Notice, but this little woman…Zacharias back there, he had much Scriptures behind him to believe where miracles had happened on the same order. But Mary, there had never been a baby born like that. But notice, instead of fussing at the Angel like Zacharias did, she said, “Behold the handmaid of the Lord. Be it unto me according to Your Word.” Oh, I love that. There it is. Take Him at His Word. Don’t try to figure it out, how it’s going to be, just take Him at His Word. And notice, as soon as she got His Word, and heard His Word that she was going to have the baby, she didn’t wait till she was positive. She didn’t wait till she felt life. She started right out testifying about it. God, give us some more Marys down here in Cleveland, that’ll take God at His Word and testify about It before anything happens, just so the Word of God says so. Amen. Now, maybe I’m deafening you out there. That thing’s got an awful voice. Look, I don’t aim to yell at you. But sometimes I get to speaking when you feel the response of the Holy Spirit coming back, knowing that It’s anchoring somewhere. It’s hard to hold quiet. That’s right.
