jesus?

If you were marry, could they point a figure out?

He would say, he was raised by a hypocretor, and

then he ain't bounder.

We didn't touch him, but then he settled the pew

in a dinna.

He was raised by some man that never listened to

the words of God, that never changed, but never lived.

Or go into the raw of Moses, or add he

thought he was above it. H h. There were no.

Accusations of marrying Joseph, simply.

That hard working man, that carpenter. Shure, what does the

world think of you as Jesus's host, as his feet

in his hands? Shout? I behold by you?

What is your point this morning? What would a Nathaniel

Christmas look like? Would Gabriel have been able to come?

What would a Rachel Christmas look like? Could the Holy

Ghost have an overshadowed a vessel? Would it have been

pure enough? Would it have been holy enough? We've already

said he won't put his spirit on or in him

in the unclean thing? And then what with a Christmas

morning look like?

Amen?

When God began to search here, Amen, in this generation

you are Amen. Praise God, people that can house the

Son of God. According to scripture, he said, Amen, I Amen,

abide in me and I and you, as the branch

cannot bear fruit of itself, accept it. Abide in the vine.

No more can ye accept ye. Abide in me, Amen,

Abide in me and I in you. Amen, a habitation

of God inside of you.

Amen. I wonder what those conversations were like.

Amen, All your fathers you know Amen, Praise God them mamaselles,

start talking to them, beouties.

Amen.

I wonder what Mary had to say, Amen for nine months,

I know who you are, friend.

You ought to know who he is.

You ought to know where you're taking him. Sure, he

is the pure, the sinless, thoughtless son of God that

walked through this world without sin. He won't walk through

it again inside of you without sin. He didn't calme

him in a second time into Mary's heart a man

to let her pollute him, or pollute who he was,

or put him in back communication or bad company or

bad attitude.

See would have they been rather.

Reproved her Ephesians forward one. I know I'm gonna try

to give you a bunch of scripture. Amen, So you

have to deal with that instead of me. I. Therefore,

the prisoner of the Lord beseechs ye that ye walk

worthy of the vocation, wherewith ye are called. Verse six

goes on to say, who is above all and through all,

and in you all you've gotten the walking worthy of

your calling. The vocation is calling. What does your walk

witness of it mean? That you are a spiritual Mary

that now carries the King of Glory in your bosom

to the world, or that you're a hell in professing.

They mean to have God inside of you and living

like the devil. Are you walking worthy? It's your life witnessing.

I am a Christian, a.

God reside in me. I will not touch dashel or No.

Do you have a worthy witness?

Or have you had a spiritual miscarriage? Mary would have

walked within the bounds of restriction required not to endanger

her precious cargo. The Bible says clearly green even not

shoot the spirit. John fourteen and five fifteen, Our golden

text said, if you love me, keep my commandment. Then

he goes on in twenty and twenty one and begins

to reiterate again. Aymen, he that hath my commandments and

keep with them. He it is that loveth me and

finishes up with amen, and will manifest myself to Him

to such a one. I mean, friend, let me tell you,

a Christian's walk with God should be like a pregnancy.

I know this may be out there here they mean

for a minute, but our pastor preaches this, and I

wholeheartedly find it in this parallel, and then there is

no pregnancy. A mother can hide Amen. And at some

point of Christian's life, they men. Most of the time,

within four Manta will begin to show there someone else.

There's someone now living inside of you. I've been within

four Manza, I've been married. Begin to demonstrate through the world,

got somebody in here? And man, what does your life

tell this world? But you've got somebody in now, or

that you've got the wild hit there, Marry Christmas to you,

Merry Christmas world.

He's here, he's here, He's a sign of me. He shut. Amen.

The Bible is clear. He will not take up residence

in a filthy host.

Yeah.

When he is grieved, he will vacate the premises, leaving

the house in better condition than he found it. According

to Matthew thirty Matthew twelve and forty four. Hey, man,

he will leave a house that's been swept, brother Philip,

it's been cleaned, it's been garnished.

Amen.

