What did God give to Mary, the person that was about to become a handmaiden of the Lord, an instrument in the hands of God, the servant of God? What did He give to the one who would give birth to His Son in the earth? What did He give to the willing vessel that He would work through to manifest Himself in the earth?  For she told the angel: Luke 1:38 “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.” He gave to Mary His word. She had nothing but what He said to her…No mantle…No rod. She had to hold God’s word in faith. Her part was to hold the word in her heart in faith. Don’t drop it. Don’t doubt it. Don’t turn it a loose.  Hold it in your heart until God brings it to pass. How would He bring it to pass? Answer: The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee. In other words, the Holy Spirit has to do His work. Can you hold the word in faith until the Holy Spirit completes His work?
