A Supernatural Child



1-15-08

On this morning while Jen was reading her Bible three folded pieces of paper fell out of the back of her Bible while sitting in the sun outside on the back patio. She didn't remember ever having read them. But she noticed on the date it was written by me(Joseph) about a year and a half ago. She showed them to me and after reading them I started to understand better what they were speaking to. It was something I felt the Lord speaking to me back then, but I didn't fully understand all that it meant. At the time when they were written, it seemed like this area of the coast in Santa Barbara was ripe for something to happen. That God had an intentional design and purpose for this area and that was soon about to unfold. It felt like the spiritual atmosphere was pregnant with this plan and there was revelation to receive concerning it. God wanted to do something different and unique in this part of the world. So I wrote down at that time just some of the things I felt he was sharing. I'm unsure of all that it means, but I find an interesting connection to what is written then to what is happening now with God, Jen and I and Sarah. This is what is written on those pieces of paper:

Luke 1(paraphrase with other scriptures and thoughts added)
"Angel sent from God", "and coming in... God/Angel (spoke to her) said to her..." "to a virgin" (the pure in heart shall see God)
(favor) - "...the Lord is with you" "found favor with God." "... you will conceive in your womb..."

Question from Mary: "how can this be since I am a virgin?" - Impossible to have a child
Mary's question is our question. We doubt. We see our lack. We see our inabilities. We see the impossibility of the situation.

Answer to Mary: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you;
Mary's answer is our answer. God comes upon us. The power of the Most High overshadows us and brings forth what He wants to happen.

Then(speaking of Elizabeth) "She who is called barren is in her sixth month" - barren, old age, no chance to have a baby
NOTE: Jen is in her sixth month and they are telling her there is no chance of having a baby.

Angel says: "FOR NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD."

In verse 1:39 Two mothers with child(pregnant) come together - now filled with Spirit when coming together.


God is looking for a virgin, in other words, one without guile, pure in heart. One whose motivations are pure, not self-seeking, not after ones own gain, profit or comfort, but after God's own heart, his kingdom and purposes, one whose willing to BELIEVE IN THE IMPOSSIBLE, who is humble and not proud in the thoughts of their heart, who fears God, who isn't deluded by their own self-importance.

God will send to us, will visit us. He will "come in" and speak to us His Spirit will overshadow us. His power will come upon us and will impregnate our own hearts and spirits with a seed or seeds(baby) from Heaven. It will be a new life, a new thing. We will CONCEIVE THIS BABY ON THE INSIDE AND NURTURE IT BEFORE GIVING BIRTH TO IT. He will share with us a vision and as we continually come together we will be filled with Spirit. And we will "stay on together" like Mary did with Elizabeth. We will be together bfore God, in relationship UNTIL THE BABY IS BORN.

For God to establish something significant in this area it will have to be born in God. It will have to be A SUPERNATURAL CHILD, WITH THE DNA FOR THE IMPOSSIBLE. - "John the Baptist said, A man can receive nothing unless it has been given him from Heaven."

Natural thinging will not suffice. Natural thinking will leave it earthbound. Everything satrted in natural thinking(as good ideas) will wither like the flower of the field. It will be here today gone tomorow. GOD IS LOOKING TO BIRTH ETERNITY IN OUR HEARTS and wants to establish us in a new place in the spirit, in a place of supernatural vision and prophetic revelation. For when we take hold of that, or when we become impregnated with what is filling God's heart (or is presently formed in His heart), WE ARE GIVEN SOMETHING UNSHAKEABLE, IMMOVABLE, SOLID THAT CAN WEATHER STORMS.

A picture of that unshakeable kingdom as it comes to shake the kingdoms of darkness is:

The birth of jesus in a stable.


The unshakeable kingdom will begin to take root in us as it relates to Santa Barbara and this area. We will then stay on together until it is birthed in the natural.

"For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, For He gives the Spirit without measure."

"...God has sent.." - Being sent, called, chosen for a particular task, position, or whatever - anoints you to carry out what is needed for the situation. Heaven's resources are available to you to be successful, but it is God who sends, not us, not our knowledge, or experience, status, or whatever. We don't self-appoint ourselves.

"... For He gives the Spirit without measure." THis is what we need and are to receive. We are to be filled (overflowing) like Mary and Elizabeth experienced before their babies wer born.

KEY: John 3:6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit."

This was written in June of 2006. Jen is due to have Sarah Elizabeth in June of 2008. We are believing for the supernatural child with the DNA for the impossible. The filling of the Spirit is like unto the experience of Joy, and the experience of laughter. God is speaking to us prophetically and giving to us supernatural vision for the journey. Thank you God.
