LUKE 1:26-38 I'M BLESSED

INTRODUCTION

WHEN WE ARE WALKING WITH CHRIST, THERE ARE TIMES THAT HE WILL DISRUPT OUR LIVE

WE DO NOT LIKE TO BE DISRUPTED

WE HAVE OUR OWN PLANS, BUT THEN HERE COMES GOD

AND YOU HAVE TO TRUST HIM THAT HIS PLAN IS BETTER THAN YOURS

BUT, SOME PEOPLE ARE DETERMINED TO DO IT OUR OWN WAY

THIS YOUNG GIRL HAD WAITED SEVERAL YEARS OF HER LIFE

SHE HAD KEPT HERSELF PURE, RESISTING HER CARNAL NATURE

PURITY WAS IMPORTANT IN BIBLE DAYS

MARY WASN’T WORRIED BECAUSE EVERYTHING WAS GOING ACCORDING TO PLAN

BUT, THEN, HERE COMES GOD

RATHER, HERE COMES THE ANGEL AND ANNOUNCES THAT SHE IS BLESSED AMONG WOMEN

THINK ABOUT YOUR LIFE AND THE WAYS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN BLESSED

SOME OF US HAVE RISEN AGAINST ALL CIRCUMSTANCES TO BE BLESSED

SOME OF YOU SHOULDN’T BE HERE RIGHT NOW, BUT GOD STEPPED IN

SOME OF US SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD OR IN JAIL, BUT SOMEHOW GOD BROUGHT HIS FAVOR AND BLESSED YOU

TELL YOUR NEIGHBOR, I’M BLESSED

I’LL GIVE YOU 2 WAYS TO BE BLESSED

1. RECEIVE IT

WHEN THE ANGEL CAME TO HER, HE CHALLENGED HER CIRCUMSTANCES

THAT WHAT GOD’S WORD DOES

THE ANGEL DOES NOT SAY THAT, YOU WILL BE BLESSED

HE SAYS, YOU ARE BLESSED RIGHT NOW

RIGHT NOW

YOU SHALL BRING FORTH A SON

AND SHE STRUGGLED TO RECEIVE THE WORD-SHE WAS TROUBLED AT HIS SAYING

I DON’T FEEL PREGNANT, LOOK PREGNANT, APPEAR PREGNANT

BUT, THAT IS WHY THE ANGEL CAME

THERE WON’T BE ANY SIGNS AND NO SOUNDS, BUT I WILL BRING IT TO PASS

THAT IS HOW YOU KNOW THAT GOD DID IT, WHEN THERE IS NO EVIDENCE, ONLY HIS WORD

HE SAID, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A SON

AND SHE SAID, HOW CAN THESE THINGS BE SEEING THAT I DO NOT KNOW A MAN

THIS IS OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH GOD AND RECEIVING THE WORD

WE WANT THE CONFIRMATION OF MAN AND IF WE DON’T GET IT, WE HAVE A PROBLEM RECEIVING GOD’S WORD

HOW CAN I BE RICH WHEN MAN SAYS I’M POOR

HOW CAN I BE STRONG WHEN MAN SAYS I’M WEAK

HOW CAN I BE ABOVE WHEN MAN SAYS THAT I AM BENEATH

HOW CAN I BE VICTORIOUS, HAVE PEACE, JOY WHEN I AM GOING THROUGH A SEASON OF DEPRESSION

THAT IS WHY THE ANGEL CAME

GOD DOESN’T NEED A MAN TO DO WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

HE WILL DO IT ALL BY HIMSELF

YOU MAY FEEL LONELY, BUT HE WILL DO IT, REJECTED, TROUBLED, AFRAID, BUT GOD WILL DO IT

YOU DON’T NEED ANYONE BUT GOD

YOU DO NOT NEED A MAN TO AUTHORIZE IT

PEOPLE DON’T EVEN HAVE TO LIKE YOU, IF GOD WANTS TO DO IT HE WILL DO IT

FOR GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD

RECEIVE IT

ALL BY YOURSELF

RECEIVE IT

WITH PEOPLE JEALOUS

RECEIVE IT

WITH PEOPLE GOSSIPING

RECEIVE IT

\WHEN THEY DON’T EVEN LIKE YOU

YOU HAVE TO RECEIVE IT

MARY SAYS, BE IT UNTO ME ACCORDING TO.........MY GIRLFRIEND, MY FEELING, MY PRAYER PARTNER

NO, ACCORDING TO THY WORD

YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE TO JOIN THE BLESS ME CLUB

