 So let's just take some time to pray before we start, right? And as we pray, let's pray in the Spirit, which is praying in the Holy Ghost, which is praying in tongues, right? So let's take some time to pray. Now those of us who can pray in tongues, pray in the Spirit, just want to encourage us to just go ahead and start praying in tongues, praying in the Spirit. Now the Bible declares that when we pray in the Spirit, that we are being edified, we are being strengthened, right? There is spiritual strength coming in as we pray in the Spirit. So let's begin to pray in the Spirit, okay? Maybe we can all stand, those of us who are here, and we all stand up, okay? And just begin to pray in the Spirit, pray loud enough so that you can hear, you yourself can hear, and just begin to pray, right? Let's pray. Father, we thank you, Lord. Yes, Lord, we just come at this time into your mighty hands, Lord, and, yes, Lord, The Bible says that the Spirit man is being edified. We receive revelation, the mysteries of God in our Spirit as we pray in tongues. The Bible also declares that sometimes we don't know what we should pray for as we ought, right? We see that in Romans chapter 8. But the Holy Spirit makes intercessions for us. The Holy Spirit Himself, He makes intercession for us in crownings, right? Again, so let's begin to pray. Let's continue to pray. And as we bring, let's expect, you know, the Holy Spirit to speak to us. Let's expect strength to come into our spirit, our human body. Let's expect refreshing. Let's expect renewal. Let's expect answers as we pray. Thank you, Lord. We bless your name, God. We bless your name. Yes, Father, God, thank you for the rest. We thank you for the refreshing, God. We thank you for the strength. Thank you for the renewing. Father, we thank you, Lord. We thank you that you are with us. Lord, and Lord, praying in and through us, Lord, we thank you for the gift of praying in tongues. And Lord, we thank you. What a privilege it is to be in your presence, Lord. Father, God, we thank you for the refreshing that has come upon us, that is coming upon us. Lord, we thank you for the strength. Lord, we thank you for the edification, Lord. We thank you, Lord, for the clarity, Lord, in our thoughts, in our minds, Father God, even as we pray in the spirit, Lord, we thank you. We give you all the praise, all the glory. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen, amen. Please be seated. Those of us who are standing, just want to encourage us, for those of us who, you know, who can pray in the spirit, can pray in tongues, to continue to pray, right? To continue to pray in tongues, to pray extended hours, maybe extended times, praying in the spirit, right? So it's for our good, and he has given us, the God has given this as a gift for our good, for our benefit, right? And as we pray, we will realize, we will, we will, you know, realize or we will feel the refreshing and the strength coming into our hearts, right? So let's not neglect the gift, but let's move in it, right? More and more, okay? So today, today's class, let's continue from where we stopped last class. So from last class, what is it that you personally understood? What is it that you personally, one thing that you understood, one thing that you learned? Anyone? You know, online class also. What is that one thing that you learned, one thing that you understood? You wrote it on the chat, okay? What is, maybe just one thing, you can put your hand up and then you can, yeah, yeah. What is that? No, last class, last class. That was the first class, about Trinity. Last class, any one thing that you remember, just one thing. We spent two hours, last class, yeah. You can sit and, yeah. What did you understand from that? See, we learned that the Holy Spirit was with the Old Testament people, prophets, you know, of the Old Testament people of God. Holy Spirit always works, okay? He works among people upon people. Anyone else? Whenever there is some need, okay? Yeah, whenever there was a need or whenever there was an assignment that God had for the people, that the Holy Spirit, you know, he would come and he would enable them to fulfill that, right? That is something that we saw. And like you said, yes, visions and dreams and all that, you know, the Lord would speak, yeah. Okay, I see here, the Holy Spirit is a person, is something, okay, we learned. What is that? Is there no pride? Okay, can you just explain that? Sorry, I didn't understand. Okay, then one more thought here is that God is omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient. Okay, that is something that we learned I think in the first class, Lucy. Daniel, Holy Spirit intervenes us in prayer. Okay, okay, that's a bit general, but in the Old Testament, what did we learn? What did we understand? Anyone else? Serene, anything that we learned last class? Nonsense. Okay, just want to encourage us to, okay, Gertrude, the Holy Spirit inspired the people, the artisans, right, to build and specific skills, especially in the cutting of jewels and craftsmanship, workmanship, the Holy Spirit gave, right? We looked at the person, Bezalel, who's mentioned in the book of Exodus, and we see that he was empowered by the Holy Spirit. Okay, so Esther is saying pride is totally unacceptable. Remember as, okay. Okay, now I don't know in what context we looked at that about