Celebrate my birth at the right time, make it ABOUT ME ~SEND A HERALD TO RUN WITH IT~
Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Do NOT let a pagan festival-Halloween- take the place of my birthday!!
Joel 2:13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.
Isaiah 40:9 You who bring good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who bring good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do not be afraid; say to the towns of Judah, “Here is your God!”
Put away your pagan festivals and celebrations which are not of me. What have a Christmas tree, Santa or Easter Bunny or Eggs to do with me.
Jeremiah 10:1-4 The Sovereignty of God 1Hear the word that the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2This is what the LORD says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by the signs in the heavens, though the nations themselves are terrified by them. 3For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut down a tree from the forest; it is shaped with a chisel by the hands of a craftsman. 4They adorn it with silver and gold and fasten it with hammer and nails, so that it will not totter.
Put away false god, idol and pagan worship. Be thankful for my death on the cross and celebrate my resurrection
2 Chronicles 31:1 When all this had ended, the Israelites who were there went out to the towns of Judah, smashed the sacred stones and cut down the Asherah poles. They destroyed the high places and the altars throughout Judah and Benjamin and in Ephraim and Manasseh. After they had destroyed all of them, the Israelites returned to their own towns and to their own property.
1 Thessalonians 4:14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
Luke 24:6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: Revelation 5:6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
Celebrate ME and Focus your attentions back ON ME
Isaiah 30:29 You shall have a song As in the night when a holy festival is kept, And gladness of heart as when one goes with a flute, To come into the mountain of the LORD, To the Mighty One of Israel.
Ezekiel 11:19 I will give them an undivided heart and put a new spirit in them; I will remove from them their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh.

Not sure what NLP is? So, they should have talen a STAND wayyy back the. And flipped paganism on it’s head to keep Jesus birth at what it was, now it becomes our duty to get back to it. Did you see the scripture I shared about what the pagans do to the tree. That is where Christmas tree was adopted from.
Lol sis you are missing out on what I am saying and not understanding why they did what they did all those many years ago. They were long term thinkers realizing legalism is not the way to go. They took a huge stand. They used the pegans understanding while implanting Christian themes. It was a blessing. I can't force you to see it though. Please pray on it.
I will talk more about nlp later down the road. :)
