“THE IMPOSSIBLE!”

Why do we doubt? Is anything too hard for God?

Genesis 18:14 (KJV)
Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

I have been thinking if how we view the God of the impossible.

We face a situation there seems to be no answer to. We struggle and try to figure it out. Finally, we pray and ask God to intervene as only He can because it is an impossible situation. We declare to ourselves and to God that we know nothing is impossible for Him.

Jeremiah 32:27 (KJV)
Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?

Then we continue to try to figure it out rather than resting in Him and in the Power of His might! We may fret and decide we can do a certain thing and that might solve the problem, but the thing we are trying to fix or solve gets worse.

When we release it to the Lord God Almighty and rest in Him and only do something as He directs, we will see the victory come to pass.

Jesus taught the disciples that what they perceived as impossible is possible with the God who created it all. With words He spoke the world into existence, He created all things! And yet we get hung up trying to believe He can do anything?

Mark 10:27 (KJV)
And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

In Luke 8, Jairus’ daughter was very sick and without a miracle she would die. He came to Jesus and ask that Jesus come and heal his daughter. While they were going some from Jairus house came and said, “Don’t bother Jesus anymore, she is dead”!

A bad situation had turned into an impossible situation! Have you ever been there? You pray and ask the Father in Jesus name and things take a turn for the worse?

Notice what Jesus said to Jairus!

Luke 8:50 (KJV)
But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.

When things get worse, Jesus is still the answer and can do what needs to be done. We should never fear, only believe!

Look in Mark 9 at the event of the dad whose son was possessed and continually tried to hurt himself. The dad besought Jesus to do something. Jesus told Him to believe and all things were possible.

Look at what the dad said!

Mark 9:24 (KJV)
And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.

Wow, how many times in my life have I had to say, “Lord I believe as best I can, help my unbelief’!

The cool thing is that Jesus saw the dad’s sincerity and whether the dad ever comprehended what Jesus could do or not, Jesus delivered the boy from the demons that were destroying him and set him free.

What a comfort! When we do our best to believe we can cry out to Jesus to help our unbelief and He sees our hearts and works on our behalf.

The enemy of your soul, satan, desires to keep you bound up with the thought that your faith is to weak to believe for the miracle you need.

Certainly, we must grow in our faith by spending time meditating on the word and spending time in the lord’s presence.

Romans 10:17 (KJV)
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

But the truth that fuels our faith, is the Life of Jesus flowing through us showing us who our God is and who we are in Him.

Our faith cannot be in anything other than knowing Jesus and being filled with His love for us. Then we realize He is working on our behalf. Causing all things to turn around for our good and leading us in every way.

God sees the heart! When we say, “I believe as best I can, help my unbelief”, He can see the truth of that and works in our lives!

Luke 18:27 (KJV)
And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

Father, in Jesus’ name I come! Thank you for seeing our heart. When we pray, study, and seek your face we are still faced with situations where we must say, “Help my unbelief”. Thank you for seeing our sincerity, and your help and your miracles are there! Your love is so amazing and you know us better than we know ourself. You are able and we are casting all our care on you! Amen!

God is for you!  Love, MeMaw
