Love, Blessed & Highly Favored

By Apostle Blake L. Higginbotham

Luke 1:26-38 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by Yahweh to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, Yahweh is with you; blessed are you among women!” 29But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. 30Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with Yahweh. 31And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Yahshua. 32He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Sovereign Elohim will give Him the throne of His father David. 33And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” 34Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”35And the angel answered and said to her, “Ruach Haqudesh will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of Yahweh. 36Now indeed, Elizabeth your relative has also conceived a son in her old age; and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. 37For with Yahweh nothing will be impossible.” 38Then Mary said, “Behold the maidservant of the Lord! Let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

Esther 5:1-3 Now, it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king’s palace, across from the king’s house, while the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, facing the entrance of the house. 2So it was, when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court that she found favor in his sight, and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. Then Esther went near and touched the top of the scepter. 3And the king said to her, “What do you wish, Queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given to you up to half the kingdom!”

The story of Esther is a Messianic prophetic similitude, typifying the heart and attitude that we all should have as it pertains to our relationship with Yahshua the King of Kings. It is with a humble, submissive and unassuming heart that we should approach the King of Kings.
If we are going to be highly favored we are going to have to enter into His throne room in a way that pleases Him. It is a Holy, uncompromising heart that will get His attention and when He turns to look on us He will see the beauty and glory of a chaste bride, adorned, prepared and ready to receive Him. It is then that Yahshua will favor us and give of His Kingdom to us. In that day, the third-day, we will rule and reign in life by Messiah Yahshua. This is the third-day. We must enter into Him in order to enter into His rest. We are the loved, blessed and highly favored?

Hosea 6:1- 3 Come, and let us return to Yahweh; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. 2After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight. 3Let us know, let us pursue the knowledge of Yahweh. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the earth.

Proverbs 16:15 In the light of the king’s face is life, and his favor is like a cloud of the latter rain.

2Corinthians 4:13-14 And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, 14knowing that He who raised up the Sovereign Yahshua will also raise us up with Yahshua, and will present us with you.
Day One: In the first day He saved, healed, & delivered us; (Prophetic fulfillment of a type) Outer Court – (Altar, Golden Laver) = Thirty-fold understanding of Yahweh’s will and purpose of life.

Day Two: In the second day we were baptized in Holy Spirit, gifts, revelatory knowledge, etc. (Prophetic fulfillment of a type) Inner court or Holy Place (Show Bread, Lampstand) = Sixty-fold understanding of Yahweh’s will and purpose of life.

Day Three: In the third-day the Son (the corporate man) will rise in His glory and strength and be all the He was created to be from the foundation of the world. He will rule in life by Messiah Yahshua the world in which we live. (Prophetic fulfillment of a type) Holiest of Holies or Most Holy Place – (Ark of the Covenant, Mercy Seat, Beyond the veil) – One Hundred-fold understanding of Yahweh’s will and purpose of life.

Psalm 18:1- 50 I will love You, Yahweh, my strength. 2Yahweh is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my Elohim, my strength, in whom I will trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. 3I will call upon Yahweh, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies. 4The pangs of death surrounded me, and the floods of ungodliness made me afraid. 5The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of death confronted me. 6In my distress I called upon Yahweh, and cried out to my Elohim; He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry came before Him, even to His ears. 7Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken, because He was angry. 8Smoke went up from His nostrils, and devouring fire from His mouth; Coals were kindled by it. 9He bowed the heavens also, and came down with darkness under His feet. 10And He rode upon a cherub, and flew; he flew upon the wings of the wind. 11He made darkness His secret place; his canopy around Him was dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. 12From the brightness before Him, His thick clouds passed with hailstones and coals of fire. 13 Yahweh thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered His voice, Hailstones and coals of fire. 14He sent out His arrows and scattered the foe, lightnings in abundance, and He vanquished them. 15Then the channels of the sea were seen, the foundations of the world were uncovered at Your rebuke, Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils. 16He sent from above, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.
17He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too strong for me. 18They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but Yahweh was my support. 19He also brought me out into a broad place; He delivered me because He delighted in me.20 Yahweh rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands he has recompensed me. 21For I have kept the ways of Yahweh, and have not wickedly departed from my Elohim. 22For all His judgments were before me, and I did not put away His statutes from me. 23I was also blameless before Him, and I kept myself from my iniquity. 24Therefore Yahweh has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight. 25With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; with a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless; 26With the pure You will show Yourself pure; and with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd. 27For You will save the humble people, but will bring down haughty looks. 28For You will light my lamp; Yahweh my Elohim will enlighten my darkness. 29For by You I can run against a troop, by my Elohim I can leap over a wall. 30As for Elohim His way is perfect; the word of Yahweh is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him. 31For who is Elohim, except Yahweh? And is a rock, except our Elohim? 32It is Elohim who arms me with strength, and makes my way perfect. 33He makes my feet like the feet of deer, and sets me on my high places. 34He teaches my hands to make war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. 35You have also given me the shield of Your salvation; Your right hand has held me up, Your gentleness has made me great. 36You enlarged my path under me, So my feet did not slip. 37I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them; neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.38I have wounded them, so that they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.39For You have armed me with strength for the battle; You have subdued under me those who rose up against me. 40You have also given me the necks of my enemies, so that I destroyed those who hated me. 41They cried out, but there was none to save; even to Yahweh, but He did not answer them. 42Then I beat them as fine as the dust before the wind; I cast them out like dirt in the streets. 43You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; You have made me the head of the nations; A people I have not known shall serve me. 44As soon as they hear of me they obey me; the foreigners submit to me.45The foreigners fade away, and come frightened from their hideouts. 46Yahweh lives! Blessed be my Rock! Let the Elohim of my salvation be exalted. 47It is Elohim who avenges me, and subdues the peoples under me; 48He delivers me from my enemies. You also lift me up above those who rise against me;
You have delivered me from the violent man. 49Therefore I will give thanks to You, Yahweh, among the Gentiles, and sing praises to Your name. 50Great deliverance He gives to His king, and shows mercy to His anointed, to David and his descendants forevermore.

Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said to her, “Ruach Haqudesh will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of Yahweh.

Overshadow G1982 dðéóêéÜæ episkiazoô ep-ee-skee-ad'-zo From G1909 and a derivative of G4639; to cast a shade upon, that is, (by analogy) to envelop in a haze of brilliancy; figuratively to invest with preternatural influence:—overshadow.

If we are going to be highly favored in the third-day, we are going to have to prepare and adorn ourselves like Queen Esther in the beauty of Holiness. With a righteous uncompromising heart we are going to have pursue the practical will and purpose of Yahweh for our lives. Like Mary we are going to have to humble ourselves, become teachable and attentive to all that the Spirit is saying to the Ekklesia. We must be overshadowed by Ruach Haqudesh. Immaculate conception must take place in us that we may give birth to the Son of Yahweh in the earth a second time. His second coming will be in and through us. We are the anointed one. We are the manifested Sons of Yahweh. All of creation is groaning and travailing until now. Now is today if you can hear it.
