GospeL Verses ~ Luke 1:26-38
26 - In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to Nazareth, a city of Galilee, 27 to a virgin [parthenon - a maiden, a virgin] betrothed/engaged to a man named Joseph, of the house of David. And her name was Mary. 28 And Gabriel said to her, “Hail to you! Favored with grace! The Lord is with you, you are blessed among women!” 29 But Mary was distressed and puzzled at what sort of greeting that might be. 30 So the angel said, “Don’t be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God, 31 for behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and called Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give him the throne of his father [patΓ©r - father, descendant] David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob (Israel) forever, and of HiS kingdom there will be no end.” (You see why Satan wishes to annihilate all Israel?! Has been attempting and working at it for a very long time. But the culmination will backfire, Mt.13:30 as Rev.16:13-16.) 34 And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be? Since I have never been with a man?” 35 And Gabriel answered her, “The Holy Spirit/Presence will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will [epi-skiazΓ³] overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, and Son of God. 36 And behold, your relative Elizabeth, in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is now the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37 For nothing is impossible with God.” (Nothing at all, is impossible to God. “Perfect” mt.5:48, brings about the most Perfect end result possible (surely!?) From the greek word “tel” which means “end-aim”. He has done and does all things as he has, and does, in order to bring about the best of all possibilities. Being not so much what he hAs created - “kosmos” - but what he iS creating, Rev.21:1-5, Is.11:7;45:23.) 38 And Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaiden of the Lord, let all be as you have said. And Gabriel departed from her.

~ 2 Corinthians 1:15-24
15 - And with this confidence, I was planning to visit so we may have a second blessing of grace. 16 I wanted to visit you on my way to Macedonia, then come back to you from Macedonia, and have you send me on my way to Judea. 17 Did I purpose this lightly, ready to say “yea and nay” at the same time? 18 God is faithful however, and our word has not been yea and nay. 19 For as - there is this — the Son of God, Jesus Christ, whom we proclaimed among you, Silas, Timothy and I, was not yea and nay/maybe! But in him it is always “yes!” 20 For all (Is.45:23) the promises of God find their “yes” in him. That is why it is through him, we utter our “amen” to God. (Why we agree with God, and so “receive”.) 21 The one establishing us, with you - in Jesus - and anointing us, is God. 22 And he has put his seal upon our heart (sealed it up) and given us his Spirit as a pledge and guarantee [arrabΓ³n - pledge, down payment in advance as security and guarantee]. 23 But as God is my witness, it was to spare you, that I changed my plans and delayed from coming again to Corinth. (The group was having many questions and troubles.) 24 Not that we lord it over you, but we are working together with you, for your joy, and for “the” faith, in which you stand.