Then when that house is found empty and vacant by

evil spirits because of an absence of Jesus Christ, you

want to know what you're dealing with when he ain't

in you, aymen, you're dealing with a vacant house. They man,

it's about to be filled because Amen. God put a

for rent sign up on it. Amen, he put an

available sign up on it. He said, that's not mine sure,

and I'm.

Not with that. Amen.

And the devil goes and fines. Amen, your pure clean house.

Aymen.

You want to know why they leave church. And it

seems like they're okay, aymen. But they don't take him

long to theymen money up and dirty up the house.

Amen.

I don't take him loan to get back in. Theymen

their filthy world. He garb aymen, it's because God moved out.

He said, I'm not gonna be a part of that.

They maen a seven worship than they had moved in.

I'll tell you what's wrong with him. God ain't in there.

The devil moved in. Theymen the devil's moving company. They

been brought in loads of dirt, brought in loads up

despicable field. And if you ain't got God, wy man,

you reugh yourself open wmen, the devil possession. This is

why you need the King of Glory. Open up those

everglaston Gays. Let the King of Glory come he Oh,

let your heart be filled with his presence, that his goodness.

That his habitation be a bod man.

But he that keepeth his commandments and loves him is

loved of him, and he will reveal himself to him.

Of no doubt.

The communion of the thirty years, the closest of the Savior,

a man, Praise God, a man, would have been wonderful

for Mary.

She would have no doubt treasured it. Amen.

And then she would have felt the loss of it.

She would have felt the loss of it.

Amen. Look with me. Amen.

At Colossians chapter number one, first number twenty seven, Paul

is describing his mission, the reason he's here, what he's

here to do, and the great gift of God to

whom God would make known.

Amen.

Friend, He's wanting to make known under you, to whom

God would make known? What is the riches of the

glory of this mystery among the gentiles? You want to

know what the riches and the glory of this mystery is?

He tells you. He don't leave me guessing. Which is

Christ in you the hope of glory. Sure, you can't

be this rich on your own. You can't be this

bless on your own. You can't do it on your own.

Amen. What is the riches of His glory? Amen? What

is the manifestation of the mystery.

It is that Christ would come aswell in the hearts

of men and women, boys and girls. He would not

reject them. Amen, But to any of them that would

call on his name. Amen, he would take up habitation

and the ella, and they and him they would begin

to move Amen, and coexist together.

Amen.

But your will wouldn't dominate his, For he is the

brancha and you would take on his characteristics. You would

bear his fruita hey man, you would bear his leaves,

you would testify.

I am a part of Christ.

He is the dominator women lord, with lordship of supreme

and codal in my life. I'd let him have his

way as Mary Sada be a gun under me. I'll

take on your characteristics. I'll let your blood fall through

my veins. I'll let your prudence and your holiness a

change of dirty, oh creature.

And when God gets done, it's a new creature.

Have does a man begin to hate he wants loved

and loved things he wants hated.

He becomes a partner of a new bride. Christ move in.

Christ moves in should be treasured, the greatest treasure, the

greatest grift. It is simply Christ in you. Marri's Christmas,

Nathaniel's Christmas happened shutting up my eye had an old

fashioned altar where idea away with self, pride, ver a gilt.

We've been filtering this under pressed spirit of ha been that.

I got a good guilt, a great gilter. The best

guilt too, riches others. Gloria, the best thing you ever had.

To offer.

My Christmas was the day I he got saved, the

day he moved. In Revelations three and twenty, I'm sorry,

I'm fine cotton mouth this morning, Revelations three and twenty said, behold,

I stand at the door and knock.

I love this.

If many men will hear my voice and open that door,

I will come in to him.

And shut up with him, and he with me. Letther

say of you.

Sister Mary had to say, here, I am God, the

doors open, Lord, move on in, throw what you want

to Outah and Jesus moved in, and they began to

commute together.

He began to talk with her, and her with her.

I will come in too, heama, do you owe God

to move in to pack the devil's bags? And then

when the devil finds you at home today. You should

have a double back sitting on the doorstep. You ain't

even gotta do it. God will come in to pack

his backs for you. God will pack drug addiction for you.

