A Bondslave of the Lord

In Luke 1:38 we see Mary’s amazing response to the news she receives from Gabriel. “Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word.” What a humble heart this young woman has. Not only does she surrender, but she enslaves herself to the will of God.

Perhaps, God is asking you to do something for Him that you do not fully understand. In fact, it borders on the line of being ridiculous and unbelievable to conceive. If so, I encourage you to humble your heart like Mary, and enslave your will to His.

There is a promise in Jeremiah 29:11 that we can claim, “For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.”

His plans are to bless and prosper our lives, to save others, and to bring Him great glory through us.

Christmas Gift from the Lord

I believe it is the simple gifts in life that mean the most to me. David and I took care of a very wild boy named Jonathan years ago in our early days at the Life Tender Mercy Homes. After several years of hard work the judge sent him back to his abusive family. We never knew what happened to him, but he recently returned to say “Thank You”. This is a Christmas gift from the Lord that I will treasure always.

God Transforms Impossible

To confirm to Mary the message of the Lord, Gabriel gives her a Word of Knowledge in Luke 1:36 concerning her cousin Elizabeth. He says, “And behold, even your relative Elizabeth has also conceived a son in her old age; and she who was called barren is now in her sixth month.”

This Word of Knowledge not only confirms the truth of the purpose of His visit with Mary, but it also encourages her to believe God to fulfill His promise.

In the natural it was impossible for Elizabeth to conceive a child. She was labeled “barren”. The Amplified Bible reads, “”Look, even in her old age, your relative Elizabeth has conceived a son. This woman who was labeled ‘unable to conceive’ is now six months pregnant.” Her womb was labeled with the words forever empty and childless.

But God is the Master at overriding natural impossibilities and transforming them into possibilities. He removes negative word labels that bind people to hopelessness and despair. He confirms this in verse 37, “For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment.” AMP

What physical impossibility have you been labeled with? Is there an underlying hope within you to be free from this negative label? That hope is the precursor to faith to believe and receive your miracle from God today. Hebrews 11:1 puts it this way, “Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title-deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].”

Spiritually prepare your heart to receive. Just like  a womb receives a miracle seed to produce life, you receive this message as your hope seed and witness the label impossible transform into possible. You start right now, and take the word impossible or the negative report, renounce it in the name of Jesus, and transform it and say with God I Am Possible

Shining Cloud of Glory

Gabriel answers Mary’s honest question, “How can this be?” He says to her in Luke 1:35, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.” The Amplified Version of the Bible describes this overshadowing as “like a shining cloud”.

This is what happens when we activate our faith and believe in His promises. We allow His presence to come upon us, and overshadow us like a shining cloud. In Genesis 1:1-3, we read about this overshadowing when God creates the heavens and the earth. It says in verse 2 that the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, is hovering and brooding over the situation, and His glory  releases into the situation when the Father says in verse 3, “Let there be light”. 

This light is not the sun, moon and stars, God creates these in verses 14-19, on the fourth day of creation. What is this light that He releases in verse 3? It is the manifested glory of God. And it is in this realm where miracles release and manifest.

If we read through the rest of the encounter between Gabriel and Mary, we will see that in verse 38 Mary says, ““Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word.” She binds herself to the Word of the Lord and releases the glorious power of the Holy Spirit into her life, through the agreement of her spoken words, just as the Father did in the beginning of creation, and the miraculous then happens.

Does the Spirit of the Lord want to release in us an unimaginable miracle? Are we struggling to find the manifestation of this promise? We need to be like Mary, surrender our will to His, and give the invitation to the Holy Spirit to manifest His shining cloud of glory over us to release and create our miracle.

Let’s pray.

Dear Holy Spirit,

I am your bondslave, I bind myself to You. I invite You to come and overshadow me with Your shining cloud of glory. With my spoken words of agreement, I release Your power to create Your miraculous will for my life.

In Jesus’ name,  amen.

An Honest Question

Luke 1:34, “Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?” This is Mary’s response to the most astounding news she receives from Gabriel, that she would give birth to Jesus, the Son of God.

Mary was a simple young girl, and yet she was chosen to carry out a great task of love for God.

Imagine how difficult news of this magnitude was to believe and receive. We would all wonder how this was possible.

Her response was not that of doubt, but an honest question. She truly wondered how God could accomplish this promise.

Where as a doubtful response would mock, negate, and push away the promise of God.

Did you know that God can handle and will even welcome an honest question. He wants us to understand His plans and purposes for our lives. He says in Jeremiah 33:3, “Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand).” AMP

Do you have questions concerning the promise of the Lord for your life? Don’t be afraid to ask Him. He will answer you, and show you great and mighty things that He has for you.

Prophetic Messages from Heaven

As we continue on with the real life account of the birth of Jesus we read from Luke 1:31-33, the prophecy that the angel Gabriel came to deliver to Mary. “And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.”

What an amazing prophecy that Mary received. It forever altered the future. She was to become the earthen vessel that God would choose to supernaturally conceive, but physically carry and birth Jesus Christ into this earth.

The Christmas story is filled with supernatural events, angelic appearances, prophecy, supernatural conception, and we will read later on in the story about dreams and visions, a guiding star, and more angelic visitations. It is a fascinating portion of Scripture.

I want to focus today’s blog on prophetic messages. Mary received this prophecy about 2000 years ago. But did you know that God still speaks to His people with prophetic messages today? And He may be waiting to speak to you in this manner.

