LUKE 1:35-38 (2025)

LUKE 1:35-38

And the angel said to her, 

“The Holy Spirit will come upon you 

and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; 

therefore, the holy child to be born of you shall be called Son of God.

Even your relative, Elizabeth, is expecting a son in her old age, 

although she was unable to have a child; 

and she is now in her sixth month. 

With God nothing is impossible.” 

Then Mary said, “I am the handmaid of the Lord, 

let it be done to me as you have said.” 

And the angel left her.

---- mine,

When you permit Me to have My way with you and allow God complete autonomy over your will and your life, you will see great miracles happen. The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, and I will be born in your heart, mind, soul, and spirit, and you will bring Me forth in every way. I will be present in you, through you, and will go forth from you to others. I will come alive in you, and I will establish My Kingdom in you and over you. I will be your God and your Lord, I will reign in you and through you, and all who come to you will experience My love emanating from you and flowing through you. Sinner though you are, weak though you are, frail and prone to sin constantly, I AM the God of the impossible, and just as Elizabeth, who was barren, conceived in her old age, so too can I make of you a new creation, pleasing and acceptable to My Father. Remain in My love. Be aware of My Presence in you. Allow Me to take control of your whole being. Rest in Me in perfect confidence, knowing that I, the Lord your God, love you with a love that is beyond your understanding. Know and believe ---- my own, You are Mine in time and eternity. Remain in My love.

1 KINGS 17:13-14 (2025)

1 KINGS 17:13-14

Elijah then said to her, “Do not be afraid. 

Go, and do as you have said. 

But first make me a little cake of it and bring it to me. 

Then make some for yourself and your son. 

For this is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, 

‘The jar of meal shall not be emptied 

nor shall the jug of oil fail, 

until the day when the Lord sends rain to the earth.”

---- mine,

Once again, I say to you, "Do not be afraid." Fear has no place in the heart and life of those who belong to Me, for they walk by faith and not by sight. Look at the widow, she had nothing for the drought affected her as well, and after she and her son ate the last of the food, she was certain they would both die. But at the word of the prophet, she did as he asked. She shared the last of what she had, and true to his word, neither the flour nor the oil ran out as long as the drought lasted, and God opened the heavens and it rained. Do not be afraid to share the little you have because all is My gift to you. Nothing is given to you solely for yourself. After your needs are met, share gladly, not with fear, worried whether or not you will have enough for tomorrow. Tomorrow will take care of itself, also no one is guaranteed tomorrow. All you have is this present moment in which to live in My love, move in love, be directed by My love.  In this is peace, a peace that the world cannot give for it comes from Me and it is My gift to all who believe in Me, hope in Me, and trust Me. Use the gifts I have given you negligible though you think your gifts are, for My glory, in My service, and I will take care of the rest. The more you use what you have well, the more it will grow and be perfected. Do what you can and leave the outcome to Me. You will not be disappointed.
