Today's Word 09-09-26 When God Says It, Believe It · The Early Morning Praise Party w/ Sherry Mackey

  Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherri Mackey
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: and it's time right now for today's word. When God
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: says it, believe it. When God says it, believe it.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Luke 1, 37 through 38 says, for with God, nothing
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: will be impossible. Then Mary said, behold, the maidservant of
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the Lord, let it be to me according to your word. Y'all,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Mary was just a teenager when an angel appeared to
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: her and told her something that seemed completely impossible. She
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: was going to give birth to the Messiah, even though
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: she'd never been with a man. Can you imagine what
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: was going through her mind? She could have said, y'all,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: that's impossible. That doesn't make sense. People will never believe me.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: What will everybody think? Instead, Mary asked a reasonable question.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: How can this be? The angel explained that the Holy
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Spirit will come upon her and the power of God
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: would accomplish what human ability could not. And Mary responded
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: with one of the greatest statements of faith in scripture.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: She said, let it be to me according to your word.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: In other words, Mary was saying, I don't understand everything.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know how this is going to happen. It
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: has never been done before. But if God said it,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I believe it. And there will be moments like that
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: in your life when God's word will challenge your own
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: human understanding. Your circumstances may say there's no way. Your
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: bank account may say it's impossible. Your diagnosis may say
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you'll never recover. Your past may say you'll never become
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: who God called you to be. Your mind may tell
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: you don't get your hopes up. But faith says let
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: it be. According to your word, that doesn't mean we
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: deny reality. It means we refuse to make our circumstances
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: greater than our God. When God gives you a promise,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you don't have to know every detail of how he's
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: going to fulfill it. Your responsibility is to trust the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: one who made the promise. So today, dare to say, Lord,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I receive what you've spoken over my life. I receive
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: your peace. I receive your purpose. I receive your freedom.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I receive your provision. I receive your promises. Let God's
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: word take root in your spirit because what looks impossible
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: in your hands is still possible in God's hands. You
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: may not know how. You may not know when, but
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: if God said it, oh, you can trust him to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: do just what he said. Oh, Father God, thank you.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Thank you that you watch after your word to perform
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: it in our lives. Thank you, God, that there's nothing
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: impossible with you. And we trust that when you say something, God,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: we can stand on it and we can believe it
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: in Jesus' name. Hey, now, that's your word for today.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Take it, apply it to your everything. Everyday life and
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you continue to be encouraged and inspired. It is your
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackey.
