Episode Overview

In this passionate and insightful sermon, Pastor Dharius Daniels unpacks the notion of becoming a sign – a living testimony of God’s power – inspired by a statement from Pastor William McDowell: “Lord, make me a sign.” Using the Gospel narrative from Luke 1, Pastor Dharius explores the stories of Mary and Elizabeth, drawing out what it means to not just receive a miracle, but to become a visible sign of God’s miraculous work for others. The message revolves around the principle of exposure, the importance of testimony, the danger of comparison, and embracing both process and partnership in God’s miracles.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Principle of Exposure

(Starts ~02:07)

• God uses the exposure to someone else's miracle to increase your own expectation.

  “God uses exposure to what he has done with others as an avenue, as an instrument, as an impetus to increase your expectation of what he can do with you.” (Lead Pastor, 02:38)

• Exposure is not to create jealousy, but hunger for what is possible.

  “Jealousy is the consequence of an individual allowing exposure to drive them to comparison, when exposure should produce confirmation of God’s capability.” (Assistant Pastor, 03:09)

2. Testimony: More Powerful than Talent or Time

(Starts ~04:45)

• God desires to use more than just our abilities; He wants to use our testimony.

  “Beyond using my time, my talent and my treasure, use my testimony.” (Lead Pastor, 04:38)

• Testimonies are irrefutable evidence—like Lazarus, whose life became God’s sign to others (05:14–05:25).
• Personal and communal affirmation: “If you don’t believe in miracles, look at the person sitting next to you, because you are so sitting next to one.” (Assistant Pastor, 06:27)

3. Elizabeth: The Overlooked Sign

(Starts ~08:55)

• The text often focuses on Mary’s miracle, but Elizabeth is equally significant as Mary’s sign.

  “Elizabeth is important. Elizabeth is essential. Elizabeth is significant. Elizabeth is necessary. Because Elizabeth stay here is Mary’s sign.” (Lead Pastor & Assistant Pastor, 09:13–09:42)

• Elizabeth’s miraculous pregnancy was evidence for Mary that God's word is possible.
• Sometimes God calls us to be Elizabeth—a sign for someone else—rather than Mary, the center of attention.

4. The Power of Public Process

(Starts ~12:14)

• God waits until Elizabeth’s sixth month—when she’s visibly pregnant—to announce Mary’s conception.

  “He waited until she was showing before he sent a word to Mary…” (Assistant Pastor, 12:30)

• Why? Because others need to see what seemed impossible become reality, confirming the miracle.

5. Miracle in the Person, Process, and Partner

(Starts ~17:58)

A. Miracle in the Person

• God’s sovereignty over time: Elizabeth bore a child "past childbearing age," showing it’s never too late.

  “Elizabeth getting pregnant says to us that God is able to empower you and me to give birth to things in a season where naturally, it's too late.” (Lead Pastor, 20:15)

• Call for faith: Don’t let the enemy torture you with wasted time; God can redeem it.

  “If you don’t get this revelation, the enemy will use time to torture you.” (Assistant Pastor, 20:23)

• Declaration (crowd response):

  "He’s still gonna do it." (Congregation, 21:32–22:51)

B. Miracle in the Process

• Mary conceives as a virgin: Sometimes God lets you skip the process others must endure.

  “Mary’s pregnancy, the Immaculate Conception, is a miracle where God enables a woman to skip some steps.” (Assistant Pastor, 25:45)

• Not every blessing comes through the same process—sometimes God gives you a leap.

  “God is also the God that orchestrates your leaps… in the Kingdom, every year is a leap year.” (Assistant Pastor, 26:15)

• Encouragement for those feeling behind: It is your leap year.

C. Miracle with a Partner: Overcoming Isolation

• Elizabeth was sent to Mary so she wouldn’t feel alone in carrying her miracle.

  “Elizabeth, is Mary’s answer to the issue of isolation. Because sometimes you feel like I'm the only one.” (Lead Pastor, 32:34)

• God often provides partners (Elizabeths) as evidence of shared experience, to make the journey bearable and confirm, “You’re not alone.”

