Posted : 11 Dec, 2020 01:06 AM What is the real reason people have no Joy of the Lord inside of them and cannot even enjoy Christmas ? God gave the covenant to take away the stony heart out of people, and to give them a soft heart of flesh... Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh: Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. Being stiffnecked (grumpy) means the heart is not circumcised, it means these people resist the Holy Ghost.. Deuteronomy 10:16 Circumcise therefore the forskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked. Acts 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. They harden their hearts, cannot talk openly, or with kindness, because envy is there. They also do not fear God alway, they harden their hearts in sin.. Daniel 5:20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him: Proverbs 21:28 A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly. 29 A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way. Proverbs 14:30 A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones. Proverbs 28:14 Happy is the man that feareth alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief. They also do not care that being often reproved, (they call it you judging them) they shall be destroyed as there is no remedy left.. Proverbs 29:1 He, that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. They are as old kings who can be no more admonished, stiffening their necks in pride, and hardening their hearts from turning to kindness and love, they mock and misuse, and they refuse to see there is no remedy for them also.. Ecclesiastes 4:13 Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished. 2 Chronicles 36:13 And he also rebelled against king Nebuchadnezzar, who had made him swear by God: but he stiffened his neck, and hardened his heart from turning unto the Lord God of Israel. 14 Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, transgressed very much after all the abominations of the heathen; and polluted the house of the Lord which he had hallowed in Jerusalem. 15 And the Lord God of their fathers sent to them by his messengers, rising up betimes, and sending; because he had compassion on his people, and on his dwelling place: 16 But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the Lord arose against his people, till there was no remedy. Of course it is the Lord who decides who He has mercy on, and these others we see are hardened in pride instead. Circumcision is that of the heart, theirs is hardened, it cannot be circumcised.until perfected in charity, put on charity and put on mercies and kindness as the elect of God....... Colossians 3:14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. Colossians 3:12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Romans 9:18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. Romans 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. So the final word why they also show they despise Christmas. Jesus confirms they do not understand with their heart, they are not healed, their heart waxes gross. Many are offended ( they hate being reproved) They hate instead of love, because of their iniquity they have declared they cant stop, and this confirms their love has waxed COLD.. Matthew 13:15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. Matthew 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Posted : 11 Dec, 2020 02:36 AM Once again Adam judges people as though he were GOD Almighty. Adam, pride goes before destruction, and a haughty look before a fall. In your posts you act and talk as though you are the only believer in this life, as you judge and condemn those that are believers in Messiah. Pull the forest from you eyes, then you might see clearly, until then you are blind, self seeking, self rughteous and self centered to be judging people. Post Reply

Posted : 11 Dec, 2020 03:15 AM I know Christians who don't celebrate Christmas, Easter or birthdays that's their choice. It doesn't mean that they are anymore or less filled with the joy of the Lord than say someone who celebrates the opening of an envelope...:-) Post Reply

To use the Scriptures to judge believers in Yahshua, this is not of the Holy Spirit, as the Holy Spirit does not judge those that are in Messiah. Post Reply

Posted : 11 Dec, 2020 06:55 AM Well that covers a lot of people in a lot of different reasons For some it's they've taken their eyes off the Storm Master and onto the storms of life 2020 has been a tough year for a lot of us For others it could be unrepentant sin Christmas time is a tough time for a lot of us we miss our loved ones But that goes with plowing and Hope plowing through it and not looking back Our fleshly nature needs to be crucified daily .... I have been homeless for 2 years haven't seen a shower or a bath in months living in a dead car and panhandle during the day to survive but yet I still have the joy of the Lord not all the time honestly there's times I wish Christ would say come up hither but I'd rather plow in hope and be blessings to others Post Reply

Birthdays also are not the important days to remember, they are Christ being born and Christ dying again to signify us being born in Christ and us dying to the flesh. That is why people who have no joy of the Lord can have any right feelings, thoughts or actions, as the love and affection is missing as told by God.. Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
