Summary: Mary was engaged to Joseph usually this engagement lasted 1 year. Engagement can be a very exciting thing. Love between two, Long conversations about the future. Plans about the Honeymoon, Where will we live, etc?

Romans 8:9NIV You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.

The angel continues to proclaim over Joesph—

Matthew 1:21TM She will bring a son to birth, and when she does, you, Joseph, will name him Jesus—‘God saves’—because he will save his people from their sins.”

If we had the opportunity to ask Joseph, He would be like, “My wife is carrying the Messiah, Jesus, Savior of the world.”

I wonder how that went?

Mary was a special person, she was filled with integrity, She was humble, She listened, She believed, She was a virgin etc.

Romans 5:8-9TPT  But Christ proved God’s passionate love for us by dying in our place while we were still lost and ungodly!

9 And there is still much more to say of his unfailing love for us! For through the blood of Jesus we have heard the powerful declaration, “You are now righteous in my sight.” And because of the sacrifice of Jesus, you will never experience the wrath of God.

Just as Joseph and Mary had a role to play in life, you do too.

* He’s called you to be faithful.

* He’s called you to be loving.

He’s called you to a life of Love, Prayer and Grace.

My thought—You remain fruitful, and He will do the rest. Why? Because He knows best.

Romans 5:9c…because of the sacrifice of Jesus, you will never experience the wrath of God.

Matthew 1:22-23TPT This happened to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through his prophet: 23 Listen! A virgin will be pregnant, she will give birth to a Son, and he will be known as—

“Emmanuel,” which means in Hebrew, “God became one of us.”

Isaiah 7:14TPT The Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold—the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son and will name him God Among Us.

Wow, think about that, “This Jesus, became—God with us.”

Isaiah 9:6NKJV For unto us a Child is born,

Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Before you make any major decision remember, you have—God with us. Emanuel.

The Apostle Paul wrote in, Galatians 3:13-14TPT Yet, Christ paid the full price to set us free from the curse of the law. He absorbed the curse completely as he became a curse in our place. For it is written: “Everyone who is hung upon a tree is cursed.” 14 Jesus Christ dissolved the curse from our lives, so that in him all the blessings of Abraham can be poured out upon gentiles. And now through faith we receive the promised Holy Spirit who lives in us.

Say, Emanuel!

Matthew 1:24-25TPT When Joseph woke from his dream, he did all that the angel of the Lord instructed him to do. He took Mary to be his wife, 25 but they refrained from having sex until she gave birth to her firstborn son, whom they named “Jesus.”

Mary and Joseph gave miracle birth—It took 3.

Think about it, Almost everyday of our life we have chances to give miracle-birth to something.
