IS YOUR HOME FLOODED WITH LIGHT?

We are currently in the season of remembering the most wonderful celebration in the history of the world--when Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to this earth as a little baby. We know that this was not the actual time of his birth, but it could have been the time of His miraculous incarnation.

God spoke through the prophecy of Zacharias that He would send His Beloved Son into the world "TO GIVE LIGHT TO THEM THAT SIT IN DARKNESS and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace" (Luke 1:79). This is not the light of Christmas lights, but the light of Jesus Christ that fills are hearts and which He wants us to shine to everyone around us.

They had no room for the Light of the World in Bethlehem. Do we make room for Him in our lives? Do we allow Him to expose the darkness and flood our lives with His light? Every time we respond to the moving of the Holy Spirit in our lives and say Yes to God we open to His light. When we are stubborn, want our own way, and say No to the convicting of the Holy Spirit, we choose darkness.

Dear mother, we must teach our children this powerful principle too. Every time they say Yes to you and Yes to the Holy Spirit, they receive more light into their lives. When they disobey you and say No to the voice of their conscience, they allow darkness into their lives.

Let’s be those who open up MORE AND MORE to the Light and less and less to the darkness. Proverbs 4:18: "But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth MORE AND MORE unto the perfect day."

Each new day, individually and as a family, ask God to FLOOD YOU WITH HIS LIGHT.

FULLTIME HANUKKAH CELEBRATORS (Please read this one!)

Apart from the official Hanukkah celebration, we read about a number of dedication celebrations in God's Word.

1) Dedicating the tabernacle for 12 days. Each prince of Israel dedicated the altar for a day each (Number 7:10-11, 84, 88). This was the first dedication we read about.

2) Dedicating a new house (Deuteronomy 20:5). It is biblical to dedicate a new house.

3) Dedicating Solomon's temple which he built for the Lord (1 Kings 8:62 and 2 Chronicles 7:5, 9).

4) Dedicating the rebuilt temple when they came back from Babylon--Zerubbabel's temple (Ezra 6:16).

5) Dedicating the rebuilt walls of Jerusalem (Nehemiah 12:27).

And there is one more! You'll never guess!

It’s found in Proverbs 22:6: "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." The word "train" is “hanuk,” the verb of hanukkah, meaning "to initiate, dedicate, consecrate." It is not enough to celebrate Hanukkah for eight days. As parents, we are FULLTIME HANUKKAH CELEBRATORS!

When we realize that training our children means to dedicate them to the Lord, it gives us a much larger and loftier vision. Everything we do and plan for our children should be done in the light of dedicating them to the Lord and setting them apart for His service. It's not a one-time dedication. It’s a verb which requires daily action.

When our children are disobedient or don't complete what we have asked them to, we can sometimes be lazy and let it go. But not if we understand we are daily dedicating them to the Lord. How can we let things go when we consecrating them to God's holy service? We have the responsibility to train them to obedient so they will be obedient to the Lord!

As children get older, they can become more worldly and want to do what other worldly teens are doing. We could think, "Oh that's the stage they are going through." But not if we understand that we are daily consecrating them to the Lord. We will pray up a storm. We will fight the devil. We will work with our children to keep them on the narrow road that leads to life. We will do everything to save them from the broad road that leads to destruction. WE ARE PROVERBS 22:6 HANUKKAH PARENTS!

When we “hanuk” our children, it determines how we educate our children. It would be ludicrous to send our children into an ungodly education system each day if we are daily consecrating them for God's purposes.

As we consecrate our children to the Lord, we recognize that they totally belong to the Lord for whatever time God has for them on this earth. Above everything else, we know that we are ultimately preparing them for eternity.

Every day is a day of dedicating our children to the Lord,

Raise your vision up to God’s vision for your children!

SHINE YOUR LIGHT

Each morning and evening during Hanukkah we love to read the Scriptures about God’s light and how He wants us to light up this world.

Genesis 1:4: “And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.” God’s purpose is to separate the light from the darkness. One of the plagues God sent to Egypt was three days of darkness. In the land of Egypt, they experienced “thick darkness.” It was so dark that they could not see in front of them. No one could move. But the children of Israel had light in all their dwellings (Exodus 10:21-23).

