Mary: A Model of Radical FaithНамуна
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.
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.
