TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:

MICAH 5:2 - But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days.

MATTHEW 2:1-6 - Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” 3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; 4 and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. 5 They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: 6 “‘And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’”

0:00.0	Hey friends, how important right now is the place where you were born? I mean the city, the town.
0:11.9	For many of us, the place we were actually born really doesn't have a lot to do with our everyday life.
0:18.0	But today, looking at the messianic prophecies that foretold the coming of Jesus,
0:22.7	we're going to see that where he was born was of massive importance, even though the place
0:28.9	wasn't. Hey friends, welcome to the morning mindset. We are here to get our minds aligned with the
0:34.1	truth of God's word. And one of the things that we offer as part of the Morning Mindset publication is on Fridays,
0:40.8	we have a Pray Together episode, which means people like you are able to submit their prayer
0:47.0	requests for me to pray for on an additional podcast episode so that others who are listening
0:53.2	can join me in prayer and literally
0:55.5	thousands of us can lift your request to the father who sits on his throne. So I encourage you.
1:02.9	If you have a prayer request, you have a need this holiday season that you would like us to be

1:19.8	Jesus was born and why it's so important. But before we do, let's pray together. Our Father, we ask you to teach us. We need you to
1:31.1	lay out for us very clearly why this issue matters and show us through the fulfillment of this
1:38.4	prophecy. How powerful and sovereign and in control of everything you are.
1:46.0	We ask it in Jesus' name. Amen.
1:48.9	Okay, friends, if you have a Bible, get it out.
1:51.4	We're going to be looking at two passages today, one in the Old Testament, one in the New Testament.
1:56.8	First of all, we're going to look at Micah chapter 5, verse number two.
2:01.0	Now, let me set up the scene for you here.
2:03.3	Micah is a prophet who is speaking to the people of God who have gone astray.
