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.

Joseph Has 2 Dreams

In both of Joseph's dreams, he was the authority figure. In the Book of Genesis 37:3, it says that Jacob, Joseph's father loved him more than all his other children. In verse 4, it says because the brothers saw that Joseph was loved more, they hated him and could not speak peaceably to him. As the story goes on, the brothers stripped Joseph from the beautiful and colorful coat his father had made him. They end up throwing Joseph into a pit and selling him to the Ismeelites for 20 pieces of silver. Joseph's coat was taken and dipped into goats blood. They returned to their father with the coat. The father, Israel (Jacob) recognized the coat as being Joseph's, his son. He began to weep sorely for his son because he thought a wild animal had killed him. Joseph is taken into Egypt... To read the full account, turn your Bibles to:  Genesis, Chapter 37, Verses 1-36. Thank you for your time. * Join my podcast show Tuesdays and Thursdays 12 P.M on: Spre...

Facing the Storm: When Chosen Ones Encounter Rejection

Many people believe that being chosen by God is a path paved with blessings and acceptance. However, the reality can be quite different. The Bible is filled with stories of the Chosen Ones who’ve faced rejection, both from those closest to them and from the world at large. What is the Meaning of Chosen? Chosen: Not Favoritism, But Fit Imagine you are a coach getting a team together for a big game. You would not just pick people whom you favored for a personal reason. You would select players with skills and strengths to win the game. In a similar way, being chosen by God doesn’t necessarily mean He picks favorites. The Bible tells us He sees the potential within us, the unique gifts and abilities we possess. He “chooses” those who He knows can fulfill a specific purpose in His grand plan. Think of it like this: God has a mission: The Bible describes God working throughout history to bring about His purposes.                 ...
