Advent

Did you know that the four weeks before Christmas are often called the Advent season?
The word Advent means ” coming” or “arrival.” The focus of the entire season is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ in His first advent, and also looking forward to the return of King Jesus in his second advent.

Check out this You tube clip. As you do ask the question, “What posture are we to have during this time?”

Did you catch these? Watchfulness, expectation, repentance, preparation, transformation, reconciliation, celebration, hope, joy, FOR WHAT? that God would dwell among us. EMMANUEL, one of Jesus’s names means “God with us.” That God’s Kingdom would come to earth.  Isn’t that what we have talked about and learned more about? 

Pray that you would prepare your hearts to really celebrate Christmas this year. Pray KINGODM COME! YOUR will be done on earth as it is in heaven!
