Do not make the Lord's House into a den

Luke 19:45,46 - And he entered into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold, saying unto them, It is written, And my house shall be a house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of robbers.


If we are week in the flesh and keep falling, even a little effort and the Lord will take it along way and bring us out of our weakness. He overlooks our weaknesses and works in us to make us to what He has set as an example in Jesus.

But there are some things which are very dear to the Lord and that is, His Church. His Church is His Body and that Body carries His Name, and at no cost will the Lord allow His Name to be let low.

If we fall and say we fell because of our weaknesses, the Lord understands. But when we fall because of our weaknesses and say the Hand of the Lord was short and He could not help, that angers the Lord.

His Word is dear to Him because anyone pointing that it is not true, points to God as not true and throws dirt on His holiness. God alone is Holy and there is none in all creation in the Heavens or below who is Holy.

Even thou people know that ChristMass (Christmas) has nothing to do with the nativity of Jesus yet people will not hold back on the celebration just because they want to celebrate; relating it to the birth of Jesus is just an excuse.

If we did not know when Jesus was born then we would have had an excuse to celebrate this on any other day. But when the Bible tells us that it was in September that Jesus was born can we have an excuse? What are we doing celebrating His birth in December and that to an the birthday of some Roman sun god?

Even before Jesus was born the birth of Jesus was celebrated because it fell on the Feast of Trumpets. Without the knowledge of the people the Lord had already announced the day of His coming as man through Moses.

If you are celebrating ChristMass on the 25th of December there is no problem provided you are okay with celebrating a Mass. But if we are celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ on that day, we are accusing the Word of God as not true. This Truth has been suppressed by the Church since long just because they want to make the Lord's House into a den of pleasures of the flesh and commerce.

If you know the Truth, do not wait for the Lord to drive you out of His House by continuing this corruption.

The real celebration of birth of Jesus is by celebrating the Feast of Trumpets. A trumpet symbolizes announcing a very important message. This message is a message of His glory in the Heavens and of hope and peace on earth.


[ Prayer Starter ]
Lord, You set all things in place from the foundation of creation when You became a sacrifice for your people. In the time of Moses to wrote in the shadow but through your Spirit which we received through Jesus Christ, You bought this to light. Lord, we are weak in the flesh but let not this flesh destroy us by bringing us into your wrath. Help us Lord to overcome this flesh, harden not our hearts but by your grace deliver us...

This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.
