Glory To God For New Life

I wanted to share with everyone a letter that I received from Pastor Rod Parsley. I feel the spirit of God each time I read it. I hope it will encourage someone else as well.
Dear Angie,
Magnify the Lord with me! This is the season for the name of the Lord to be praised for the wonderful things he has done. This Christmas has filled me with excitement because God is birthing new things. Many carry a seed in them as Mary did so long ago. They are carrying a seed of vision and anticipation sown by the Holy Ghost--and all of this is because of what Jesus has done.
Jesus is the first-born (foremost, the most important one) of all creation. He is the original and all sons and daughters of God should be like Him.
Do you know what Jesus did for you when he came 2000 years ago? Do you know what you have within you? Do you understand that God has given you a vision for a specific purpose? This Christmas, I believe you're going to give birth to that vision!
God has given you a holy future, a holy miracle, a holy healing, a holy dream--because he has called you a child of God. And He has said its time to get out what's inside of you.
Mary couldn't delay the birth of Jesus. She couldn't wait until everything was lined up perfectly. She couldn't wait until she had her own home with all the furnishings.
Jesus had to come at the appointed time because everything that we needed had to be released. And this Christmas, it's true for you--what you need must be released.
God has set the date of your delivery for now. I believe there's new life coming to your finances, to your health, and to your family. He has sent for you . . . NEW LIFE.
You may feel barren, but you're not. Your finances may seem barren, but they're not. Your health may seem barren, but it's a lie. You may feel downcast but you can rejoice instead, for God has sent new life for you through Jesus.
I feel the birthing pangs beginning. Christmas is your time--not just to receive, but to release the gift God has given to you. God has anointed you to give birth to it..
When Jesus came, He came with power through the anointing of God. You have it too. This Christmas unwrap your gift. Cast out depression, oppression and wrong thinking. Embrace what God says is for you.
Listen to David, "Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
And the King of glory shall come in."
This Christmas rejoice in all that Jesus has provided for you. Paul said it best, "Thank God for His Son--a gift too wonderful for words!" 2 Corinthians 9:15
Angie, I'm in agreement with you... that whatever you need is available to you this Christmas in Jesus' name.

Merry Christmas,
Rod Parsley