In the Bible Egypt speaks of darkness, deception, and the spirit of this world. God does not want us to have any part of Egypt. Read Isaiah 30:1-3; 31:1-3; 2 Corinthians 6:17, 18; and Revelation 18:4. He wants us to separate from the kingdom of darkness. Separate. Sever. No blur. No grey.

When dark thoughts come into our minds, or evil tendencies from the enemy, we separate immediately!

As parents, we must guard against the dark things of evil subtly coming into our home. We must watch the little grey areas. They gradually multiply. You can be outside at dusk and the darkness slowly comes. Then suddenly it is black. We must guard against the encroaching darkness in our homes.

Job 5:5, 6 (GW) speaks of the wicked and says: “The flame of his fire stops glowing. The light in his tent becomes dark.” We must not let the light in our homes become dark. We must expose and push out all darkness and daily open our home to the light of God.

Instead, in the midst of deception and darkness, let’s shine with God’s light of ruth. Isaiah 60:1-3 says: “Arise shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.”

Don’t hide your light (Matthew 5:14-16).

VICTORY COMES FROM GOD!

Hanukkah post for today:

VICTORY COMES FROM GOD!

Judas Maccabee and his brothers continually fought battles to save Israel and every time they faced armies far larger and stronger than themselves. On one occasion the enemy came to wipe them out with 20,000 men and they could only muster 6,000. But their trust was in God.

Listen to Judas' confession before one battle: "When all his followers saw the host coming against them, they said to Judas, 'How can so few of us fight against so many? Besides, we have had nothing to eat all day, and we are exhausted.' Judas replied: 'Many can easily be overpowered by a few; it makes no difference to Heaven to save by many or by few. Victory does not depend on numbers; strength comes from Heaven alone . . . Heaven will crush them before our eyes. You need not be afraid of them'" (1 Maccabees 3:17-21).

The Israelites also had to face enemies far bigger than them. Deuteronomy 9:1-3 says: “Hear O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations GREATER AND MIGHTIER than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven, a people great and tall, the children of the Anakims (giants), whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak! Understand therefore this day, that the Lord thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.”

I know that you, too, often face challenges that loom much bigger than you can handle. Don't focus on your difficulty. Look to God. He is your Strength. He is your Source. He is your Sufficiency. He will always do what you cannot do. When we try to handle our problems on our own, we usually make a mess of the job. Put them in God's hands because He always knows best how to handle them.

Victory does not come by intelligence or fleshly strength. It only comes from God. Just as God continually delivered the Maccabees as they faced insurmountable armies, so God will deliver you as you trust in Him. Make sure you have the right confession. Don't confess your problems; confess your trust in God. It's the way to victory.

Even currently, we are facing an enemy that looms bigger than us! No matter how much evidence arises regarding the fraudulent election, it is immediately stomped upon. We have nowhere to go but God. But we will not give up trusting Him to expose all evil and abominable fraud and bring forth righteousness and integrity to this nation again.

A MOTHER'S COURAGE (Day 4 of Hanukkah)

Today's Hanukkah story.

A MOTHER'S COURAGE (Day 4 of Hanukkah)
(Forgive me for sharing such a gruesome story, but it is history)!

A brave mother watched her son being killed. No, not just killed but cruelly tortured. They cut out his tongue, scalped him, cut off his hands and feet, and while he was maimed and helpless, fried him alive! In the same manner, they tortured and killed her second and third sons.

The third son cried out: "I have received these limbs from heaven, and I give them up for the sake of God's laws." Another cried out: "We are prepared to die rather than sin against our ancestral laws" (2 Maccabees 7:2, 11).

Because they would not bend and turn from God's laws this dear mother watched as Antiochus Epiphanes tortured her fourth, fifth, and sixth sons the same way. The mother had only one son left, her beloved youngest. Antiochus tried to influence the mother to save his life. He promised he would make him rich and prosperous and even a political advisor.

She obliged by turning to her youngest son saying: "Son, pity me who carried you in the womb nine months, nursed you for three years, nurtured you, and brought you into this stage of life with care. I beg you, child . . . Don't fear this killer but prove worthy of your brothers. Accept death so that in God's mercy I should recover you with your brothers" (2 Maccabees 7:27-29). She watched her last son die before she was put to death herself.

