I told you, I A new job on your fingers and go Minnesota.

and you'll have to forgive me, but

it's like, I just did my agent Reese back in Minneapolis, where I can So you can get slow below zero.

And it just didn't seem to get some snow and a Minnesota land of 10000 thinks. So there's lots of lots of something called

The ice will be like a like a foot. Auntie and you didn't take your cars only two cards, but you can take your trucks out on the ice and then what they do and that you will owe in my church had a fish house.

We had six corners and he had an affair.

And then you throw it outside and it doesn't, it is a fish up and take him home. So I'm one of those things.

There were lots of men and women who had really nice.

And the reason I don't like fishy cuz when I vote so call fishing it's called get your it's never catch anything. And so I had guys said you're going to catch lots of fish and I'm not every time I do. It's never been like this before. I can't believe it. I catch more fish than we don't catch any fish.

What are you talkin about Robinson? Quiet until stories. Like the fish in here, he agency down. So that sounds like so, so I don't finish, so if you want to go fish and you want to catch fish, don't take me with you. Don't take you with me, but I love the season. And during the season kind of good food, the gifts family coming together and it's a it's a wonderful wonderful time.

And again, love the story. I'm going to read part of the story and I'm going to read 31st. We're going to start on verse 26 of Luke chapter one and it's a fascinating story. So starting in those six month pregnancy.

A child. Go to a virgin pledged to be married to a man. Who was the descendant of David Maryland? Beach. Watch word and said you are. Highly favored. If you wanted me to Angels, show up at your house, please.

There's obviously a lot more to this story, reading here in the scripture. You have a young girl she's from maybe 13, 14, 15 years old, whatever she is, probably very young, her response would be, what is going on? We don't get that part of the story about angel says, greetings and you are highly favored, she would like that and I want you to know that the Lord is with you. But in the right thing to say you should have said this first right? Or they'll give you a sheet of said, don't don't you have favored on fever with God and you can give birth to a son and you were to call him Jesus. He will be great. The Lord God will give you the Throne of his father David and he said that's forever his kingdom. I want you to understand this. Merry and I'm not sure she could. Rehabbing his kingdom and she asked the right question. How is this going to be? Can you explain this to me? Why? What's going on here? Since I want you to know and he said to do to give oral to the angel, on the Virgin and the angel answered the most high will overshadow. Show. The holy want to be born will be called the son of God.

For no word from God will never fail. This woman is married. It's just such a her responses on the Lord's. Servant, the Lord's servant. May your words be to be fulfilled. Then the angel Gabriel tell Zachariah salt.

Why would he happened to her? But now

And what did she do? She says there

She's accepted miracle in her life, and I'm going to go talk. I'm going to go, talk to Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth, Elizabeth,

Baby. Elizabeth is filled with the Holy Spirit. Bob why she explained blessed? Are you among women? And blessed is the child. You will bear, but I am so favoured. But why am I? So feared would come to me as soon as the sound of your greetings, reach, my ears that the Lord has promised to What are the things that we've learned from, even though she's very young she is. And then she is also a person of the week. God may ask you to do something that's really very difficult to. What did you respond? You need to explain this or what you let. Somebody else do it. Then said, her response is not going to believe this promise, and I'm going to do it that she does. Something else as we read on the next passage of scripture, She starts singing. This woman is crazy. She should be singing a song of Joy but maybe a dirge. But listen to the song she sings my soul. Glorifies me. And my spirit rejoices in God my savior for boys that screwed here is in 2024 and who are we talking about things from four main, holy is his name, his Mercy extends to those who fear Him.

From generation to generation. He has performed in their inmost thoughts. He is brought down from their Thrones,

Abraham descendants forever. Just as in promise to our descendants, what happens? This young woman and she talks about is going to be protected and guess what? Again 2024.

That doesn't really have a whole lot.

And right there. That is proof that God exists and has promised before. God has his hand on the nation of Israel. That is incredible story. What are we flying? The prophetic voice of God is going to work from generation to generation. I was passionate Kenosha, Wisconsin, and we were part of a cow with a V. Is for your children to serve God, the greatest, the greatest disappointment. What a tragedy that your children not serving God and then night might work.

7 degrees choice.

Brightest grandchildren in all the world.

Picture smart. Your smile. And I'm really glad that you're smart. But you know, what would Solomon said? It's one thing to be smart and we've all met lots of really smart people, but they're not very wise in the midst of it. Here was a young and inexperienced, but obviously, I obviously got it and looking at her.

We make wise decisions every day as for me and my house, Joshua 24 wheels and in my greatest Joys see that my children and I want to believe it. My grandchildren are going to do then.

I was sharing with my team. My son is going to be having twins in Houston for me. I said, you know what, we like to do is weed like bamboo. They want a one and a half year old boy, they're going to have twin boys, can you imagine, I want you years old. I can't imagine. I can't imagine

Why do you think they want me to dinner?

We need help you ever been to Houston. It's hot but it's really I love you. Maybe I can spend some time with my grandchildren. Why is that? So that I might be able to have some kind of

Now, in a few weeks, I'm going to be there for Christmas and I'm praying about it. Every time I tell people, I'm praying that I got other plans for me. I'm going to get married. I'm going to have children. Have you ever had?

Well, that's exactly what happened. Maryland. And she's going to get married. And now all of a sudden, rest, some brother and his wife And he's going to, he's going to be.

Why doesn't say anything about joy and gladness? When I heard that my mydriverlog was going to have twin boys. I was filled with you. Like I don't think it was a lot of laughter on the other end of the pool.

Makes me so happy. I'm just filled with joy on this.

Add a lot of problems and we are going to do.

