12/13/2018 —
Our pastor has declared and decreed that WHC will experience profound and dynamic miracles in 2019, the seeds of which are being planted even now, before the new year begins.
What’s required for a miracle to be birthed in your life in the next year? We have an example in Scripture as a model: Mary, the mother of Jesus. She was pure, accepting of God’s assignment on her life and eager to do His will. We can do no less if we hope for God to birth a miracle through our lives.
EDUCATION
Luke 1:26-56
“During the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, the angel Gabriel was sent from God’s presence to an unmarried girl named Mary, living in Nazareth, a village in Galilee. She was engaged to a man named Joseph, a true descendant of King David. Gabriel appeared to her and said, 'Grace to you, young woman, for the Lord is with you and so you are anointed with great favor.'
"Mary was deeply troubled over the words of the angel and bewildered over what this may mean for her. But the angel reassured her, saying, 'Do not yield to your fear, Mary, for the Lord has found delight in you and has chosen to surprise you with a wonderful gift. You will become pregnant with a baby boy, and you are to name him Jesus. He will be supreme and will be known as the Son of the Highest. And the Lord God will enthrone him as King on his ancestor David’s throne. He will reign as King of Israel forever, and his reign will have no limit.'
"Mary said, 'But how could this happen? I am still a virgin!'
"Gabriel answered, 'The Spirit of Holiness will fall upon you and almighty God will spread his shadow of power over you in a cloud of glory! This is why the child born to you will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God. What’s more, your aged aunt, Elizabeth, has also become pregnant with a son. The “barren one” is now in her sixth month. Not one promise from God is empty of power, for nothing is impossible with God!'
"Then Mary responded, saying, 'This is amazing! I will be a mother for the Lord! As his servant, I accept whatever he has for me. May everything you have told me come to pass.’ And the angel left her.
"Afterward, Mary arose and hurried off to the hill country of Judea, to the village where Zechariah and Elizabeth lived. Arriving at their home, Mary entered the house and greeted Elizabeth. At the moment she heard Mary’s voice, the baby within Elizabeth’s womb jumped and kicked. And suddenly, Elizabeth was filled to overflowing with the Holy Spirit! With a loud voice she prophesied with power:
“'Mary! You are a woman given the highest favor
and privilege above all others.
For your child is destined to bring God great delight.'
"'How did I deserve such a remarkable honor
to have the mother of my Lord come and visit me?
"'The moment you came in the door and greeted me,
my baby danced inside me with ecstatic joy!
"'Great favor is upon you, for you have believed
every word spoken to you from the Lord.'
"And Mary sang this song:
'My soul is ecstatic, overflowing with praises to God!
"'My spirit bursts with joy over my life-giving God!
"'For he set his tender gaze upon me, his lowly servant girl.
And from here on, everyone will know
that I have been favored and blessed.
"'The Mighty One has worked a mighty miracle for me;
holy is his name!
"'Mercy kisses all his godly lovers,
from one generation to the next.
"'Mighty power flows from him
to scatter all those who walk in pride.
"'Powerful princes he tears from their thrones
and he lifts up the lowly to take their place.
"'Those who hunger for him will always be filled,
but the smug and self-satisfied he will send away empty.
"'Because he can never forget to show mercy,
he has helped his chosen servant, Israel,
"'Keeping his promises to Abraham[al]
and to his descendants forever.'
"Before going home, Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months" (TPT).
Psalm 119:165
“There is such a great peace and well-being that comes to the lovers of your word, and they will never be offended” (TPT).
APPLICATION
- Divine favor is your covenant right! But you need to be properly aligned with Jesus Christ and His Church to receive it. When you are, God will bless you with creative ideas and the means to use them to bring you prosperity.
- A virgin womb will birth a miracle. But a womb that has been fouled with sin and an unrepentant spirit cannot birth a miracle.
- Mary was engaged; she was waiting for her marriage to Joseph, and she was remaining pure during that time. That’s why God could use her to give birth to His Son. Similarly, you will be blessed during the times when you are waiting expectantly for Him to move in your life.
- You will find favor when you find a Word for your life. Immerse yourself in the Word instead of on social media or other entertainment and watch God move in your life!
IMPARTATION
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for the work You are doing in my life. I want more than anything to be a vessel of Your love and Your grace to the people in my circle of influence. Work miracles through me so improbable and miraculous that You are the only explanation for them!
Create a pure heart and a repentant spirit in me, Heavenly Father, so I may become pregnant with a miracle that births in the coming year. I trust You to order my steps so that it may come to pass, and I will give You the glory for it.
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ – Jehovah Joshua Messiah – I pray. Amen!