This mother was a nurturing and caring mother. But she had a vision for her children beyond this earth. She raised her sons to fear God rather than man. She raised them to stand for truth, no matter what the consequences. She raised them to see beyond this earth to the endless life of the heavenly.

May God help us to be courageous mothers. I believe it’s time for a renewal of courage which seems to have disappeared from our nation today. Instead of rising up for truth and freedom the majority are submissively cowering to ungodly mandates, lockdowns, and masks and giving up their God-given freedoms. Courage is more than a virtue. It is a muscle which must be exercised. The more we exercise it, the more we will grow in courage. And we need to exercise it now. If we don’t brave up now to face these issues in our nation, how will we fare when we face the “mark of the beast” which will eventually come? These things are like a pre-curser and prove what we will do in the final round.

The great men of faith in Hebrews 11 did not start out brave. They grew in courage. What was their testimony? “Their weakness was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight” (v.34. NLT).

May God save us from being cowardly submissive and may He save us from raising wimpy, mediocre children who are seduced by the humanist trend of an ungodly society. May He anoint us with the mighty power of God to raise children who will have the courage to stand for God and for truth, no matter what persecution they face.

Ephesians 6:13: “Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day and having done all TO STAND.”

Have a great day,

Nancy Campbell

WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?

Would Jesus stay in lockdown?

Would Jesus hide away?

Would Jesus visit those alone

If He were here today?

Would Jesus wear a mask

When He goes to get some bread?

Would He stare with hollow eyes,

Or would He smile instead?

Would Jesus jump away

When a person walks too near?

Would He walk across the road,

Or would He show no fear?

But it’s easy to be Jesus,

He’s safe, for He’s God’s Son,

He’s protected by His Father

But He’s not the only one.

Not one of us can die

Before the Father calls us home,

For we are His precious children,

We’re not left here all alone.

Should we do what Jesus did?

Should we visit those alone?

Or should we stay away from them

And leave them on their own?

Should we cover up our face

Because we’re told we must?

Or should we smile and talk about

The God who we can trust?

Should we meet up as a church?

Should we sing His praise?

Should we hide behind a mask?

Join in with this new craze?

How is the church responding?

Are we sharing our real hope?

Are we showing all our nation

How Christians really cope?

We need to show we’re different,

Our response can’t be the same,

God is telling us quite clearly,

Christianity’s not a game.

It’s time that we got serious,

Understood what God is saying,

Time to listen to this wake-up call,

Time that we were praying.

Praying that we take this chance

To show this fearful nation,

That our hope lies not in vaccines,

But in Jesus, our Salvation.

I say Amen. We are facing “gross darkness,” and therefore it’s time to rise up and shine (Isaiah 60:1-3). It’s time for the people of God to rise up and speak out. It’s time to stand with God and speak out against overwhelming fraud and a stolen election. It’s time to live in the freedom our Constitution gives us. It’s time to resist mandates that are against God, the Bible, and our Constitution. Our nations are on the brink of destruction or freedom. Which side are you on?

FAMILY DEDICATION SERVICE

Hanukkah post for today:

FAMILY DEDICATION SERVICE

Why do we call this celebration "Hanukkah"? Because "Hanukkah" is the Hebrew word for "dedication." When Judas Maccabee (the hammer) and his army eventually crushed their enemies, Judas and his brothers said: "Let's go up to cleanse and rededicate the sanctuary" (1 Maccabees 4:36). The temple was desolate, the gates burned, and even shrubs were growing in the courts like a forest! But the Maccabees got “stuck in” and cleansed and restored the sanctuary.

They built a new altar with whole, unpolished stones (because the altar had been desecrated by Antiochus Epiphanes), brought in the Lampstand, the Altar of Incense, and the Table of Showbread, and offered sacrifices as God originally commanded. "So they celebrated the rededication of the altar for eight days" (1 Maccabees 4:56).

How does this affect our lives? God no longer lives in the Holy of Holies in the temple, but in our bodies, which are the temple of His Holy Spirit. We are not only the temple of the Holy Spirit, but the naos which is the Greek word for the Holy of Holies in the temple. This is the word which is used in 1 Corinthians 6:19 and 2 Corinthians 6:16. What an indescribable truth!