  “Elizabeth represents the person God supernaturally sends to your life. Who is so divinely joined that when you come into proximity, what's in you leap.” (Lead Pastor, 34:53)

6. Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “Lord, make me a sign. Not just a recipient of miracles, but a reflection of them.” (Lead Pastor, 35:08)
• On comparison:

  “Jealousy is the feeling you get when you mismanage your exposure.” (Assistant Pastor, 03:04)

• “Mary’s need, Elizabeth’s, Mary's need Elizabeths. ... Not so that you can believe God can do it for Elizabeth, but so that you can believe God can do it for you.” (Lead Pastor, 15:27)
• “If people did not observe you in your non childbearing season, they would not be able to diagnose and affirm that your pregnancy is a miracle.” (Assistant Pastor, 16:42)
• “You can feel like a zebra without stripes.” (Lead Pastor, 33:57)
• On leaping/acceleration:

  “How did you get there? ... I leaped here.” (Lead Pastor, 27:18-27:31)

7. Key Takeaways for Listeners

• Sometimes, God uses your story—not just your skills—to encourage and build faith in others.
• Your journey may require embracing public processes, seasons of waiting, and even being the “Elizabeth” in someone else’s story.
• Miracles come in different forms: God can work in you (the person), your method (the process), or through others alongside you (the partner).
• Don’t discount your influence when you’re not “center stage”—sometimes your story is the sign someone else needs.
• Leap when God calls. Acceleration and unconventional processes are possible.
• You may presently endure seasons of isolation or confusion, but the “sixth month”—clarity and joy in partnership—is coming.

This sermon is a call to recognize that sometimes the miracle God wants to do in your life isn’t solely for your benefit, but to become a tangible sign to encourage others. Whether you’re positioned as Mary or Elizabeth, your faith journey—publicly lived, patiently endured, boldly testified—may become the confirmation and encouragement someone else needs. And no matter how late the season or how unconventional the process, “He’s still gonna do it.”

Memorable Ending Declaration:

“Lord, make me a sign. Not just a recipient of miracles, but a reflection of them. Not just someone who sees your power, but someone who becomes living proof of it.” (Lead Pastor, 35:08)

Transcript

[Lead Pastor]

I want to call our attention to a Gospel narrative in the book of Luke, chapter number one, beginning at verse 26. And we're going to read a couple of verses there. Hey, I want you guys to welcome everybody that's here for the first time.

[Assistant Pastor]

And our online family.

[Lead Pastor]

Give it up for a change.

[Assistant Pastor]

Global.

[Lead Pastor]

Luke, chapter 1, verse 26 says this.

[Assistant Pastor]

It says, in the sixth month of.

[Lead Pastor]

Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, which was a town in Galilee. He sent Gabriel to a virgin that's pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, who's a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. And the angel went to her and said, greetings, you who are highly favored.

[Assistant Pastor]

The Lord is with you.

[Lead Pastor]

I want to pause the reading of scripture there and I want to share as a subject for this sermon, a statement that was released by Pastor William McDowell during our miracle Week prayer call on Wednesday morning. He said something that resonated with me so strongly, I felt the need to unpack it in the context of a sermon. So the topic of tonight's teaching is inspired by that conversation. And the title is this. Lord, make me a sign. I need a better amen than that, Doc. Lord, make me make me a sign. This passage here in Luke Family I think is a powerful picture of a principle I've affectionately entitled the principle of exposure. And this principle, for those of you.

[Assistant Pastor]

Who are unfamiliar with it or who.

[Lead Pastor]

May have forgotten, simply suggests that God uses exposure to what he has done with others as an avenue to increase your expectation of what he can do with you.

[Assistant Pastor]

I'm gonna read it one more time.

[Lead Pastor]

I want it to sink in your mind. God uses exposure to what he has done with others as an avenue, as.

[Assistant Pastor]

An instrument, as an impetus to increase.

[Lead Pastor]

Your expectation of what he can do with you.

[Assistant Pastor]

In other words, there are times when God gives us a front row seat.

[Lead Pastor]

To what he has done with others.

[Assistant Pastor]

Not to make us jealous, but to make us hungry.

[Lead Pastor]

Jealousy is the feeling you get when.

[Assistant Pastor]

You mismanage your exposure. Jealousy is the consequence of an individual allowing exposure to drive them to comparison, when exposure should produce confirmation of God's capability. Therefore, God doesn't just perform signs and wonders. He prepares people to be signs and wonders. He doesn't just work miraculously to work miraculously. He works miraculously so that our lives can be a mirror of his miracle working power. God doesn't just perform miracles for those who need the miracle. He performs miracles for the people that need to see.

