From the desk of Steve Shultz:
An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord."–Matthew 2:9-11

The Greatest Key You Will Ever Have: His Name is Jesus!
This is the Greatest Key to Your Spirit Life You Will Ever Have!
Jesus is altogether lovely; He saves us, and He keeps us by His power from sin and death.
He has given to us His robe of righteousness. He extends His mercy, longsuffering, lovingkindness, tenderness, healing and compassion.
He is our Shield, our Defender, our Rock, and our Hiding Place.
He is our Provider, Counselor, Great Shepherd, our Friend, who is closer than a brother, and He is our Love. He is the Husbandman, the Keeper of the vineyard. He is the Source of all blessing.
He restores, rescues, forgives and redeems.
He is our Victor, the Captain of Hosts, Mighty in battle. He is our Banner, and our Standard, and He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Jesus is crowned with glory and honor; He is our Savior, Sanctifier, Redeemer, and the merciful and faithful High Priest.
He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. He was dead, but now He is ALIVE forevermore, and He is seated at the right hand of God – it is finished!
He destroyed death and He led captivity captive.
He is the Great Apostle of our faith; He is the Supreme Sacrifice; and the spotless and blameless Lamb.
He is our Anchor and our Strong Tower; our Shield and our Defender; and He was the Ancient of Days before the first day began.
He is the Forerunner, the Firstborn among many brethren. He is the surety of a better testament; He comes from the unchangeable priesthood; and He is able to save to the uttermost.
His Presence doesn't cast any shadow because He is the Light that lights the Heavenly City. He is the Light of the world and the Giver of life.
He is the Door, the Way, and the Truth.
He is the Treasure, the Pearl of great price, and more precious than the finest gold.
He was the Rock of Ages before any mountain peaks were formed.
He was the Bread of life before there was any grain. He was the Lily of the Valley before there were any flowers on the earth.
He is the Eternal Intercessor. He is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, higher than the Heavens; He makes His enemies His footstool, and laughs at His adversaries.
He is the Tree of life; He is consecrated forever, and makes us sanctified forever by His precious Blood.
He is the Minister of the Sanctuary, and He is the Mediator of the New covenant.
He is the High Priest of GOOD THINGS to come; He's the Lion of Judah; and the Lamb that was slain. He is the New and Living Way.
He was born contrary to the laws of birth. He lived contrary to the laws of life. He healed contrary to the laws of medicine.
He was tried and condemned contrary to the laws of justice, and He arose contrary to the laws of death and the grave.
He ascended contrary to the laws of gravity, and He is coming back again contrary to the expectation of the world!
He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is the Great Shepherd of ALL THE SHEEP.
HE IS THE HOLDER OF THE KEYS; HE IS THE AMEN; AND HE IS THE FINAL WORD...
He is qualified to open the Book, and He is the expression of the Heart of the Father.
His love has no limits; His grace has no measure; His power has no boundaries known unto men; out of His infinite riches, He gives and gives and gives again.
He is our nearest Kinsman, and is qualified to redeem us.
He is THE WORD MADE FLESH and the Honey in the rock.
He is high and lifted up; He is the Bright and Morning Star, and the fairest of 10,000.
He is more precious than gold, and He's the glory and lifter of our heads.
He is the righteous Judge; He is a refuge for the oppressed; and He doesn't forget the cry of the humble.
He bore our sorrows and our grief; He was despised and rejected of men; and now He controls the destiny of the nations – the kingdoms of this world are going to become the Kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and forever.
He is our portion and our inheritance; His garments smell of sweet myrrh; and His breath is as sweet apples. He is a very present help in trouble.
He hides us under the shadow His wings and keeps us as the apple of His eye.
He is our High Tower, and He makes the hills shake, the mountains melt, and the Heavens bow.
He pulled back the curtain of eternity and stepped out on the stage of time for one brief moment, and then stepped back again into eternity; but in that one brief moment of time, He sealed the fate of every man and woman and fixed their destiny.
He is the bright Candle in the darkness because He is the Light of life.
He is the Branch, and the Root of Jesse.
HE IS THE GREAT WAVE MAKER FROM GALILEE.
He makes the crooked paths straight and the rough places plain.
He split history and divided the ages.
He is the greatest Teacher the world has ever known, and He is the Baptizer in the Holy Ghost.
He preserves the faithful, and He is the resurrection and the life.
He spoke and framed the world; He makes our way perfect and makes our feet like hinds' feet, and He causes us to walk in high places. He is able to comfort, guide and bless.
He spoke, and the heavens unrolled themselves, and the galaxies were born. He spoke, and the streams and the rivers wound their way across the earth. The rose began to blush, and the violets cast their fragrance, and the birds began to sing. Colors wove themselves into a rainbow. He spoke, and a handful of dust became a living soul.
He turns our mourning into dancing and girds us with gladness.
Let Me Tell You About His Voice
His voice is powerful upon the waters, full of majesty, like thunder, it breaks the cedars, divides the flames, shakes the wilderness, makes the hinds to calve, discovers the forests, and sets the mountains in their place.
His voice stilled the seas and shook the earth and melted the hills.
His voice is as the sound of many waters; He spoke and calmed the storm; He spoke and gave life to the dead, brought healing to the sick, strength to the weak, and forgiveness to the sinner.
Herod could not kill Him. The Pharisees could not confound Him, and satan could not trick Him. Sickness could not withstand Him; devils could not stay near Him; and the waves could not drown Him.
The rabble could not disturb Him; death could not corrupt Him; Hell could not keep Him; and the grave could not contain Him!
Gravitation could not restrain Him, and God has highly exalted Him and given Him a Name above every name, and at His Name every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that He is Lord of all.
He led captivity captive and gave gifts to men; He brought a stream out of a rock, and fed the people in the wilderness; He fed 5,000 with two loaves and a few fishes.
He is Savior to the lost, healing to the sick; He is hearing to the deaf and sight to the blind. He is cleansing to the leper and strength to the weak. He is comfort to the oppressed, hope to the hopeless, and help to the helpless. He is a brother to the friendless, and a friend to the brotherless, and He is LIFE to the dead.
He is infinite, eternal, glorious and full of majesty.
One day in His courts is better than a thousand; wouldn't you rather be a doorkeeper in His house than dwell in the tents of the world?
He is the Covenant Keeper – keeping covenant with covenant breakers.
He is sweeter than all the flowers; He is the Lover of our Soul; and the Keeper of our hearts.
He is music to the poet, and a song to the worshiper. His Name has been whispered by thousands upon thousands of dying soldiers on the battlefields of the ages.
His Name has been the battle cry of those who fought for righteousness and truth.
HE IS THE KING OF ALL KINGS AND EVERY NATION WILL BOW TO HIM....
HIS NAME IS JESUS.