I AM BLESSED

BE IT UNTO ME

BE IT UNTO ME

I DON’T KNOW HOW IT WILL BE WITH YOU BUT BE IT UNTO ME

IF THE WORD IS NOT SICK, WEAK, DOESN’T FAIL, GIVE UP, QUIT, I WILL NOT QUIT

NO CANCER IN THE WORD, NO SUICIDE INTHE WORD, NO SPONDOLITIS IN THE WORD

BE IT UNTO ME ACCORDING TO THY WORD

NOT ACCORDING TO MY FEELINGS

I’VE NEVER SEEN SO MANY PEOPLE WALKING IN THEIR FEELINGS

I DON’T FEEL LIKE SMILING, GOING, FORGIVING, FIGHTING

NOBODY ASKED YOU HOW YOU FEEL

BE IT UNTO ME.......

THIS IS NOT AN OUTSIDE JOB, IT IS INSIDE

UNTIL THE WORD PENETRATES YOUR FLESH, YOU CANNOT PRODUCE

THERE IS NO SIGN BUT I AM WHAT GOD SAID THAT I AM

THE MOMENT MARY RECEIVED IT, IT DISRUPTED HER LIFE

IF SHE DIDN’T RECEIVE IT, SHE WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEE JOSEPH

THE GOSSIPERS WOULDN’T BE TALKING ABOUT HER

THE MOMENT THAT SHE RECEIVED IT ALL HELL BROKE LOSE

SHE RAN UP TO JOSEPH AND SAID, LET ME TELL YOU WHAT THE LORD DID

AND JOSEPH LOOKED AT HER AND SAID I’M SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE THAT YOU PREGNANT BY GOD

DO I LOOK THAT STUPID

YEAH, I KNOW THAT YOU’VE BEEN WITH THE LORD

JOSEPH WAS GOING TO GET A DIVORCE AND HE HAD EVERY RIGHT TO

HE STARTED PLANNING A DIVORCE

EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT MARY

MARY WENT TO ELISABETH’S HOUSE BECAUSE ELISABETH HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE

ELISABETH HASN’T LEFT THE HOUSE FOR 6 MONTHS

THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT HER HAVING A BABY

BUT, JOSEPHUS SAYS THAT THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT IN ELISABETH’S WOMB

MAYBE SHE REALLY WASN’T PREGNANT

THERE’S NO MOVEMENT IN MY WOMB

I HAVE NO INNER WITNESS THAT THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER

HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT THAT THIS REALLY ISN’T FOR ME

AND MARY KNOCKS ON THE DOOR BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER DOOR TO KNOCK ON

NO ONE ELSE WOULD LET HER IN

HER OWN FIANCEE WOULD NOT LET HER IN

THE ONLY OPEN DOOR FOR HER IS AN OLD WOMAN

A YOUNG WOMAN COMES TO AN OLD WOMAN

GENERATIONS COMING TOGETHER

YOU NEED TO TALK TO PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE SAME EXPERIENCE

WE DO NOT HAVE AN HIGH PRIEST.................FEELINGS OF MY ...

THAT’S WHAT I LOVE ABOUT JESUS, HE KNOWS HOW I’M FEELING RIGHT NOW

MARY KNOCKED ON THE DOOR

ELISABETH OPENED THE DOOR BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS AN OLD FOOL

SHE OPENED THE DOOR AND THE OLD AND THE YOUNG CAME TOGETHER

IRON CAME TOGETHER WITH IRON

MARY IS KNOCKING AND ELISABETH IS OPENING BECAUSE SHE IS READY TO RECEIVE

WHEN PEOPLE FORSAKE YOU, YOU APPRECIATE WHO ACCEPTS YOU

THERE IS NOTHING WORSE THAN GIVING YOURSELF TO PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT READY TO RECEIVE WHAT YOU HAVE

MARY IS KNOCKING BECAUSE SHE HAS SOMETHING TO GIVE

ELISABETH OPENS BECAUSE THE TIMING IS RIGHT

HE MAKES ALL THINGS BEAUTIFUL IN HIS TIME

GOD DOES EVERYTHING AT THE RIGHT TIME

GOD KNOWS WHEN

GOD HAD PREPARED ELISABETH FOR MARY AND MARY FOR ELISABETH

AND WHEN THE DOOR OPENED SOMETHING HAPPENED

WHERE 2 OR 3 ARE GATHERED TOGETHER......

