Luke 1:37-45 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
39 And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
40 And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

Scripture Commentaries
In the life of a person, there will be a time in a season that will mark God's transforming visitation in his/her life.
This visitation usually marks a turning point and his/her will never remain as it was.
As God is working so also there are powers of darkness at work, unrelenting in pursuit of your, joy, peace, and prosperity.
These powers are out to destroy your relationship with God. Job says this evil power, Satan, in Job 1: 7 goes "....to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
In our text of today, Elizabeth was barren but had now conceived. She and her husband in spite of their barrenness continued to serve God. While in the Lord's service, they received a day of visitation, Luke 1:6-7, 13.

We will not receive God's visitation if we are not diligent and we have a root of bitterness. Heb 12:16 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many are defiled;
Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
The secret to receiving in this season of visitation is in:
Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap if we faint not.
