Luke 1:41
And it came to pass, that, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit:

If you get curious read the entire chapter of Luke 1 but DAD'S of unborn babies DO NOT speak out against the unborn, for it curses God's plan so intensely that the Angel Gabriel muted Zacharias until after the baby was named by the mother who she walked in faith believing. The power of words got transferred to the woman to keep that baby of promise alive just like her cousin Mary who by her words kept the WORD/JESUS alive believing in the good news... when all MEN (males doubted) two women changed the world by their faith when all faith was lost in the heart's of men. The women are not to be regarded above GOD ... NOT AT ALL! Just the faith of one male or female is all God is asking for to ignite a spark of light.

as we read on ... Luke 1:57-64 57 When it was time for Elizabeth to have her baby, she gave birth to a son. 58 Her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they shared her joy.

59 On the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to name him after his father Zechariah, 60 but his mother spoke up and said, “No! He is to be called John.”

61 They said to her, “There is no one among your relatives who has that name.”

62 Then they made signs to his father, to find out what he would like to name the child. 63 He asked for a writing tablet, and to everyone’s astonishment he wrote, “His name is John.” 64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue set free, and he began to speak, praising God.

ok anyway... point proven on the dad's, Do it God's way or be banned basically.

LUKE 2 basically Jesus growing up strong etc.

Luke 3:8
8 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. I had to post that, I am a rock so was PETER!!! JESUS CHIEF CORNER STONE!!! ISAIAH 51:1 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.


Mark 1
King James Version (KJV)
1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;
2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.
5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins.
6 And John was clothed with camel's hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey;
7 And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.
8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.
BAPTISM ISN'T WHAT SAVES US!!!! John the Baptist was just preparing the way of the hearts of man of the real baptism of JESUS CHRIST!!!!

Later John the Baptist said I must decrease while HE increases, but so many take what he said out of content, God's requirement in John the Baptist was complete, it was time for him to go home, it wasn't about losing gifting or pride in error, GOD'S WORD IN JOHN WAS COMPLETE, it was time for him to be called home so was taken in prison and an evil dad of a princess wanted her to request the head of John... John started to doubt since his life would be taken and no one in prison nor the comfort of Jesus was there to remind him... so a word was sent of confirmation that Jesus sent to him and got to him before his head was taken. YES JESUS CARED THAT MUCH!! some say well if Jesus cared so much why didn't he save John the Baptist, but if you read on many mocked Jesus while on the cross if you are the SON OF GOD SAVE YOURSELF but what the mockers should have begged for, IF YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD HAVE MERCY ON ME SAVE ME TO BE WITH YOU!

I forgot to add, while John the Baptist was slam dunking believers in the water before the LIVING WATER ( JESUS) time had arrived, he was showing them what we are living in now.... while Jesus was preparing self to be the final sacrifice John the Baptist was preparing us to cross over in Christ JESUS the final baptism, not of earth water but of JESUS SPIRIT FIRRE TRUTH! BEING WASHED IN THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB JESUS!

We all started out like this for a purpose just like JOHN the Baptist and YESSSSS even JESUS claimed his place in this world to be one of us so we could be one of HIM as HE CREATED ALL and wants to eliminate sin pain death and all that is not of him so we can have life, it starts as a seed.....
