Day 15 Advent Reflection: God With Us in the Supernatural
Pastor Rasol Manouchehri Ardakani - 15 December 2025
“For no word from God will ever fail.”
Welcome to Day 15.
We are now deep into the story of the nativity. Yesterday we looked at Mary’s brave surrender. Today, we are looking at the reason why she could be so brave. It wasn't because she was naive or because she didn't understand how babies are made. She knew perfectly well that what the angel was describing was biologically impossible.
She asks the angel, "How will this be since I am a virgin?" It is a fair question. It is the question of logic. It is the question of science.
The angel Gabriel doesn't give her a lesson in biology. Instead, he points her to the supernatural character of God. He tells her about her cousin Elizabeth, who is pregnant in her old age, and then he drops this incredible truth: "For no word from God will ever fail."
You might know this verse from older translations as, "For nothing is impossible with God." Both phrases get to the same heart-stopping reality. God is not bound by the laws of physics. He wrote them, so He can edit them whenever He pleases.
We often live our lives within the boundaries of the "possible." We look at our bank accounts, our medical reports, or our broken relationships, and we calculate the odds. We are very good at spotting dead ends. We say things like, "That person will never change," or "This situation is beyond repair."
But the message of Advent is that God loves to work in the supernatural.
The entire Christmas story is a catalogue of impossibilities. A virgin conceiving. A star moving across the sky. God becoming a baby. None of this makes sense on a spreadsheet. If you take God out of the equation, the Christmas story falls apart. But once you factor Him in, the impossible becomes possible.
When the angel says that "no word from God will ever fail," he is reminding us that God’s power is linked to His promise. If God has said it, reality has to rearrange itself to make it happen.
Perhaps you are facing a brick wall today. Maybe you are looking at a situation in your life that seems completely hopeless. The doctors have shaken their heads. The bank has said no. The relationship seems dead.
In those moments, logic tells us to give up. But faith invites us to look up.
God is with us in the supernatural. He is not just a comforting presence for the easy days; He is a miracle-working God for the impossible days. He can make a way where there is no way. He can bring life to a womb that was closed, and He can bring light to a life that feels dark.
This doesn't mean we treat God like a vending machine for miracles. But it does mean we stop putting a full stop where God has put a comma. We can bring our "impossibles" to Him with confidence, knowing that He is the God of the breakthrough.
Prayer of the Day:
Lord God, we confess that we often limit You with our limited thinking. We look at our problems and think they are too big for You. Please forgive our lack of faith. Thank You that You are the God of the supernatural. Thank You that no word from You will ever fail. We bring our impossible situations to You today and ask for Your miracle-working power to break through. We choose to believe that with You, all things are possible. Amen.