1 Corinthians 6:19, 20: “What? Know ye not that your body is the temple (naos—which is the word for Holy of Holies) of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.” You are now God’s temple where He wants to reside in all His glory.

Our temples may not be desolate, but it is easy for us to allow things to come into our lives which grieve the Holy Spirit and spoil and dirty our naos. Just as the Maccabees had to cleanse and rededicate the temple, so we need times in our lives when we rededicate our bodies, souls, and spirits to the Lord.

Therefore, we find it a lovely idea to have a rededication service one night during Hanukkah and dedicate our temples again to the Lord. Choose which morning or evening you would like to do this together as a family. Explain it to your children. Ask each one of them to confess to the Lord anything in their lives that grieves the Holy Spirit and to rededicate their "body temple" to the Lord. This includes mom and dad too. Each one can do this silently or aloud, as you feel led of the Holy Spirit.

When we have all dedicated ourselves individually, the father can rededicate the whole family to be a living sacrifice to the Lord and to be set apart for His purposes (Romans 12:1, 2).

I know that the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you mightily as you experience this dedication service in your home.

Be blessed,

Nancy Campbell

IT’S TIME TO SPEAK UP

Jesus Christ, the Son of God was never reticent to speak the truth, even in the face of death. When he came to Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Dedication (the Bible name for Hanukkah), He walked in Solomon's Porch (on the eastern side of the temple) and people gathered around Him.

Jesus knew the Jews would be remembering more than the rededication of the temple and the lighting of the Menorah again. They remembered the great victory over Antiochus Epiphanes by the Macabees, but also how he lifted himself to be god over them. It was Antiochus himself who added "Epiphanes" to his name, which means "God manifest" which was utter blasphemy to the Jews.

In the midst of this thinking Jesus boldly and publicly declared, "I and my Father are one” (John 10:30). In other words, He confessed that He was God, which of course, He was! This was too much for the Jews who, remembering Antiochus Epiphanes the evil blasphemer, took up stones to stone him (John 10:22-33).

It was no coincidence that Jesus chose this timing to speak these words. Everything about Hanukkah speaks of standing up for truth even in the face of danger.

Are you boldly standing up for truth? Right at this moment we are facing an unprecedented moment in our history. So few are willing to speak out for truth, even when they know and believe the truth. We’ve got to get past just knowing the truth and be willing to speak it out.

Can you believe that the Supreme Court has refused to take the case (filed by Attorney General Ken Paxton of Texas and other state US Attorney Generals) regarding the fraudulent election? The Supreme Court of our land have legalized abortion and homosexuality, and yet are not willing to stand up for an honest election. It is not because they don’t have the evidence. There is more evidence than is needed to expose such a fraudulent election on so many different areas.

If we all don’t begin to speak out loud and make our voices heard, we will no longer have America as we know it. They are fighting tooth and nail against the Constitution of our great nation because they want to bring in the Global Reset and the new Economic World Order. We will be reduced to owning nothing, will live like communism, and gone will be the American Dream.

You don’t believe me? Check out the YouTube, “The Great Betrayal” and also the “World Economic Forum” (if you can still find them as the Big Tech take down all truth) and they tell you plainly in their own words. In fact the World Economic Form begins with “You will own nothing, and you will be happy.”

It's time to speak up! May we never cringe to speak the truth, no matter what the consequences.

MY FAMILY AND I WILL NEVER GIVE UP

In this time when we are facing oppression of lockdowns and clampdown of free speech in this nation, it is a good time to refresh ourselves of the story of the Maccabees who rose up against tyranny to save their nation. The brave stories of the Maccabees remind us to never cower in the face of tyranny. I’ll share a story each day of Hannukah for you to read.

MY FAMILY AND I WILL NEVER GIVE UP

Hanukkah, or the Feast of Dedication as it is called in the New Testament (John 10:22, 23) is a festival of lighting candles for eight days to remember the dedication of the temple and the relighting of the lampstand which God commanded should never go out (Exodus 27:20, 21).

