Lost in translation
“For with God nothing will be impossible” Luk 1:37 (NKJV) - these were the words of the angel Gabriel, who stand in the very presence of God, after he told Mary her relative Elizabeth, has conceived a child in her old age. It was the same angel Gabriel that appreared to Zacharias, Elizabeth’s husband, and told him that they would have a child and must call him John. Gabriel basically said to Mary that the words he spoken to Zacharias came true, so the words that he spoke to her - that she will have a baby, will certainly come true!
The words act as a container for the promises of God.
Interestingly enough, the English word “nothing” translate in the greek word “rhema”, and rhema basically means “that which has been uttered by the living voice, thing spoken” So, to re-word this sentence, it might read like this: For with God, no spoken word by Him (nothing), will be impossible for Him! And this is a fulfilled promise from Jer 32:17, “Nothing is too hard for you!”
For us today, these words are still true - nothing is too hard for God - nothing is impossible for God - and especially the promises God has given you and spoken over you! Choose to be like Mary and take God on his spoken word for your life and believe it will come true, for words are containers that carry God's promises.
