Luke 1:34 “Mary asked the angel,” But how can this happen? I am a virgin.”
2) Jesus would come from the line of David Psalm 89:3-2 “You have said, “I have made a covenant with my chosen one; I have sworn to David my servant;’ I will establish your offspring forever, and build your throne for all generations.” (referring to the promise God gave to David in 2 Samuel 7:12-13)

God needs nothing but a willing heart to do the miraculous.
It’s never too late for God to fill you and there is nothing more you need to do for Him to fill you.
