Luke 1:34-35 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.
Jesus has given us freedom from our own limitations. Jesus is a specialist in impossibilities. Once we discover our purpose on earth, we don’t have to stress about the lack of proficiencies, skills or finances to fulfill our God-given passion. The human limitations that confine and restrict us are broken. Jesus assured us that if we put our trust in Him, we will be able to break the boundaries of impossibilities. “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father (John 14:12). With technological advancements, God is using His children beyond their physical and geographical boundaries. Jesus was restricted to the borders of Israel when He was on earth but He said, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere – in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). Technology takes us to the ends of the earth to influence and impact people whom we have never seen or met.
The power of God cannot be stopped by medical reports, intellectual rationalization and physical restriction. The promise from the Archangel Gabriel downloaded faith that broke the yoke of all human limitations in Mary. God who created the universe with His spoken Word is also the author of the virgin birth. A medical diagnosis cannot stop us, our intellectual paucity will not restrict us and our physical incapacity shall not restrain us. He gives wisdom to the unwise and strength to the weak. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong (1 Corinthians 1:27).
All that we need to fulfill our purpose has been deposited in us to defeat our limitations.
Freedom from human limitations:
1. Aptitude: He gives divine wisdom and intelligence to the simple and the humble. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you (James 1:5).
2. Ability: He empowers us with supernatural abilities, skills and talents. “With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall” (Psalm 18:29).
3. Authority: He has given us all authority on heaven and earth to shake the foundations of hell.”Behold, I have given you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing will harm you” (Luke 10:19).
Hell trembles at a believer who knows their aptitude, abilities and authority in Christ Jesus.
Jesus is a specialist in impossibilities.
Luke 1:37 “For with God nothing shall be impossible”.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, teach me to take my eyes away from my inabilities, inadequacies and insufficiencies but depend on your potency and power. Amen.