[Lead Pastor]

He still works miracles. Therefore, every believer that deeply Desires to be used by God should have a holy conviction that says, lord, make me a sign, Lord, don't limit my usage to my time, my talent, and my treasure. Use that. But beyond using my time, my talent and my treasure, use my testimony.

[Assistant Pastor]

Did you hear what I just said? Because.

[Lead Pastor]

Watch this. Because your testimony speaks louder than the.

[Assistant Pastor]

Usage of your time, your talent, and your treasure. Your testimony becomes undeniable, irrefutable, unequivocal evidence of God's miracle working power.

[Lead Pastor]

People could argue doctrine with Lazarus, they.

[Assistant Pastor]

Could argue philosophy with Lazarus, but they could not argue his resurrection. Come on.

[Lead Pastor]

To end here.

[Assistant Pastor]

They could not argue that he was sick and in the tomb for four days. But when Jesus walked up to the tomb and said, lazarus, come forth, the Bible says Lazarus literally comes out of that tomb. And we know he comes out of the tomb in grave clothes. Because Jesus tells those that are around him, loose him and let him go. You missed it. He allowed the same people who watched him go in the tomb to be the same people that were hanging around when he came out of the tomb. Because he wanted to use not just Lazarus's time, not just his talent, not just his treasure, he wanted to use his testimony. And I want to know, am I talking to anybody in the room today that can say to your neighbor, don't tell them, but if they ask you, what does a miracle look like? You could just tell them it looks like the person sitting next to you. Cause I wasn't in Lazarus's tomb, but I was in my own tomb. And somehow, some way, he gave me a resurrection. So if you don't believe in miracles, look at the person sitting next to you, because you are so sitting next to one. Let me hear not just the people who want a miracle. Let me hear the people who are a miracle. Make some noise tonight.

[Congregant 1]

Lord.

[Lead Pastor]

Make me a sign.

[Assistant Pastor]

And this text here is an example.

[Lead Pastor]

Of what I'm articulating.

[Assistant Pastor]

Very often, Rashaun, the story of the incarnation focuses on one woman. And this one woman is named Mary. And Mary deserves attention, does she not? Mary deserves appreciation, does she not?

[Lead Pastor]

Mary deserves adoration, does she not?

[Assistant Pastor]

Mary is one of the ultimate examples of submission that we see in scripture because the.

[Lead Pastor]

Watch this.

[Assistant Pastor]

Her assignment.

[Congregant 2]

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

[Assistant Pastor]

Her assignment disrupted her desires for her own life. She didn't ask for this. She's engaged to the love of her life. I mean, he put the flowers on the sidewalk. He had her friends and loved ones there. The candles were lit. Had her airplane fly above in the sky. Mary, will you marry me? She's got Joseph, the man of her dreams. And then all of a sudden, she got to sit Joseph down and tell Joseph, I'm pregnant.

[Lead Pastor]

And God did it. Her assignment disrupted her desires for her life. So Mary deserves the attention she historically receives. But tonight.

[Assistant Pastor]

We need to have a.

[Lead Pastor]

Different conversation about another strong sister in.

[Assistant Pastor]

The text whose name is Elizabeth.

[Lead Pastor]

Did you hear what I just said? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Assistant Pastor]

Elizabeth is important. Elizabeth is essential. Elizabeth is significant. Elizabeth is necessary.

[Lead Pastor]

Because Elizabeth stay here is Mary's sign.

[Assistant Pastor]

I've got a little bit of help in here. I'm going to say that one more time.

[Lead Pastor]

I said Elizabeth is Mary's sign.

[Assistant Pastor]

And I believe this.

[Lead Pastor]

I promise you, I believe this in my soul.

[Assistant Pastor]

I really believe what God is getting ready to do through this message is awaken a degree of contentment with some of your assignments to be Elizabeths. Because we live in a culture, a Christian cultural context, where many of us prefer to be merry.

[Lead Pastor]

Spotlight, front and.

[Assistant Pastor]

Center, premier, adored, admired, exalted, The center of attention, the focus of people's affection. But. But I believe that some of us in the room have the anointing of Elizabeth Pastor. What do you mean?

[Lead Pastor]

It's here in the text in Luke, chapter number one. We read it together. Here's what Luke, who is a physician, so he's detailed. Here's what Luke makes sure we know. Luke says, here's.