It all happened because of a very brave family. Antiochus Epiphanes ruled over Israel and commanded all Jews to renounce their way of life, practice pagan observances, and live like the Greeks. He erected the "abomination of desolation" in the temple. Many Jews assimilated to avoid persecution and being killed. BUT NOT THIS FAMILY!

Mattathias was a godly older man with five brave sons—John, Simon, Judas (known as Maccabeus), Eleazar, and Jonathan. When the officials came to their town of Modein, they tried to get Mattathias to influence the people of his town to turn away from God. Listen to his reply, “Mattathias answered in a LOUD VOICE: What do I care if everyone in the king's entire kingdom turns from their own religion and starts obeying his laws? MY FAMILY AND I WILL ALWAYS KEEP THE PROMISES OUR ANCESTORS MADE TO GOD. WE WILL NEVER GIVE UP OUR FAITH OR DISOBEY EVEN ONE OF GOD'S LAWS. WE WILL NOT OBEY ANTIOCHUS!" (1 Maccabees 2:19-20).

When a cowardly Jew stepped forward to obey the king by offering a sacrifice, Mattathias was so furious that he rushed over, killed the man, destroyed the altar, and killed the official who ordered the sacrifice. He and his sons then ran to the hills leaving everything they owned behind. This began the bravery of the Maccabee family who conducted continual battles against the enemy and eventually delivered Israel and Jerusalem and the temple of God.

We don't face being killed for our faith today here in our Western countries, although this is currently happening in many countries of the world. Will we be those who give in or will we have courage, individually, and as families to stand true to God, even if no one else is standing? The Scripture says: "Let God be true, but every man a liar" (Romans 3:4).

May God give us the strength and anointing to be bold and courageous and to raise children who will have courage and boldness to stand up for truth and never give up their faith.

Be blessed.

IT TAKES JUSTICE

God is a God of justice. “Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne,” the psalmist writes in Psalm 89:14. God orders the world with justice and it is the way He wants our homes and nations to be ordered.

God commands us to raise our children with justice. If they don’t know justice growing up, they won’t understand how the world works. And they won’t understand who God is.

In fact, we see an interesting understanding from In the book, Surveying the Evidence, where the authors state, “If atheism is not normal, why do certain people become unbelievers? First of all, it is well known that the seeds of atheism can be planted early in life. One of the most dangerous contributions a parent can make toward the spiritual delinquency of his child is a failure to instill within him a wholesome respect for authority. If the parent neglects to set the proper example as an authority figure, or refuses to exercise discipline with love, he might well be rejected as an authority-figure by his child, and thus, by transference, the child ultimately may come to disdain all authority, including the Supreme Authority, God.” *

What does Genesis 18:19 say about Abraham, the pattern father? “For I know him, that he will command his children, and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, TO DO JUSTICE AND JUDGMENT . . . “ Abraham didn’t hope things would work out in his family the way he wanted. He COMMANDED his children after him to do justice and judgment.” This should also be our pattern.

How do we exercise justice? We learn 10 principles from a wonderful passage in 2 Chronicles 19:4-11 where King Jehoshaphat went through the land to bring the people back to God. He then set judges throughout all the cities and told them how God wanted them to judge. Take time to read this passage.

We must embrace these biblical principles in our parenting. We must also pray for every judge in our nation that they will learn to judge by these principles. We must especially pray at this time for all the state judges and Supreme Court Judges who are judging the cases of our fraudulent election that they will judge according to God’s pattern. Here are the principles:

1. You must take heed to judge according to God’s judgment, not man’s (verse 6).

2. God is involved with you in judging for God is a God of justice and judgement (verses 6 and 11).

3. You must judge in the fear of God (verses 7 and 9). Do you notice that God repeats this principle of the fear of the Lord two times?

4. You must take action on the verdict, not let it slide. “Take heed and do it” (verses 7, 10, and 11).

5. You must not have respect of persons in judgment (verse 7).

6. You must not take bribes. “The LORD our God DOES NOT TOLERATE perverted justice, partiality, or the taking of bribes (verse 9, NLT).”

