New Dream, Purpose and Plan - By Pat Stanton


Do you need a new dream, purpose, or plan for your life? There's 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.  She had Unconditional Surrender to God

2.  She Became a Carrier of the Word

3.  She Believed 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...

* Giving Yourself to God?

* Filling Yourself with the Written Word of God so You'll be a Carrier of Life?

* Believing what God has already Spoken in His Word?

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