[Assistant Pastor]

It's in the sixth month of Elizabeth's.

[Lead Pastor]

Pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth in a town called Galilee. Wait a minute. I thought this story was about Mary. But Luke says, just so you know.

[Assistant Pastor]

It'S in the sixth month of Elizabeth's.

[Lead Pastor]

Pregnancy that Mary gets the word that she's supernaturally conceived.

[Assistant Pastor]

Come on here. I'm going to say this one more time. Luke says it's in the sixth month.

[Lead Pastor]

Of Elizabeth's pregnancy that God sends the.

[Assistant Pastor]

Angel Gabriel to announce to Mary, you pregnant? Okay, one more time. It's in the sixth month of Elizabeth's.

[Lead Pastor]

Pregnancy that God sends a messenger, angel Gabriel, to Mary to let her know. You pregnant. Why not the first month?

[Assistant Pastor]

Why not the second?

[Lead Pastor]

Third?

[Assistant Pastor]

Because in the sixth, you showing.

[Lead Pastor]

Showing. Who's going to help me preach tonight? He waited until she was showing before.

[Assistant Pastor]

He sent a word to Mary that she was pregnant. Maybe you're unfamiliar with Elizabeth's story. Elizabeth was unable to conceive a child. As a matter of fact, the Bible says she was past childbearing age. Did you hear what I just said? So biologically, she was incapable of conceiving a child. Age Wise, she is incapable of conceiving a child. Her husband, who works in the synagogue, did not even believe she could conceive a child. And because doubt is so dangerous, God took his voice. Come on here. Come on here. Because doubt is dangerous when you're in a season where you're trying to give birth to something that is uncommon, unusual, and supernatural. And God was protective of what Elizabeth was carrying because he knew that Elizabeth needed to get pregnant not just so that she could get pregnant. She needed to get pregnant so that Mary could believe supernatural pregnancy is possible. So he took Zechariah's voice.

[Lead Pastor]

And said, I can't let you speak doubt over this. She's too fragile right now. So he waited until the sixth month and he comes to Mary and say, mary, you are blessed and highly favored because you're going to carry the answer to the issues that exist in the world. Here it is. God uses people as previews of your promise. And so Mary's need, Elizabeth's, Mary's need Elizabeths.

[Assistant Pastor]

Not so that you can believe.

[Congregant 1]

Come on.

[Assistant Pastor]

That God can do it for Elizabeth, but so that you can believe God can do it for you. Now, here's one of the ways.

[Lead Pastor]

Are y' all okay? Here's one of the ways I believe.

[Assistant Pastor]

You can discern if God is using this season of your life to make you a sign.

[Lead Pastor]

Are y' all ready for this?

[Assistant Pastor]

Did he let people see you in your non childbearing season?

[Lead Pastor]

Did you catch it? They missed it.

[Assistant Pastor]

He made sure that your non childbearing season had an audience.

[Lead Pastor]

Because.

[Assistant Pastor]

If people did not observe you in your non childbearing season.

[Lead Pastor]

They would.

[Assistant Pastor]

Not be able to diagnose and affirm that your pregnancy is a miracle. So he says, I'm going to create.

[Lead Pastor]

An audience on the back end that feel like doubters and haters.

[Assistant Pastor]

Did you hear what I just said? Yeah, I'm a create an audience in your non childbearing season that feel like critics and cynics. And then I'm not going to remove them. I'm going to keep them in close proximity so that the same ones that were cynical and critical, your non childbearing season will have to be the same ones that scratch their head when you walking around showing.

[Lead Pastor]

Lord, make me a sign. Make me a sign. So what is this text? Y' all tired already? What does this text teach us about becoming a sign? See, Luke here is not just reporting a miracle. Luke is revealing a pattern. He is showing us the different ways God may want to use us to be a sign for Others. Here it is. Can I give you a few things? All right. Here it is. The first thing I see in the text here is, God may want to use you and me to be a sign. Watch this. To show a miracle in the person. Okay. A woman past childbearing age isn't supposed to be able to conceive, and a virgin isn't supposed to be able to conceive.

[Assistant Pastor]

Did you hear what I just said?

[Lead Pastor]

I said a woman past childbearing age shouldn't be able to conceive, and a virgin shouldn't be able to conceive.

