We never see in scripture Jesus calling Mary “mother”. He never called her mother, but woman. So why should we call Mary something Jesus did not? According to Jewish Custom it was the expectation of the firstborn to care for the welfare of his widowed mother. Jesus chose to...

My Christmas Message to the Peacemakers! Dear Family, Merry Christmas! At Christmas, we remember that Jesus, in all his glory, was born into a world that desperately needed him, but was not ready for him. He wasn’t born into comfort or safety. He was born into a dark and uncertain moment in history. The manger has become a symbol of peace, but in reality, it reflected how little room the world had for God’s son. His arrival was not met with understanding and love, but with fear, rejection, and a search for shelter. And yet, even then, heaven did not retreat. Jesus did not retreat. Jesus came not because the world was ready, but because Heaven could not wait any longer. He came knowing what it might cost. He came willing to go to the ends of the earth to save us. Even when he was misunderstood, even when led toward suffering, even when his path narrowed towards certain death, he did not hold back. He came to fulfill the dream of God, and he was willing to give everything for it. True Father lived with the same determination. He was called at a young age to continue what Jesus longed to fulfill. Father knew the opposition he would face. He knew the price humanity had to pay. And yet he was willing to pay it all himself if he could. He gave everything. He crossed nations, endured prisons, rejection, betrayal, and still never turned back. He longed to fulfill that which Jesus longed to fulfill. He lived his life not for comfort, but for restoration. He did not come to harmonize with the world as it was, but to awaken the world to what it could finally be. And he did all of this with a heart so robust and a smile so bright, that he made us believe it was all truly possible. True Mother has walked the same road. From the time she was a girl, she knew who she was. She accepted her path without complaint. She has stood for God’s dream through every season. Through opposition, loss, misunderstanding, and now, confinement. Not because she seeks sympathy, but because she refuses to abandon Heaven’s hope. Like Jesus. Like Father. She is not looking for acceptance from the world as it is. She is embracing us with the longing heart of a mother. Caressing our wounds to say, "Heaven is here my children. Please have courage. Our Heavenly Parent loves you." She is offering the peace of Heaven. And yet again, the world struggles to receive it. This Christmas, she sits in a prison cell. Not because she has done wrong, but because once again, we do not recognize the one who was sent. But history is not written by the world’s readiness. It is shaped by those who walk into the storm with eyes wide open, and the quiet resolve to carry Heaven’s dream no matter the cost. Jesus was not stopped by rejection. His sacrifice became the cornerstone for the next chapter of God’s providence. True Father was not deterred by resistance. He pushed forward, so that the blessing could be extended to all people. True Mother is not broken by walls or bars. She continues even now to lead, to pray, and to guide us into the next stage of Heaven’s history. Christmas reminds us that God’s work does not pause for ideal circumstances. It breaks through in the midst of darkness. It takes root in humble places. It advances through those who are willing to give everything, even if the world isn’t ready to understand. That is the spirit of Jesus’ birth. That is the spirit of Father’s life. That is the spirit True Mother is showing us now. This is not a time for despair. It is a time to remember why we believe. To remember why we were called. To remember that we are part of something far greater than that which the world can currently see. Many of us will be with our families this Christmas. We should be. Family is at the center of everything we stand for. But let’s also take a moment to remember what this season is truly about. It is not just a memory of a holy birth. It is a reminder that Heaven never stops loving, never stops sending, and never stops calling us to walk that path of devotion. Jesus came with no guarantee he would be received. He came anyway. Father lived with no certainty of success. He never stopped. Mother continues now with no hesitation, even in the face of isolation. They are not waiting for the world to agree. They are living to fulfill God's dream, and it is the world that will have to catch up. That is the spirit we inherit. That is why we keep going. That is why we still believe. Merry Christmas dear family. Merry Christmas. Demian & Family. #GodsDreamOneFamily #Christmas #ReleaseTheMotherOfPeace