pride. Okay, Holy Spirit worked in the lives of Moses, which, yeah, if you can be a little more specific in what ways that you work, that you understood, that will be great as well. Okay, so today also we would, you know, we'd look at a few more, you know, few more ways in which the Holy Spirit worked. See, we saw that Holy Spirit as creator, we saw Holy Spirit as the creative God, we saw Holy Spirit as the Empowerer, enabling them to do certain things that they should not do, you know, in the natural. Like for example, we saw that, you know, about Elijah or Elisha, I think it was about Elisha, right, where this person has this conversation and he's saying, you know, Elijah's giving this instruction, go tell the king, go tell the king that you met with me. And then he says, you know, how will it be? You know, if I go and if I go tell him that I saw you, the Spirit of God will take you to another place, right? So we saw that, that supernaturally, that people could be transported, right? And that is something that we see in the Book of Acts also, that the Spirit of God would do that, right? Something supernatural, something miraculous, okay? And then the last thing that we saw was about how the Holy Spirit gave the blueprint, right? That's something that we saw. What blueprint of what? The design for the temple, the entire design in terms of, you know, how should be the dimensions be, what should go where, the entire dimensions for the temple, measurements, the design, was given to David, right? And David was able to pass that on to Solomon. So the Spirit of God actually did that, right? Okay, so today let's look at a few more things. How the Spirit of God came upon certain people and they were led to prophesy. We are going to look at 2 Chronicles, chapter 15. So keep your Bibles handy. We're going to look at a few more scriptures. 2 Chronicles, chapter 15. And we are reading verse 1 onwards. It says, Now the Spirit of God came upon Azariah, okay? Now the Spirit of God came upon Azariah, the son of Odeb, and he went out to meet Asa and said to him, Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin, the Lord is with you while you are with him. So he goes there and gives a message from God's heart, okay? So what happens 2 Chronicles, chapter 15 and verse 1? 2 Chronicles, Old Testament, Old Testament, 2 Chronicles, chapter 15, verse 1. Okay, so this is what happens. The Spirit of God came upon this person, Azariah, and he was moved to share. Okay, do you remember what happened to King Saul when the Spirit of God came upon him? What did he do? He prophesied, right? Was he a prophet? No, but the Spirit of God came upon him and he prophesied, right? That is what we learned, right? Okay, so, okay. Thank you, Cyril. And those of you who have the notes, you can just follow through in the notes. The scripture reference is there as well. Okay, so, and so on. We see that the Spirit of God came upon Jehaziel. Now, this is something that we see. We move on to chapter 20, same 2 Chronicles, chapter 20. Now, this is about King Jehoshaphat, right? And we know that, I don't know if you remember that story or what happened there. He, the kings are attacking and so he does something. He does something very radical. He places or puts the worship team in front of the people who are worshipping, who are worshippers, who are singing, the musicians. He puts them in front of the army, okay? But this is before that happens, okay? This is what happened. 2 Chronicles chapter 20 and verse 14 says, then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jehaziel, okay? The Spirit of the Lord came upon Jehaziel and then he goes and verse 15 and he said, listen all of, all you of Judah and you inhabitants, thus says the Lord God to you. Okay, so what is he doing? The Spirit of the Lord comes upon Jehaziel and so he says, it's mentioned here, the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jehaziel. Verse 14, right? Verse 15 and he said, listen all of you, Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem and you King Jehoshaphat, thus says the Lord to you. Do not be afraid, not dismayed because of this great multitude for the battle is not yours but God's. Okay, so what in other words, yeah, thank you, thank you so little, page 10, right? In the notes, thank you. So in other words, what did Jehaziel do when the Spirit of the Lord came upon him? That's the question, right? The Spirit of the Lord came upon him, we see that in verse 14 and verse 15, he does something, so what does he do? He says something, what does he do? He's again prophesying, right? He's speaking the heart and mind of God. What God wants him to convey or speak, he is speaking, he's speaking to the people and to the King, right? This is what he says. Thus says the Lord God to you and he says, do not be afraid, just this Lord God to you and then he says, do not be afraid, not dismayed because the battle is the Lord's and don't be afraid of the multitude and so on. Just one second, sorry. Okay, so we see that that's a frequent occurrence. Spirit of the Lord comes upon the people and they did something or they spoke something and they moved in ways that it was not humanly possible. Here comes a message and this message, what kind of a message is it? What kind of a prophecy? If you read verse 15, what is it? Read verse 15. Anyone? Yeah? Yeah, so yeah, okay. So he's