CONCEPTION & BIRTH OF JESUS

                                             MATTHEW 1:18

18  AFTER their engagement Mary was with child by Holy Spirit.

19  JOSEPH wanted to break the engagement to not embarrass Mary.

20  JOSEPH was visited by an angel & told him in a dream, “ do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; she has conceived by Holy Spirit.”

21 AND she will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins.”

22.THIS  that took place & spoken by the LORD ,through the prophet, might be fulfilled, saying,

23 “BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL,” which translated means, “GOD WITH US.”

24. AFTER the dream Joseph did as he was told and took Mary as his wife.

25. JOSEPH kept her as a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.

(paraphrased Matthew 1: 18-25)

DAY AND NIGHT

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law
does he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a
tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his
fruits in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and
whatsoever he does shall prosper. PSALM 1:2,3

MEDITATING IN THE WORD:
THIS BOOK of the law shall not depart out of your
mouth; but you shall meditate therein day and night,
that you may observe to do according to all that is
written therein: for then you shall make your way
prosperous, and then you shall have good
success—JOSHUA 1:8

THE PRESENCE OF JESUS
Psalms 16:11 NKJV
“You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is
fullness of joy; At your right hand are pleasure forever
more.”
Identity in Christ is everything and as I have
explained in previous chapters Satan is going to try
everything He can to take your Identity from you. I
can’t emphasis enough the importance of knowing
who you are in Christ. I am regularly faced with this
from congregants from all over the world, as we travel
and we go from church to church, many Christians ask
me to pray for them because they don’t know who they
are anymore, they have lost their joy, they have lost
their peace, and they have lost their identity.
The quickest way to lose your identity is by
neglecting the presence. The moment you start losing
heart, the moment you start losing focus and you feel
lost, you need to think to yourself when last did I get
into His presence? When last did I just sit with Him
and let Him minister to me.
My first recommendation to Christians that have
backslid and that have lost their identity is to get back
into the presence. Because no man can restore you,
no one can make you whole like Jesus Himself.When
His precious Spirit reveals Himself to you He will lead
and guide you into all truth.                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Author Stephen Hockey Shadows & MIRRORS                                                                                                                                                                                   chapter 5 page 97

DRY SEASONS
The HEBREW word for prophesy is naba’. It means
“to bubble or flow forth; to gush; to flow; to boil up or
over” Naba is the word used in Ezekiel 47 when he
was commanded by the LORD to speak to the dry
bones: “Prophesy to these dry bones, and say to them,
‘O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!’"  (v4)
God promised the dry bones would be raised from
their graves, brought back to life, and restored to their
inheritance. You have a divine inheritance. You have
the same promise from the LORD. Ask HIM to show
you the inheritance He has for you. Then speak to the
dry places that are holding you back from restoration.
Don’t wait for the next prophet to come to town and do
what you can do for yourself.
Prophesy is simply “speaking forth the mind of God.”
Once the LORD reveals His will for the restoration He
has for you, speak forth His mind.
As the prophetic word is released from your mouth,
rivers will break out in your desert. “Behold I will do a
new thing, now it shall spring forth; . . . I will even
make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert”
( Is.43:19).

The Types of Sickness Jesus Healed
HEB 13:8. Jesus Christ the same yesterday,
today, tomorrow.
He’s still in the healing ministry,
Matthew 4:23 . . . Jesus healed all manner of
sickness and disease.
Sickness- a terminal condition in which there is
no known natural cure. It was associated with a
demon inflicted sickness and disease.
Disease- crippling disease
Jesus healed all.

Why Did Jesus Come?

Jesus came for one purpose. That we might have
life, and that we might have it more abundantly!                                                                                                                                                                                        The word “life” is the biggest word of the Gospel.
Man needed life because he was spiritually dead.
Spiritual death, which is the nature of the devil,
was imparted to man at the fall of man, when
Adam sinned.
The eradication of this devil-nature is what
God has worked toward in all the ages. It was the
reason why Jesus came to the earth. Jesus
stated, “… I am come that they might have life…”
The only thing that will meet man’s need is
the nature of God: eternal life. Nothing can take its
place,
When a person receives eternal life, he
receives the nature of God, that life of God, unto
himself. This is that divine act that changes a man
from the family of Satan to the family of God
instantly.
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill,
and to destroy: I am come that they might have
life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 10:10
Confession: The life of God has been
imparted to my spirit. I am alive unto God. The life
of God — the nature of God— is imparted to my
spirit. I will let the life and nature of God that’s in
me, dominate me.

6/21/24 by Donald Young
I saw the LORD Jesus going throughout the state of
TEXAS. He was in His Blue, 1988- GMC- pickup.
He was visiting his saints, many of them who had
missed an hour of opportunity to go further with Him in
the past.
This is why He once again came in a GMC.
