"The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel" (which means "God with us") --Matthew 1:23
This is one of the best seasons of the year! A time to focus on the meaning and purpose of Christ’s birth. With the onset of the Advent season (December 1- 24, 2024), as our typical focus during this time of the year, we are providing this resource for all our brothers and sisters embarking on Advent for the first time! This brings us great joy that you will discover Emmanuel in a personal way as you journey through this Advent season. From a time of consecration to an increased time spent in God’s Word, prayer and worship, Advent gives us the avenue to renew our minds and allow our minds to dwell on the incredible gift of salvation through Jesus Christ- who is the source of life and all eternal gifts now and everlasting.
Advent gives us the opportunity to renew our minds as believers and followers of Christ, with the major highlights from the scriptures. Here are ten scriptural examples on how critical our mindset are. Take a look at the connection to renewal, minds, thoughts and more in these scriptures:
Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Psalms 119:11 - Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Ephesians 4:23 - And be renewed in the spirit of your mind.
Colossians 3:2 - Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
John 8:32 - And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Colossians 3:16 - Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Philippians 2:5 - Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Isaiah 40:31 - But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
1 Corinthians 2:16 - For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
The beauty of Advent is that God births something fresh and new in you. This is one of the major reasons we love the Advent season. It gives us the opportunity to prepare our hearts, spirits, souls and lives for the celebration of Christ's birth. As we look forward to the close of 2024, let the beauty of Advent be upon us as the Holy Spirit is poured afresh upon our lives for the glory of God! Have a blessed Advent!
