Before Yeshua came to a stable in Bethlehem, He came to a virgin’s womb. By the divine technology of overshadowing, He Who created all, became a part of the world He created.
This overshadowing was the spreading-of-power-over a young girl whose only contributions were her “yes” and a womb. She was told by an archangel that the Spirit of Holiness would fall upon her in a cloud of glory. All she could do was be willing. Imagine the one who fills the heavens fit inside a virgin’s womb? This was humility’s greatest moment.
Mary offered Yahweh her future and reputation and dreams and plans for a home and family. This sacrifice of a young Jewish girl brought the Incarnation to humanity. Perhaps this is what is required by all who hear the message of “Christ in us”? Will we bring the Incarnation to humanity with our yes?
This same Spirit of Holiness invaded a small cave-grave some three decades later. He raised Yeshua from the dead. Did you catch that? The same Spirit of Holiness that overshadowed Mary also raised Christ from the dead.
And if that wasn’t staggering enough, we also know that this same Spirit that raised Yeshua from the dead is at work is us!!!!
The question is, what will the Spirit of Holiness do in the womb of our hearts? Will we say a complete yes? Will we lay aside our vision for the future, our reputations, our dreams and plans so that Yeshua will be born through our lives? Will we say yes to what we do not understand but simply trust the One who is asking us? Can we believe that the womb of our spirit tabernacles the Living God?
Ask Him to overshadow you. It was this overshadowing of glory in Peter that healed people who came into his proximity. We can only imagine what the Spirit of Holiness will cause in us when He overshadows us.
Ask Him to overshadow you. Then, whatever He asks you, just say yes.
