For That Which Is Conceived In Her Is Of The Holy Ghost - Part 1751

"Therefore, my brethren dearly beloved and longed for, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord ..." (Philippians 4:1) 

"Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise; when as His mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost ... but while [Joseph] thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying "Joseph, thou son of David; fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 

And she shall bring forth a son, and thou SHALT CALL HIS NAME JESUS FOR HE SHALL SAVE HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR SINS. Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son and they shall call His Name Emmanuel, being interpreted, God with us ... and [he] knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son; and he called HIS NAME JESUS!" (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:35; Isaiah 9:6; I Timothy 3:16)

This is the time to be found wholly in Him, not having our own form of righteousness (which is of the law) but rather, adhering to that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith, that we might know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death ..." (Philippians 3:9-10; Acts 2:36-38; Romans 6:3-4; I Peter 3:20-21)

Thankfully, we live in a dispensation wherein we can count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus our Lord, for whom apostle Paul stated -- "For whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ." (Philippians 3:8; Jeremiah 9:21; Romans 10:3; Romans 1:17; Ephesians 1:19-20; Romans 6:3-5)

We can pray without ceasing, and rejoice in the Lord always, being careful for nothing, but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving -- the peace of God which passes all understanding keeping our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:1-7)

Therefore, in our day to day forget those things which are behind, and step into the place (the offering plate) whereby we can reach forth unto the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Let God reveal Himself unto you ... and let our conversation be in heaven, from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Study His Word -- give us this day our daily bread. And let the Lord reveal Himself to you, He who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. For He is the Head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all [things] He might have the preeminence ... for it pleased the Father that in Him should all fullness dwell! (Colossians 1:12-20)

"The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but THE LORD SHALL BE UNTO THEE an EVERLASTING LIGHT, and thy God thy glory. Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: FOR THE LORD SHALL BE THINE EVERLASTING LIGHT, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I may be glorified." (Isaiah 60:19-22)

"For GOD, WHO COMMANDED THE LIGHT TO SHINE out of darkness, hath SHINED in our hearts, to GIVE THE LIGHT OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF GOD IN THE FACE OF JESUS CHRIST ..." (II Corinthians 4:6) 

He is our all in all. Stand in the offering plate.
