“…for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” (Matthew 1:20-21 NASB) 1. HOLY ANTICIPATION, FOR PREPARATION WAIT WITH HOLY ANTICIPATION, NOT WITH CONSTERNATION 2. HOLY ANTICIPATION KEEPS YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT GOD WILL DO “ ‘Behold, the virgin shall be with child and shall bear a Son, and they shall call His Name Immanuel,’ which…means, ‘God with us.’” (Matthew 1:23 NASB)
3. ANTICIPATION IS NOT A MATTER OF “ HOW ”, IT’S A MATTER OF “ WHEN ” “Mary said to the angel, ‘How can this be, since I am a virgin?’” (Luke1:34 NASB) “For nothing will be impossible with God. (38) Mary said, ‘Behold, thebondslave of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word.’ And the angel departed.” (Luke 1:37-38 NASB)
