“How Can This Be?”

“How Can This Be?”

 

“Then Abraham bowed down to the ground, but he laughed to himself in disbelief.  “How could I become a father at the age of 100?” He thought. “And how can Sarah have a baby when she is ninety years old?”  Genesis 17:17.   Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I be sure this will happen”. I’m an old man now and my wife is also well along in years.”  Luke: 1:17

Have you ever asked the question “HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN?”   We, who are TRUE BELIEVERS, should KNOW and BELIEVE that with the ALMIGHTY GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE”.  We can KNOW this, because, in Matthew 19, Jesus was talking to His Disciples, and, in verse 26 He tells them, “With God EVERYTHING is POSSIBLE”. 

Abraham found it DIFFICULT to BELIEVE that he, being 100 years old, could father a child.  Would you want to celebrate your 100th birthday with the announcement that you were going to have a BABY?  The Bible tells us Abraham LAUGHED in DISBELIEF. And to complicate this situation, How Can This Be?  Sarah was NINETY years old, which was WELL BEYOND her CHILD-BEARING YEARS. 

If it’s in GOD’S PLANS, “EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE”.  Our God is in the MIRACLE MAKING business.  And it was in God’s Plans, as was the, Birth of JESUS.

Zechariah, the father of John the Baptist, was married to Elizabeth, who was kin to MARY, the Mother of our LORD JESUS. Zechariah was also a PRIEST.  And while he was in the Sanctuary, an angel of the Lord appeared to him, Zechariah was SHAKEN and OVERWHELMED with FEAR when he saw the Angel.  The Angel told Zechariah that he and Elizabeth will give BIRTH to a son and that his name will be JOHN. And John would be the FORERUNNER of the SAVIOR OF THE WORLD, the LORD JESUS CHRIST. 

Zechariah, said to the Angel, “How Can This Be?” “I am an OLD man, and my wife is ALSO along in years.  And the Angel told Zechariah, that since he did NOT BELIEVE what the Angel had told him, Zechariah would be SILENT, not able to SPEAK until the child is born.  And so, it happened JUST as the ANGEL had told Zechariah.  From that moment until JOHN was born, Zechariah could NOT SPEAK a WORD. 

There’s a song, that says: “GOD WILL MAKE A WAY, where there seems to be NO WAY.  So, when you think your situation is to BIG, COMPLICATED, PRAY, PRAY, PRAY, and BELIEVE that GOD is ABLE, because NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE with GOD.  Because EVERYTHING is POSSIBLE with GOD! Don’t LET your UNBELIEF stand in the WAY of a MIRACLE. 

If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God through His Son, the LORD JESUS CHRIST, you are LIVING in UNBELIEF.  And God doesn’t want you there.  He’s giving you the OPPORTUNITY NOW to:  Admit that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, JESUS, the ONE who GAVE His LIFE to SAVE YOUR SOUL from an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE once YOU are there.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS DIED for You and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for YOU, before GOD.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ASK Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT GOD’S GIFT of SALVATION and BELIEVE with ALL your HEART!  HOW CAN THAT HAPPEN?  GOD!!!  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
