Matt. 2: 10
” When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. 11. On coming to the house,
they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they BOWED and WORSHIPED
HIM.”

The presence of JESUS CHRIST…..stopped the star.
The presence of JESUS CHRIST…..stopped the star.

Where ever we are going today….
Our home….
Our car….
Our land….
Our ministry……

When people come near where we are at…….
Would the star stop ?  Would JESUS CHRIST be so with us…
That those that come to where we are, what we are doing….
ARE THEY OVERJOYED ?
ARE THEY DESIRING……the presence of JESUS in us ?

Would the star stop ?    The glory of God……the presence of JESUS….
It truly doesn’t matter what we are doing….
It matters if HE is truly with us.

They saw Mary , but they BOWED AND WORSHIPED ~  JESUS.

Do we desire the people who bring JESUS…..
More than JESUS ?

Oh, I had coffee with so and so…
Oh, I did ministry with…..
Oh,  so and so said this or that……

Do we get that jacked to be with JESUS ?
Does HE go before what we are “doing for Him ?”

Mary , birthed JESUS CHRIST…..she had a MINISTRY….
but ……they seen JESUS more than MARY….
but……they desired JESUS more than MARY…..

Her countenance must of been humility , death to self….
because HIS PRESENCE stopped the star….
because they BOWED and WORSHIPED JESUS…..

They acknowledged she was there….she did her part…..
But she did not take the stage…..she did not over ride WHO JESUS IS….

Today,  this week, this year….
We need to ” do our part”…..HE is in us…we need to take HIM to others…
But we need to be more concerned with HIS PRESENCE……

HIS presence alone…brings salvations, brings healing, brings joy…
” THEY WERE OVER JOYED…..”

When is the last time what ever we did….were people overjoyed ….
with HIS PRESENCE ?

Mary was included…..we are included…..
” but its all about the Baby “……
” but it is all, all about the Baby “……

I pray tonite, as Family Force 5 …sings those exact lyrics…
” but its all about the Baby”….HIS PRESENCE, is in Shawnee Alliance
I pray the star STOPS on Shawnee Rd. and cars just turn in….
people flock, they bow, they worship……

Mary  knew how to play the background…that is why God chose her.
Mary knew to let JESUS CHRIST REIN……..
” out of you will come a ruler who will be
The Shepherd of my people Israel.”…..

What comes out of us ?
What comes out of our home ?
What comes out of our family ?
What comes out of our ministry ?

Stop the Star JESUS…..
Stop the Star ….today where ever we go…..
It is all about YOU, nothing about us……draw them , bring them to YOU.

In the name above every name,   JESUS…
above our own name…..JESUS…..amen.
