Christmas - Light conquers darkness

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: The message is about the true meaning of Christmas as spiritual warfare, the invasion of the Kingdom of Light conquering the darkness. The passage from Isaiah 9:1-6 is discussed, emphasizing that Christmas is about the power of light, with the invasion of the Kingdom of God pressing against the Kingdom of Darkness. The message also highlights that the reason why people struggle with Christmas is not Christmas itself, but the fact that we dwell in the land of the shadow of death without Jesus. The difference for Christians is that they have access to Emmanuel, who is so wonderful that words fail to describe how wonderful he is. The message encourages people to seek the presence of God, who is more beautiful, sublime, and wonderful than any situation they face. The message also calls for people to be inspired to love and honor the Lord, and for the Lord to honor their steps.

The speaker talks about doubt and confusion that can lead to paralysis and terror in decision-making. They encourage the listener to open their hearts to the Lord and make decisions that honor and love Him. The speaker also talks about the importance of raising a temple to the Lord as a prophetic act in a financially chaotic and poverty-ridden community. They emphasize the strength and love of God as a source of hope in weakness and encourage the listener to pray for the peace of their city, homes, and families. The speaker ends by declaring the presence and light of the Lord in every home and the victory over darkness.

Isaiah chapter 9 beginning with the first verse. Tonight we want to not see this as a message about Christmas but to see Christmas I would say as of the nature that the Church of Jesus Christ should see it and how a people like the Congregation of Judah and other peoples like it should see it waiting the year 2013 do you know why?

Brothers: I would say my brothers that when one understands Christmas its biblical background as we are going to see it here in this prophecy that the prophet Isaiah gives us, and why Jesus, and why Emmanuel, and why Bethlehem, and why what the incarnation?, we will see something, Christmas is spiritual warfare. Christmas is spiritual warfare. I'm not sure what kind of Christmas you had yesterday, maybe that's the reason you are here, it's because you had a wonderful Christmas and that's why you are here worshiping the Lord. But you know? Christmas when we look at it biblically, when you understand it biblically, for me the reason I love Christmas is because I'm convinced that Christmas is about spiritual warfare.
