Message For December
"WHY I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES"
This is Your Day for a Miracle
INTRODUCTION: If I may focus on verse 28 and translate, And the angel came in unto her and said, "This is your day for a miracle." Look at someone and tell him or her this is your day for a blessing. I know someone is thinking, I thought I would get to hear the traditional Christmas message. I would be wrong not to observe the history of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Scripture will come from: Luke. 1:28; Galatians. 4:4-5; Luke. 1:37; Matthew. 1:20
1. First I will Focus on the Virgin Birth Historically.
The Bible says in Galatians 4:4-5 that in the fullness of time, God the Father sent forth his Son, made of a woman under the law to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
It was at this time that God's plan for man which He had established before time was set in motion. The infallible Word of God became flesh in the form of an infant named Jesus. He was God in the flesh. Because He was God in the flesh, His appearing would be nothing less than a miracle. The prophets foretold his birth because His birth was to be nothing less than a miracle. A star appeared in the sky at His appearing because His appearing was to be nothing less than a miracle. A host of heavenly angels celebrated and commemorated His birth because His appearing was to be nothing less than a miracle. He was born of a virgin because His appearing was to be nothing less than a miracle. Before we go any further, I want to clarify the virgin birth. If you stay with this ministry, you will learn that much of what we have learned or been taught is not true. Much of what we're discovering will be by revelation and not information alone.
It is my prayer that we will learn the difference between what you have learned from information intellectually and what you have learned revelatory by God's Spirit.
Some people get baptized to get saved. Some people get baptized because they are saved. "What's the difference?" The revelation makes the difference. Some people try to please God to try to reach God. Some people try to please God because He has reached down for us. "What's the difference?" The revelation makes the difference.
I am here to teach the revelation of the difference between the Immaculate Conception and the virgin birth. The Immaculate conception is the concept that teaches that in order for Jesus to be holy, Mary had to be holy.
The Immaculate Conception is the concept that teaches that in order for Jesus to be born without sin, Mary had to be born without sin. But if Mary could be born without sin, then we would not need Jesus. Mary could have died on a tree for you and for me. But Mary was not sinless. She did not have to be.
The angel did not say blessed art thou above women. He said blessed art thou among women. Mary was simply the surrogate mother of Jesus. Jesus was not placed in one of Mary's eggs. He was placed in Mary's womb. The Holy Spirit did not enter into Mary intimately. The Holy Ghost came upon Mary to enable her to do the impossible.
As it says in Luke 1:37, For with God nothing shall be impossible.
And Mary said be it unto me according to thy word. Mary was not sinless she was just selfless. The virgin birth was not an issue of Mary's ability to give birth to a Sinless Savior. The virgin birth is about Mary's availability to be used by God for a miracle. That helps me to examine the birth of Jesus Christ historically to see it was nothing less than a miracle.
2. Second let's Focus on the Virgin Birth, spiritually.
It helps me to examine the virgin birth spiritually. If He can do it for Mary, He can do it for me. If God can do miracles through Mary, He can do miracles through me. If God can bring something big out of little Bethlehem, He can do something big through little ol' me. If God can bring something good out of Jesus' family tree, then I know He can bring something good out of me (Matt. 1:20).
3. Finally let's Focus on the Virgin Birth, prophetically.
Mt. 1:22
This helps me to see the birth of Jesus Christ prophetically. It was the transition from the law to grace. It was the transition from sin to salvation. It was the birth of the man that split time in half, BC from AD. Therefore, it represents a new beginning for me. This is my day for a miracle. This is my day to start believing. This is my day to start receiving. This is my day for a blessing. This is my day for a miracle.
Selah, Until Next Month...