For those who don’t believe what I stated earlier, here it is in James’ own words. I encourage you to watch and listen… Here is my brief response: To be clear, it is not mainline Judaism or Christianity, as Jimmy argues, to believe that life begins when a baby takes its first breath. For starters, look at Jeremiah 1:5, Psalm 139, the story of Elizabeth and John the Baptist in the New Testament and, of course, Mary’s pregnancy and the birth of Jesus, among many other examples. Further, contrary to what JT alleges, nowhere in scripture and at no time does God ask for Mary’s consent to carry the Messiah. Mary didnt have a vision from God, as James stated. No, she was visited by the Angel Gabriel, sent from God himself, who told Mary what the plan for her was — that she would be God’s chosen woman to be the fulfillment of prophecy and the mother of the Savior of the world. And though it didn’t make any worldly sense in the moment, Mary immediately accepted her role and righteously viewed God’s appointment and call on her life as a miracle and a blessing. You can read her words verbatim in Luke 1:46-55. Sadly, James doesn’t know what he believes. And to the millions who follow and listen to him, he clearly disregards the clear truth of scripture in order to manipulate God’s word for political purposes. It’s dark and sad and very dangerous… which is why Jesus had very strong words for people like James who bastardize and blaspheme our Holy God and his perfect word. Bottom line - James is treading on dangerous and treacherous ground… and I believe Christians should speak out and call him out accordingly. As for me, I can’t remain silent on it. And I won’t. While I believe James is terrible for Texas and expect voters to resoundingly reject him, I likewise pray that the truth of God’s word and the love and grace Jesus displayed for James on the cross will at some point, hopefully soon, supernaturally save James and change his life — just as it saved me and still changes my life to this day.

Doug Wilson, along with Bruce Ware, both hold the mistaken view that Christians should restrict prayer to the Father alone and never pray directly to Jesus. But this position runs into a serious problem, because Jesus Himself said otherwise. In John 14:13–14, Jesus told His disciples: 13 “Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 “If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it. Notice that Jesus did not say, "Ask only the Father and I will only relay it." He said ask ME, and I WILL do it. Jesus both receives and answers prayer. That is not the role of a mere created being or a subordinate intermediary. That is the role of God. And did the early Christians pray to Jesus? Absolutely! Stephen, while being martyred, called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit” (Acts ), directly addressing Christ in his final moments. The apostle Paul prayed to Jesus pleading with Him about his “thorn in the flesh” (2 Corinthians 12:8–9) Paul pleaded with Jesus three times regarding his thorn in the flesh, and Jesus answered him personally (2 Corinthians 12:8–9) John and the early church lifted up the petition, “Come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation ), a prayer addressed directly to Christ. Those who say that you are not allowed to pray to Jesus are in the same camp as the Jehovah's Witnesses who also forbid prayers to Jesus. Doug Wilson and Bruce Ware are wrong. Jesus is fully God and as God He receives and answer prayers. Years ago I sat through a lecture by Bruce Ware in which he argued that the worship given to Jesus is in some way limited or restricted. It was deeply troubling to hear. I was sitting with an entire row of former Jehovah's Witnesses, and every one of them was equally disturbed. They recognized the argument. They had heard it before, just dressed in different theological clothing. The idea that Jesus, in His eternal state, is somehow deserving of a lesser degree of worship, or that we cannot address Him directly in prayer, is not a humble, cautious position. It is a deviation from both the testimony of the early Christians and the plain teaching of Scripture. The first believers called upon the name of Jesus, prayed to Him, worshipped Him without restraint, and were willing to die rather than deny His full deity. They did not worship a subordinate Christ. When a theological position on the person of Christ makes former Jehovah's Witnesses uncomfortable because it sounds too familiar, that is worth pausing over. It should cause us to ask hard questions about where that road leads and whose company we are keeping doctrinally. Jesus Christ is not a lesser object of worship. He is not off-limits in prayer. He is fully God, co-equal and co-eternal with the Father, and He is worthy of every prayer, every act of worship, and every confession of faith we can offer.
