Luke 1:37 is interesting because several of the translations totally ignore the existance of "utterance" in the sentence, when the word makes perfect sense.
King James says: Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Literally, however, this says: Luke 1:37 For with God nothing uttered shall be impossible.
The English Revised Version renders it this way: Luke 1:37 For no word from God shall be void of power.
The World English Bible gives us: Luke 1:37 For everything spoken by God is possible."
Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
This is an interesting verse, since it backs up other Scriptures that say things like the following:
Romans 10:17 "So then faith (supernatural belief and trust) comes by hearing, and hearing by the utterance of God."
(some caveats about hearing God's Voice)

Matthew 4:4 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every utterance that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
