Birth of JOHN Prophecied

” Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. ” Luke 1:13 

Can you imagine an angel visiting you? 

 

  •  
  • An angel named Gabriel appeared to Mary to tell her of the birth of Jesus. 
  • An angel also appeared to Elizabeth to tell her she would have a son, when she was old and childless. 
  •  

Have you ever seen an angel? 

Most people describe the experience terrifying and magnificent at the same time. 

The angel delivers the message, and she is to have a SON.

Her situation seemed hopeless, until God showed up ! God send a deliverer into her situation. If he did it for Elizabeth and Zechariah he can do it for you and I!

“But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old.” Luke 1: 7

“After this, his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion.Luke 1:24

 

  • I understand what it is like to live in seclusion, to not talk about your baby, your pregnancy. I hid my baby for 6 months. 
  •  
  • BUT GOD – he helped me through it ! He came to my rescue. 
  • I prayed for my baby’s health, and for my delivery, ad I had a healthy babygirl, who is NOW almost 18 years old. 

– an excerpt from my upcoming Book, ” Purposefully Driven” in which i outline my testimonies, Gods plan and purpose for my life, and a call to Ministry beyond the walls of the church.

Birth of Jesus Prophecied

“In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.” Luke 1:26-27

“You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. Luke 1:31

 

  •  –The SAVIOR of the WORLD 
  • – One who takes the sin of the world. 
  • – the holy one, righteous one
  • – Son of the Most High 
  •  

How will this happen? 

I have not been with a man! 

The baby was conceived by the Holy Spirit. 

Another Imposibility 

“To man this impossible but all things are possible with God.” Matthew 19:26

Matter Effect 

Elizabeth is pregnant for six month, and she has not been able to concieve. A sign maybe? 

Mary Visits Elizabeth

Mary visits Elizabeth who is also pregnant ( 6 months)

THE BABY leaps in her stomach at her arrival 

God unites two women for a special purpose. 

Mary Rejoices in the LORD 

The Birth of John the Baptist

“When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son. ” Luke 1:57

The babe was born as prophecied or foretold by an angel. 

Zechariah names his son ” JOHN” who becomes JOHN the Baptist – proclaiming the Kingdom of God in the wilderness. 

Zechariah's Prophecy

 

He sings a SONG OF PRAISE

Zechariah’s prophetic song about salvation, mercy, and the role of John the Baptist.

“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, because he has come to his people and redeemed them. He has raised up a hornof salvation for us in the house of his servant David  (as he said through his holy prophets of long ago), salvation from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us- to show mercy to our ancestors and to remember his holy covenant, the oath he swore to our father Abraham: to rescue us from the hand of our enemies, and to enable us to serve him without fear  in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.” (vs 68-78)

Journaling & Reflection

Pray and Apply

What promise has God made to you in this season, and how are you actively responding in faith to this promise? Has doubt, frustration or skepticism kept you from hopefully waiting for God to do the extraordinary in your life? Ask the Holy Spirit to examine your heart and show you how to respond to the promises of God with words and meditations of faith and hope. Spend a few minutes thanking God for His promises and reflecting on His faithfulness.

Mary showed extraordinary surrender to God’s plans for her life. Her willingness came at a cost. She risked being misunderstood, misjudged, disowned and even punished by accepting her immaculate pregnancy. Because she trusted God more than potential risks and fears, she became a part of the greatest story ever told! 

How is God calling you to surrender to His plans? Pray and talk to God about His will for your life. Are you willing to surrender, once again, all of your life and desires to Him? Allow faith to rise up within you as you exchange your plans for His.

Is there a promise God has made to you that has yet to be fulfilled? How are you waiting? In what areas do you see Christ’s character developing within you as you wait? Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the inward journey of your heart. Pray and ask for Christ’s character to be more fully developed in your life––and that faith would replace any doubt, and humility would replace any pride.

LEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS 💭

Your Story is important to someone else. The details of your testimony are life to someone else. I couldn’t have spoken into strangers life, if I myself did not go through the battles. I can only speak because I know the pain, the hurt, and confusion. I pray God comforts us, and gives us the grace to tell our story, no matter how small the details are.

 

Let’s not hesitate to share our testimonies and help each other walk through the valleys, and reach our destinations together. With a sense of fulfillment, and helping others get there can be a rewarding and satisfying experience, because when we lift each other up, we don’t just reach our destinations, we thrive in them.