saying, don't be afraid, don't be dismayed. So it's a comforting message, right? It's a comforting message and also it's a message which is prophetic because it's foretelling what is actually going to happen. It's foretelling saying this battle is the Lord's which means the outcome of this battle belongs to God. It's a very comforting message, so that's what the Lord comes upon him and he shares, he speaks the comforting message and it's also a message which foretells or tells in advance how the end will be. Yeah? So he says this battle is the Lord's. Okay, so we see similar patterns in several other books as well in Nehemiah and Nehemiah testifies about and when he's talking, he's talking about the Israelites and how the Spirit of God instructed them. In Job we see, in the Psalms also we see several references about the Holy Spirit. So for us to, you can go through the notes, you can refer to these scriptures, right? For us to understand that the works of the Holy Spirit is not just in the book of Acts, but we see right through the Old Testament. Right through the Old Testament. Okay, and we see a difference, of course we're going to talk about the difference, but we see when the Holy Spirit came upon people, he enabled them, he caused them to do various things. Prophecy was one of them. He gave them abilities. He gave them physical abilities. He gave them design, creativity and so many other things. He caused people, we read that, right? He gathered the people under David. He gathered them, brought them together. So so many other things. He gave them the ability for leadership. So Moses laid hands on Joshua and the Spirit of God came upon Joshua so that Joshua could lead the people just like Moses did. So leadership, ability. What else did we see? Interpretation of dreams, right? We saw that nobody else could, first of all we learned that the Holy Spirit, God, is the one who was conveying or communicating a message through dreams, right? He was giving the Pharaoh a dream and he gave the interpretation of that to Joseph. What is the meaning of the dream? What we should do? All that he gave to Joseph. So we see that the Holy Spirit moves or ministered in so many ways, right? He spoke, so we understand. He corrected through prophet Nathan. He brought a message of correction to David, right? Okay, let's move on. I just want us to move on to Ezekiel, okay? If you look at Ezekiel, we see a very unusual way in which Ezekiel describes how the Holy Spirit dealt with him or how the Holy Spirit interacted with him, okay? In a very physical manner. Okay, let's go to Ezekiel, chapter 2 and verse 2. Okay, Ezekiel chapter 2, verse 2. Then the Spirit entered me when he spoke to me and set me on my feet and I heard him who spoke to me. Okay, so the prophet Ezekiel is writing about how the Holy Spirit interacted with him or dealt with him. He says the Spirit of God entered me and he set me on my feet. What does that mean? It means that he literally, the Holy Spirit lifted him up and caused him to stand up straight on his legs, okay? So he lifted him up, entered him and did something physical with him. So sometimes we think, oh, God will not do that. Well, God did, right? He literally lifted the prophet physically and made him stand on his feet. Okay, if you look at chapter 3 and verse 12, you see a similar thing. Then the Spirit lifted me up and I heard behind me a great, thunderous voice. Blessed is the glory of the Lord from his place. So the Spirit of God lifted him up physically, right? Again in verse 14, so the Spirit lifted me up and took me away. Okay, so we see the Holy Spirit lifted him up and Ezekiel testifies and he says, the Holy Spirit took me away. Verse 14, took me away and I went in bitterness in the heat of my Spirit, but the hand of the Lord was strong upon me. Okay, so that's another usage that we see in the Old Testament, the hand of the Lord came upon me. Okay, which refers to the presence of God, which refers to the presence of the Holy Spirit and the work of the Holy Spirit in a person. Okay, we'll see that. You will see this over and over again. The hand of the Lord came upon him. Okay, what does that mean? That means that it's as if you put a hand on someone, that person can actually feel your hand, right? The hand of the Lord came upon me. He says, the hand of the Lord was strong upon me, which means he felt the presence of the Lord. He felt the presence of the Holy Spirit. So he says, Holy Spirit lifted me up and he took me away. Okay, so he did this and several other references that we see in Ezekiel, you know, similar to this, right? Let's look at chapter 8 verses 1 to 3. Okay, and so verse 3, he stretched out the form of a hand and took me by a lock of my hair and the Spirit lifted me up between heaven and earth and brought me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the front, sorry, to the door of the north gate of the inner court, et cetera. So here he's having a supernatural encounter with God. This is what is happening, right? So he's again lifted up. He's brought in visions. So the Spirit of God is communicating or conveying something to him, okay, a message and it's in the form of visions. What is a vision? What is a vision? Anyone? Can you say, you know, vision? What is a vision? What does that mean? We said, we read Joel 22, 28, right? The Holy Spirit pour out of the Spirit