Luke 1:52  He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.

Here is a prophetic word worth of an Isaiah, an Ezekiel or a Jeremiah, but it is made by a woman of low degree. These words were uttered by Mary the mother of Jesus while He was just a few weeks in the womb.

Mary had no formal training in the prophetic, was not overtly religious, and her greatest quality was her virtue, innocence, and humility.

Only a mother can understand the special relationship that exists while she carries her unborn child. There is life in her. This blessed Mary had the Lord in her.

No one would have expected such profound and accurate prophesies as Mary uttered, certainly not from the religious of her day.

If Christ be in you, if you be humble, if you harken to His voice, you too are capable of uttering prophetic words. If Christ be in you, then you may well hear a fellow traveler utter the prophetic to you.

No one expected the prophetic of Mary, and you might not expect it of yourself. If Christ be in you then do not discount the possibility of Christ speaking thru you.

I would caution you not to be caught up in the possibility to the point you have a desire to use a gift that leads to pride, desirous expectation. If He has used you once, He well may again, but that is the will of the Lord and not your own.

1 Peter 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

Luke 1:49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.

This is Mary mother of Jesus in a declaration of praise which is based on what God did to her, not for her. God would do wonderful things for her after this one thing He did to her.

Mary conceived a child with God thru no act of her own. This was a wonderful blessing bestowed upon her. With this conception began a personal relationship which no one else understands and would put her life at risk if she were to declare it.

This has reminded me of the time God did a wondrous work in me that was a miracle beyond my ability to grasp as a teenager. As I recall the event today, all I can say for sure is that God made Himself known to me in a way that only God could have done.

I was an angry teen and I did not know why. I was getting into fights in school for no good reason. I was afraid of my becoming like my oldest brother. With that sense of doom I raised my hand at an alter call and when I did, anger left me.

That was not my salvation moment, even though others perceived it to be just that. For me it was God reveling Himself only as God can, miraculously.

Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

I would love to hear about your “to me” moments. It is a testament of faith. I can think of no better time to share our witnesses than this season of celebration of the birth of Christ.
