Special Blessings From The LORD


There was an angel named Gabriel who was sent from God to  appear before a virgin woman named Mary. She was espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The angel came to Mary and delivered this message:

 Luke 1:28-33 
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Now Mary wondered how could this be since she was a virgin. 

Luke 1:28 says:

35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

In verse 36, the angel Gabriel goes on to tell Mary that her elderly cousin Elisabeth who was called barren, is six months pregnant. 

For with God nothing shall be impossible. -

 Luke 1:37

Mary was honored that God had chosen her to be mother to the Savior of the world, Jesus, the Son of God. 
She went to spend time with Elisabeth, her cousin. The two had a glorious reunion. Upon greeting each other, the baby in Elisabeth's womb did a leap and she became filled with the Holy Ghost. - 

 Luke 1:41-45.

Mary was very joyful and grateful for the blessings of the LORD, so she praised and magnified His name. 
Mary stayed with Elisabeth three months and returned home. Elisabeth gave birth to a son, known all over as John the Baptist.  
Months later, Mary gave birth to her Son, known throughout the Heavens and earth as the Savior of the world; Lord of lords, King of kings, Jesus. Read about the many, many miracles of Jesus in the Bible books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. 
Two beautiful miracles have taken place. Mary, who was a virgin was chosen by God to be the mother of the Savior, King Jesus and Elisabeth, Mary's elderly cousin who was way beyond child bearing age, bore John the Baptist. 

You can read the entire account of this story in the Bible @

 Luke 1:1-80.

A Wake-Up Call: Few Will Enter the Kingdom of God

A Wake-Up Call: Few Will Enter the Kingdom of God Recently, I had a dream that I believe holds a significant message  not only for myself but for many others. I feel led to share this dream with you, as I believe it serves as a spiritual wake up call–a reminder of the urgency of walking in the truth and seeking the Kingdom of God. In this dream, I found myself in a large classroom filled with 30 or more adults. The atmosphere was serious, almost as if everyone was waiting for something important to happen. At the front of the classroom, there was a door that led to a small, enclosed room. I stepped into that room, and with me was a man, though I couldn’t clearly identify who he was. In my hand, I was holding four large wooden dowels. These dowels were about 12 inches long and colored similarly to chico sticks — bright and attention  - grabbing. I kept turning to the man beside me, telling him, “You tell them,” as if I was unsure of delivering the message myself. But each...

You’re Not Alone in This

  You’re Not Alone in This When life gets heavy — and it does — we sometimes forget that we’re not meant to carry everything on our own. The weight of worry, uncertainty, or exhaustion may press down on your heart, but God is not asking you to be strong all by yourself. In fact, His strength shines brightest when we admit our weakness and lean into Him. Take a deep breath. Inhale peace, exhale fear. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.  - 1 Timothy 1:7. Each step you take, no matter how small, is a step of faith. And you are never taking that step alone. God walks beside you — whispering courage, wrapping you in grace, and holding your heart steady. So tonight, rest in that promise. Tomorrow, rise with new strength. You’re not forgotten. You’re not forsaken. You’re not alone. My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness — 2 Corinthians 12:9  Listen to the podcast episode: Life ...

The Power of Praise: How Psalm 147 Reminds Us of God’s Care

  The Power of Praise: How Psalm 147 Reminds Us of God’s Care Life often brings uncertainty, pain, and struggles. In difficult times, it's easy to forget just how powerful and loving our God is. Psalm 147 is a beautiful reminder that God not only controls the universe but also cares deeply for His people. 1. God Heals the Brokenhearted One of the most comforting verses in Psalm 147 is verse 3: "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." No matter what trials we face—whether heartbreak, loss, or disappointment—God is always present to restore us. His love is greater than our pain, and His healing is perfect. 2. God’s Power Extends Over All Creation Verse 4 says: "He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names." This verse shows that God’s knowledge and power are limitless. If He cares enough to name every star, how much more does He care for us? 3. God Provides for All "He giveth to the beast his food, ...
