The Fulfillment of Promises w/ Liz Wright
“He is working out His plans and purposes in perfect timing.” - Liz Wright
Merry Christmas! The mystery and wonder of Christ’s birth is here for us to embrace and experience in a new way. God is calling us to encounter His presence through His Word, and specifically, through the revelation of His sovereignty and perfect timing, and how we are invited to partner with Him as found in Luke’s telling of the Christmas story. In this episode, Liz shares about the miracle of Christ’s birth, and the keys meant for us now as carriers of the King. Liz also shares a powerful prophetic word about how the Lord is breathing new life on the seeds of truth within you, bringing words that have seemed lifeless back to the forefront and renewing their purpose!
Now is the time to catch a revelation of the perfect timing and sovereign nature of God, who is working out His plans and purposes for His glory in your life. The Lord has anointed us with great favor because the King is in us now, and like Mary, He is accomplishing what He means to in partnership with us. There is a charge given to us in Luke’s retelling: “Do not yield to your fear.” The King who is reigning right now, who upholds all things in the power of His Word, wants to give us the gift of Himself again, banishing fear and bringing peace. Though there may be promises yet unfulfilled in this season of your life, receive Liz’s prophetic declaration that you are pregnant with the promises of God, and the Holy Spirit is moving afresh on areas that may feel like they have no life. Thank You, Jesus, for Your cloud of glory that is igniting the seed of truth inside of each of us.
Receive the fresh grace to believe with Him again, and not one promise from God is empty of power. As you listen, may you experience the resurrection power of Jesus found in the glory of His presence this holiday season.
0:00 I am Liz Wright. Welcome to Live Your Best Life. The only thing that matters now is living by the power of this wonderful new creation life. We're going to become an undefeatable force of radiating glory and we are rising up strong now in this hour. Hello everybody, thank you for tuning in for today's extremely special episode of Live Your Best Life with of course, me Liz Wright. And the reason why it's extremely special is because it's my Christmas time with you. So I want to start by saying happy Christmas, happy blessed Christmas celebrating the birth of our beautiful Saviour and King, Emmanuel with us, right? God with us. Amazing. Thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus for coming into the earth in the person of a man. God with skin on, the man Jesus, holy walking the earth, embracing his beloved creation, embracing everybody, restoring back to people hope, restoring dignity, healing lives, healing hearts. I just always think, you know, when I think about Jesus walking in the earth, I just think about the amount of joy that
1:34 must have been emanating from him and just the life, you know, the life of God who is love and kindness and goodness and, you know, the joy that must have been inside of Jesus as he walked amongst his beloved people, his beloved creation, right? It just blows me away, blows me away. So I wanted to read to you to begin with. I wanted to read one of the Christmas verses, but there's a particular verse in there that Holy Spirit just quickened to me that I just wanted to draw out for us as a gift for you this Christmas. It's a gift of revelation straight from Jesus's heart to your heart as encouragement and empowerment.
2:25 You as one of his beloved creation, right? Speaking life, transforming truth from his heart into your heart to shift your life, to change things, which is what he does, isn't it? I know I just think of the word of God when he illuminates a scripture for us and he breathes it fresh into our heart. It's like just being kissed all over again by his kindness, isn't it? The kisses of God as he's just releasing his spirit, his rough breath, you know, fresh life sporing into us again through the truth that we've now just seen all over again. You know, like I said, you know, that's who he is, isn't it? We see who he is as we see God demonstrated, revealed through the life of Jesus, you know, as he walked among us and he raised the dead and he cleansed the lepers and he cast out demons and he healed and healed and healed and healed and loved and loved and loved and provided for and showed us the kingdom and showed us who God is and that he's love and he's good and he's for us and he's for you. And this right now on this very special day where you're just remembering him and giving thanks for all that he did and for coming to us, you know, that you will experience him again and you will. So this is reading very famous, but like I said, there's one particular verse that just is like just exploded into my heart for us for today. So this is reading from Luke one and it's the account of where Mary