WHEN THEY MADE CONTACT THE OT TOUCHED THE NT

LAW KISSED GRACE

MERCY KISSED TRUTH

JOHN HADN’T MOVED IN 6 MONTHS, BUT WHEN THEY GREETED ONE ANOTHER

JOHN STARTED JUMPING BECAUSE MARY’S BABY JESUS WAS RESURRECTION AND LIFE

IT WAS THE COMING TOGETHER OF TWO COVENANTS, BUT THEY BROKE THE LAW

IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT BEFORE THE CRUCIFIXION

BUT JOHN WENT FROM BEING DEAD ONE MOMENT TO BEING FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT THE NEXT MOMENT

YOU CAN MEET THE RIGHT PERSON ONE MOMENT AND HE CAN TURN YOUR LIFE AROUND

I MADE A DECISION, IF YOU DON’T MAKE MY BABY LEAP, I’M NOT KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR

BECAUSE IF YOU ARE CARRYING JESUS, IF YOU ARE CARRYING RESURRECTION AND LIFE

MY DREAM WILL LEAP, BUSINESS, CAREER, STUDIES, JOB, FAMILY, FINANCES

I WON’T SPEND 1 MORE YEAR AROUND DEAD PEOPLE

AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE..........

I FEEL MOVEMENT, I FEEL MOVEMENT

REJECTED, BUT I FEEL MOVEMENT, CRITICIZED, PASSED OVER, NOT NOTICED

IF YOU HAVE BEEN THROUGH A DEAD SEASON AND YOU FEEL SOME MOVEMENT RIGHT NOW

GET UP AND GIVE GOD A PRAISE, I WILL BLESS THE LORD AT ALL TIMES

THE STILLNESS IS OVER (REPEAT 4 X’S)

2. REDEEMED

HAVE YOU EVER NEEDED SOMETHING AND GOT REJECTED

MARY IS GETTING CLOSE TO DELIVERY

JOSEPH IS RUNNING OUT OF TIME

THEY ARE NOT WELCOMED AT THE INN

HE LOOKS AND SEES A BARN IN THE DISTANCE

HOW COULD GOD GIVE ME A KING AND BIRTH HIM IN A CASTLE

WHAT IS GOD TELLING US ABOUT THE PLACES THAT HE CHOSES TO BIRTH GREATNESS

HOW COULD YOU BRING SOMETHING SO HOLY INTO SOMETHING THAT IS SO FILTHY

THAT’S THE GOSPEL-THE GOOD NEWS

HIS HOLINESS COMES INTO MY FILTHINESS

GOD BIRTHS HIS MIRACLES IN MANGERS

HE WAS THE LAMB OF GOD WHO WOULD TAKE AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD

LAMBS ARE BORN IN BARNS

MARY BIRTHED THE THING THAT WOULD BIRTH HER

SHE DELIVERED THE THING THAT WOULD DELIVER HER

SHE NURSED THE CHILD THAT WOULD NURSE HER

SHE BLESSED THE ONE WHO WOULD BLESS YOU

THE REASON THAT THE DEVIL DOESN’T WANT YOU TO BIRTH IT BECAUSE IT WILL BIRTH YOU

WHAT WAS IN MARY WOULD DELIVER HER

THE THING THAT IS IN YOU WILL DELIVER YOU

CHRIST IN YOU THE HOPE OF GLORY

GOD DOESN’T NEED ANYTHING IN ME TO DELIVER THE THING THAT IS IN YOU

WHEN YOU PUSH OUT WHAT IS IN YOU IT WILL DELIVER YOU

YOUR GIFT WILL MAKE ROOM FOR YOU AND.....

YOUR GIFT

SO WHEN THE ROOM IS MADE NO ONE WILL GET THE CREDIT

THE REJECTION IS ABOUT ROOM

THERE WAS NO ROOM IN THE INN

WHEN SHE BIRTHED CHRIST, DIDN’T HE MAKE ROOM FOR HER

WHAT ARE YOU CARRYING INSIDE OF YOU THAT WILL ANSWER THE PRAYER

INSIDE OF YOU

THE ANSWER TO YOUR PRAYER IS YOUR PROMISE

YOU MAY BE IN THE PROCESS BUT DON’T GIVE UP

PEOPLE SEE WHAT HAPPENS ON THE OUTSIDE WHEN THE COST IS ON THE INSIDE

DON’T DESPISE THE DAY OF SMALL BEGINNINGS

THE GOVERNMENT SHALL BE UPON HIS SHOULDERS

HE PUTS GREAT THINGS ONTO SMALL LIVES
