   Trailer above for the movie"The Star of Bethlehem" establishes" the The Wise Men" came to Jesus in Bethlehem around December 25th astronomically, mathematically. As the wise men came to celebrate the Birth of The King chosen by God, Their Savior and the Savior of the World on December 25th, so do Christians.

   We have all heard about the 4 and 5 G technology but those won't help you communicate with God or help you have the Best Christmas ever. Only God can do that.

The **10 G's** of Christmas: Genesis, Good, Garden, Gospel of Jesus Christ, Gold, Government, Grace, Giving, Glory
God: Share God;s Good Grace The Gospel of Jesus Christ with your fellowman this Christmas. It's starts in Genesis when God created the Earth and created man God put the earth and man together. It is a symbiotic relationship. If man isn't tending the garden "Man" suffers becomes wild savage, barbaric, sensuous dangerous to his fellowman and the earth suffers becoming wild full of danger.

Jesus came to earth to redeem us from the curse of sin and the suffering that follows. The Wise men brought Jesus, (Mary and Joseph were not poor) "Gold" to establish Jesus Christ as King bringing God's Kingdom to earth. Now the governments of the earth are upon Jesus shoulders For he is the King of Kings, Lord of Lords Angel giving Glory to God in the Highest!

  People fight and argue over Christmas being a pagan Holiday and how the church took this from pagans but can they tell you the essence and purpose of celebrating Jesus Birthday.  
   In the past, not long ago 1950, etc. men KNEW what Christmas meant so they didn't have to dive into the foundation of Christmas. Everyone just KNEW the same truth that comes from God when you are changed from a sinner, a pagan to Saint, child of God. born of God's seed.

Traditional Church practise for Christmas is to have an advent wreath and light candles starting the first part of December. This is to help christains prepare for celebrating and worshiping God on December 25th.
   Some people throw the **Holy Day** right out the window. Some People talk about Santa Claus and reindeer thinking children are not intelligent enough to understanding Jesus being our Savior, that he is a The Greatest King so we  worship God through JesusChrist.
     In order to celebrate Christmas "without doubt", "mentally knowing that it's OK to celebrate. We need to disband the Naysayers.  a person who habitually expresses negative or pessimistic views: Despite a general feeling that things were going well, a few naysayers tried to cast gloom.

Let's start with it is rooted in Paganism.  God reconciled the earth back to himself through Jesus paying the price for our sins by suffering and dying for us.
  Since Jesus died and reconciles the world unto himself every day in which men use to celebrate as pagans, sinners worshiping gods they made up and are only demonic manifestations into the seeing eyes.


 The Gospel of Jesus Christ preached changes men's hearts towards the love of God and Brotherly Love as Jesus Commanded us to "Love God and to Love one another.
The day was always Holy. Satan steals from God, copies God and makes what is Holy unholy.
 
These now "Holy" days
remind men what they were,
what they use to do,
 and how God has changed them.
 
  So on days when men use to live according to the darkness of their hearts full of sin. Jesus Christ redeems these days so their hearts are FULL of the Love and light of God. They still celebrate the day but with "wisdom" that it isn't a pagan holiday but it is now a "Holy Day" clean celebrating the day without sin. Turning to God which makes the day "Holy". 

    The Stars, (see The Star of Bethlehem movie above), were planned when God created the earth. God planned December 25th as a Day each yea for the World to remember Jesus Christ. Christmas is celebrated in every nation.

A day to celebrate what God as done for them saving them from the power of the demonic spirits manifestation.  Now with their seeing eye they can see God, understand there is only one true God who can saved them from Satan's power, sins power over their lives. 








   Now pagans have become Holy,  Children of God, born of God's seed as Jesus was born, conceived by the seed of God. 

Through Christ there are no more pagan holidays. All days become Holy Days. Redeemed from the curse of Adam and Eve.
(side note: Halloween is remember for Martin Luther 95 thesis, Reformation Day. Easter is now the Passover, Jesus death and resurrection)
   It was one man's disobedience to the voice of God thus sin entered into the world that all men came under the power of sin. It is also through one man's obedience that all men  are made free from the power of sin. 
  