4:04 conceived Jesus by Holy Spirit. So it says reading from verse 26, during the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, the angel Gabriel was sent from God's presence to an unmarried girl named Mary living in Nazareth, a village in Galilee. I mean, just stop there for a second. I'm going to keep reading, but just consider the account we've just read. You know, the fact that just to be encouraged by the sovereignty of God, that he's watching over the earth, that he's intervening as we know in our lives in earth circumstances, that he's working out his plans and purposes in perfect timing, he's the king of glory and nothing, there's nothing happening that he's unaware of. He's in the detail. He's bringing all things into conformity with the Council of his will, right? He's the Alpha and Omega. He's the one who releases Gabriel. He's the one who releases Michael. He's the one who releases angels from the realm of glory to come and take care of us, to bring messages to us from him. Jesus, thank you for the angels visiting us today. Thank you for visitations from Gabriel and visitations from Michael and visitations from other angels and us experiencing the power of your kingdom realm in our lives this day. Jesus, I agree for it. All of our hearts want this. You know this, Lord, we're always hungering for more
5:36 of you and more reality of your kingdom to break in and strengthen us and shift us and bring the miracles and bring the transforming change that's massively needed in our lives and in those that we love and know about. Amazing. Amazing. So thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus, for more angelic visitations as we're going forward and on into the New Year. Let it be full of angelic visitations, full of visitations from you, from the cloud of witnesses, full of strength as your truth permeates into the centre of our being, revelation, light flooding the eyes of our understanding that we would be consumed with truth. Thank you, Jesus. Wow. Amen. Anyway, moving on. So during the six month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, the angel Gabriel was sent from God's presence to an unmarried girl named Mary living in Nazareth, a village in Galilee. She was engaged to a man named Joseph, a true descendant of King David. Gabriel appeared to her and said, Grace to you, young woman, for the Lord is with you. And so you are anointed with great favour. Cool. Let's stop there for a moment.
6:56 You're going to feel Holy Spirit saying you are also, remember, highly favoured, highly favoured. So as Gabriel said, Grace to you, young woman, for the Lord is with you. And so you are anointed with great favour. So the Lord is with you, right? He's with me and he's anointed us with great favour because the King's within us now. Amazing. Wow. As the King was being put inside of Mary's womb sovereignly by the Spirit of God. So Holy Spirit has been put inside of you sovereignly at the will of, at his intention, the will of God to now reside within you. It's amazing, amazing Jesus, being encouraged, being powered to you are now carrier of the King, walking in the earth with great favour, great favour because you are highly favoured by the King of glory and highly favoured by your Father in whose image you have been made. So carrying on, Mary was deeply troubled over the words of the angel and bewildered over what this may mean for her. But the angel reassured her saying, do not yield to your fear. That's a powerful word in itself, isn't it? And he's saying again, I can feel the Holy Spirit moving while I'm sharing. He's saying to you as well, don't fear, do not yield to your fear. So if fear is moving through you, fear is coming at you, don't yield to it, don't surrender and go under it, notice it and then lean into
8:32 the one who's the solution. You can move supernatural threat, faith right through your heart, right now in a moment and shift the fear off. Breathe through you with fresh love, hope and empowerment, the certainty of who you are in him and his love for you in a moment and everything changes. Your circumstances may be the same but you are now different on the inside, responding differently to your circumstances because the King just showed up. He's within you, moving, breathing fresh strength inside of you because he's there. So do not yield to your fear. Do not yield to your fear Mary, for the Lord has found delight in you and has chosen to surprise you with a wonderful gift. You will become pregnant with a baby boy and you are to name him Jesus. He will be supreme and will be known as the Son of the Highest or in other translations the Son of the Most High God and the Lord God will enthrone him as King on his ancestor David's throne. He will reign as King of Israel forever and his reign will have no limit. It's not amazing just listening to Gabriel's words to Mary there, it gives us fresh perspective regarding the sovereignty of who our God is.
