Scripture: "But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is
impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26

Point:
I don’t know what your life looks like on a regular basis but there are
times in my life when things seem impossible. It may be a health issue or a
financial issue. It might be a relationship that has hit bottom. It could be a
task that you just don’t seem to be able to complete. Impossibilities seem to
pop up often for us don’t they?
The wonderful thing about things that seem impossible-those things that appear to be “unable to be,
exist, or happen, or seem incapable of being true” is this: Jesus said, that with God in your life, "anything and everything is possible.” Yes and Amen!
If you remember correctly, Jesus came
to show us what His Father, and YOUR Father is like. He demonstrated God’s character and nature by
going everywhere He could and healing the sick, casting out demons, and simply
doing good to everyone He could. He continually taught about God’s power to
overcome impossibilities. Perhaps we should listen to Him!
The Word used the word, “Possible” as a description for what His Father
could and would do. That word indicates that God has not only the ability to act but also the power to accomplish whatever He needs to
accomplish in your life.
Jesus was making God personal-for
you.
What seems impossible to you today?
You may have tried everything you know to do in that situation but
nothing is changing. It seems
impossible.
But
what if it’s not?
Do you
remember King Jehoshaphat? He’s one of
my favorite illustrations of how God does the impossible for His children.

Chronicles 20 has become my favorite “go to” chapter when I’m in a tight place.
The enemy is surrounding Israel; A LOT of enemies. There seems to be no way out of certain disaster,
but Jehoshaphat goes to the Lord and says, “We
have NO power against this great multitude coming together against us, not do
we know what to do but our eyes are on
YOU!”
Guess
what happened next! God promises that He
will be with them and by the time they get ready for battle the next morning,
every single enemy combatant is dead. They turned on themselves and killed each
other. AND there was such an abundance of valuables that it took them four days
to collect it. Four days! I guess you could say
that the situation seemed like a definite impossibility.
But it wasn’t.
Would you like to see God do the
impossible in your life today? I’ll give you the same counsel that Jehoshaphat
received.
Believe
(be firm and established and
firmly persuaded) that He is your God and He will show up for you.
Praise
Him. For who He is and what He has promised and
that He is making this situation a “good thing on the way”!
Stand
still and see the salvation of the Lord.
In the natural there may seem to be no way
out. But if you are His child, you are not limited to the natural are you?
As His
child you can trust in the fact that even though you are in an impossible
situation, you will receive the reward of your faith. You will not be ashamed
of your hope in Him, because Beloved, you are just about to see the “impossible” become “possible”.
Jesus said, “Have faith in God FOR ASSUREDLY I say to you,
whoever says to this mountain, “Be
removed and cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.”
That
seems impossible doesn’t it? But its the Truth.
Power Thought:
What if what you see
is not all there is to see?
