The year 2014 and beyond will be a Year of Double Portion of Grace for some and others it will be a Year of Unlimited Grace, Blessing and Anointing. It will be a Year of Acceleration and Manifestation - a Year that Every Grace, and Anointing that was upon the generations of old come together with the latter days anointing that God is pouring out today. It’s His Set Time for Grace to Abound – It’s the Set time for His Church to Reign in Life. Get ready for many have experienced an Awakening by the Spirit of God to the Grace that has been foretold by the prophets of old. This mystery of grace unveil for us to taste His goodness.

Do you know we are living in the 11th hour now?? YES! God is saying at the 11th hour I am going to be so generous and I am going to give and give and give. Can you go too far with Grace! (SEE article) Have we touch grace yet? Grace is like an ocean! And we are just playing around the beach and swimming! And we are so satisfied! THERE IS MORE TO COME DON’T LIMIT GOD NOW! GOD IS ABLE TO DO EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY AND BEYOND WHAT WE ASK OR THINK? THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON LET US RECALL THE BIRTH OF JESUS.

Firstly, The Cradle was empty, because Jesus had to grow up a righteous
man fulfilling the prophecies of the Messiah, and take our sins on Himself, that we might be made the righteousness of God.

A beautifully told story, that Jesus' mission is revealed to us, in how He came to us - in poverty and humiliation. Our God is revealed to us by coming in the lowliest of possible places. Jesus came here to bring us light in the midst of darkness, poverty, rejection, emptiness, sinfulness that the world experienced. Jesus reminds us of where he comes and who we are. We are the people who walked in darkness before. We are people who experienced parts of our lives as dry and unwelcoming as that hay before.

The word "manger" from the Latin (and so French, Italian, Spanish) root, which means simply "to eat." Jesus comes into the greatest place of our poverty, not only to be with us but to nourish us. The manger can be the place we go this Christmas to be fed with the acceptance, love, and peace we need. There is no place of darkness in which we need ever feel alone. There is no situation, no loss, no tragedy that need ever leave us empty. There is no sin, no matter how big or small that will ever leave us apart from God's love. Jesus came to save and forgive us.

Secondly, The Cross was empty, because when He said, "It is finished", it was and He died. Now the holiness of God refused to condemn the believer. It was God's holiness that punished Jesus at the Cross. Jesus paid everything in full and His sacrifice was perfect. His blood took away our guilt and condemnation. And Jesus left the cross and went to be with the Father in spirit. The cross was empty he paid it all. I could not pay for my sins but Jesus paid it all.
At the cross He took my past, present and future sins and wiped them off. And He said “I will remember them no more”. Notice He said “no more” in Hebrew 8:12 not “some more”. The devil want us to remember some more sin and “dig out” some more. Even some believers want us to believe that we sinned and some “unpardonable sin”, but God says what He says “I will remember your sins NO MORE, NO MORE, NO MORE!” WHEW! That doesn't mean this will give you a license to sin.

Thirdly, The Tomb was empty because death could not hold Jesus, and He is risen, and is seated at the right hand of the Father in heaven, making intercession for us, and yet amazingly dwells in His children, "Christ in you, the hope of glory". Your are the Temple of Glory and your are the Temple of Grace! The Temple of the Living God and Christ lives in you!

Friends, the womb was empty, the tomb was empty, the cross and the cradle were empty but there is one place God is alive in His fullness God lives inside us. There is one place Christ is not leaving and not empty. “Christ in you, the hope of glory” His glory fills your body and mine! We have the most powerful substance that exists on this planet - THE GLORY OF GOD. "THE GLORY WHICH THOU GAVEST ME I HAVE GIVEN THEM THAT THEY MAY BE ONE, EVEN AS WE ARE ONE." God's glory is the most powerful substance that is in the earth now because we are going to be part of His Glorious Church.

The Womb, the Cradle, the Cross and the Tomb are all empty, that we might be filled with His Glory, Life, Grace and Power to rule and reign in this life. In Him we live and move!
Merry and Blessed Christmas! May this Christmas be a glorious and blessed one for you and your love ones.