I actually preached on this, only God could weak Joseph. We would probably never use. I mean it's a weed card works. I just

I would have chosen may be a prominent family, somebody's really important.

You know, something else I would have never brought Jesus 2,000 years ago. Everybody.

What did God do with? He brought Jesus to this world, God's son. 2000 years ago. and what he said to Mary's, don't be a I don't like what's what's going to happen? He says you call this a favor. You call this a gift. I'm not so sure about this. You can erase the Lord has found favor in Flagstaff. And I think more than anything else.

More than anything else that you were chosen by God verse 34. And if she gets the answer, this something's going to happen.

Now, we find that this overshadowing happens throughout scripture. When the Israelites completed the construction of the Tabernacle,

Overshadow, the presence of the Holy Spirit, overshadowed the prosecution to the very marrow. Mary James, Peter James, and John, and this very presence of God other with some questions that she could ask me pregnant. God, why did you choose me? and then there's another question, she has to say, Can you?

And she had to go home and have work or meet him someplace and have this very difficult to choose. I can't imagine I want you to know I've been with nobody else and he had every right to bite her up. If you're going to be very, I'm not going to have any That would have been an interesting conversation. The other explain this to my parents.

Do you know what this is really nice, but I don't like to pass this on to somebody else. Let somebody else do it. I'm not going to do this. Just let somebody else so we could.

Why would I choose us?

Do you know what? Kind of jokes on you? He's chosen us. I really believe that God has a plan for me. It's easy for you to say well well, I passed you.

The gods Choose You. I was always too young and it seems like you're just right one day and then all the sudden,

We have all kinds of excuses. My God on. You just sleep. Just like, I look at the response. I am the Lord's servant. B2B reporting tools word, Mary had an amazing wisdom and humility for her young age Mary notes, you become pregnant soon and verse 39, that tells us she went with haste,

And I understand she's going through except for Elizabeth. No one else will be able to accept a maybe Elizabeth who is also present pregnant by a miracle from God. So how do we honor Mary and verse 45. It says it unless is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her?

We don't generate Mary like, so, do we honor, Mary, why? Cuz she was such an amazing person of faith. I'm trusting God, she breaks into song and vs46, my soul, doth magnify the Lord, and He is come to be not only your savior, but very says he has come to be my savior word. Magnify makes it really interesting. When you magnify something, you make it even bigger. And I don't think you maybe God finger than he already is. But really what it means by magnify. It says that it's fictive, the reality of God. As he has wrought iron, magnifying. I know that he's a great. Wonderful God. Get the Scotty's come down to be with us. Here's one. You look at the amazing perspective of marrying for he will. Call me blessed for he is mighty and he has done great things for me. And holy is his name and verse number 50. And his Mercy is for those who fear From generation to generation, already talked about that last into Everlasting to those who fear Him and throw him and his righteousness to Children's. What are you passing on? What are you giving sharing with others in verse 51? In one of his car, he was brought down the mighty from their Thrones and exalted though he is

amazing sisters to Grape and Grain store in this whole issue of you smelling there. But you also wanted use me. We see this in the scripture, the humility of Mary and Elizabeth David and Daniel and what holds more humble It's done because of God's grace. But you also looking at the scripture, what happens to the brown, he resists the proud like feral like Nebuchadnezzar like Jessabelle, he hobbles them, showing them, their power is

I always love to talk to people. Thank you. People who have so-called native in this world. and they talked about, I'll put them. Where they took, their company, or whatever, was from nothing to amazing Heights.

And I met many of them had many of the church and it was an opportunity for me then to talk about what happened.

and I want to say good with the vast majority of them, Devi, never forgot where they came from. I remember once when chilling in my church,

And after Sweeping in one of the individuals who would ultimately and then the Jumpman invited a man and he was promoted. He said

And I like some with you. And he said, I know what this company is worth. You want to sell it to me for you to have some money? Gentleman bought the company. He never forgot in a life. Angela didn't have to invite me in from the garage where I was working. He didn't, he didn't have to give me an opportunity working toward make phone calls. I want you to know that I'm going to sell this company. This is a friendly reminder for all of us. If you are faithful with little, he'll make you ruler over much more. So just be faithful where you are, where you at, don't worry about themselves. You have no idea of what kind of impact they have in memory. And I told the story before the gal who cut my hair, she would say a lot of freedom for people. You also get to lay your hands on their heads. You don't have to tell him you're praying and praying for everyone. And you know what they do, you ask questions and they tell their story, they tell the story.

Western a.m. what she did and the impact she had on.

Can I put sand on you? Mary, but God, nevertheless, has a task for you. A violet light Mary to be make a difference within the kingdom of God. No one else can warm that no one else can be you. For the more like married, you will only have accomplished that task that God has plans for you to say. How can I, how can I make a difference here? Sometimes, people think when I start serving, God is going to be easy. Here's would have been serving. God was not easy. It was not easy to think she never expected, which she did not understand. She also saw her son, who is Dennis understood, then fear and Hate by the so-called religious Roman soldiers. She continue to say God, you're amazing.

I went to a Christmas story were part of that this Christmas Story made for us. First of all, need to know that every one of us has potassium Plus Sorry, I just encourage you to humbly respond to gospel. I've seen this one. This is waiting on me.

Doors are open today, but they don't not building your kingdom. How can I prove the kingdom? We always say that I kingdom come thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. Periodically.

Need to get a fresh perspective. When God wants to do given this place with you and it may seem impossible but God is always wanting to do something. With the Apostle. What about the

No, I always like to get this perspective and we go within the surrounding of this building, how many people live in 100,000 people? That's, that's too conservative 100,000 people in church. Today, they're talking about 15 to 20. So that means that 85% of the people who live within
