In order to experience the plans that God has for us in this life, we need to accept the Holy Spirit into our lives. Pastor Bill teaches us today that just like Mary listened to the words of the angel Gabriel and received the blessing of carrying Jesus, you and I have the privilege to carry the power of God around with us as well. When we accept the Holy Spirit’s power in our lives, He will work in our hearts and change the world around us. But He won’t do any of that if we don’t accept Him with a cheerful heart.
