God with us
Samuel Acevedo
(Audio: Spanish, English) ->Original
SUMMARY: The central idea of Christmas is Emmanuel, which means God with us. This means that God is not just omnipresent, but He is among us, for us, and with us in our daily lives. He wants to be our friend and has a purpose for us. This idea of Emmanuel should re-configure our understanding of Christmas and what it means to celebrate it. It is not about the material things or traditions, but about the fact that God came to Earth as a human to be with us and save us. No matter what challenges we face in life, we can have victory because God is with us.
The speaker talks about the idea of God being with us, using examples from the Bible such as Ezra and Joseph. He encourages listeners to ask God for a mission worthy of His glory and to pay attention to dreams and take risks for the Kingdom of God. He reminds listeners that if God is with us, no one can stop us. The speaker leads a prayer in which listeners declare that God is with them and invites those who want to receive Jesus for the first time to come forward. The prayer ends with a declaration of Emmanuel and a request for God's manifest presence in their lives.

How many of you had a Merry Christmas? How many of you had a Merry Christmas? Pastor Samuel and I have a prayer before God and we want, we long for a 100% answer to that prayer. There is something that God has for you that you should be happy and content about. That God is with you and that he has never left you or forsaken you. Let's go in prayer.
Lord Jesus we thank you for your presence. Thank you for every song and chorus that was raised before you. Thanks for this chorus. Thanks for the drama. Thank you for the many ways you have given us to tell you that we love you and that we need you. And thank you for this word. Spirit of God, this is your word, that it be you blowing on it and make it alive so that souls can be freed, that bodies can be healed and that those who are chained can leave here free. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
