CHRISTMAS - 3 REACTIONS

THE HEROD REACTION

John 5: 18

Therefore, the Jews sought the more to kill Him, because He not only had broken the Sabbath, but said also that GOD was His Father, making Him equal with GOD.

Behind all the attempts to kill, steal and destroy, is the spirit of Antichrist. People are victims of this demonic spirit if they allow it and the Jews were stirred up to seek to destroy JESUS by that spirit. This spirit of Antichrist works throughout history in the hearts and minds of those who would steal, kill and destroy the work of GOD. It is important to separate the victim from the power behind the deeds. Satan is at work in the minds and hearts of those who yield to hatred; his fruit is destruction of everything of GOD.

The Herod reaction to the Birth of JESUS is a prime example of the seeds of the Antichrist and gives us warning not to allow that seed to take root in us or our society.  When you see the seeds of killing, stealing and destroying manifest, know that it is the seed of Antichrist at work. BIND THAT SEED AND CAST IT OUT IN THE NAME OF JESUS, IT WILL BEAR TERRIBLE FRUIT.