10:07 I love that. He will reign as King of Israel forever and his reign will have no limit. His reign will have no end. It's the truth isn't it? His reign will have no end. He's just revealed himself to his creation now so that we can participate in our partnership with him and be restored in our understanding of the family that we belong to of who our Father is. Oh Holy Spirit. Wow as creator sovereign King. King over Israel forever whose reign will have no end, has no limit, has no limit, has no limitations. We can lean into his sovereignty, we can lean into his faithfulness. He is the King who reigns, who is reigning right now, who's reigning right now and all you have to do in that difficult situation that you're facing is yield it to him, release it to him to the one who is reigning, the one who is authority. Release him, I just want to stay here for a moment, release the impossibilities to him. Wow, wow, wow sit them at the feet of the one who is sovereign, who is reigning. If he wasn't, the earth would implode wouldn't it? Life as we know it would
11:39 enfold, it would fold up and cease to exist like the Word of God says, he upholds all things by the power of his Word. He upholds all things, he speaks and creates the one who was sovereignly put into Mary's womb and came for the man. Wow, wow to show us who we are, to reveal truth to us, the one who is reigning, who is absolute sovereign authority, he wants us to know him. He wants to give us the gift of himself again, over Christmas, fresh revelation of who he is, a deeper understanding, capacity to rest inside in our hearts, in the strength of his sovereignty. Thank you Jesus, the one whose reign knows no end and never will because he's God. Right, he's the source of life, he's the source of your life, he's the source of all things good, of goodness and mercy and kindness being in favour, being bestowed upon you, of healing flowing into you, of love increasing in you, of security, of knowing his love for you, your value to him. Wow, your value is an image bearer of God as a child of the King, as one who now carries the King. Wow, holy Spirit,
13:13 is that amazing. Of course Mary carried the King in his physical form, we now carry the King in his spiritual form, in his spirit within us, we are now the body of Christ, just amazing. Oh, thank you Holy Spirit, okay, reading on, reading on, Mary said, but how could this happen, I am still a virgin, Gabriel answered, the Spirit of holiness will soar upon you and Almighty God will spread his shadow of power over you in a cloud of glory.
13:55 Wow, wow, wow, can you feel his spirit moving right now? Wow, this Spirit of holiness will fall upon you and Almighty God will spread his shadow of power over you in a cloud of glory. Jesus, wow, wow, wow, okay I just saw in the Spirit, you pregnant so to speak with the Word of God with the promises of God, so I just want to come in agreement with the Lord right now and with the power of this truth, the power of his Word right now as his Holy Spirit is moving afresh, things that feel like even that have just lost their life, you don't have any capacity to believe in those promises anymore, they're still within you, they were impregnated into your spiritual womb to use that kind of language. That Word of Truth, that seed of promise is within you, he just wants to release fresh resurrection life onto it. So right now just bring those promises that you've been holding or the desires of your heart to see loved ones walking with Jesus, to see healing happening, just to the
15:26 promises that are not yet fulfilled in your life, promises that you've read in scripture that should be part of your life experience as a child of God, as a bride, as a Christ, as an image bearer of God, who's now living new creation life. If you're not where you're seeing, there's a difference between your life experience as a reality gap that's temporal between your life experiences and what you see promised in the scripture. Or if you know that the Lord's spoken to you in the past about a vision you should be moving forward in or something he wants to do for your life or somebody else that you've been believing for and you feel like you've gone into striving and overwhelm or it's just gone. Right now I speak in agreement with the Word of God this truth over you. The Spirit of Holiness, wow, who is within you, the Spirit of Holiness will and is surrounding you, will fall upon you right now and Almighty God. Wow, wow, wow, wow. Happy Christmas guys. Wow. The Spirit of Holiness, happy Christmas from Jesus, golly, the Spirit of Holiness will fall upon you and Almighty God will spread his shadow of power over you in a cloud of glory, in a cloud of
17:07 glory. Wow, thank you Jesus for your cloud of glory, for your overshadowing presence. Thank you right now for that which my brother or sister is carrying, being infused with fresh life right now. I thank you for the seed of truth that they're carrying inside of them, igniting and coming alive with the resurrection power from your spirit, pouring through them. Wow, wow, feeling waves of the Holy Spirit right now. Just receive that life, receive the resurrection life, just receive it, open your heart wide and let revelation light move in from the Jesus' heart to your heart, the King is breathing fresh life into the things that you've been carrying in your spiritual womb that you have not seen birthed yet in the natural realm. He's saying they will be birthed. There's fresh resurrection life pouring into you right now, there's fresh grace to believe again, to be able to run with him again in partnership, trusting him, trusting him.