He'll pack a man alcoholism for you. He'll pack up

the backs of rush for you. That'll move out. I

said a welcome, Oh boy, it's Christmas time. It's Christmas time.

It's Christmas time. God's here. Will you o for the door?

He wants the movie I commute with you.

God is still trying to find a place and a

willing heart that will keep his commandment. In our cotext,

Mary submitted to the will of God. It's in here,

brother Sam wh God talked to somebody, It's right here.

Verse thirty eight.

She said, amen, Lord, have your way.

She could have suffered stoning.

She would in those times, would have definitely had her

engagement that Joseph severed, she would have lost her reputation,

everything she held. She would have been shunned a man

as a fornicater and an adulterer.

But she said, God move in.

It don't matter what family says, It don't matter what

the job says.

You better let God move in.

It don't matter what they say out there, you better

let God's will they then move in. You better let

the King of Gloria begin to inhabit your heart of

spiritual marry.

Shoot, Amen, shout. Now we're coming to a close.

Galatians, Brother Philip read to us four in nineteen, my

little children of whom I travail in birth again until

Christ be formed in you. A man, pastor, I gotta

leave that with a lone pastor, dun't preach Amen, that

was so good until Christ be formed in you. Maybe

you should go back and listen to that. And man,

let's just shut me off and turn speaker on until

God began to develop you. God don't need to be developed.

He needs to develop you until He be formed. It

isn't that God is being made inside of you. It

is that an image of Christ is.

Being made of him.

You ever been to the zoo when they make them

wax monkeys and them gorillas. I loved them, And man,

that one of my youngest memories. We went, I think

it was zoo Zoo Atlanta or maybe Zoo Knoxville, and

my dad had me one of them green wax gorillas

and you crank it out and it presses it. Then

it presses the other half and puts them together.

Amen. God's doing that.

An image of a gorilla was made.

I wasn't m and a gorilla. Amen.

The image of a gorilla was being made. Christ in

you can be formed. You a living example of Him,

a proper rep That's the whole sermon. You are representing him.

Mary was representing him, and later on he would have

to deal with what she did, Amen, because others would

have saw it, Amen, and used it against him. You

know there's people in this world Amen, that use Amen

the actions of soul, called Christians against him.

Amen. He never did one thing wrong Amen, by.

Some Christian God out alive in church, Amen, and did

something they wasn't supposed to instead of submitting the spiritual authority.

Enough on that, Amen. All right. We must let the

spirit man the second birth happen. Amen.

When we are born of the Father's lords and our

amen made to be his offspring.

Amen. Christ is born in us and we and him Amen.

No longer according to Amen the lust of the flesh,

but after the spirit.

Amen.

Second Corinthians six, and I said I'm coming to a

clothes We're almost done, Amen. Second Corinthians six and seventeen.

And I want to revisit that verses. God gave it

to me so strongly, walking worthy of the vocation. What

is your vocation? I'll give you the calling of the Savior.

This morning.

Vocation is calling. What is the calling? And he stands

on the shore. Amen, he stands on the threshold of purity.

He stands on the threshold of holiness and righteousness. And

he begins to call out into this world. And he says, wherefore,

come out from among them.

Amen.

He begins to make a calling, begins to extend the vocation.

Come out from among the ella and me he's separate,

Saith the Lord, touch not the untieclaimed unclean thing.

And then I will receive you.

And he goes on to say in verse eighteen, and

will be a father under you, and ye shall be

my sons and daughters.

Saith the Lord Almighty.

This is your vocation, Amen, child of God, that you

represent him well, that he live inside of you, and

you be careful what you're doing with.

Him while he is residing in you. Amen.

Jesus is they've been preached to us. Ay Man, Jesus,

preach to us about our lifestyle. He directed us to

be perfect even as he is. But they don't want

to hear that. They want to think he always lives

in there. No, not if you're giving him unholy and

I'm pure and barbles, God will not reside he live

in those conditions. You must keep his commandments and for

his children, they're not grievous. Brother Jesse, when you come

to the piano, I found you ot another parallel in

my mind. I know it may run crazy. Jesus made

a promise there in our golden text, said I would

not leave you comfortless, and he said I will come

unto you. Now this is at a point in time

where Mary has lost him. She stands there and watches him.

