The Influence
The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
Luke 1:35
This was the message delivered to Mary when the angel announced the birth of Jesus to her. The message is 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
The birth of Jesus was a miracle, something impossible happened. That is Mary conceived without any relationship with man.
This was all possible because the power of the Holy Spirit overshadowed her. The word overshadowed in Greek means to influence.
So you can read this verse as 'the power of Most High influenced her'. This same Holy Spirit is given to us.
In John 14:16 Jesus said Holy Spirit is given to us as a helper, an influencer, who can do the impossible in our life.
Christmas is the message of God doing the impossible.
Like Mary, you are chosen too to do what God has planned. So do not be dismayed and discouraged if life has come at you harshly.
Just believe. The Holy Spirit is at work in your life. He will overshadow you and what is impossible will become possible.
