In like a lion- out like a lamb, as the old saying goes. That was our March here. The wind, like the month just blew past.. So thankful for the beautiful skies, the squirrels playing, and the many different spices of birds singing in our trees. God's Beauty at work. #3 Unexpected Assignment’s *Step into our unexpected assignments, into our purpose Do we have room in our lives for God to interrupt our life to fulfill His purpose through us? Many times we want a visitation from God but, not an interruption, something that changes our plans to the unknown. Those Interruptions comes with an invitation … God is Inviting us to His purpose. I'm sure you've had those experiences whether simply or drastically. Change is not always an easy breeze. It can take all that you have in you and even more of God in you to make it through, but it is always a blessing in the hindsight of things. Mary was given unexpected assignment Luke 1:26 -45 The Birth of Jesus Foretold//Mary Visits Elizabeth 1. God chose to interrupt Mary’s Life to fulfil His Purpose a. "Do not be afraid, you are highly favored (she was chosen to fulfill a purpose) 2. He gave Mary an invitation to an unexpected Assignment a. "you will conceive and give birth to a son. and you will call him Jesus. 3. Mary accepts: Luke 1:38 “according to thy word” a. “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” 4. The plan became evident of it’s fulfillment and purpose John1:14 The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. Not everything will be evident of its fulfillment and certainly not at the level of Mary's Purpose. To do what God has called you to do, you must break free of the paralyzing grip of fear so you can move forward in Faith, Trust that He has your back. We have to put more faith in the promises of God than in our “what If”. Faith is not the bases of fear but the presence of a stronger God, as Nothing is impossible with God. Jer. 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. The unpredictable; the uncomfortable; the unknown; the uncertain; the unexplainable; and the unexpected rests with Him. There is No problems to hard -God can’t solve No person to far –God can’t save No mountain to big – God Cannot move No disease to great – God cannot heal No relationship that God cannot restore No need to great for God to meet We need to welcome the interruptions and unexpected assignments to be effective and fruitful, not just to live John 15: 8 - this is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