and then the Bible talks about how young men will dream dreams and see visions and so on. So what is the vision? Anyone? Okay, something that is visible, something real, right? Something that you see, something like a picture or something like a video, a vision, right? Okay, revelation about future, visible in a vision. Thank you, Esther. It could be about anything. It could be about past, present, future, right? But it's something that the Lord is conveying in the form of a picture or in the form of a moving picture which is like a video. So he says here, Ezekiel says, the Lord, Spirit of God took me, okay, he lifted me up and he took me in visions which means that he was literally taken to this place in Jerusalem but it was in the vision. No, it was not something that, it was not that physically but something that happened to him in visions. Okay, so we see all this happening. We see similar things in Daniel and so on, okay? So for us, it's important for us to understand that the Holy Spirit moves right through Scripture. We see the Holy Spirit working powerfully right through the Old Testament, right? For us to understand that it's not just one way in which God the Holy Spirit works but in diverse ways, in different ways, right? More than what we can even imagine, right? Or fathom, right? In all these ways, God the Holy Spirit works. And we are studying because we are talking about the person of the Holy Spirit, the person and power of the Holy Spirit. We need to understand, right? In the Old Testament, there is mention of the Holy Spirit. It is right through the Old Testament and these are the ways in which he worked and he came upon people. That's the frequent occurrence that we see. He came upon people and caused people to do certain things, to say certain things, okay? And that's all for his purpose. Okay, let's move on to chapter 4. Okay, what page number is chapter 4, please? So I can just tell the... Chapter 4, you have your... Okay, what page number is it? Sorry? 30? 1-3, okay. That's page number 13. Online students, if any of you want... Okay, I think I saw someone put up their hands. No, sir, I thought it was on... Is it number 4, Work of the Holy Spirit in the Life of Jesus? Is it page 3-12? I'm sorry, Shani. It's not clear now. Sorry. If possible, can you put it on the chat? It's echoing a bit here. If possible. And I can just respond to that. Sorry about that. Page number 12. Okay, sorry. I think Shekhar has put it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for... Thank you for that. Okay. It's just that I'm just following it on my phone and it's the one continuous script without page numbers. So, okay. Okay, so let's move on to chapter 4, right? Okay, chapter 4, we're going to study about the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Lord Jesus. Okay. Now, we looked at Old Testament. Now, we're looking at the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of Jesus. In particular, we're going to look at what the Holy Spirit did in the New Testament just before Jesus arrived. Okay. Just before Jesus came on the scene, we see something that the Holy Spirit doing. Okay, so let's move on to Luke chapter 1. Okay, Luke chapter 1 and verse 15. Okay. So, it's very interesting to see that, you know, hey, this is something that we are seeing right through scripture and this is something that we see that the work of the Holy Spirit, even before the Lord came on, you know, in the form of man. So, Luke chapter 1 verse 15, what does it say? 15, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. Okay, who's he referring to? Okay, let's read the verse and then we'll find out. For he will be great in the sight of the Lord and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb and he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. So, who is this talking about? Who is this he? John the Baptist, right? John the Baptist. It says that John the Baptist will be filled with the Holy Spirit. Okay, so John the Baptist will be filled with the Holy Spirit. Something unusual, right? So, but the Lord decided to do that. That he will be filled with the Holy Spirit. This was his assignment. This was his ministry. He's going to, right from a young age, he's going to be, you know, he's going to be set apart for this and he was instrumental in bringing many, or turning many people to the Lord. He was, we know that he was also the one who prepared the way. He was called the forerunner. He prepared the way for the Lord Jesus. And what else did he do? He actually introduced, right? He, Lord Jesus to the people. He said, in what way did he introduce? He said, you know, there is one who's coming after me who sandals I'm not worthy to carry, right? We saw that in Matthew. We're going to look at a few verses also. So, he introduced the Lord Jesus, but we see that he, the Holy Spirit was upon him or in him even before, even when he was in his mother's womb. Okay. Then the second one, we go to verse 35, same chapter, verse 35, the angel answered and said to her, so who's it referring to? The angel is talking to, speaking to Mary, right? And the angel answered and said to her, the Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the highest will overshadow you. Therefore, also the Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. So, what is this referring to? What is this prophecy or what is