Some Intro Reflection:
Sharing The Miracles Of The Christmas Season!
Treasure Devotionals From Hanukkah & Advent*

1 Peter 3:15
21st Century King James Version
“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and be ready always to give an answer to every man who asketh you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.”

God Bless you my friends and family,
 As we all know, this has been probably the most mind blowing year literally for the whole globe. I can tell you, even though God began preparing me in the “Secret Place of Devotion” a few years ago, I still wasn’t able to grasp or imagine what these days would actually look like until now. However; I do know for sure that our awesome God got a glorious plan in the midst of it all. We have the goods, we have the treasures of hope!
Please listen! Time is urgent! God is, and has been calling His people and humanity to be ready. Also, as His Body, the Church ought to be so ready to partner with the Master like never before, because many need divine answers of hope (1 Peter 3:15). Experience, even before the pandemic, has taught me that Christmas has a miraculous way of opening up people’s hearts to the hope of good news, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So my purpose for sharing devotions are these. 1. To serve as a reminder to be ready 2. To help others be ready 3. To know and grab hold of the hope we have in us according to the Word of God, and to 4. Boldly proclaim and live out with a celebrating heart this glorious hope that we have. 
Below are some areas that I will be seeking Rhema understanding during this time. Be encouraged, God will be seen in this season. He is coming by the fulfillment of His Word and promises, and soon and very soon, Imminently! Be blessed and thank you in advance for your prayers.

Be Safe, Be Wise, Be Guided By HIs Love,
God Bless!

Background
What Is Advent? History & Meaning
“For many Christians unfamiliar with the liturgical year, there may be some confusion surrounding the meaning of the Advent season. Some people may know that the Advent season focuses on expectation and think that it serves as an anticipation of Christ’s birth in the season leading up to Christmas. This is part of the story, but there’s more to Advent.
The word “Advent” is derived from the Latin word adventus, meaning “coming,” which is a translation of the Greek word parousia. Scholars believe that during the 4th and 5th centuries in Spain and Gaul, Advent was a season of preparation for the baptism of new Christians at the January feast of Epiphany, the celebration of God’s incarnation represented by the visit of the Magi to the baby Jesus (Matthew 2:1), his baptism in the Jordan River by John the Baptist (John 1:29), and his first miracle at Cana (John 2:1). During this season of preparation, Christians would spend 40 days in penance, prayer, and fasting to prepare for this celebration; originally, there was little connection between Advent and Christmas.
By the 6th century, however, Roman Christians had tied Advent to the coming of Christ. But the “coming” they had in mind was not Christ’s first coming in the manger in Bethlehem, but his second coming in the clouds as the judge of the world. It was not until the Middle Ages that the Advent season was explicitly linked to Christ’s first coming at Christmas” (https://www.christianity.com/christian-life/christmas/what-is-advent.html).
