The Gospel of Matthew Chapter 1 V- 18 through 24

18 Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. When his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found with child through the holy Spirit. 19 Joseph her husband, since he was a righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to shame, decided to divorce her quietly. 20 Such was his intention when, behold, the angel of the Lord* appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is through the holy Spirit that this child has been conceived in her. 21 She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,” which means “God is with us.” 24 When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took his wife into his home.

Matthew 1:18-24 recounts the miraculous conception of Jesus Christ and the obedience of Joseph, who received divine guidance through a dream. In this passage, we see how the Lord communicates with His faithful servants, guiding them to fulfill His purpose. Joseph, faced with an unexpected situation, chose to obey the angel’s message delivered in his dream. His willingness to act on this revelation not only demonstrated his faith but also played a crucial role in God’s redemptive plan for humanity.

Dreams are often a means through which the Lord speaks to us, revealing His will and directing our paths. When we pay attention to these divine messages, we open ourselves up to the truth of salvation and the transformative power of God’s love. Just as Joseph obeyed the command to take Mary as his wife and raise Jesus, we too must follow the guidance we receive, even when it seems challenging or unconventional.

Reflecting on my own journey, there was a moment when I felt compelled to run for Congress after a significant dream. This experience opened my eyes to the intricate workings of politics, revealing the discontent and division that often plague our systems. With 6,663 votes as an Independent, I witnessed firsthand how deeply entrenched the forces of darkness can be in societal structures. Yet, I hold fast to the truth that while Satan may have a grip on politics, the Trinity offers a path to salvation and peace.

In obedience to God’s call, we can be instruments of His truth, shining light in places shrouded in darkness. May we always seek His guidance, trusting that through our obedience, the message of salvation can reach all corners of the world. Amen.

Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. The Lord’s Prayer.

At the Savior's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.

I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen Son in Law Mark Stern; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. We pray for Holy Mother Church. Our prayers for our niece Brittany. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

Ephesians 6:17-20

12-18-2024 Matthew 1 v1824

**He did as the Angel of the Lord Commanded**

In quiet dreams where angels tread,

A message sent from heaven's bed,

To Joseph's heart, in night’s embrace,

A call to love, a holy grace.

“Fear not,” the voice from darkness spoke,

“Your doubts shall fade, your heart unbroke.

For Mary bears the Savior true,

A gift of light, a life anew.”

With trembling hands, he took the word,

The whisper soft, yet boldly heard.

In faith, he walked where shadows loom,

To nurture hope, dispel the gloom.

Oh, humble man of righteous heart,

With courage strong, you played your part.

Through dreams, the Lord’s sweet truths unfold,

As ancient prophecies are eternally told.

A child shall come, the world to save,

In swaddling cloth, the meek and brave.

Emmanuel, God’s presence near,

In every heart, dispelling fear.

So let us heed the dreams we find,

And follow where the Spirit’s kind.

For in obedience, souls can soar,

And share His love forevermore.

Through trials faced, His peace we hold,

In every story, His grace unfolds.

With hearts aligned, we seek His way,

In dreams, in truth, we choose to stay. Amen.
