Mary Believed

 

The angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, revealing to her the greatest and most incredible news.

“Don't be afraid, Mary; God has been gracious to you. You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High God. The Lord God will make him a king, as his ancestor David was, and he will be the king of the descendants of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end! For there is nothing that God cannot do.”

(Luke 1:30-33 & 37 GNT)

Mary, in humility, chose to believe.

“You are blessed because you believed that the Lord would do what he said.”

(Luke 1:45 NLT)

Beloved, decree and declare from today,

God is gracious to me!

I am blessed because I believe that what the Lord has said to me will be accomplished!

I believe that God is the God of the impossible! There is nothing that He cannot do!

I believe that God will do what He has said that He will do!

I believe that God will bless me beyond my imagination!

I believe in God and today I choose to trust and obey Him!

Praise be to God!

Amen †