A prophetic message may come through an angel sent from Heaven as in the encounter between Gabriel and Mary. A heavenly message may come through someone who holds the office of a prophet, (see 1Corinthians 12:28). It may come in a dream or in a vision, and it can even come through an everyday believer in Jesus Christ as we see in Acts 2:17-18. It says, “And it shall come to pass in the last days, God declares, that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels] and your young men shall see visions (divinely granted appearances), and your old men shall dream [divinely suggested] dreams. Yes, and on My menservants also and on My maidservants in those days I will pour out of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels and predicting future events pertaining especially to God’s kingdom].” AMP

God wants to speak to you. He wants you to understand His will for your life. Allow Him to speak to you prophetically as He desires.

Favor With God

The story of the birth of Jesus continues in Luke 1: 28-30, “And coming in, he said to her, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.” But she was very perplexed at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this was. The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God.”

The angel Gabriel comes down to Earth, appears to a young virgin girl named Mary to deliver an astounding message from God in Heaven. The message that he has to give is so amazing, even the greeting itself is perplexing to the young girl. And its this greeting that we are going to look at today.

How would you react if the angel Gabriel suddenly appeared to you and said, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.”? And while you are trying to absorb what is happening he speaks again and say, “Do not be afraid, for you have found favor with God.” I would render to guess that most would be speechless.

Maybe you have not had Gabriel or any other angel appear to you, but did you know that you do have the unmerited favor of God upon you? This unmerited favor is called grace. And it is a free gift given to those who will simply believe and receive.

The Greek word for grace is Charis. And the Greek word for gift is Charisma. The root meaning of the word grace is gift.

It says in Ephesians 2:8-9 in the Amplified Version of the Bible, “For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God; Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law’s demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.]

This unmerited favor of God upon your life is what Christmas is all about. This is why God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to earth. To gift to you His grace, that was purchased for you by the redemptive work of Jesus at Calvary.

It says in John 3:16, “For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.” AMP

You can receive this unmerited favor today. Let’s pray.

A Prayer For the Assistance of Ministering Angels

Luke 1: 26-27 says, “Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.”

The Father sent His angel Gabriel to this earth to deliver a message to Mary that would change her life. Did you know that He still sends angels to this earth to minister to His people? The Bible says concerning these angels in Hebrews 1:14, “Are not the angels all ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the service [of God for the assistance] of those who are to inherit salvation?” AMP

We need to learn to take the limits off of God, and allow Him to minister to us as He wills. Many believers are receiving angelic visitations from the Lord. I know I have had angelic activity in my life, and I expect even more ministry in this way. How about you? Where are you at in your spiritual walk with the Lord? Will you allow Him to send His ministering angels to minister to you?

Here is my petition to the Lord for you this day.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I ask You to send forth your angels to minister to the needs of my dear friends this day. That many will see, hear and receive a special angelic touch from You that will heal them in spirit, soul and body.

For those that are fighting against a spirit of death that they receive a divine healing touch and they will rise from their deathbeds completely healed.

And for all that are suffering from physical pain, sickness and disease I ask that Your ministering angels will encompass them and release their physical healing this very moment.

I pray for others that are fighting against a spirit of deception that they will receive a message of truth that will set them free, and lead them down the path of repentance, and back into the arms of the Heavenly Father.

Holy Spirit, send forth Your angels that will minister love, and acceptance to those that are contemplating suicide today. Give them the message of hope that is needed to choose life and to carry on to the victory that comes only from the redemptive work of Jesus Christ.

For those that are in the place of major decisions today, that will affect the lives of them and their families, release Your ministering angels and strengthen them to do what is right according to Your Word.

Whatever the need may be, I ask that You will release Your angels to minister to them by the power of Your grace.

In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.

Word From the Lord / Salvation of My Righteous Right Hand

As I was seeking the Lord last night, Friday, November 16, 2012 during our quiet time together, He gave me the following word concerning the chaos in the Middle East at 11:15 P.M.

Grave events are taking place this week. Great mistakes will be made in the Middle East. But in the midst of chaos the world will see the mighty power of My hand upon My people.

As they try to divide My land, their land will be divided.

Peace in the end-of-time will prevail, but for now, My glory will shine down upon My people. And My people will walk in the protection of the blood of My Son.

Press in, don’t give up, and don’t be discouraged. Pick up the mighty armor I have given to you. Declare victory in the midst of despair. You will see the salvation of My righteous right hand.

Word From the Lord / Tell Them Repentance

This is a Word from the Lord that I received last night, November 15, 2012, Thursday at 10:15 P.M.

Dear Becky,

Major world events are on the verge of breaking loose. Warn the brethren to be ready, be prayed up, and be prepared for spiritual warfare. But tell them not to fear because I am ever so near. Tell them to march forward with all boldness in the power of My grace.

The earth is shaking, and it is quaking, and it is physically shifting. Wickedness is increasing, and weighing heavy on the earth. There is a direct correlation between the physical and the spiritual. And the spiritual controls the physical.

Many people are crying out for revival, but revival always starts because of repentance. Tell them to cry out for repentance, for from it will pour forth revival. A revival that cannot be stopped, cannot be quenched.

But this repentance starts in My house. A great spiritual cleansing is moving through the Church. I will scour out the wickedness. You will see many more fall away. Do not be dismayed. It is in the midst of this great spiritual cleansing that you will witness the greatest revival this world has ever seen before.

Many will cry out to Me on bended knee. The miraculous will break loose like never seen or heard before. And both Jew and Gentile will be saved.

Get ready for the New Wine that will pour forth from the throne of grace.
