“Lift
up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the
King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory.
Selah! ~ Ps 24:9-10
As
we begin to prepare ourselves once more for the Holy Season of our Lord’s
Birth, let us anticipate a glorious awareness of His Presence! The season that
lies just ahead is a miraculous season as we contemplate the conception of our
Lord and Savour Jesus Christ. This is
the season of a Glorious Beginning! There is a call from the Spirit of God
drawing us, filling us with Anticipation, and speaking Peace such as we have
ever known. Yes He, Jesus, is our Peace and it is an indescribable Peace that
comes with the entrance of our Saviour!
Not only is it a great moment of Anticipation, it is also the first
mention of the Holy Ghost power and the impartation of life! The Holy Spirit has been seen on several
occasions in the Old Testament: it was the Spirit of God that moved upon the
waters in the beginning of creation. The Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost is the Creative
Spirit of God. He came into the earth in a most unique way; He came as Jesus
was crucified. Jesus “… commanded His followers that they should not
depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the Promise of the Father, which, saith He ... For John truly baptized
with water; but ye shall be Baptized with the Holy Ghost...” Acts 1:4-5. As we anticipate the Coming
Christ, The Holy Ghost is bound to appear.
Can you image the Anticipation that Joseph felt when the angel came to
him and told him to take Mary as his wife, for that which was “conceived in
her is of the Holy Ghost.” And what
“Anticipation Mary must of felt when the angel delivered the Advent Message to
her: In astonishment she questioned the
Angel how this could be and this was the answer: “The
Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the Power of the Highest shall overshadow
thee: therefore also that Holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be
called the Son of God.” Luke 1:35
Today we continue to anticipate the “Coming of our King!” ‘He is coming in power, O hail the Blessed
hour!’ What a song of Anticipation! One
last thought, the Creative force of God lives in you dear saints! Anticipate
great things as we celebrate the King of Glory! Loving you & praying this
will be a Holy Ghost season for you, Pastor
