Wendy VirgoThe second story was on Mary, taken from Luke 1:26 when God sent the angel Gabriel to Mary. God sent the angel to a specific person, at a specific time with a very specific message.
Mary is like a prototype woman. God comes specifically to us. Mary possibly had her plans but God was interrupting her plans with the message about Jesus. God the Father was sending God the Son. Mary objects and thought she was being asked to do something she couldn’t.
When God comes to us, He changes everything. In and of ourselves, we don’t have the ability to bring life. The Holy Spirit is the answer and he comes along side us in our times of weakness. The Holy Spirit gives us power to do what God has called us to do.
Forgiveness: It’s not a human thing. It’s a lifestyle. We chose to forgive and in our human strength, we are unable to. It’s not natural but the Holy Spirit will empower us.
Why was the story of Elizabeth brought in here when Mary was receiving her news? It shows us that NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE for God regardless of age. The Holy Spirit comes to enable us to do the supernatural.
God is taking us to new areas and Satan is trying to bring us down. We are called to pray: your kingdom come. Pray it into being.
Wendy encouraged us to be women of prayer, who seek God and have new understanding – women with discernment.