God rest Ye Merry Gentlemen Lyrics
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we were gone astray

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we were gone astray
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
In Bethlehem, in Israel
This blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
The which His Mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Fear not then, said the Angel
Let nothing you affright
This day…
   God
had put man with his wife in a Garden, The Garden of Eden to take care of it. Adam and Eve sinned by disobeying God. God cast them out of his precious sight and out of the Glorious Garden of Eden. God also cursed the earth so it brought forth thorns and thistles. Adam and Eve no longer could hear the voice of God. No more  walking and talking to God in this magnificent Garden God had created just for them!
Wait!  God's grace! God had a plan to restore his relationship with his children and to redeem the earth. God chose Abraham to speak to, make a covenant, the sgn netween God and Abraham was circumcision. (covenant means a sacred, holy,  deal, bargain, contract0:  to lead and guide Abraham and his seed to bring forth God's spoken Word and God's plan.
    God promised Abraham that one day he would redeem mankind from "the curse". Until then men could only sacrifice animals and bring their first fruits to God in worship and for the forgiveness of sin.
 
God's Little Acre Urban Farming, (FB group)
   God's plan was to end that covenant  and bring forth a covenant with all men. This way men every where can  enjoy a covenant with God like Abraham had.
   God's plan was to send his only begotten son to earth to pay the price for their sin, which is death. Jesus ended the curse of death that had come on all men.
   




Through Jesus Christ shed blood God restores the earth and his relationship with man. God puts man back into the magnificent glorious Garden.  With God walking and talking with men, men hearing the voice of God again, with the Holy Spirit,  all work is so much easier.  
This is why we celebrate Jesus our King and Savior.

Genesis 2
 
15 Then the Lord God took [d]the man and put him in the garden of Eden to [e]tend and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you[f] shall surely the.
Genesis 3 
22 Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”— 23 therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. 24 So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

Indepedence Day!


  Through Jesus Christ birth the Wise men brought Jesus Gold to establish God's Kingdom. You can not have a kingdom, a Nation or a country without Gold and Silver. Without a Kingdom men will enslave each other.  
   They brought Jesus Frankincense and myrrh for the healing of the nations. Each kingdom, Each  Nation has gold and silver money. 
  Jesus Christ Liberates men from slavery to other men. 
God is now the God of everyone. Men hear the voice of their father God, the Holy Spirit and the voice of our Shepard who is the word of God, Jesus Christ. 
   
God gives each man his own land, farm, garden to tend and care for. 
   The governments of the world are on Jesus Shoulders.
   He is the King of all Kings, the Lord of All Lords. Men are to love God alone, Live by the Laws of God alone,  Hear the voice of God alone and men hold each other accountable to love God and love their fellow man. 
   Governments are established to secure the blessings of God: to own their own land, free from "debt"  to anyone else, (property taxes, or income taxes are a sin against your fellowman, hatred not love). God forms governments under his King Jesus Christ to protect the rights of all to live free from debt to other men. DEBT IS CONTINUOUS SLAVERY
   
1517-2017   500  YEARS
 

    Men are to pay tithe, homage sacrifice to God and him alone in the form of Love, being good to one another, bringing forth good works. Knowing  God has created the earth, land, farming and it is good.It is God's perfect will for all men to be walking in their own Gardens, walking, talking to God. God speaking to them through the Holy Spirit bringing to remember all of the words of Jesus Christ especially loving God with all your heart, soul, and mind, Love your neighbor, brotherly love towards your fellowman. 
 
 No longer are men to enslave others but preach Liberty from slavery,debtedness to others, But looking to God to save them. Crying Abba Father; God save us from sin, from the hands of sinful men. Looking to God who gives all men land and provision off that land. Each man in his own
Garden.
**10 G's** For the Best Christmas Ever

Men are only indebted to love God, please God ONLY! No other man can dictate what others must do to please themselves or others
A duty or obligation to pay money, deliver goods, or render service under an express or implied agreement. One who owes, is a debtor or debitor; one to whom it is owed, is a debtee, creditor, or lender.

The Christmas story.   It is copied here so you can read it some someone!

Luke 2 King James Version (KJV)

2 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.
2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:)
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.

20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

Debunking the lie: Christian Principles = taking from the rich and giving to the poor







After the Truckers Ride for the Constitution and the Vets March to Washington October 11th-13th, 2013 I saw thousands of men who were willing to stand up, speak out and demand a change in our nation. I couldn't be more proud of these men, many of who already fought for our freedom and shouldn't have to be doing it again,                                              
but are. I see valiant men and women doing whatever they can to not sit quietly and will be able to say before God, "I did all I could to save Your country." But I also know that many of us are ill-equipped to answer some of the seemingly rational sounding lies that get thrown up in conversations like the following:


"If you don't want your tax dollars to help the poor then stop saying you want a country based on Christian principles, because you don't."

