Have you ever received a word from God that seems simply too good to be true? Or you wondered how it was even going to be? Or everything God just said goes against your ideals and you’re struggling to accept it…! For Mary it would be the latter.
A Virgin espoused to be married, found with Child???? 😱😱😱. Trust me … that! doesn’t look right. If you were Mary what would you have done? Accept the word and stand the chance of losing your man? or hold on to the man and lose the chance of being the mother of the messiah???
And as easy a choice as it may seem it’s never really that easy… Sometimes God’s word comes to us and we find it hard to receive, for many reasons… sometimes we doubt that God is able to do what He said or we are afraid of the outcome… or that we don’t even deserve what He said He would do – “are you sure you know what you’re doing??” some of us may ask God. But here’s an example of faith that can be emulated.
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
Luke 1:38
Mary’s words matched what she believed in her heart. Mary’s Words set God’s Word concerning her into motion.
Job 22:28 (KJV) says, “Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.”
Like Mary, to see or experience the manifestation of God’s Word or promises, our words must match God’s Word. Your word is your wand and holds the keys to the manifestation of that word that you have received!
Mary said yes to a biologically impossible situation on the basis of God’s Word. Radical faith believes in God for the impossible to become possible. Radical faith depends on God’s Word and believes in the power of God’s Word. Can you bank your entire life on the word of God?! Can you make a complete life-altering decision based on something God said?
What has God said to you personally? What does the Bible say about your challenges or life? Are you having a hard time receiving it into your heart..?? Open your mouth and Declare “ Be it done unto me according to your word “.
The declaration of these words cast the responsibility of manifestation back on God and literally hold Him ransom to perform because you as his servant have abandoned yourself unto him in total dependence, and He will not let you down.
Say those magic words now… He’s gotchu!
Much love,