18:08 He's saying lean into him, lean into him. Just let go, flop into the arms of his indwelling presence, into his embrace, the arms of his embrace which is his presence right now. Wow, wow, wow, we thank you Jesus for resurrection life, your Spirit of Life surging through right now, my brother or sister and releasing fresh strength and grace to believe again. Thank you, I can see the truth, it's like they're exploding like popcorn. These explosions they've been in seed form and now they're popping, they're popping, popping, popping. Thank you Jesus for life, life, life springing forth. I can see the popping and then I could see like shoots of light, shoots of life, fresh life coming through and then actually moving very, very quickly, the growth happening very, very quickly. So we thank you for growth, we thank you for life, we thank you Jesus, it's in your strength. So the scripture the Lord also just quickened to me is as the seed goes down into the ground and it dies, it brings forth the harvest, there's multiplication. I felt like this is what's coming forth now from you is coming forth out of the Spirit of God. So the life of Jesus is the undergirding strength, is the life force for the new growth, for the expression of his intention that you've carried and you've tried to carry and then you've had to let go of, for some of you you've
19:40 had to let go of. But if you're whatever stage you're at, he's breathing on the truth that's within you, he's breathing on the truth. Thank you Jesus, oh my gosh, powerful word, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. This Spirit of holiness will fall upon you and Almighty God will spread his shadow of power over you in a cloud of glory, just keep meditating on that scripture over Christmas and apply it, apply it, apply it in your worship time as you're having time with him in the Word of God as you're just sitting aware of his presence, just meditate on it. Bring the unfulfilled promises to Jesus, bring his promises to Jesus, he is breathing, he's breathing to bring it forth and I can feel him and see him bringing forth the incarnation of his own nature in your life more and more and more as well. Love and joy, the fruit of the Spirit, right, love and joy and peace and patience and goodness and kindness and gentleness and faithfulness and self-control, no matter how you're feeling, no matter how oppressive things might be for you, they might be delightful, they might be oppressive. The Spirit of God, irrespective of emotional responses to situations temporarily, external circumstances, you can live in the power of his nature. The power of the fruit
21:11 of the Spirit is the strength of the nature of God inside of us, right? You can do that regardless, regardless. He is the power for fruitful living, he is the nature that's to reveal from you and he's watching over his promises, he's watching over his Word to perform it, he's bringing you forth into conformity with the counsel of his will. His intention is a people that look just like him, a people that radiate Christ, right, and that's you and me. So he's doing that as well. So this is why, the scripture goes on to say, this is why the child born to you will be holy and he will be called the Son of God. Wow, wow, I just want to stop there again, Holy Spirit is quickened, another truth to me.
22:04 He just said the things that are brought forth that are born of him are holy. So this seed, for some of you where promises have died, you've given up on them, you've given up on the belief for healing, you've just got too tired with it, too weary with it, he's shifting you from striving self-affirth into his strength and what he brings forth is holy. What he brings forth is holy. Wow, wow, what he brings forth, what the Creator brings forth is beautiful, is holy, has eternal value, glorifies him. The healing will glorify him, it will reveal him to be the truth, reveal him, it will reveal so much of who he is to other people and your healing will become other people's hope so that they then can also be restored. What he brings forth is holy and then that testimony, that ministry, that business, that relationship restored, that family reconciled, that whatever it is, the financial breakthrough, the peace where there's devastation or war, whatever, whatever is going on, he is the Redeemer, he is the Redeemer and as he brings forth his promises, they incarnate, the Word incarnates,
23:35 his Word incarnates, it is holy and it will be hugely fruitful. So he's saying be encouraged, be encouraged. Yes, for some of us there has been what Sam felt like a very agonising delay and confusion. He's giving you the gift of himself again for Christmas, fresh faith coming from him, fresh grace coming from him to believe again, fresh empowerment, fresh peace, fresh healing. Thank you Jesus. Wow. Wow, what's more, your aged Aunt Elizabeth scripture goes on to say has also become pregnant with the Son. The barren one is now in her sixth month. Now this is the verse, clearly Holy Spirit highlighted a lot today for us, but this is the verse that gripped me, just listen to this. Not one promise from God is empty of power, for nothing is impossible for God. Just open your heart right now, if you can, fix your heart's attention onto Jesus, if you're not driving, close your eyes, just fix your heart's attention, embrace him in the hug of your heart's attention and your
