Since this is the night before Christmas, and people all around the world are getting ready to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ tomorrow, God wants to be included in your celebration festivities for the birth of His one and only Son, Jesus Christ. God wants to spend time with you and your family as you get ready to prepare your food, as you get ready to open your gifts and as you get ready to laugh, talk and have fun. So prepare the gifts that you have decided to give God this Christmas holiday season so that you can present those gifts to God. Set a place for God. Watch and wait for how, when and in what way He will choose to show up. He is walking among us this Christmas Eve and He will delight in your invitation to come. If there’s a special prayer you’d like to say to God, have it especially ready for Him when He shows up and nudges you to let you know that He has arrived.

For like a whirlwind that needs no introduction, God will make an appearance. His appearance usually manifests in ways that you will know that it is Him. How God chooses to manifest for us will be different for how He chooses to manifest for you, but He will show up and then you will know that He is God and He is walking among us this Christmas holiday season. Having a true and real encounter with our living God will truly change you and revolutionize your life forever, the gift of God’s presence this Christmas may be all you need to heal you, to restore you, to loose you, to promote you, to encourage you or to develop you.When the presence of God comes on any scene, sickness cannot dwell there anymore. Brokenness, cannot stay. Disease has to depart. Evil Spirit’s assignments are canceled. Chains are broken. Depression is lifted. Minds are renewed and regulated. Pasts are erased and all things are made new. Expect God to show up this Christmas eve, the night before Christmas.

You may not have gotten exactly what you wanted this Christmas and you may still be waiting on your travailing prayers to be answered, but if God shows up at your house this Christmas eve and gifts you with His appearance, you can be sure that He will make all things new, and He will work all things out for your good and His greater glory. Maybe God lead us to speak to you about the power of travailing prayers not so that you could get the answers to your prayers but so that you could get something much better – The gift of His eternal presence this Christmas Eve. When God grants His eternal presence in your life and in your circumstances all else works together for good and comes together sweat-less and without effort on your part. Because when invited, God and Jesus together makes the differences needed to make all things work for your good and God’s glory.

Want God to visit you this Christmas Eve? If so, join us in this simple prayer;

Father, humbly I seek your face, your presence and your touch, anxiously expecting you to visit me this Christmas Eve. I do want to invite you to join me as I get ready to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I want and need you and Jesus to help me get my life back on the right track. Infuse your powerful eternal presence in my life and circumstances and make the big and bold differences that only you can. Strengthen me where I am weak. Refresh me where I am tired. Restore me where I am broken. Father, thank you again for Jesus. Thank you again for the magic of Christmas, thank you for all that you do for me on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis to ensure that I have the very best possible life. In return, I want to be the very best that I can be based upon the unique DNA that you have given me. Father, I am desperate for you, desperate for your touch, your help and your guidance, and I will anxiously look for you and wait for you this Christmas Eve! – Amen