The "left" here (no pun intended... okay maybe a little) is an image a friend of mine posted on Facebook. How fine those words sound, how righteous and good... and misleading. It causes people to look at themselves- in a matter of seconds- and question their own goodness. "I am a good person. I want to help the poor, I am a Christian, and I want a nation founded on Christian principles just like our founding fathers did... so could I be wrong?" After that short self reflection, you have now begun to believe the lie that Christian principles say that it is Godly to take from one person without their permission and give it to someone less fortunate.



So I realized, someone needs to start getting the answers into the hands of these men and women who are going on the front lines, as it were, standing to retain the integrity of this great nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

The first thing you need to know is that when it comes to finding out exactly what Christian principles are there is only one place that you can go: the Bible. Throughout (from the Old Testament to the New) you find a loving God, but also a just God. You will find that God always fights for the "under-dog" and does often take from wicked people to give to the less fortunate. But wait, did I just say God "took" from someone to give to the poor? Why, yes, yes I did. But what part are we missing class? Anyone know the answer? He took from the wicked, not from people simply because they had more than someone else.

In the book of Mark, chapter 10, starting in verse 17, Jesus has a rich young ruler come to him and ask him what he needed to do to get into heaven. Jesus told him "You know the commandments, ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’”  And he said to Him, “Teacher, I have kept all these things from my youth up.”  Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, “One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” 


The above scripture is what people would like to use to back up the Jimmy Carter quote. But wait, did I miss the part where Jesus actually took the rich young ruler's things, sold them and gave them to the poor? Maybe that's what really happened and it just got left out of scripture... NO- it's not. Jesus understood that you have to give people the choice to do good or not. "So what you're telling me is that all these people in government who want to help the poor so badly have sold everything that they have and given to the poor!? Sweet!" Um, no, they haven't, but they are more than happy to take your money, give to the poor and then have it look like they are the ones personally sacrificing to do so.


Allow me to give you my absolute favorite history lesson. Many of you may not know of one of our greatest presidents, "the honest" Grover Cleveland because he didn't accomplish any huge changes. However, he wasn't out to make any changes, he was out to defend the constitution from those who would try to usurp it.
"Cleveland derived his devotion to limited government from his reverence for the U.S. Constitution. An honest man—an extraordinarily honest man for a politician—he took seriously his oath to “preserve, protect, and defend” that document." Why Grover Cleveland vetoed the Texas Seed Bill


Now, in 1886-1887 Texas had a massively debilitating drought and in early 1887 a bill was proposed that $10,000 be sent down to the farmers in counties that had suffered from the drought. Now, even at the time $10,000 wasn't that much money and the government could have easily sent it without making much of a dent, but Cleveland vetoed the bill. Why? Was he just a mean, selfish, spiteful man who hated farmers? No, listen to what he says, "I can find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution; and I do not believe that the power and duty of the General Government ought to be extended to the relief of individual suffering which is in no manner properly related to the public service or benefit. A prevalent tendency to disregard the limited mission of this power and duty should, I think, be steadily resisted, to the end that the lesson should be constantly enforced that, though the people support the Government, the Government should not support the people."
 

"Wait Michelle, so are you saying he did nothing to help those poor farmers!?" I'm not saying that at all, listen here to what he says next  "The friendliness and charity of our countrymen can always be relied upon to relieve their fellow citizens in misfortune. This has been repeatedly and quite lately demonstrated. Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthens the bonds of a common brotherhood. It is within my personal knowledge that individual aid has, to some extent, already been extended to the sufferers mentioned in this bill. The failure of the proposed appropriation of $10,000 additional, to meet their remaining wants, will not necessarily result in continued distress if the emergency is fully made known to the people of the country." And here is the real kicker! Further, he suggested that if members of Congress really wanted to send seed to the suffering Texans, the congressmen might personally carry out this charitable transfer by using the seed routinely provided to all members for distribution to their constituents (at an expense of $100,000 in that fiscal year). Read Grover Cleveland's Entire Response to the bill here

