Divine Encounter: Luke 1:39-45
“39) Now at this time Mary arose and went in a hurry to the hill country, to a city of Judah, 40) and entered the house of Zacharias and greeted Elizabeth. 41) When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42) And she cried out with a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43) And how has it happened to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me? 44) For behold, when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy. 45) And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord.”” Luke 1:39-45
According to verse 36, Elizabeth was a relative of Mary’s. She was in the sixth month of her pregnancy with John the Baptist.
As soon as Mary called out a greeting, John jumped for joy in the womb of Elizabeth and she was filled with the Holy Spirit. It became a divine encounter.
When people are filled with the Holy Spirit, God begins to reveal Divine truth to them. (1 Corinthians 2:19-13; Ephesians 1:17-18) Such was the case with Elizabeth. She immediately blessed Mary and the fruit of her womb.
At this point, Mary was less than a month pregnant. There was no outward indignation that she was with child. The Holy Spirit was revealing truth to Elizabeth.
This was an indication of things to come. Not only was the Messiah conceived, but the Holy Spirit was about to fill ordinary people.
If you know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, you should be sealed and filled with the power of the Holy Spirit as well. Start learning everything from the Bible you can about the Holy Spirit and spiritual gifts. Embrace your new life in Christ! Learn to walk in the Spirit and not your flesh.
