God with us

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, 'God with us' (‭Matthew‬ ‭1‬:‭23‬ NKJV). God is with us. He has been with you and I since the day we took our first breath of air. He has not changed. He's been there every step of the way, watching you and I as we played. What a beautiful sight that must've been, our Savior coming into this world to stand with us and to purchase you and I from sin's grasp. Through the ages, kings that were working under the efforts of Satan tried to stop the Lord from being born. Not only did they try with Mary and Joseph, but as seen in scripture, satan spiritually killed the very first man and succeeded. However, God had another plan even before the world was ever established. "And there shall come forth a Rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots". Throughout time, God ever so protected the lineage of our Savior. We can never underestimate the power of our God and the protection He brings to those He calls His children. Satan cannot stop the generations of our Lord Jesus, and he could not stop the blood of Christ at Calvary. Satan could not keep our Lord Jesus in the grave. Death has no authority over Christ. Satan will not and cannot stop us, God's children, from doing the commission our Lord has given unto us. God is with us. God bless you. Amen