this message that Mary is receiving from the angel? It's about, sorry, about the promise, about the birth of the Lord Jesus, about the nature of the birth of the Lord Jesus. So, the Holy Spirit is doing something miraculous here. So, the reason is this because if you look at verse 34, Mary asks the angel or tells the angel or questions the angel and says, how can this be? You're saying that I will give birth to a son, but how can this be because I'm not married yet? Very valid question. And then in verse 35, the angel answered, the Holy Spirit will do this miraculous work. The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the similar way in which the Holy Spirit came upon the people of God in the Old Testament. We read the same thing. The Holy Spirit came upon these prophets, came upon these people and they did, they said, they conveyed. The angel is saying, the Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the highest, meaning the power of the Holy Spirit, the power of God will actually do this. This is how it will be. It will be a miraculous birth. It will be a virgin birth, but it is by the power of the Holy Spirit. So, no human involved in this. This is the power of the highest out of you. Therefore, the Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. So, we see this happening. Matthew chapter 1 verse 18. I think we see a similar thing. The same thing recorded for us there. Matthew 1, 18. Okay. So, this is with regard to Joseph, right? Let's read that. Matthew 1, 18. Now the birth of Jesus was as follows. After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Okay. So, exactly like how the angel told Mary, it was so. Verse 20. But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying, Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary, your wife. For that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. And she will bring forth the son and you shall call his name Jesus for he will save his people from their sins. Okay. So, something very wonderful, something miraculous. At the same time, something very disturbing. Very disturbing for both Joseph and for Mary. Okay. So, this is the work of the Holy Spirit. This is the work of God. This is a super-actual work, not possible by man, but at the same time, it was something which was very deeply disturbing for Joseph and for Mary. Right? So, in fact, for Mary, she was like, you know, how can I be, how can I become a mother? I'm not married. I'm betrothed, engaged, but I'm not married yet. And the same thing, the angel of the Lord comes and Joseph has a dream and in the dream is a message saying, you know, this is what will happen. And Joseph, he actually was, he was troubled. But he was, he was a just man. He says, he was just a fair. So, he said, okay, let me just not make it a big issue. Mary is carrying a child. She's engaged to me. I'm not married to her yet. So, let me, let me not make a big noise. Let me just, you know, be quiet about it and not get married to her. Okay? So, that was his thought. We see in verse 19. Okay? While he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him. He thought about this and he was, probably he just went to bed, troubled. He's thinking about these things. I'm just going to avoid Mary. I'm just going to, you know, go away maybe somewhere and not get married to her. Okay? The angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and conveys the same message that this, what was told to Mary saying, that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. Meaning, the Holy Spirit has done this work. It's a supernatural work. It's a miraculous work. Okay? So, you can go ahead and get married. Don't worry about it. You know, saying the son of God is going to be born in this manner. And in fact, he gives the name. Right? And you shall call his name, Jesus. Okay? So, the angel is giving that name also in this conversation with Joseph. Okay? So, this is again work of the Holy Spirit, the birth of the Lord and how he is, you know, confirmed to both Mary and to Joseph. Right? Okay? Let's look at verse 41 in the book of Luke. Chapter 1. Okay? Chapter 1 verse 41. Okay? Now, what has happened now? Mary is with child. Now, she goes to meet her cousin who is Elizabeth. Right? She goes to meet her cousin who is Elizabeth. Now, Elizabeth and her husband, Zechara, many years. Okay? And we see that Zechara also has a supernatural encounter. Like, while he is serving, he is a priest, serving in the temple and he has a supernatural encounter. The angel of the Lord says that your wife will bear a child. Okay? And this is and says so many things about John the Baptist. Now, that is what has happened now. Elizabeth is Mary's cousin. Okay? So, she goes and meets Mary. Okay? Let's read from verse 39. Okay? Look chapter 1, verse 39 says, Now, Mary arose in those days and went into the hill country with haste to a city of Judah and entered the house of Zechariahs and greeted Elizabeth. Okay? Now, read carefully, verse 41. And it happened when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary that the babe leaped in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. So, Mary goes and says, hello Elizabeth and there's something that happens to Elizabeth. The baby moves in Elizabeth's in a womb and Elizabeth is filled with the Holy Spirit and she goes on to say something. Right? Now, we must understand