The Annunciation by Henry Ossawa Tanner 1898 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name [was] Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, [thou that art] highly favoured, the Lord [is] with thee: blessed [art] thou among women. And when she saw [him], she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Yahshua. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb.
And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed [art] thou among women, and blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb.
(Luke 1:26-38, 41,42)

For too long we have been taught the scriptures are stories about people separate from ourselves, living thousands of years ago. We have not understood the relevance of each allegory, person, and situation as they pertain to our lives today. If the truth be known, each person and event in the Bible is happening within you at this very moment! Yes, that's right, the Bible is all about an ascension of consciousness within man.
Do you realize the virgin, able to birth The Christ, has always been resident within you? When scriptures speaks about a "virgin" they are referring to the pure, innocent and perfect spirit within each of us. It is not just alluding to a woman who has not had sexual relations with a man. The Bible is a spiritual book and must be understood by the Spirit!
Webster's Dictionary defines "virgin" as free of impurities or stain, caste, and unspoiled. We all originated from this virginal state of consciousness. It is our source and true life. Mary said, "Be it unto me according to your word (not the belief of man.) Mary was in tune with a consciousness which was pure, free of impurities and saw no evil. She viewed everything through the pure innocent eyes of a child. Because of this virginal consciousness, she was able to manifest The Christ.
My name is Mary Lou as you know. Many years ago I looked up the meaning of Mary in the Greek and was greatly surprised! I expected to read a highly spiritual meaning, pointing to a great destiny. What I found was quite different. Mary means, "rebellious and obstinate" and was derived from the Hebrew name Marion, Moses's rebellious sister. How could this be? God had chosen a woman with a name meaning rebellious to birth The Christ? Why? The Spirit began to bring illumination and it became crystal clear.
Mary was a picture of the soulish consciousness of all humanity in its rebellious and obstinate state. Through Mary, we are able to understand what must happen within our consciousness before we are able to birth The Christ. As Mary heard the voice revealing her destiny, which was utterly impossible for the mind of man to believe, she believed! She was able to tap into the pure innocent spirit of truth within her, and look past the physical realm, into the virginal realm of spirit. It is from the pure innocent spirit of truth, this virginal place, The Christ will be birthed from within each of us.
Remember Christ said, "Let the little children come unto me." This is referring to the pure innocent child like spirit within each of us. Our virginal spirit is holy in thought and belief. Within Mary, the rebellious state of all mankind, lies a pure virgin. A place of no negativity, no wrong belief, and no conception of evil. It is our pure and perfect spirit. A pure immaculate sea of energy for birthing the Savior, our Christ.
So what does our virginal spirit begin to hear which helps it awaken? A beautiful message of truth and supernatural destiny.
"Hail -or start waking up, you are highly favored.
God is within you and you are blessed."
When we first begin to hear the message we become confused and troubled. It is foreign to the carnal mind and not what we have been taught. We become troubled because like Mary, we have had a "cast in our mind." A bound way of thinking. Remember Christ was wrapped, swaddled and laying in a manger. This is exactly where your Christ has been! Tightly wrapped in the beliefs of this physical world and swaddled in the grave cloth of a realm of duality.
The angel (messenger within) keeps assuring us during this time of awakening, "Don't be afraid, you are highly favored with God." And not only that, within you is the seed of God and it will be your Savior. You will bring Emanuel, God is with us, forth from your womb where it has been hidden in darkness. It will be called, The Off Shoot of the Highest God, and will be the Savior of your life. This Christ will reign over your humanity and bring you into an awareness of Oneness with all.
We question, "How can this be? I am not complete in myself. I need another to complete me. The answer soon comes! The power of Holy Spirit will overshadow all you believe to be reality in the physical realm. Everything trying to hold the birth of The Christ back, making you believe you are not worthy, nor able, will be overshadowed by spiritual truth. When this takes place, YOU will be supernaturally able to birth that which is in you....God!"
Not only you, but humanity still believing they are in the 6th month (limited time of physical man) shall have a leap within their spirit and begin to believe they too, can bring forth the son within them!
The true Christmas story is unfolding within you at this very moment. Within you is the virginal spirit able to birth The Christ! The shepherd (Christ consciousness) which has been in a darkened field mentality, is beginning to hear the message of good news about the birth of a savior. You are starting to see His star in the heavens (an illumination of the Christ in your consciousness) which is able to lead you to full view of Christ. When you have seen The Christ, you will never be able to go back the way you came! You will embark on a journey of higher and higher consciousness until your virginal spirit can no longer carry the life growing within you. At this fullness of time (no time) you too, will bring forth God-life. You will manifest infinite life with no beginning, no end, and no limitations! A life which only sees from a virginal consciousness of pure love, joy, and peace!
Can you see where the true story of the birth of Christ is really taking place? It didn't just happen 2,000 years ago. It is happening now in this 21st Century too!
Let the spirit open your consciousness........all the Bible is happening within you. Remember on the road to Emmaus, Christ explained the scriptures beginning with Moses, and revealed they were all about Him. They are all about you too, if you are able to see through spiritual eyes.
The Bible is your story........you falling asleep to your oneness with God..........you in a state of believing in separation........... you birthing the Christ child whose comes to know, He and the Father are One........you awakening out of a death mentality ......you ascending in consciousness as Christ is lifted up.........you fully awakening to the fullness of Christ within you....you ascending into a heavenly place in your consciousness where you are ruling and reigning over your humanity...you knowing as Mary came to know....
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD (in you)!!
