THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD’S WORD
Text: Luke 1:37 (KJV)
“For with God nothing shall be impossible.”
INTRODUCTION: GOD’S WORD STILL STANDS
Church, we live in a world where promises are broken, contracts are
violated, and words are often empty. But when God speaks, heaven backs it up!
Luke 1:37 declares a timeless, unshakable truth: no word from God will ever
fail. If God said it, you can stand on it. If God promised it, He will
perform it. His Word is not seasonal—it is eternal!
1. Understanding the Context: God
Speaks in Impossible Moments
Scripture: Luke 1:26–31, 34–35
“The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall
overshadow thee.”
Emphasis:
Mary was young, unknown, and unprepared—yet chosen. God spoke a word that
contradicted nature, logic, and human ability. But what man calls impossible,
God calls opportunity. The Holy Ghost stepped into Mary’s situation and rewrote
the narrative.
Illustration:
It’s like a doctor telling someone, “There’s nothing more we can do,” and then
God steps in with a miracle healing. When medical reports end, divine power
begins. God often speaks His greatest promises in our weakest moments.
Declaration:
When God releases a word, the Holy Ghost provides the power to fulfill it!
2. The Assurance of God’s Promises:
What God Says, God Does
Scripture: Numbers 23:19; Isaiah 55:10–11
“Hath he said, and shall he not do it?”
Emphasis:
God is not like man. He does not exaggerate, hesitate, or forget. Every promise
is backed by His character and His power. The Word that spoke light into
darkness is the same Word holding your life together right now.
Illustration:
A single mother reads in the Word, “My God shall supply all your need” (Philippians
4:19). Though the bills are due, she keeps praying and trusting. Unexpected
provision comes—right on time. God proves again that His Word never fails.
Declaration:
He is a promise-keeping God in a promise-breaking world!
3. Living in Faith: Saying “Yes”
Before You See It
Scripture: Luke 1:38; Hebrews 11:1
“Be it unto me according to thy word.”
Emphasis:
Mary did not have all the answers—but she had faith. Faith is not waiting for
understanding; faith is obedience in advance. When you say “yes” to God, you
activate heaven’s resources.
Illustration:
A believer feels God calling them to step out—start a ministry, leave a toxic
situation, or trust Him financially. Fear whispers, “What if it fails?”
Faith responds, “What if God is telling the truth?” Obedience unlocks
breakthrough.
Declaration:
Faith is not passive—it moves, obeys, and trusts God completely!
4. Encouragement for the Journey:
God’s Word Will Carry You
Scripture: Psalm 119:105; 2 Corinthians 1:20
“For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen.”
Emphasis:
God’s Word is a lamp in dark seasons and an anchor in stormy times. You may not
feel strong, but the Word will strengthen you. You may feel lost, but the Word
will guide you.
Illustration:
A believer walking through grief opens the Bible and finds comfort in “The
Lord is close to the brokenhearted” (Psalm 34:18). That Word becomes
strength to get through another day. God’s Word sustains when emotions fail.
Declaration:
The same Word that saved you will sustain you and carry you to victory!
5. Testimony and Hope: Your Story Will
Preach
Scripture: Revelation 12:11; Psalm 66:16
“Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what he hath
done for my soul.”
Emphasis:
Mary carried a promise before she carried a baby. Later, her life testified to
God’s faithfulness. When God fulfills His Word in your life, it’s not just for
you—it’s for someone else’s faith.
Illustration:
Someone who was once addicted now stands free, declaring, “If God did it for
me, He can do it for you!” Testimonies ignite faith and remind others that
God is still working miracles.
Declaration:
Your testimony is proof that God’s Word never fails!
ALTAR CALL: STAND ON THE WORD
Scripture: Luke 1:37; Hebrews 10:23
“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he
is faithful that promised).”
Church, whatever God has spoken over your life—He will bring it to
pass. Delay is not denial. Silence is not absence. The Word of God is
working even when you cannot see it.
If you are struggling to believe…
If fear has shaken your faith…
If you are waiting on a promise…
This altar is for you.
Come and stand on the Word.
Come and declare, “Lord, I believe!”
🔥 No word from God
will ever fail! 🔥
