Greetings!
But,... I AM A VIRGIN!
Recently, the Holy Spirit revealed a nugget from Luke 1:34 NLT-Mary asked the angel, "But how can I have a baby? I am a virgin."
The Lord through the Angel in v.31 had told Mary: You will become pregnant and have a son, and you are to name Him Jesus.
To Mary this would be impossible because of her "Current Status". She was a virgin, not yet fully married to Joseph, and here was the Lord proclaiming she would bring forth a son "In Her Current Virgin Status".
But the Great God, who dared to proclaim such an "Impossible Promise" to Mary, already had the solution in hand.

But,... I AM A VIRGIN!
V.35a reveals how God would manifest the impossible to become possible: NLT- The angel replied, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
The word overshadow means "to cover with a cloud," like the cloud of Shekinah glory (Exodus 16:10, 19:9), or the cloud of The Transfiguration (Matthew 17:5). This cloud is a visible manifestation of the glory and presence of God meaning that the same power of God that was with Moses and others in the Old Testament was now going to do a unique work in the life of Mary.
Daddy-God is totally aware of what He is proclaiming even when it appears "NO WAY" can "THAT" happen in our lives!
He is assured of who He is and what He can do and desires that His children come to that same conclusion.

As Mary responded "But....I AM A VIRGIN"; is the same as when we respond;
"But, LORD, I AM IGNORANT OF HOW TO DO "IT", "BUT, I AM OVER-WEIGHT",
"BUT, I AM NOT EDUCATED ENOUGH", "BUT, I AM A WOMAN", "BUT, I AM A MAN OF COLOR", "
BUT, I AM NOT PRETTY", "BUT, I AM TOO OLD", "BUT, I AM FINANCIALLY UNABLE TO DO IT",
"BUT I DON'T KNOW THE "RIGHT" PEOPLE OR HAVE THE "RIGHT" CONNECTIONS".
Of course, our "List of Excuses" and in the natural-sense "TRUE FACTS" goes on and on; but the Lord knew ALL OF "THE FACTS" before "INFORMING US OF WHAT COULD COME TO BE".

But, I AM A VIRGIN!
The Holy Spirit of v.35 still overshadows us to bring about the "Plan of God" in our lives.
He also overshadows to manifest v.36 in our lives NLT-What's more, your relative Elizabeth has become pregnant in her old age! People used to say she was barren, but she's already in her sixth month. Persons who have dared to think and speak negatively about us will have to "Eat Their Own Words" because the Great God of the "Turn-Around" will manifest Himself in our lives. T
he Holy Spirit of v.35 also validates and proves v.37- For with God nothing shall be impossible and when He says nothing, He means nothing, "NO MATTER WHAT" it is.
V.35 is also to provoke the response from us which Mary responded in v.38-"I am the Lord's servant, and I am willing to accept whatever He wants. May everything You have said come true."

But,... I AM A VIRGIN!
Daddy-God wants us to trust and believe "WHATEVER HE SAYS", no matter how impossible it seems.
Daddy-God desires that we touch and agree and begin to declare and proclaim what He is declaring for our lives.
Daddy-God wants us to know that He specializes in manifesting great outcomes in the lives of persons who "Originally seems to be lacking" what is needed in the "Natural" to bring it to pass.
So to whatever seemingly impossible Word Daddy-God has spoken into your life, what will be your response?
He gives the challenge and then provides the solution to the challenge!
Will you trust Him and allow Him to overshadow you and to manifest Himself in your life or will you keep whining, "But,... I AM A VIRGIN"?
It is totally up to you-but please choose wisely by saying "Yes, Lord", "I am the Lord's servant, and I am willing to accept whatever You want. May everything You have said come true?" |