7. You must judge faithfully (verse 9).

8. You must judge with a perfect (undivided) heart (verse 9).

9. You must warn the guilty not to sin against the LORD. If you fail to do this God will be angry with you (verse 10).

10. You must judge COURAGEOUSLY. Verse 11 says: “Deal COURAGEOUSLY.” The Hebrew for this phrase is “asah chazaq.”

“Asah” means “to take action.”

“Chazaq” means “to be strong, courageous, valiant, to make firm.”

May God help us to parent with God’s justice and judgment. His justice is not legality, but perfect and fair. And let’s pray for God’s justice to return to our nation.

Be blessed,

Nancy Campbell

ARE YOU ON GOD’S SIDE?

Have you found it incredible to believe the corruption that took place in our recent election? It is truly unbelievable, isn’t it? I am sure you have read hundreds of stories of the corruptions by all different ways and means, including the planned glitches in the Dominion voting machines. We could list pages of findings, but just a couple to remind us of what we are facing.

In Nevada, the lawyer, Jesse Binnal verified that 40,000 people voted twice! That’s not a slight problem, it’s a big one. In Pennsylvania the lawyer, Jenna Ellis, found 200,000 ballots counted illegally.

I believe we must understand how God feels about all this. God always looks for a just measure. He is against any fraud. It is an abomination in His sight. Let’s check God’s Word (apart from the Constitution that has been violated).

2 Chronicles 19:7 (NLT): “The LORD our God DOES NOT TOLERATE perverted justice.”

Proverbs 11:1: “A false balance is ABOMINATION tot the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.” Did you notice the word ABOMINATION?

Here it is again in Proverbs 20:10 (NASB): “Differing eight and differing measure, both of them are ABOMINABLE to the LORD.”

And yes, here’s the word again in Deuteronomy 25:15, 16: “But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shall thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD they God giveth thee (a good promise for long life). For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously are an ABOMINATION unto the Lord thy God.” Read also all Leviticus 19:34-36 and Proverbs 16:11.

Micah 6:11 says: “Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights?” The word deceitful is “mirmah” and means “fraudulent, false, treachery”

God sees this election as an ABOMINATION and TREACHERY. Therefore, we must see at He sees it. There are many, even Christians, who acknowledge the fraud, but are quite willing to acquiesce to cheating and say, “Well, it’s gone too far now. We can’t do anything about it.”

That is giving in to tyranny. That is giving up. That is not standing up for righteousness. That is not hating evil and loving righteousness as God commands us! What God calls an abomination, we should also call an abomination.

In fact, if we relate this to normal life, how would we respond? If someone cheats in a race, they are disqualified. Shouldn’t it be the same rule for a presidential race? Even more so. The planned robbery of this election should result in disqualification.

So what do we do? We pray. We treat it like an abomination. We stand for righteousness. We call, write, and email our senators, congressmen, and leaders. We sign petitions. And we teach our children justice. They must also understand that this election is an abomination or they will grow up not understanding justice and in a nation where there will be no law and order.

We and our children must never give in to evil.

May we be brave enough to stand up for what is right.

Have a great day,

Nancy Campbell

ARE YOU HIDING?

The first question “The Westminster Shorter Catechism” asks is:” What is the chief end of man?”

We all know the answer: “Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him for ever.” What a beautiful vision for our lives. This is not only for sacred moments, but for every moment in our lives. In our homes. Teaching and training our children. When Christ dwells in our hearts, every moment, and every action is sacred. Changing your baby’s diaper is no less sacred than sitting in church.

I was amazed again as we read John 17:22 in our Family Devotions the other morning. In the beautiful prayer that Jesus prayed for His disciples, and for all who would be saved, He said to His Father: “The glory which thou gavest me I have given them.” Isn’t that incredible?

Jesus came, in the flesh, to reveal the glory of His Father. Because He is now at the right hand of His Father, He passes on His glory to all who are born again into His family. We are now His vessels, to reveal in our flesh and blood, the glory of the Father. We were created to reveal God’s image.

How do we reveal His image and glorify Him? We do it through our deeds, but mostly through our faces. This is how we expose who we are. We manifest the glory of God through shining His love and kindness through our faces. Through our smiles. Through our open faces (2 Corinthians 3:2, 18).

