Gifts – He Gave to Us
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace, there will be no end – Isaiah 9:6-7
Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” – Luke 2:10-14
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. – John 1:14
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. – James 1:17
And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. –1 John 5:11
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. – John 3:16
- Father, we are so grateful for the gift of eternal life You have given to us through the gift of Your Son’s life.
- We set aside all fear or anxiety to lift our hearts, our hands, and our voices in glorious worship and thankfulness for the gifts You have given to us. We celebrate Your Life!
- O come let us adore Him, Christ, the Lord.
Now, We Give to Him
Here is an excerpt from a recent video message from Jane Hansen Hoyt.
I find for myself that it's in the release of everything, the opening of my hand and saying to the Lord, none of it’s mine anyway. It's all yours. So, enter into that spirit that comes from heaven, that is humble, open, releasing, freedom, peaceful. That's the atmosphere of heaven. Let's join forces with heaven and walk in heaven's attributes and heaven's spirit, and open up our hands, because nothing that we have is ours anyway. It all belongs to Him.
Lord, we give ourselves. We give our heart. We give any gifts You've given us, any earthly possessions that You've allowed us to have or brought our way. We just yield it all to You, give it to You and say, “Do what You will with this. It's Yours anyway.” We bless Jesus. We bless the Holy Spirit. We bless the work of the Holy Spirit because He is ever working to exalt God in every situation. Amen.

Surrounding the Nations in Prayer
Pray for Israel
Continue to pray for the crisis in Israel. Decisions to navigate these difficult times require wisdom that must come from God.
- Lord, bring healing to Israel. Heal the people and heal the land. Bring comfort to those who are suffering loss, and healing to the injured. Bring peace in the hearts of so many who have suffered trauma. You, oh Lord, are the Healer.
- Pray for justice for Israel. He uncovers deep things out of darkness and brings the shadow of death to light (Job 12:22). It is a joy for the just to do justice, but destruction will come to the workers of iniquity (Proverbs 21:15).
- Pray the forces of evil against Israel are dismantled - both spiritual forces and enemies of Israel. Lord, send myriads of angelic warriors to protect and defend Israel.
- People in Israel have felt isolated and even betrayed since October 7. Pray they are comforted in the Presence of God. Pray the Body of Yeshua worldwide expresses love that can be felt by those in Israel.
- Pray for the followers of Jesus including both Jews and Arabs who are living in Israel. Pray they are strengthened by the power of Holy Spirit to demonstrate the Presence of God in Israel.
- At this time of year when most followers of Jesus celebrate His birth, pray, declare, sing the songs of hope over Israel and the Jewish people.
O come, O come, Immanuel, and ransom captive Israel that mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel shall come to you, O Israel.
O come, O Bright and Morning Star, and bring us comfort from afar!
Dispel the shadows of the night and turn our darkness into light.
O come, O King of nations, bind in one the hearts of all mankind.
Bid all our sad divisions cease and be yourself our King of Peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel shall come to you, O Israel.
Elections Worldwide
2024 is an unprecedented election year. Globally, more voters than ever in history will go to vote in at least 64 countries. Many of these elections will prove consequential for years to come. As the Ecclesia, the legislative assembly of Heaven on earth, this is an important time for us to pray for the fullness of God’s purposes in the nations.

- Local and regional elections are also very important. Pray for those elections closest to you.
- Pray for strength and courage of Believers to hear God’s Heart as they pray for God’s Kingdom to come and His will to be done in their nations.
- Pray that the power of God dismantles any schemes of darkness that might come against fair, honest elections or against any candidates.
- Pray the election process is fair, legal, and free of corruption or manipulation.
- Pray for citizens to discern truth as they consider candidates.
- Pray for election outcomes that bring nations into alignment with the Goodness of God and position nations for a great move of God.
- Pray for newly elected leaders to have an encounter with God that transforms and directs them in the wisdom of God.
- Pray also for key elections in Algeria, Ghana, South Sudan, Croatia that are scheduled in December.
- Note: This may not be a complete list of elections. Please pray for those you know about that are not listed here. God hears the prayer and declarations of His people.

A Note and A Prayer
A Christmas hymn I have loved since childhood is O Little Town of Bethlehem. As a child I could visualize the sweet light of the infant Jesus glowing through the stillness of the night in Bethlehem. That image warmed my little heart and filled me with peace. As an adult who is aware of the chaos, violence, and hopelessness that fills our world, I continue to draw strength from the images in this beloved song. Phrases like, “the hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight” fill my heart with faith that the glory of Christ crushes fear and imparts hope in difficult times. These words from another verse fill me with joy in knowing that Christ is pursuing all who need Him: “No ear may hear His coming, but in this world of sin, where meek souls will receive Him still, the dear Christ enters in.” The last verse washes over me in a renewal of my life in Christ: “Be born in us today . . . O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel!”
Lord, let there be a fresh celebration of Christ rise in the hearts of Aglow sisters and brothers around the world today. As our hearts are warmed with thoughts of Your birth, cause our spirits to be strengthened by Your power. We need Your Presence within us to penetrate the darkness around us and to crush all hopelessness and fear. Lord, as we reach out to friends and loved ones who need you, would you encounter them with Your love and enter their hearts. We lift our hearts together and sing, “O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel!”
God bless you as you pray,
Nancy McDaniel
