Twin Babies After 27 Years of Barrenness – What God Cannot Do Does Not Exist
There are testimonies that cannot be hidden. Some miracles are so extraordinary that even unbelievers are forced to acknowledge the power of God. One such story is the testimony of Brother James and Sister Mary, a couple who waited on the Lord for 27 long years without a child, but eventually held not one, but two babies — twins, a boy and a girl — in their arms.
Their journey of pain, tears, perseverance, and unshakable faith is a reminder that delay is not denial, and truly, what God cannot do does not exist.
Brother James and Sister Mary married young, full of love, dreams, and expectations. Like every couple, they looked forward to the joy of raising children. But months passed, and no pregnancy came. One year became two, two became five, and before they realized it, a decade had passed.
Mary said in her testimony:
“At first, I thought it was just a little delay. I believed that one day I would miss my cycle, go for a test, and hear the good news. But month after month, nothing happened. When we crossed 10 years, fear began to set in. I asked myself, ‘Lord, have You forgotten me?’”
The pressure was intense. In their culture, childbearing was seen as the seal of marriage. Neighbors whispered. Friends pitied them. Relatives suggested all kinds of solutions. Some even asked Brother James to “marry another woman.”
But James stood firm:
“I married Mary, not her womb. And I will stay with her, no matter what.”
This commitment was both a blessing and a challenge. For Mary, it was a reminder of love, but also a deeper pain because she felt she was “denying” her husband something important.
There were nights when Mary cried silently into her pillow so her husband would not hear. Nights when she would attend child dedication services in church, only to return home and collapse in tears.
She said:
“Sometimes I would help my friends carry their babies during dedication services. I would dance and smile. But the moment I got home, I would cry myself to sleep. I wanted to be happy for others, but the ache in my heart was too deep.”
They tried everything — fertility treatments, herbal remedies, countless hospital visits, and endless prayer vigils. At one point, a doctor bluntly told Mary:
“Medically speaking, you may never be able to conceive naturally.”
That statement crushed her, but she held on to one truth: “With God, all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26)
In 2023, while scrolling through her phone, Mary stumbled upon an online prayer session with the theme: “What God Cannot Do Does Not Exist.”
She felt something stir in her spirit. She joined the prayer consistently, every morning, even when she was discouraged. One day, the pastor declared:
“That long-awaited miracle, that impossible situation, God is turning it around. Write down what you want, and watch what God will do.”
Mary wrote: “Twins — a boy and a girl.”
She said:
“I had asked for a child before, but that day, my faith was different. I didn’t just ask for one baby, I asked for double. I told God, ‘Give me twins as a sign that You are faithful.’”
From that moment, something shifted. She stopped crying at night. She stopped comparing herself to others. She began to worship more, pray more, and declare God’s promises over her life.
In early 2024, Mary noticed she had missed her cycle. At first, she dismissed it, thinking it was menopause. But something urged her to take a pregnancy test. To her shock, the test came out positive.
She couldn’t believe her eyes. After 27 years, she was pregnant.
She said:
“I fell on the floor and wept. I couldn’t even tell my husband immediately. When I finally showed him the test, he looked at it, looked at me, and then both of us burst into tears of joy. We held each other and kept saying, ‘Thank You, Jesus. Thank You, Jesus.’”
During her first ultrasound, the doctor smiled and asked, “Are you ready for a surprise?”
Mary was confused until the doctor turned the screen and said: “You’re carrying twins.”
Her heart almost stopped. She remembered the paper where she had written: “Twins — a boy and a girl.”
It was exactly as she prayed.
The pregnancy was not without challenges. Doctors warned of “high risk” because of her age. Friends advised her to “take it easy.” But she and her husband held onto God’s Word. Every day, they declared scriptures like:
“There shall be none barren in the land.” (Exodus 23:26)
“Is anything too hard for the Lord?” (Genesis 18:14)
“Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.” (Psalm 126:5)
Every hospital visit became a testimony. Every scan was another reason to dance. The twins grew strong, and Mary carried them to full term.
On the morning of her delivery, the hospital was filled with anticipation. Nurses whispered, “This is the woman who waited 27 years.”
After hours of labor, the cry of a baby boy echoed. Moments later, a baby girl followed.
Tears flowed freely. Mary and James could not stop praising God. Family members rushed in, overwhelmed with joy. Even the doctors said: “This is nothing short of a miracle.”
When the couple returned to church with their twins, the atmosphere was electric. The congregation wept, clapped, danced, and rejoiced. Many said it was the most powerful testimony they had ever witnessed.
Mary lifted her babies and declared:
“These children are proof that what God cannot do does not exist. For 27 years, the enemy tried to convince me it was over. But my God showed up at the appointed time. To every waiting mother, don’t give up. Your testimony is coming!”
-
Delay is not denial. God’s timing is always perfect.
-
Hold on to God’s Word. What doctors cannot do, God can.
-
Double for your trouble. After 27 years, God gave them twins.
-
Stay faithful. James never abandoned his wife — his faith and love were part of the miracle.
-
Testimonies build faith. Their story has encouraged thousands still waiting on God.
If you are still trusting God for a miracle, let this testimony remind you: God is never late. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Sister Mary’s closing words were:
“I used to think my story was over, but now I am holding my evidence. If God could do it for me after 27 years, He can do it for you too. Don’t stop believing. What God cannot do does not exist.”
