"This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit." (Matthew 1:18)
Each year my wife and I pray for God to give us a "word" for the upcoming year. In 2005, the Lord gave my wife the word "expectancy" and this year he gave me the word "fulfillment."
As most of you know Jodi is pregnant and about to give birth to a baby girl. For the past 9 months we've been "expecting" something. We've been expecting a promise to be fulfilled. There were pains that Jodi has been going through since her pregnancy but she is "expecting" a promise to be fulfilled that will make it worth it.
Did you know that you can be spiritually "expecting"? Spiritually pregnant? What has God promised you? There is a word that God has spoken over your life that you conceived and now you are spiritually impregnanted by that promise and you are waiting for that promise to come forth. It may seem like it's been taking a while but you are spiritually pregnant, it takes time. It may seem like its taken awhile to come forth. To manifest. To come to pass. To be fulfilled but it's coming forth because you are spiritually pregnant. Sure it may hurt while the time passes. There may be pain, there may be trials but it will be all worth it when the promise of God for your life gives birth!
Are you expecting?
