IMPOSSIBLE
This morning when I woke up I heard Luke 1. Generally I read a chapter in the Old Testament, a Psalm and a chapter in the New Testament. But upon hearing this I changed my routine.
Though I'm very familiar with the passage I felt there was something specific that would be said. When I got to verse 15 I saw something that I never saw or paid attention to before though I've read it countless times. In verse 15a it says, "But the angel said to him, Do not be afraid Zacharias for your prayer has been heard."
What makes this significant is what we learn prior to this verse. In Luke 1:6-7 it says, "And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 7. But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren and they were both well advanced in years."
So despite his age he still had a desire to be a father. Knowing this was impossible based on human science it was not a deterant or distraction for him. Zacharias request was an IMPOSSIBLE one for man and only POSSIBLE with God.
Like Abraham though his body was against him he still believed. How many of us have been living holy and righteous but have a desire that is IMPOSSIBLE?
What is your but? What is your barren? What is your limitation? Listen, with God it doesn't matter.
Let me encourage you today to continue to petition despite what systems, people, and circumstances say. Zacharias didn't just get an answered prayer his son is the living, breathing manifestation of the IMPOSSIBLE! Verse 13(AMP) But the angel said to him, Do not be afraid, Zacharias because your petition was heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you must call his name John (God is favorable)
If you've been discouraged to pray the IMPOSSIBLE may this ignite you. If you've never prayed the IMPOSSIBLE may this activate you. If you've stopped praying the IMPOSSIBLE may this stir you to believe God is favorable!
When your petition and prayer is answered and when you bear the promise make sure to follow all the instructions given as well. Every time they called the child's name (John) they were declaring He is the manifestation of the IMPOSSIBLE and that God is favorable!
I believe this will be the testimony of the righteous in the season. Don't fear continue to petition that you may live Luke 1:37 AMP says, "For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment!"
