About this sermon

Andrew Wommack’s daily TV program: Gospel Truth To subscribe to Andrew’s email newsletter: http://www.awmi.net/youtube-subscribe/ The faith of Mary to bring forth God's son is a powerful message of Mary's trust and believing in God to fulfill His Word. But on this Christmas Eve Andrew's focus is on Joseph, Mary's betrothed. Joseph was a powerful man of God and there are lessons to be learned by his faith and trust in God as it pertains to the birth of Jesus Christ. 00:10 A beautiful holiday opening with a picture of The Sanctuary. 00:30 Wishing you a Merry Christmas. 02:06 Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Joseph and Mary were engaged when Mary became pregnant by the Holy Ghost. 3:40 In the culture at that time, engagements were binding and by the law, Mary was worthy of stoning for being found (discovered) pregnant and not by Joseph. How do you explain a virgin conception to your espoused? 08:15 Mary's faith was confirmed and strengthened when she went to see her cousin Elizabeth who, past the age of having children was also pregnant with John the Baptist. 11:30 God has a will for each of us and it's going to be far far beyond what we are capable by ourselves in the natural. God's heart is that we trust in Him by faith on our part. 17:35 Imagine, Mary was gone for three months and returned three months pregnant. She would have been showing. Joseph cared for Mary but finding her pregnant it was easy to assume she had had sexual intercourse with another man while she was gone. Being a just man he was minded to divorce her quietly. 18:50 Mary's life was hanging in the balance but Joseph was not going to allow her to be subject to disgrace and death. 19:30 An angel appears to Joseph in a dream and explains to him, "Joseph, son of David, fear not to take unto you Mary your wife". 20:19 Joseph received a confirmation of Mary's innocence by the angels visit. If Mary had told Joseph herself, Joseph could have thought the dream was only because Mary's words were dominating his mind and thinking. 23:15 This is a great message in learning how to receive from God and see how he relates to us in our lives. ========================================­­­==== Andrew Wommack Ministries http://www.awmi.net/ https://www.facebook.com/AWMinistries https://twitter.com/andrewwommack https://instagram.com/andrewwommack/ https://www.pinterest.com/andrewwommack/ ========================================­­­============== https://youtu.be/pNEwioQ7O_E Nonprofits & Activism License Standard YouTube License
