When you say to God, \u201cHere I am, I am available and willing. I may be afraid, doubtful, confused, but I am available and willing\u201d. What happens? And we are going to look at Mary, a classic example. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bible.com\/bible\/59\/luk.1.35,37-38\">Luke 1:<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">35, 37-38<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the angel answered her, \u201cThe Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy\u2014the Son of God\u2026 For nothing will be impossible with God.\u201d And Mary said, \u201cBehold, <\/span><\/i><b><i>I am the servant of the Lord<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; let it be to me according to your word.\u201d And the angel departed from her<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u201d (ESV, emphasis added).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mary\u2019s response in other words was, \u201cHere I am. I am available. I am the Lord&#8217;s servant.\u201d When God places a call upon your life. When God places a demand on your resources, talent, treasure, and time. I pray you will be able to consistently say, \u201cI am the Lord&#8217;s servant. May it be on to me as You have said.\u201d The promise that Mary was trusting here is the promise of the virgin birth. How does that even make sense? Virgin and birth, those two words do not go together. Many of us have daughters, teenage daughters. Now imagine your daughter comes home and says, \u201cI am pregnant\u201d. Your response is, \u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d And she says, \u201cIt is the Holy Spirit.\u201d What will you do? It sounds ridiculous because those two things do not go together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only way virgin and birth can fit together is, that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nothing is impossible with God<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. So, my mathematical mind kicked in and came up with this equation. \u2018Virgin\u2019 plus \u2018<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nothing is impossible with God\u2019<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> equals birth. That is the only way those two things can be in the same equation. Let&#8217;s bring it home. There are things that you know to be true about yourself. You look at the promise that God has for you, what God has said concerning you. And you say there is no way that promise can be real in your life, except <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nothing is impossible with God<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, you say, \u201cI am a cynic. I cannot be a person of faith, a Christian.\u201d But guess what? \u2018Cynic\u2019 plus \u2018<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nothing is impossible with God\u2019<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> equals faith. I have seen cynics who are people of faith today because <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nothing is impossible with God<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If you will cooperate with God and say, \u201cHere I am. I am doubtful and cynical, but I am available.\u201d You will be surprised at what God will do with your life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Prayer<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Father, with You in my equation and because nothing is impossible with You, let my life be all that You have created it to be, in the Mighty Name of Jesus.
