Do you need a new dream, purpose, or plan for your life? There is a story in the Bible that gives a great plan for the miraculous:

A young lady, named Mary, received a divine encounter with Gabriel, an angel sent from God. She was told that she would have a Son, and would call His name Jesus. This would happen as the Holy Spirit from God would overshadow her (Luke 1:34-38). Mary responded in three ways that we can use as a guide for our planning and purposes:

1.  Unconditional Surrender to God

2.  Carrier of the Word

3.  Believe the Word

Mary heard the astonishing word from God and she said, "I am your servant. Let your word come true in my life." This young woman did not refuse the surprise word that came, but she surrendered her life to carry a new life. She believed the words of God.  As you make your plans for the new year, are you...

1.  Laying down your life for the sake of the gospel message?

2.  Filling yourself with the written Word of God so that you will be a carrier of life?

3.  Believing what God has already spoken in His Word?

God bless you as you allow the power of the Highest to overshadow your life.

December 25  - "For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior which is Christ the Lord" (Luke 2:11). Oh My people, on this day, the anniversary of My birth, I came to this earth as a babe in a manger, born of a virgin mother, and today, I come unto you. Yea, to those who are weary and worn from many trials and heartaches, unto you who are tired in body, mind and spirit, unto you who are in need of physical or emotional healing, unto you who need a Savior who is Christ the Lord. Unto you who have accepted Me into the inn of your hearts, I will sup with you and you with Me today, as together we celebrate My birth.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.

In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
