Power Point:
"But that's impossible!" You've probably heard someone say
that a time or two. In fact, you've
probably said it a time or two yourself-with good reason! The situation looks
invincible. There appears to be no way to conquer it or defeat it.
The
disciples faced those kind of situations a time or two didn't they? When Peter started his walk on the water, it
suddenly occurred to him that this was impossible. That's when he began to
sink. Then he saw Jesus, and the
improbability of walking on water became a definite possibility. Jesus was already "out there" after all. He was with
God, and God was with him.
The
lame man who had lain by the pool of Bethesda for thirty-eight years with the
hope that he would be healed was definitely in an impossible situation.
Everyone else got into the healing waters before him. Then one day, what seemed
impossible became a glorious possibility because Jesus showed up. God was with
him.
In
Psalm 34, God has given His children some specific promises of possibility.
"I sought Him, He heard me, and
delivered me from ALL my fears.
I cried out to Him, and He heard me and saved
me from ALL my troubles.
There is NO want to those who trust Him.
The righteous cry. The Lord hears-and
delivers them out of ALL their troubles!"
You
may find yourself today, in the thick of an impossible situation
with invisible solutions.
The prophet Elisha woke up one morning to find
himself surrounded by an invincible army.
When his servant was consumed with fear, Elisha asked God to let his
servant see what he himself saw. In Elisha's line of vision, the mountains
around the armies, were filled with heavenly armies. God was with them.
When King David was surrounded by the Philistine
army, God told him to wait until he heard angels marching in the tops of
the trees. Beloved, we have to see
our situations guided by His Spirit, and we have to hear spiritually as
well. Ask God to remove the scales from
your eyes and help you to see your situation from His perspective. Ask Him to open your ears to hear the
angel armies marching around that army of threatening circumstances that are
against you. God is with you.
David's great strength was that he trusted God to fight with him
and for him. He was absolutely awestruck by the goodness of God. Elisha's great strength was that he saw
invisible solutions in impossible situations.
Your
strength today comes from the same Spirit that opened David's ears to hear, and showed Elisha
what to see. He will always help you to see what He sees. If you see Him, He will deliver you from ALL your fears,
and ALL your troubles. He promised them,
and He promises you the very same thing.
The prophet Jeremiah said it beautifully, "Oh
Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power
and outstretched arm, There is nothing too hard for You." A few
verses later The Lord responds to Jeremiah, "Behold I am The Lord, the God
of all flesh Is there anything too hard
for Me?"
No Beloved-there isn't. You are with God and God
is with you. And HE is invincible.
Power Thought:
What may seem
like an impossible situation is only awaiting the touch of God's hand to
move it into the realm of possibility, which is where He lives ALL the time.
Wouldn't you like to live there too? With Him? Open your eyes and ears.http://youtu.be/FzB9I8p819M
