Greek Translation: “And the angel Gabriel said unto her, Fear not do not be terrified, Mary for though you have found seeking it or not favor granted to you by grace alone.” Comment: Mary you did not earn this! You were not even seeking this favor! I decided to give it to you not based on merit! You do not deserve my favor! We lived in Colorado Springs, Colorado from 2012-2016. Just up in the mountains west of the Springs is a small mountain community by the name of Woodland Park. In the midst of this small insignificant community is a great ministry founded by Andrew Wommack! He is about my age that is old! New ministry facilities have been built in this community! We would go up to these ministry facilities for worship! When I walked into these beautiful buildings the word “Grace”, came to my mind! Even if I lived a thousand years I would not earn enough money to pay for this Bible College! The Lord asked me do you want to be a part of something you could never do on your own? That is grace! Here is a key thought about God’s grace! The grace he gives you is always for others! Mary benefited the world through the birth of Jesus! The question is really can God trust you with his grace? Judas proved he could not be trusted! God is trusting you with his grace! If you are faithful in small things you will be faithful in much! Jesus on the Cross asked the Father why have you forsaken me? Nevertheless not my will but your will be done! On my death bed I was trusting Jesus for heaven like the thief on the Cross! After the miraculous healing God had to trust me with the new life he had given me! Could he trust me with a miracle? What was I going to do with it? Live like the devil? Can you be trusted with what God has given you or do you claim it as your own? You are bought with a price! For 20 years Andrew went to work everyday in his low power radio station in the Springs! God saw he could be trusted with small things! If you trust God he will trust you! God had to trust Jesus with Joseph and Mary! Mary could have turned the child over to King Herod for abortion or she could have fled to Egypt to protect Jesus. Mary was trustworthy even at the Cross when most of the disciples fled into hiding! Later the disciples proved themselves trustworthy even unto martyrdom! Can God trust you with his gifts? Can God trust me with the ministry he has given me? In spite of the persecution, mockery and all that comes against us we must be faithful! The ten Nigerian Christian’s that were beheaded this week proved themselves faithful to the end! How about you?