[Assistant Pastor]

But if I'm able to conceive when.

[Lead Pastor]

I'm past childbearing age.

[Assistant Pastor]

It is God.

[Lead Pastor]

Demonstrating his sovereignty over time.

[Assistant Pastor]

Not sovereignty over a period of time, but it's God demonstrating he's got sovereignty over time. Did you hear what I just said?

[Lead Pastor]

Yes.

[Assistant Pastor]

He is not controlled or limited by our time frame. He is sovereign over time. So Elizabeth getting pregnant says to us that God is able to.

[Lead Pastor]

To empower you and me to give.

[Assistant Pastor]

Birth to things in a season where naturally, it's too late. Did you hear what I just said? Yes. And I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you don't get this revelation, the enemy will use time to torture you. And the enemy, who is an accuser of the Brethren, will keep reminding you of the time you wasted and keep reminding you of the time you mismanaged and keep reminding you of the opportunities you missed because you did not take advantage of them earlier in your childbearing years. But God put women like Elizabeth in the Bible to let you and I know he is sovereign over time. And because he's sovereign over time, he can do it in a season in your life where other people think it's too late. Now, I'm getting ready to tell you to declare something. And you can just sit there and not if you don't believe it, but if you believe it, I want you to say it with conviction.

[Congregant 3]

He's still gonna do it.

[Assistant Pastor]

I'm not as young as I used.

[Congregant 3]

To be, but he's still gonna do it.

[Congregant 4]

And I made some mistakes, but he's.

[Congregant 3]

Still gonna do it.

[Congregant 4]

And I mismanaged some seasons, but he's.

[Congregant 3]

Still gonna do it.

[Congregant 4]

And I don't have the energy I used to have, but he still wants it. He may not come when you want him, but he's always on time.

[Assistant Pastor]

And if you believe he's still going.

[Congregant 4]

To do it, raise your voice and give him praise.

[Congregant 3]

Still going to do it. Still going to do it. Still going to do it. Still going to do it. Still gonna do it. Still gonna do it. Still gonna do it. Still gonna do it. Still gonna do it. Still gonna do it. Still gonna do it. Still gonna do it. Still gonna do it. Still gonna do it. He's still gonna do it.

[Congregant 4]

Not because you deserve it.

[Congregant 3]

He's still gonna do it.

[Assistant Pastor]

Cause, Mary, Did you hear what I just said? See, you think he's not going to do it because you don't deserve it, but he's not doing it for you. He's doing it for Mary.

[Congregant 4]

Mary needs to see that he can still do it.

[Lead Pastor]

Somebody should have felt that in your soul, The miracle in the person. But then, secondly, that's Elizabeth. Secondly, there's a miracle in the process. So the Lord may make you a sign by the miracle he works in you. Pregnancy is a metaphor for that. What he does in you, the miracle in the person. But for some of you, the Lord may want to make you a sign by the miracle he does in the process. What do you mean? Mary was a virgin. Okay, we don't do biology, do we? Theology. Let's not do biology. Mary was a virgin, but she was pregnant. Now, there's normally a process, But the Immaculate Conception is a revelation of God's ability to do it without the process.

[Assistant Pastor]

That everybody else has to go through to get it done. Come on here.

[Lead Pastor]

Yeah.

[Assistant Pastor]

And I know everybody else has had it done a certain way, but sometimes God works a miracle by exercising his sovereignty and allowing you and I to skip a process. It means that you and I do not have to live a life where we believe God is bound to specific and certain processes. This is not an endorsement of shortcuts. It's a revelation of sovereignty.

[Lead Pastor]

Mary's pregnancy.

[Assistant Pastor]

If you're not behind schedule, don't say anything here, but Mary's pregnancy, the Immaculate Conception, is a miracle where God enables a woman to skip some steps.

[Congregant 1]

Whoa.

[Assistant Pastor]

You missed it. There's a step, step in between. Come on, Church. That she got to skip. And watch this. Now, the Bible says he makes my feet like hind's feet. Did you hear what I just said?

[Lead Pastor]

Yeah.

[Assistant Pastor]

And I don't know if you've ever seen hind or a deer. Deers don't just step. Deers leap. God is not just the God that orders your steps. God is also the God that orchestrates your leaps. And I know every leap year comes around periodically, but in the Kingdom, every year is a leap year. And I want somebody that believes you're getting ready to skip some Steps.

