June 29: Finally!!! Something happy!!!
Isaiah 7, 8, and 9
Isaiah 7:14-15
Amplified Bible (AMP)
14 Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: Behold, the young woman who is unmarried and a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel [God with us].
Isaiah 9:2-7
Amplified Bible (AMP)
2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great Light; those who dwelt in the land of intense darkness and the shadow of death, upon them has the Light shined.
3 You [O Lord] have multiplied the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before You like the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil [of battle].
4 For the yoke of [Israel’s] burden, and the staff or rod for [goading] their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor, You have broken as in the day of [Gideon with] Midian.
5 For every [tramping] warrior’s war boots and all his armor in the battle tumult and every garment rolled in blood shall be burned as fuel for the fire.
6 For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father [of Eternity], Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of His government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from the [latter] time forth, even forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
Do you think I ENJOY writing these words of gloom and doom? Not at all. I actually dread posting the negative words. But it's right in the Bible! And so many times we ignore the negative parts and choose to focus only on the happy parts.
Well today, folks, I am all about good news! Here are only a few of the prophesies concerning Jesus.

"Dear Jesus thank You for the happy news of Your coming. In the midst of so much sadness which came upon Your people as a direct result of them turning completely away from You. You are so amazing, O God. To leave Your throne, come down as a helpless baby, and sacrifice Your life for all humanity. I will praise and worship You forever and ever! I finally get it O God. If I praise and thank You constantly here on earth, all that will happen is one day I will just move up a little higher and continue praising for all eternity. Oh How I Love You!"