25:10 desire to really believe this, really see it, come in agreement, come in agreement with his truth, synchronise, harmonise like I was sharing on last week's show. Thank you Jesus and I've been sharing it in our IMC. Thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus. Wow. Holy Spirit, harmonise, synchronise, come in agreement, that's in the Greek, they're all the rich meanings of that one truth. When we come in agreement in the original language it means we are synchronising, we are harmonising. Thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus, that we are harmonising right now as we come in agreement with your truth over all the promises in our lives that haven't yet been realised. Over every impossibility that we face we thank you that your heart's intention is that you would be revealed through them and you would become a hope to others, we would be living epistles. We agree with your truth so just let your heart say this to Jesus, that moment that faith ignites so you can feel on the inside, I agree with this, I believe this, that's supernatural, right,
26:44 that supernatural faith from Holy Spirit moving inside of you, that's the moment that things begin to manifest, you have already got your breakthrough, faith is the substance of things hoped for, right, the evidence of things not seen. So when you know it it becomes substance, faith is substance, it begins to materialise, here you'll start to see the breakthrough. Thank you Jesus for the truth, we agree, we agree, not one promise from God is empty of power, not one promise of God is empty of power, for nothing is impossible with God, okay, I'm going to read that scripture one more time but this time I'm going to say it, personalising it, speaking it from my heart to Jesus so let this be language for your own heart, Jesus not one promise from you is empty of power, wow, not one promise from you is empty of power, for nothing is impossible with you, nothing is impossible with you, I thank you Jesus, that your intention today is that my heart would be convinced that your
28:16 promises are true, the intention of your heart behind why you spoke each one of your promises is that I would experience your intention manifesting in my life because your word, your promises are coming straight from your heart, they contain power, they are not empty of power, they are not void, they never return to you having not accomplished that by which you sent your promises, your word forth to do to achieve, so you are faithful and true, you are not a man that you would lie, you are faithful Jesus and I agree, I agree, I synchronise, I harmonise, I come into full agreement from my union with you, one heart, one mind, one spirit, one with you, fruitful and streaming from my life, your word alive and active, your word incarnating here, thank you Jesus, you as a living word, you came forth as the word and dwelt among us, I thank you for your promises coming forth manifesting
29:47 here, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, your intention incarnating again here, thank you Jesus, revealed through my life, revealed through my life, wow, thank you Jesus, impossibilities bow to the supremacy of your sovereignty Jesus, you are the Redeemer, you are the healer, you are the Prince of Peace, thank you for love saturating my brothers and sisters now, wherever there is a love deficit in any of us, wherever our hearts are not fully convinced of how loved we are, how beautiful you are, I thank you that they will see you this Christmas in your glory, they will see you as sovereign king, they will have angelic visitations, they will see breakthroughs happening, thank you Jesus for you showering them with gifts, the gift of capacity to believe you again, to believe you for your promises manifesting in their life, for your goodness and your mercy, it says in your word, following them all the days of their life and them dwelling in your house, in your presence forever and ever and ever, thank you Jesus, this Christmas that they each one, that we all become, falling in love with you all over again, becoming consumed with you as our first love, wow, thank you
31:19 Jesus for being able to minister to your heart, receive your love and manifest your love to everybody else around us to give you to others, your presence as the gift of Christmas, we are so grateful Jesus, we are so thankful for you, amen, amen, amen, amen, have the most beautiful Christmas, the first and foremost in the presence of Jesus, so where again of his beautiful presence within you and in folding you and him being the solution to your every issue in life that you face and the one who is faithful and true and is bringing for his promises to you in your life and your heart will be overwhelmed with gratitude, I can see you celebrating actually, I can see the victories happening as the promises pop and grow and materialize and are from him, so have the most beautiful Christmas and I look forward to being with you again next week for our New Year's Day special version of a special episode of Live Your Best Life, God bless, happy, happy Christmas.
32:31 Jesus said to me if I would create a space for him, he would come and he has. We now have people from all over the world as part of what has now become known as the international mentoring community gathering together at his feet every week and he is moving powerfully and I want to invite you to come on this amazing journey together with us, come and join me I am seeing.
