 Mary came into alignment for God’s purpose by declaring these words, “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.” (Luke 1:38 KJV)

Mary who the angel of the Lord called highly favored, didn’t have it easy by no means. Being highly favored meant persecution, pain, sacrifice.

She became a different person the moment the Holy Ghost overshadowed her. You can’t hide a visitation from God. Moses had to wear a veil over his face after being in the presence of God on the mountain. The radiancy of God’s glory permeated on his face. (Exodus 34:33)

Her womb bore more than a child. “Mary you are carrying a prophecy, a prophecy that the enemy will do all that’s in his power to destroy. Evil will arise from its throne. Fear not, for light will always swallow shadows. It is written, “And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. (I will do a breakdown of these scriptures in depth)

Her position before the earth’s foundations were laid was to carry the promise that the enemy despised. He devised in every wicked way possible to stop her from delivering our Savior. Yes, earthly kings arose in haste to protect their rein. It wasn’t about flesh and blood, it was against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12) This battle would only be won by standing tall and strong on bended knees.

Don’t you see Beloved, Satan hates the promises and calling that’s in your spiritual womb. Take your promise and remind the enemy God said it and it shall come to pass!

This is a year of flourishing. Let God give you the strength to birth spiritual things.
