BE IT UNTO ME ACCORDING TO YOUR WORD
"And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to Thy word." (Luke 1:38). "And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:45-47). Faith is an essential element of our walk with God. Without it, it is not possible to please God (Hebrews 11:6). Before any Christian work, before any ministry, before any sacrifice, there must be faith. Jesus said, "This is the work of God, that ye believe in Him Whom He Hath sent." (John 6:29). So, our faith must be based on Jesus Christ, the Word of God made flesh, and what He speaks to us through the Holy Spirit as He leads us to fulfill that Word. It is not a vague faith that stabs at some promise hoping that it is God's will; it is a revelation of God's will to our spirit through the Word
