The Power

Luke 1 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgins name was Mary. And he came to her and said, Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!...And the angel said to her, Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord will give Him the throne of His father, David, and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end. And Mary said to the angel, How will this be, since I am a virgin? And the angel answered her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, therefore the Child to be born will be called Holy-the Son of God.

Mary must have been an extraordinary lady to be chosen to bear and raise the Christ.

You have found favor with God.

The same Holy Spirit that caused a virgin to conceive the Christ child, lives in every believer. The same power that raised the man, Jesus Christ, from the dead resides in your heart. It is that power that enables us to do "all things".

God has favored us all with His presence. Is He speaking to you? Is He calling to you? To the impossible? The unbelievable? A thought so high and a dream so big that unless He gets involved it will never happen? Then relax. God makes a way for anything that is His will.

A virgin conceives. The dead are raised. A heart is changed. As the world looks on and rejoices.

Do not be afraid...You have found favor with God...How can this be? The Holy Spirit will come upon you...the power of the Most High will overshadow you.

That power lies within you. If you are His. Be of good cheer. Rejoice. Live with abandon. In Him.

Be of good cheer, little flock. It is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom!!!

Lord, I love you. Thank you for sending your Holy Spirit to dwell inside of us. You are sooo good and we are amazed. To You, Father. All that we have. All that we are. See us Lord and be pleased.
