And here it is. Listen, audience. The girl never questioned the Angel. It had never happened in all the world. Never had there be a baby borned virgin birth. And she didn’t question Him. She just took God at His Word. And immediately, she begin to rejoice, and begin to testify, telling the people that she was going to have a baby, knowing no man, didn’t tell what the disgrace was. She didn’t know how she was going to have it. She didn’t wait till she was positive. She didn’t wait till she felt life. She took God at His Word and begin to rejoice before anything happened. There you are. Every man and woman that’s ever breathed on this earth that’s ever amounted to anything, has been man and women who’s done the very same thing: took God at His Word. She was testifying to everybody she was going to have the baby before any visible sign. And if Mary could do that on something that had never happened, how much more ought you and I to do it tonight on the basis of faith in God’s Word, when hundreds each night are being healed? How much more should we believe it?
