The Favor of God

 

1. The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.(Luke 1:30)

What favor did Mary find with God?

To conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus(Luke 1:31)

This is the favor that God bestow on us

To conceive,bear and deliver Jesus.

Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I am a virgin?”

Mary was not sure how she can ,her thoughts were limited as any humans. She looked into the impossibilities and limitations that she had.

But she when she offered her weaknesses and doubts to lord in prayer simply and humbly.. presenting herself just as she is, angel assured heavenly help.

The help through power of Holy Spirit.

 The angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God.

This favor revealed through word of God, to accomplish in us is not by our efforts or strength. We must accept and be aware that we are weak and offer ourselves to the heavenly power of holy spirit to help us. 

In this self surrender to favor revealed by word of God, the power of Holy Spirit will empower us to do gods plans in us...our purification and gaining of souls.

The holy spirit will give us a sign too ,to help us trust in Gods revelations..

Angel gave a second gen to Mary to make her put her trust that,nothing will be impossible with God

Sign: your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is the sixth month for her who was said to be barren. For nothing will be impossible with God

Mary offered herself in complete trust to God..for his favor through his living word and proclaimed

'Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to your word.” 

In all new favor revelations God gives us through his living word let us have the same attitude as Mary and Jesus did.

When I offer myself for gods word, through itself will reveal gods way in my life to serve him.

2. Serve as you conceive and bear Jesus in you by holy spirit:- The sign is for us to confirm gods real presence and voice to us and also is an area for us offer our service to lord through what he has signed us through..

Like Mary went in haste to serve elizabeth. Mary served as she conceived and bore Jesus in her.

Let this be opportunities to magnify God by our life by testifying his presence in us and approaching whoever God gives us by bearing him in us..and thus instilling holy spirit in them whom we are send to serve...let all we do glorify gods name..

Mary said..my soul magnifies lord..

Let our services and ministries be according to Lord's sign and revelations..to be filled in Holy Spirit, fruitful deposits for eternity

My mission:- offer your persecution suffering weakness stress strain rejections etc for your purification and to being souls to Jesus thus saving souls to gods love.. Jesus

Self empty yourself to give Jesus

When you do the mission revealed..do it for glory of God..as Mary magnified lord in service to elizabeth

The effect of service:When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit 42 and exclaimed with a loud cry, ...she recognized JESUS through Marys approach.

3. Deliver Jesus in right time in messy places in humility:

Lord's time in marys life to deliver Jesus was when they had to go for a family commitment.

It was so unfavorable for them and her pain to deliver Jesus started..

Amidst all inconvenience, they made way to deliver Jesus..in humility

They were tight..no rooms..but a stable..but they delivered Jesus..they couldn't do.anything for proclaiming..but Mary just pondered everything and looked to Jesus face and sat..people got attracted by the Jesus born and came by themselves to the place where he was born..the spread of news /evanglisation was done by Angels..

So I might be in a situation now that I cannot do anything exposing..but it will.be Lord's time in my life to deliver Jesus in pains and discomforts and inconveniences..what I have to do is just focus on Jesus face and offer my situation as delivery pains of Mary..in these challenging times..angels will be our news spreaders..and many souls will be attracted to Jesus whom you have delivered amidst all challenges

Jesus said,. When I am.raised on cross,I will attract all to me..

Jesus gained the whole world when on the cross(the stable of nativity) than he gained when he was on mission bearing word of God..just in marys life too..she gained many to Jesus when she was in nativity stable and at foot of cross...here heavenly host is the spreaders of good news of salvation through Jesus..

Your stable experience,crosses gains many souls to Jesus Christ than when you were on physical mission as you conceived and bore Jesus..u gain more on delivery of Jesus in your pain and Cross

Cross and stables are ultimate way to gain our soul and many souls..

4. Presenting Jesus humbling to the Gods missions

Many souls are waiting for Jesus ..when we present him according to the church and priest, instituted as body of christ, many souls get delivered to salvation..

We get new revelations.. pointing to self purification and purification of thoughts of many...enthroning Jesus in many minds and the whole world..

Jesus presented to us through priest..delivers us to salvation..holy spirit guide us to church for this purpose..

As we present ourselves in church, we get confirmed and guided to truth by holy spirit..for our purification and revelations of mission of lord.

So come to the house of the lord and offer in altar all of ourselves as pleasing sacrifice to God..we are his parts..we get nourished more and Church get more channels to spread Jesus love..
