Upon arriving in Jerusalem, they asked where He was to be born. The wise men who came to worship Jesus had known of the prophecy in Numbers 24:17, that a Star would appear and lead them to this King of the Jews. After Jesus’ birth wise men from the east arrived in Jerusalem.Ģ They asked, “Where is the one who was born to be the king of the Jews? We saw his star rising and have come to worship him.” So receive all He is through relationship with Him, for our King has come!ġ Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea when Herod was king. It includes health, prosperity, safety, and harmony with God. If you draw near to Him, He will always draw near to you. God said He will never leave you nor forsake you, you can always count on Him. When you walk by faith with your God neither will you. The word refers to a warrior, a champion.
James tells us if you lack true understanding of anything, ask of God in faith and you will receive. There is nothing you will face in this life that God cannot give you the answer to.

Once we have been born again that door is open, we can now step into relationship with God, and through our relationship with Him, receive all He has to offer us. Isaiah describes this in the above verse, for who He is, we now have access to. In providing a way for us to come back into relationship with God, He has also reunited us with the very nature of our God. The birth of our Savior provided for the rebirth of the human spirit, and in doing so made the way for man to be reunited with God. The government will rest on his shoulders.

Every time the devil tempted Jesus to take advantage of His life He declared the Word of God. How do we cast thoughts down? With the sword of the Spirit, which is the spoken Word of God. To win this battle you have to take every thought that would lead you away from God’s peace, love, joy, and all the fruits of the spirit, and cast those thoughts down. Our primary weapons are the Words of God. That is why the above scripture teaches us there is a battle for our mind, but we have powerful weapons that will work if we use them.