2 Corinthians 2:14 reminds us that we are manifest the fragrance of Christ wherever we go. How can we show the glory of God through a masked face? You can’t. They hide your face. They hide your expressions. They hide the glory of God. That’s why, until this tyrannical plandemic, people used masks who did not want to be identified. Robbers wore masks to rob banks. Now the banks require masks. All for a virus that has a 99.9 percent cure. And the statistics reveal that no more people have died this year than last year! Or the year before! Check it out. It is sad that after eight months so many people are still believing the lying narrative the fake media are using to bring tyranny and a new economic order.

But . . .

GOD WANTS OPEN FACES TO REVEAL HIS GLORY!

THE DEVIL WANTS COVERED FACES TO HIDE GOD’S IMAGE!

If you belong to the kingdom of God, don’t hide our light (Matthew 5:14-16). Let the light of Jesus shine from your face wherever you go This is how you glorify God.

Shine in your home and wherever you go today,

Many blessings from Nancy Campbell

IT’S NECESSARY

Do you remember when Joseph and Mary and the family traveled to Jerusalem for the Passover feast? Jesus was only 12 years old at the time. At the end of the first day of their homeward journey, they could not find Jesus They thought he was with friends and family, but when they couldn’t find him, they realized he was missing. They had to return to Jerusalem and after three agonizing days of searching they found him.

Where was he? In the temple “sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions."

Mary was very upset and scolded him. Jesus answered: “Didn’t you know that I MUST BE in my Father’s house?” (Luke 2:49 NET).

The Passion translation says: “Didn’t you know that it was NECESSARY for me to be here in my Father’s house, consumed with him?”

Jesus understood how necessary it was to be in His Father’s house. It is also necessary for our children. I believe that as parents we have a responsibility to make sure we take our children to the house of God. It is a habit we must establish in their lives. It was Jesus’ habit. Luke 4:16 tells us that Jesus went into the synagogue on the sabbath day “as was his custom.” It wasn’t something He did when he felt inclined. It was His habit.

It should be the habit of our lives and consequently become the habit of our children’s lives. We don’t meet with the people of God when it fits in with our plans. We do it because that is what God wants us to do. We show to God, and to our children, what place He has in our lives by our commitment to the gathering of God’s people.

There are too many excuses today. People go to church if they feel inclined, but if anything else is happening, that takes first place. I believe it is time for a renewal of the godly attribute of commitment. Commitment to marriage. Commitment to motherhood. Commitment to meeting with God’s people. Commitment to the duties of life. Sadly, many have forgotten the word “commitment.”

I remember reading about the early settlers of New Zealand. When they came to an area to settle, they would first build a church where they could all meet together—before they even built their homes! Such was their commitment to God.

May we be families who “rain, hail, or snow,” viruses, lockdowns, or persecution, can be counted on to weekly meet with fellow believers.

Blessings to you today,

Nancy Campbell

IN THE PERFECT WILL OF GOD...

OutWill Dear mother in the home,

Sometimes you wonder what you are accomplishing as you are daily in the home with all your little ones. You think of all the things you could be doing outside the home. But I want to encourage you today that you are in the PERFECT WILL OF GOD right where you are.

When God gives you a little baby and gradually adds to your family He doesn’t give you your children to give to someone else to raise. He gives them to YOU! You are in God’s perfect will. He created you for this great career. Embrace it and live in the joy and the fullness of it today.

IT’S A WORLD CHANGER

WorldChanger A thankful attitude changes our world. It changes our attitude toward our husbands. It changes our way of thinking toward our children. It changes how we view our homes. It determines whether we live in enjoyment or misery. It truly is a world-changer.

Here is a little comment from Charles Spurgeon on a little Scripture with only three words:
~ Nancy

“Be ye thankful” (Colossians 3:15).
“When you are grumbling at your plain food, put this as a sandwich between your bread and butter, “Be thankful.”

When you are complaining of the east wind, just try if you cannot spell this little sentence, “Be thankful.”

When you are murmuring about those sharp pains and that long sickness, this is the kind of tune for the little bird to whistle at your window, “Be thankful.”

We have all much for which we should be thankful, however sad we may think our lot to be. Look on the bright side, rejoice in God: “Be thankful.”
~ Charles Spurgeon