Whoa, whoa, whoa. He suggested that they  personally give up some of the grain that would go to their constituents who were not suffering from a drought that would have equaled 10x's that of what was needed and would have amounted to everyone giving up less than 10%!? This is what is lacking in government today: the willingness of not only government officials, but the people to give up what they have in order to help others. Now, I understand why the people don't want to give what they have- Why? Because they already gave! They've been taxed to death! But what about the officials, they have no excuse. They actually don't care for the poor as much as they would have you believe. They only care insomuch as being able to have the power and control over who, what, where, when and how your money gets donated. Thus they are
saying that you don't know how to give and that you wouldn't give even if you could because you are inherently selfish. What!? Yes. That is exactly what they are saying. They are saying that the American people would not give on their own if left in charge of their own money, when in fact, the opposite is true. I would like to translate one of the Cleveland quotes from above into layman's terms. When you give federal aid not only does it encourage the expectation of paternal care (which the government was NEVER set up to give) it takes away what he refers to as an indulgence of kindness to give. Which he says "strengthens the bonds of common brotherhood". Meaning, we are stronger, we are closer, we are more firmly knit together as a country when we come together out of the kindness and goodness of our own hearts to give and help those in need, without being forced. 

We don't give out of compulsion, or else it's not a gift at all. And when you take away a man's right to give how he sees fit, you take away the reward that goes along with it: pride and joy. That pride and joy that comes from giving is contagious, it's addicting, it leaves you wanting more. It truly is more blessed to give
than to receive, but it most certainly is not blessed to have something taken from you and given to someone else. Where is the pride in that? 

When I was a child, and my mom asked me to do the dishes, I would do them and she would be happy. But, the times that I chose to do the dishes on my own, without being asked, she was over the moon! That was reward enough for me, and left me wanting to do more without being asked! That is what Christian principles are all about. 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 says, "...whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." And BAM! There you go. The next time someone tries to use the Jimmy Carter quote in your face, you come back with the WORD! That right there is the Christian principle on giving, that is how God would have us give.


I would like to end this with something for you to chew on. We'll call it practical application of what we just learned. We DO need to help the poor, we DO need to help single mothers and take care of the elderly. So if the government doesn't do it, who will? We will! "Okay, I'm all for it, how do we make the change!?" We start by using a phrase that has been thrown around very popularly as of late, "privatization." We have to start by privatizing charity. Charity isn't charity at all if it's funded through stolen money. That is called socialism. I propose an experiment. Take 100 families out of the government taxation system, rich and poor alike, that live in the same locale. The rich don't pay exorbitant taxes and the poor receive NO government handouts. You make each family well aware of the needs of the others and let them know that if they don't personally help out each other, then they will go without needs such as clothing, food, shelter, education etc... Now, I don't have to actually perform this experiment to tell you exactly how this would play out. Sure, you will have a few of the wealthy families who won't care and just be glad to have their own money in their pockets, but most of the wealthier families will see to it that the poor are taken care of. Not only that, but let me tell you what else will happen. Not only will those poor families have food, clothing and shelter, but the rich will take an interest in those families, they will take them to their places of work, be it at an office, or on a family farm and they will help those families get back on their feet so that they don't have to depend on others for help. They will take the single moms into their
families and give them value so that they don't have to seek it from dead beat men. Sure, a few will fall through the cracks, but giving breeds giving! The poor will start helping out other poor people, the elderly will be taken in by their families instead of going to nursing homes. The family unit will be valued again and ALL of this love and giving will lead to one thing and one thing only: Jesus. 

I challenge the American government to implement this experiment, to see if I am correct. But they will not, I will let you in on a little secret as to why: they actually don't want you to be independent. They don't want you freely giving to your fellow man, in charge of your own resources. They want the poor dependent upon them, to keep them "under" them, ill-educated, and unable to stand up against them. They are hungry for power and it's time we took it back. We don't need them to perform this experiment because it's already been done. It's what was done successfully in our country for 150 years until the government slowly stepped in, despite men like Grover Cleveland trying to hold it back, and said, "I am your parent, and I tell you what you can and cannot do." But just as Cleveland said, "the people support the government, not the government the people." We need to remember that we are the parent for the government and WE tell it how they can spend the money that we freely give them. Not money that was stolen from us. We the people support the poor and needy, not the government. Why? Because we are selfish, we actually want that good feeling that comes from giving freely to a single mom out of our own pocket, and they have stolen that good feeling from us! Lets take it back!

Thanks yall!! ~Michelle (P.S. for more on this subject, see Leah's Blog- The government cannot tax you to make you care for the poor.   )