[Congregant 4]

And you're getting ready to leap forward. That God's gonna make up some lost time to go ahead and thank him.

[Assistant Pastor]

This is my leap year. This is my leap year.

[Congregant 4]

This is my leap month. This is my leap week. I'm leaping into my future. I'm leaping into my assignment. I'm leaping into God's next for my life.

[Assistant Pastor]

I believe people are getting ready to.

[Lead Pastor]

Ask you how you get there, and.

[Assistant Pastor]

You'Re gonna tell him, I leaped here. Good God almighty. How did you accomplish that?

[Congregant 4]

I leaped here. How did you come back from that? I leaped here. Somebody that believes God's getting ready to help you leap, raise your voice and shout in this house, I'm leaping.

[Congregant 2]

I'm leaping. I'm leaping.

[Congregant 4]

Watch me leap. Watch me leap.

[Congregant 2]

I'm leaping. I'm leaping. I'm leaping. I'm leaping. I'm leaping. I'm leaping. I'm leaping. I'm leaping. I'm leaping. I'm leaping. I'm leaping. I'm leaping. I'm leaping. I'm leaping. I'm leaping. I'm leaping. I'm leaping. I'm leaping. I'm leaping.

[Congregant 1]

I'm leaving.

[Congregant 4]

Y' all quiet me. If you believe that one more time, release a praise all over this house.

[Assistant Pastor]

I believe we stepped in something. We done hit a prophetic flow.

[Congregant 4]

God wants to just reiterate that point.

[Assistant Pastor]

He wants to remind you.

[Congregant 4]

He wants to push out all doubt, all anxiousness, all fear. You getting ready to catch up. I said you're getting ready to catch up. I said you're getting ready to catch up. You're getting ready to leave. Somebody say it.

[Congregant 1]

I leave. I'm leap.

[Congregant 2]

I'm leaving.

[Congregant 1]

I'm leaving. I'm leaving. I'm dreaming.

[Assistant Pastor]

I'm leaving.

[Congregant 1]

I'm dreaming. I'm leaving. I'm dreaming. I'm dreaming.

[Congregant 3]

I'm done.

[Lead Pastor]

I'm done.

[Congregant 1]

Care. Oh, I. Glory to glory. From glory to glory. From glory to glory. Leap.

[Lead Pastor]

God may want to use you to show I can do a miracle in a person. God may want to use you to show others I can do a miracle with the process. Or finally, he may want to use you to show others I can do a miracle with a partner. Here's what the Lord showed me. Elizabeth, is Mary's answer to the issue of isolation. Because sometimes you feel like I'm the only one. And I'm talking to people tonight who got a crowd around you, but you still feel lonely. They love you, but they can't relate to what you carry.

[Assistant Pastor]

Did you hear What I just said. They don't know what it's like to.

[Lead Pastor]

Carry what you're carrying.

[Assistant Pastor]

They don't know what it's like for.

[Lead Pastor]

Your feet to swell.

[Assistant Pastor]

They don't know what it's like to go through morning sickness.

[Congregant 1]

They want.

[Assistant Pastor]

They don't know what it's like to have to sleep on your your side and on your back. They can't relate. And sometimes we deal with isolation.

[Lead Pastor]

Cuz you carrying something very few people carry. I know what I'm talking about, Tim. I felt that way carrying this church Third way, Kings Way. That can feel real lonely because a lot of people love second way. And second way is lucrative. Second way is popular. And so when you're carrying third way, you can feel isolated. You can feel like a zebra without stripes. And Elizabeth represents the person God supernaturally sends to your life. Who is so divinely joined that when you come into proximity, what's in you leap? Do y' all know this story?

[Assistant Pastor]

When you come into proximity with each other, what's in you leap. And what's in them leap? Come on here. Because there's a divine synergy.

[Lead Pastor]

And God may want to use your story to let Mary know you're not the only one. Be the answer to somebody's issue of isolation. Lord, make me a sign. Not just a recipient of miracles, but a reflection of them. Not just someone who sees your power, but someone who becomes living proof of it. Elizabeth was a sign, but she had to be. Had to live six months feeling like she was the only one. She had to had to live six months before God sent Mary to make sense out of what she was carrying. And some of you confused now because it doesn't make sense. But you're not in the sixth month yet. The sixth month is coming where God makes sense out of it all.
