🌿And He Shall Be Called…
✨GOOD BLESSED ENCOURAGING MONDAYS, FAMILY, FRIENDS, & NEW ENCOURAGERS!
I pray this message finds your heart settled, your spirit strengthened, and your mind resting in the perfect peace of God as we enter this sacred Christmas week — the week we remember the Gift that changed everything! 🎁
Today’s message is rooted in one of the most powerful prophecies ever spoken about our Savior:
📖SCRIPTURE READING
Isaiah 9:6 (NLT)
For a child is born to us,
a son is given to us.
The government will rest on his shoulders.
And he will be called:
Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,
Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace.
💛TODAY’S ENCOURAGEMENT — “His Name Shall Be Called…”
This verse is not merely a Christmas reading —
it is a revelation of who Jesus is to you…
right now…
right where you are.
Each name is a door into His character, His nearness, and His love:
✨WONDERFUL COUNSELOR — He guides you
When you don’t know what to do…
when decisions feel heavy…
when emotions feel tangled…
He steps in gently with wisdom that brings clarity, peace, and direction.
He leads with tenderness.
He counsels with truth.
He whispers to your spirit:
“Walk with Me. I will show you the way.”
✨MIGHTY GOD — He fights for you
Not one battle you face is bigger than His power.
Not one storm is stronger than His Word.
This week, rest in this truth:
You are not carrying anything alone.
His strength fills the places where yours runs out.
✨EVERLASTING FATHER — He loves you continually
When people shift…
when seasons change…
when life feels uncertain…
He remains steady, present, faithful, and devoted.
He is not distant.
✨is not inconsistent.
He is the Father who stays —
the Father who knows —
the Father who cares.
✨PRINCE OF PEACE — He quiets your soul
Christmas can be noisy — mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
But His presence brings a peace that cannot be shaken or stolen.
His peace guards your heart.
His peace settles your thoughts.
His peace becomes your resting place.
📖TODAY’S FINAL WORD
As we walk through this week, may your spirit breathe in these truths:
His wisdom goes before you.
His strength surrounds you.
His love holds you.
His peace calms you.
And as you prepare your heart for Christmas, remember:
The Savior was born to you.
The Son was given for you.
His names are not just titles —
they are promises, active in your life today.
🙏🏼TODAY’S PRAYER
Lord, thank You for sending us Your Son —
our Wonderful Counselor,
our Mighty God,
our Everlasting Father,
our Prince of Peace.
Bring our hearts into alignment with who You are.
Fill us with Your wisdom.
Strengthen us with Your presence.
Surround us with Your peace.
Let this week be a gentle reminder that You are with us,
for us, and working through us.
We praise and we pray in Jesus’s holy and majestic name — Amen.
