When the words "Christmas" and "Hallelujah" are in the same title, it must be a good thing. I know it's not December, but a little Christmas in January might be exactly what The Great Physician is ordering for our day. Click the link below and turn your speaker volume up. Your soul will be refreshed.
Thanks Pastor Joseph for the heads-up on this Cloverton song link. It delivered to us all some much needed and wondrously unexpected, "Joy, Joy, Joy" to close out our January and the song even points us towards Easter. Hallelujah, indeed!

I Belong Between The Bread & The Blood
We have now entered that season between Christmas and Easter.
During the Holy Days of the Christmas season, it slowly but surely struck me that Bethlehem is called The House of Bread and Calvary is all about The Blood.
As we live between The Bread and The Blood, let us be in constant Communion with The One Who was born as our Baby King. Yes, and let us be intentional about an ever-increasing intimate relationship with Immanuel, The Lamb Who was once (and for all-time) slain for our sins (but is now Alive forevermore!)
Soon enough we will find ourselves in that celebration season between His glorious Resurrection and His powerful Ascension with the remarkable reality of Pentecost on the horizon.
Lord Jesus, during every season leading up to my faith finally becoming sight -- on that Day when You return for me -- I want to belong to You, and never betray You! I belong between The Bread and The Blood. Amen!

(23b) The Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, took bread, (24) and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me." (25)In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of Me." (26) For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes. (27) Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. (28) A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. (29) For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself. -- 1 Corinthians 18:23b-29 (NIV)
Lord, from Your first cry in Bethlehem's Manger to Your final cry on Calvary's Cross, You have given to me everything necessary to succeed spiritually in every season of life and death! You are so Faithful. Find me ever so...
...Grateful (for Bethlehem's Bread and Calvary's Blood!)

Revival Season: Free From the Devil's Lies
Revival is in Season within our local church and tonight we plan to be re-released on and in this world our Lord's died to save, sharing the Good News of His Resurrection like never before.
This morning this e-mail arrived in my e-box from one of my sisters in the Lord. It's her inspiring testimony as a result of God's healing in her heart during this Sacred Season.
Good Morning, Pastor Kerry:
God is so good! His hand of mercy and forgiveness extends beyond what we think we need forgiveness for and takes us a step further into His loving arms. I feel so totally cleansed and renewed this morning as I was able to kneel at the altar last night and it was like rising up out of the River Jordan with a clean heart. Praise God! There's a soul-cleansing revival ready to take place for the willing heart on a bended knee. I am free, totally free at last. Free from my painful past that was not my fault. Free from my failures. Free from the devil's lies.
As a child spending many years at church camp, one of my favorite campfire songs was "They'll know we are Christians by our Love" because that was one that I could play easily on my guitar for the group. Last night the words of that song opened up in my heart in new ways for me and I will never be able to "just sing it" ever again. We are so totally BLESSED to have such a family of believers in our church, and what an blessing it is to be part of that congregation.
WE ARE ONE IN THE SPIRIT, WE ARE ONE IN THE LORD.
WE ARE ONE IN THE SPIRIT, WE ARE ONE IN THE LORD.
AND WE PRAY THAT ALL UNITY MAY ONE DAY BE RESTORED.
AND THEY'LL KNOW WE ARE CHRISTIANS BY OUR LOVE, BY OUR LOVE.
YES, THEY'LL KNOW WE ARE CHRISTIANS BY OUR LOVE.
WE WILL WORK WITH EACH OTHER, WE WILL WORK SIDE BY SIDE
.....AND WE'LL GUARD EACH MAN'S DIGNITY AND SAVE EACH MAN'S PRIDE.
WE WILL WALK WITH EACH OTHER WE WILL WALK HAND IN HAND
......AND TOGETHER WE'LL SPREAD THE NEWS THAT GOD IS IN OUR LAND!
ALL PRAISE TO THE FATHER FROM WHOM ALL THINGS COME
AND ALL PRAISE TO CHRIST JESUS HIS ONLY SON
AND ALL PRAISE TO THE SPIRIT WHO MAKES US ONE
AND THEY'LL KNOW WE ARE CHRISTIANS BY OUR LOVE, BY OUR LOVE
YES THEY'LL KNOW WE ARE CHRISTIANS BY OUR LOVE.
I can't wait to be re-released knowing that I have the backing, love and support of the Church behind me.
Hallelujah!
"A Daughter of God"
IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.

Our 2010 is Waiting in His Wings
This morning it occurred to me that 2010, yes a new year, is waiting in the wings just before me. I am so glad that my Lord has already been into my future. What comfort and assurance that reality is to my soul. In actuality, our new year is waiting in His wings. Makes my heart sing triumphantly The Hallelujah Chorus!
Let's allow these words of Jesus recorded in Revelation 1:8 to be our strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow: I am the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end, says the Lord God. I am the One Who is, Who always was, and Who is still to come, the Almighty One. (NLT)
ALL... JOY TO YOUR WORLD!

Does My Life Sing & Shout "Hallelujah?"
People who are much smarter than me tell me that there is one well-known word of praise to our Holy God that transcends all cultures and languages -- the word "Hallelujah!"
"Hallelujah" is the Hebrew word for "Praise", "Praise Ye," leading to "Praise Ye the Lord". My earliest recollections of experiencing God as a young child include singing (with great passionionate motions) this familiar praise chorus:
"Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah! Praise Ye the Lord."
The personal question on my mind as a grown man is this:
Does my life sing and shout "Hallelujah" to my Holy God?
I wrote a praise song a few years ago. If you mix all the words together they sing and shout a loud "Hallelujah" to our Holy God.
Here's the chorus portion of the praise song if you want to sing and shout "Hallelujah" along with me and if you play guitar, or play at the guitar like I do, simply choose the chords of G, Em, Am, and D and the tune will likely work itself out as you strum and sing with a childlike heart of wonder-filled worship:
Let us give our praise... to our King of Kings;
Let us give all praise... yes, give Him everything.
Let us give our praise... to our King of Kings;
He is worthy of....... all our worshipping!
ALL JOY!
