Let’s continue with the next part from the Lord – How we will see the promises over our life come to pass? For them to be not only be birthed, but to complete everything they were intended for?
Let’s pick up Mary’s encounter, in Luke 1
Luke 1:35 (NKJV)
“And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you..,,,,
The angel was simply explaining what had already happened and what was about to happen in this next moments!
The Angel was prophecing. Remember prophecies tell of what is and what is about to become.
For as is spoken in Isaiah 55:11 (NKJV)
“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it”.
Luke 1:37-38 (NKJV)
For with God nothing will be impossible.”
In simple terms what the angel was saying and declaring is this
“Within every word of God is everything needed for it to be fulfilled “
For every word is an invitation to partner with Him and when we do, this will brings about an amazing conception, which we will see in Mary’s response in the very next verse.
“Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her”.
So what has happened by what she spoken and made agreement with?
She has just released her egg which joined with His sperm (word) Now she had conceived. This was the very point when His word became flesh.
This is the same for us.
Remember we are His bride and when we receive His seed and accept it, Conception happens both spiritually and naturally, and we become pregnant and will give birth to all He has spoken!
As you may recall from the beginning of the message. All this was given after the Lord awoke me one morning.
NOTE: These are His words that came after:
Many have not seen My word come to pass as they have put My word on the shelf, put it on a note in their bible or Locked it up in their journal
But this is where it will never reach conception. For conception will only come to My words when you consent, and allow Me to enter you and deposit the word in your heart.
Wow, this is a wake up from the Lord, many of us aren’t seeing His Word come to pass and here’s the reason why: We need to allow the Lord to come into us and plant His seed (word) in our hearts.
1. We then ADD our egg in consent
2. We WAIT for the birth to come forth according to His word as He has promised.
Challenge time: Grab your journal, some space and time with the Lord and complete the following:
1. Find all the words and promises you have released. With each one say a prayer like “Father come into me with Your word. Deposit it in my heart. Amen
2. Now start to ask questions with the Lord for your head my come into alignment with what has been done in your heart. Remember not to leave Him until you know, that you know, through and through the Person of Wisdom and Revelation! Before you leave:
3. Ask this question. Father is my head in alignment with my heart over this promise you have plantedin my heart? Yes or No? if you get yes continue if not it’s ok just continue asking questions.
4. The next step is to provide the egg in through an expression of accepting and use of heart felt words. Take time to do what Mary did in your own words. You could start with Mary’s words if you like
“Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And continue with your own words of expression of intimacy to the Lord! Ask this question to the Lord: Father is Your word and promise now conceived in me? Yes or No? If yes continue and if not He simply wants to take you deeper.
5. Give thanks to Father
Father, thank You for your leading, guiding, direction, discernment, wisdom, revelation and for Your understanding. Father we believe that what has been conceived today in a conception with your word (promise) and in our hearts and physical being. Will now come forth and bare the fruit in and through ourlife amen. We give You all the praise and all the glory for what will be fulfilled in the coming days because of what happened today. The miraculous conception that will bring forth the promise into reality. Thank you Father, we give you all the praise in Jesus name amen
