The most important response
Good morning brothers and sisters. We will be looking at the last response. This one is the most important. It teaches us a valuable lesson. Luke 1. 39- Now Mary arouse in those days and went into the hill country with haste, to a city of Judah,. Mary is in a hurry. She knows what she was told by the angel of the Lord. She has to go in a haste to tell. 40- and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. She went to the one person that would truly understand the miracle that was growing inside her. She went to the one person who also would believe her because this household had the same encounter. Now do take notice that she only greeted Elizabeth. 41- And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Just Mary's voice made this baby excited. Now also notice that Elizabeth was filled with Holy Spirit. We must remember the Jesus has sent it to the world yet. But those who found favor in the eyes of the Lord, received it. This is not the first time someone received the Holy Spirit before Jesus came. This shows us that God has always wanted to live inside us. That He has always communicated to our Spirit. 42- Then she spoke out with a loud voice and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43- But why is this granted to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? Elizabeth doesn't understand why she is included in this special blessing. But she also is carrying a babe of high importance. Not Jesus importance but very important none the less. This little baby has a special purpose and a plan. God is correct when He speaks of knowing us when we are in the womb. 44- For indeed, as soon as the voice of your greeting sounded in my ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 45- Blessed is she who believed, for there will be fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord." Now that is the kind of response we should have when we just here the name of Jesus. We should leap for joy. We should leap for joy when He calls us. The Spirit of God comes and rest within you. The Spirit of God wants to know the spirit of the human. This is why it is so important to take off the flesh and not live with the world. The world can block out that spirit to spirit talking. And when you have the Spirit of God within you, you will know others who have the Spirit of God within them. Have a blessed day! Rise up child of God, rise up!
