So I guarantee you she was favored and highly blessed no matter how difficult it was, no matter how many battles she had to fight, no matter how many times she had to talk herself into it because God said she was blessed and highly favored.

And God says you are blessed and highly favored.

You are blessed and highly favored.

You may be going through some difficult times right now.

Your plans may be interrupted, but I want you to hear that loud and clear.

God chose to live in Mary and God chose to live in you.

God chose to live in you.

That's powerful.

That's powerful.

Because Mary fulfilled her assignment and brought fulfillment to the scriptures,

God chose to live in his people.

I believe that was a foreshadowing of what God wants to do in the earth.

He wants to live in his people.

But as soon as Mary accepted that seed of promise, the scripture says that she immediately went to her cousin Elizabeth's house.

Now, her cousin Elizabeth was married to a man named Zachariah, and they were promised, even in her very old age, that she would have a baby.

She was pregnant with her baby when Elizabeth got there.

And when Elizabeth saw Mary, the scripture said that she immediately began to encourage Mary.

She immediately began to speak faith into Mary.

Now, where am I going with this?

Because see, that was a long time ago.