that this is before the days of cell phone, before the days of any such message being passed. And the verses prior to that we see that Mary has this encounter, angelic encounter and then on she says, okay, fine, be it unto me according to your word. And then she goes to meet Elizabeth. When she meets Elizabeth this is what happens. Now, look at verse 42. Then she spoke out with the loud voice who spoke out Elizabeth and said, blessed are you among women the fruit of your womb? But why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me for as soon as the voice of your greetings sounded in my ears the baby leaped in my womb for joy, blessed is she who believed for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord. So what is Elizabeth doing? Elizabeth is actually prophesying. Right? The Holy Spirit is coming upon her and she is telling Mary some information that Mary did not tell Elizabeth. Right? Mary did not tell Elizabeth that she had this angelic encounter. Mary did not tell Elizabeth that you know she is going to be with child. She didn't tell anything but Elizabeth because of the Holy Spirit coming upon her she is conveying this message. She is saying blessed is the fruit of your womb you know that's just a usage of your child. Blessed is the child that you are going to bear. And she is saying why is the mother of my Lord? So she acknowledges that what Mary you know whom Mary is going to give birth to is the son of God. Jesus. Right? She is saying so probably Elizabeth did not even know what she was you know the full meaning of what she was conveying. She is saying what is it? What is the privilege and blessed are you among women? Blessed is the fruit of your womb. Why is this granted to me? Or you know why is this privilege granted to me? That the mother of my Lord should come to me for indeed and then you know and look at verse 45 verse 45 blessed is she who believed for there will be a fulfillment of those things which were told her from the Lord. Now this is again by the Holy Spirit. You see those words you know what do you think Mary would have experienced when she heard these words? Just imagine what do you think Mary would have experienced? Or what what do you think Mary felt when she heard these words? You go ahead verse 45 right and brother you also what do you think Mary felt would have felt anyone? Okay Sanjay says a confirmation from God very true right it's a confirmation it's a confirmation of something that you know a personal encounter a private encounter that she had an angelic encounter and now it's a confirmation of that what do the angels say you know if you look at the previous verse angels say the power of the you know highest will overshadow you and I'm looking at verse 35 therefore that Holy One which will be which is to be born would be called the Son of God verse 36 you know he's actually revealing some information about Elizabeth now indeed Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age and this is now the sixth month for her who was called Aaron verse 37 for with God nothing will be impossible okay with God nothing will be impossible and then Mary says let it be to me according to your word may it happen to me according to your word so what do you think Mary felt when this angel said this or sorry when Elizabeth prophesied and gave all this information what do you think just put yourself in Mary's place anyone okay Shani I think she felt like a confirmation that she truly heard from God hmm did you say confirmation yes confirmation that she truly that she truly heard from God yeah right exactly what Sanjay also shared and also I would say a deep comfort and assurance right now you look at the nature of the miracle right and you when you consider the kind of society they were in and the nature of the miracle it is not something which is you know it's something which is disturbing it's something that people will not understand in fact Joseph himself felt that he should not go ahead with the marriage it is something that will bring dishonour it is something which people will ask questions and so he didn't want anything to do with that so if Joseph felt that way just imagine what Mary would have felt right Mary would have felt like you know how will I answer people if they are going to ask how will I maybe I should just you know so many things going on in my mind but here is Elizabeth by the spirit of the Lord prophesying I see Lucy rejoicing in God yeah so here is Elizabeth bringing this message and saying this is what it is there will be a fulfillment of all the things that were told you by the so much so you know Mary verse 46 what does Mary do you know she just breaks out in a song right do we see that verse 46 onwards my soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Saviour just want us to want to point out that the Holy Spirit when he brings his word when he brings the word when he brings the prophetic word it produces you know it's a word of exhortation it's a word of edification it's a word of comfort right it could be corrective it could be predictive but this is all this we see you know there's a lot of exhortation there's a lot of encouragement and there's a lot of comfort that comes from God right in fact 1 Corinthians 14 talks about that says you prophesies speaks edification exhortation and comfort to man okay we'll continue thank you
