Hey Matthew,

That is so good.  Thank you for sharing it!
With the loss of our two family members this past year, along with our good friend Mert, relationships have become some important to us right now. Could you imagine if everyone spent 100.00 giving to someone else without food or water, how many people could be taken care of.  Christmas shopping alone, when we get out there to do our Christmas shopping, we usually buy something for ourselves first!  Thank you

Matt,

A very well put together short film clip, and definitely food for thought!

I had no idea that world thirst could be solved for so little.  It makes me sad to think that I have spent so much on Christmas that has been wasted and done so little for others.  Thank you for linking this very thought provoking shortie.

11/17/04 - From Jesus Christ, Our Lord - A Letter Given to Timothy, For All Those Who Have Ears to Hear

Timothy, write these words as I bestow them upon you.

Long have men celebrated the ritual of men called now “christmas”. I say this to you, with all manner of authority and righteousness, the name of Christ shall have no word attached to it other than My name given by the Father. I know many say they celebrate this holiday in loving memory of My earthly birth, yet on this day I did not come into the world by way of water and blood, for that day is not written and no other days (dates) recorded of My works. It is only written that I have come and that My works did follow Me. Heed My words. I know, in ignorance, many do celebrate My earthly birth as a beginning of their salvation. Yes, I say, sing and rejoice, as likewise did God’s angels do in that day, for I am the Beginning and the End...I am forever. So I say to you, My birth into the world was not the beginning, for nothing was created that was not created through Me. If it were not so I would have told you.

Assuredly, I say to you, all rituals, given by and from pagans, are abomination. Indeed, all religions, religious rituals and celebrations, not in My name, which glorify not My Father, are abomination.

To worship God the Father, through the Son, is pure worship. Any worship not to the Son, up to the Father, you are in error. And any worship of the Son is to worship the Father.

But, I say in a loud voice, to worship in any way liken unto paganism is ABOMINATION! In the modern age, where, I ask you, is the Christians’ hearts? To worship wholly, and in righteous purity, is to be one with Me in the Spirit. You call to Me, and I come to you, and together we become one in the Holy Spirit, for this is a gift given by the Father, for in His Spirit are all in creation connected and one with Him.

So again, I say, if you celebrate this holiday, I say, woe. I know your heart is in the place of worshipping any and all ways, but how can we be one if your heart and mind go from here to there? Indeed, what do all these things have to do with Me? Why do you decorate the tree? Have I not made it as beautiful as it should be? Why decorate your house? My house has no need of decorations, for in humbleness will your house shine forth. Why do you give gifts in My name? I am He who gives the gift...you only need receive it. In following My ways, you give gifts to Me and to each other and all those around you, for the gifts I bring are forever. What matter these things of the world which will soon pass away? You say all these things are a metaphor and a testament to Me. I say anything coming from the rituals of sin are sin. Do not do it! Instead, do only as the Word of God instructs, for the season of giving is each and every day. And the season of love is indeed every day, every hour, every minute, every moment of life, in Me.

So I say to you, give worldly gifts to each other if you so choose, but do it not as pagans, for this is sin. Instead, give gifts to your loved ones as you see fit to do with love for them and by them. Do it not on the 25th day of December, for this day was put forth by pagans in worship of false gods, which is the breaking of the Father’s first and foremost commandment.

I know your heart, Timothy, you wish to have others know My ways. Then show them by your ways, then My ways will become clear.

I know you love your December holiday, but you must forsake it, for I have called you to a higher calling than those around you. I have called you to Truth and the salvation of men, and to war.

You wish to celebrate My name and My earthly birth...this you already do.

You wish to make festivals for your family to enjoy, do so. Be careful not to do as the pagans and false teachers would have you do. You must be separate from the world, Timothy.

So I say to you, cast away your tree and lights and decorations of this holiday. Instead, celebrate your family and Me in your own way. As you celebrated fall, and not the day of the dead, also do unto the winter holidays.

Yes, teach your children what is written of My earthly birth and the Salvation Day of Men.

Know this, the Salvation Day of Men is four-fold: It was ordained before the foundation of the world, fulfilled at My birth, finished at My death on the cross and solidified eternally upon My resurrection.

Amen!
