The Lamb Was Born in Spring, 12/3/18

Dear Friends,

I write to you today on a matter that I believe is of great import. At its core, it has to do with the Body of Christ walking in holiness. I hope to help you, if you are wiling to receive it. I believe our God who loves you so much would have you know what I am about to tell you. In a nutshell it is this. Christmas is entirely occult and cannot be sanctified but needs to be repented from, entirely. It is not the birthday of our Lord Jesus, who was in fact born in the Spring. Christmas is, in fact, totally unclean, it is Nimrod's birthday. Let me point you to the scripture that actually gives us a clue as to when Jesus was actually born:

Luke 2:8

Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.

If we understand some basic facts about the shepherding culture of the Israelite people we can discern from this passage that Jesus was born in the Spring. In the winter the flocks are kept in barns or in caves so that they and the shepherds can keep out of the weather. Imagine how brutal it would be to the shepherds if they had to be out in the open fields, all day and night, in the winter. That would be the case if this was happening in the winter. But there is more. This passage says it was at night that the shepherds with in the fields with the flocks. The reason the shepherds would stay out all night with the flocks in the fields is to watch over the birthing of the lambs, which only happens in the Spring. And Jesus came as the Lamb of God. Doesn't it just make sense that he would be born in the time with all the lambs were being born, in the Spring when life springs forth from death. It has everything to do with the symbolism of Jesus coming as The Lamb.

So this scripture shows us that Jesus was born in the Spring whereas Christmas in the winter. The observation of Jesus' birthday in the Spring would be holy. Christmas however is in the winter and is not the time of Jesus birthday. It is in fact all occult ritual. The yule log is a symbol of human sacrifice. The tree is a phallic symbol, an asherah pole, for worship to Ashteroth, a.k.a.the Queen of Heaven, an ancient mideastern demonic deity. Its use, as is done in the Christmas ritual, is specifically condemned in scripture:

Jeremiah 10:1-5

Idols and the True God

10 Hear the word which the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel.

2 Thus says the Lord:

“Do not learn the way of the Gentiles;

Do not be dismayed at the signs of heaven,

For the Gentiles are dismayed at them.

For the customs of the peoples are futile;

For one cuts a tree from the forest,

The work of the hands of the workman, with the ax.

They decorate it with silver and gold;

They fasten it with nails and hammers

So that it will not topple.

They are upright, like a palm tree,

And they cannot speak;

They must be carried,

Because they cannot go by themselves.

Do not be afraid of them,

For they cannot do evil,

Nor can they do any good.”

This confirms that what we now call Christmas is actually an ancient pagan ritual that long pre-dates the time of Jesus and his birth, which again is in the Spring, not the winter. We need to heed the Word of God on this matter. The star atop the tree is Sirius the dog star, the star of Egyptians that the Egyptians worshiped. Mistletoe, also known as 'Witch's Broom', is also of occult significance. It is is an occult fertility symbol. It is a parasite. The whole Christmas thing is entirely occult. You should know it was instituted by Constantine to infiltrate the church with the occult. There is a wonderful message from an ex-Satanist high priests turned prophet named Stephen Dollins on Youtube. He explains at length.

We cannot sanctify Christmas by pretending that it is Jesus' birthday when it is not. In the past, in his great mercy, God has winked out at our ignorance of the reality of the occult significance of Christmas but I believe he is done doing that. I believe, since he has for years now been raising up prophets to cry out against Christmas, he now requires his people to repent of it. I have done so for years now and will never go back. In my heart I embrace the holy Jewish holiday of Channukah that the same basic time of year. I believe that it is blessed and pure, unlike defiled Christmas. Channukah, also at this time of year, is holy. Christmas is the demonic counterfeit of it that Constantine was seeking to pervert and subvert when he established Christmas.

To be frank, I find it quite disturbing that a men of many years ministry, some claiming to be an apostles and prophets, have been practicing something as evil as Christmas. I am hoping that perhaps some of them have not yet encountered the information I am now giving you. If you knew, and were practicing Christmas anyway, that would be even more disturbing. We are God's people. We are called to be holy, set apart from the world. Friendship with the world is enmity with God. We are called to touch no unclean thing. As a descendant of occultists and a survivor of occult ritual abuse I well know the danger of dabbling in occult-defiled things. I want nothing to do with Christmas and am leery of believers who do. It is my sincere hope that you will take to heart what I have said here and repent of practicing Christmas for good. I hope you will lead those who follow you to do the same. Through my young Indian apostle friend, I have led the 55 churches I help lead in India to stay away from Christmas but to observe Channukah if they want to observe a holiday this time of year.

I have one last thing to say, friends. And I hate to say this. But when I understand that some of you have been practicing Christmas, I am not surprised if you are sick. Am I blaming the practice of Christmas alone? No, I am not. But if you have been practicing Christmas then there is a spirit of compromise in you that is an open door to the enemy that needs to be shut. As a believer, one cannot expect to play with occult things and be well, inside or out. I would love to be wrong about this but I would not be surprised if you do not get up off of your sickbed if you do not remove that spirit of compromise. We serve a holy God and he calls his servants to be holy. There is no place for something as filthy as Christmas in that call. A word to the wise. God bless you, I hope you make it.
