The Invading, Intervening, and Inviting Spirit of God // Luke 1:35

When the angel tells Mary that she will conceive Jesus, she understandably asks how such a miracle could happen. Luke 1:35 is the angel’s answer: the Holy Spirit will come upon her, and the child will be called the Son of God. This moment reveals the profound mystery of the Incarnation—God stepping into humanity through the power of His Spirit. As we approach Christmas, we remember that Jesus’ birth was not just a heartwarming story but a divine invasion and holy intervention. The same Holy Spirit who brought Christ into the world is still at work today, bringing God’s presence, power, and purposes into our lives. I hope you will pause today and invite the Holy Spirit to invade the darkness in you, intervening in your ongoing bent toward sinning to shape your thoughts, guide your steps, and prepare you for His impending return.