They's been no doubt. She was in the crowd that

watched him to ascend. She we know, was at the

feet when he gave up the ghost, and he said, Amen,

Amen young man, thy mother, Mary, thy son. Mary has

lost what would have been Amen a treasurer. Put yourself there,

and you should be there. You've got him. He's in there.

You feel him move, you feel him live, you feel

him kick. I know it's different. Now Mary comes. Let's

read two more places as we close. Go with me

to Matthew chapter number twelve, verse forty eight. He said,

but he's answered and said unto him that told him,

who is my mother? And who are my brethren? It

appears to be a spiritual amen disavowment, a spiritual distancing,

as it should be. He is now deity. He is

no longer a little infant. He is the Son of God,

the savior of the world, and true to his word,

true to his promise to all of us this morning.

He makes it clear, I'm no respector a person. And

he goes on to say, for whosoever shall do the

will of my father, which is in heaven, the same

as my brother and sister and my mother, to who's

theo over shall do the will.

Of my father. It is in his commandments.

You've got to be a keeper of the word if

he is going to maintain residency. All right, Go with

me to Acts. Now Mary has lost him. He's went

to heaven. But she's had a promise. And Acts Chapter

number one, verse number fourteen says they all continue with

one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and

marry the mother, Oh Jesus, and with his brother.

Friend.

There became a fulfillment of his promise in Mary's life.

He had told her in John fourteen, I'm gonna come

and I'm gonna find you.

I'm not gonna leave you without my presence.

God has made way for each and every one of

us to have access to His presence. And then you

read and when the day of Pentecost was fully come,

they were all with one accord in one place, praise God.

In the Bible says they were all filled.

There was a second coming a time when Mary got

him again, she got that comforter, and she took him home.

He didn't ever leave her. Nine months later he was

with her. Low. I am with you always. He's gonna

be with you. He'll stick closer than any brother. Amen.

But you, friend, can have a spiritual miscarriage. You can

miscarrie the Savior. Stay with me all over the house.

I'll leave you with this. It was Christmas again, head

double who base it was Christmas again. I don't know

if you need to find God again or you need

to draw closer to him. But he is as close

as the mention of his name. Now imagine, imagine with me, mother,

Amen of Jesus, not Deity, Amen. But a woman that

had a bond, Amen, the woman that had helped raise him.

When she felt the absence, we know she panicked when

she lost him.

She sought him sorrowfully, sorrowing. Amen.

And now he comes again, and she takes him home

with her. He goes with her alway, even until the

end of the world.

Amen.

As he promised in John chapter number fourteen. I mean,

let's come and pray this morning. I'm here just simply

preaching to you. If you need a Christmas and then

Christ is available. He will live in the hearts of

men and women, boys and girls.

Amen.

And then for those of us who profess to be

transporting him within our bosom, Amen, you better be careful

what you're doing with him with you, Amen.

It isn't just that he's watching you and seeing you.

He's with you. He's going with you.

On your bed at night, playing games on your phone,

a man looking at billboards.

He's with you? Or is he? Have you vexed him?

Have you grieved the spirit and he left? Amen? Do

you need to invite him into your heart? Even?

Friend, God lives in the corridor of your bosom.

He is your keeper.

Your leader, and your He is a present help. He

is a present help. Why is he present? Because he's

with you, He's living inside of you. He man, Let's

talk to the Lord for a little while. Talk to

him like he's right there. Talk to him like he's listening.

He been. Talk to him, man, like he's inside of

your heart. What if he was a foot away, six

inches away? Is your head on his bosoms? Are you

listening to his voice?

Oh? He's with you this morning. A merry Christmas. What

would a Christmas at your house that your heart look like?

Would he be welcome, would he be present? Would your

doors be open? A man, let's talk to the Lord

this morning.
