Coffee Break
"Impossible, Not
Impossible"
"But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With
men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." Matthew
19:26
The fact is, there is so much that it is impossible
for man to do- the list is endless. But with God nothing is impossible-
the list of what He can do is endless. I can't create a world, but He did-
just by the word of His mouth. I can't part a sea and make it stand up
like a wall- but He can and did.
But when we read another passage it
says: "And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily
I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto
this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing
shall be impossible unto you." (Matthew 17:20) Here is says that
nothing shall be impossible unto you. It almost sounds like a
contradiction-- "with men it's impossible"; "nothing shall be impossible to
you".
Whatever it is you are dealing with, in your
own strength it is impossible- you aren't strong enough, wise enough, big
enough. But the key is- "if you have faith". Faith in what, faith
placed where? In the God with whom all things are possible. If
you put your faith, trust and confidence in God, if you connect with Him,
if you invite Him into your life, then because of Him, nothing shall be
impossible for you. Let's look at a mountain for a moment. A
mountain is a powerful thing. It's stationary, solid, unshakable. In
order to move it or effect it at all you have to put a force against it that is
greater than it is. The same when dealing with our "spiritual mountains",
you have to put a force that is greater than it is in order to remove it.
I am not a greater force than a mountain, I have no power, it is impossible for
me to remove it.... but when I connect with a force that is greater, then it's
not impossible any more for me to remove it. It will remove easily, all I
have to do is "speak" to it. That greater force is the All Powerful,
Almighty God, who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we can ask or
think.
Are you trying to move a mountain on your
own- in your strength, in your wisdom, in your ability? You won't do it-
it's impossible. But if you put your faith and trust in God
and connect with Him, it's very possible. You can do all things
through Christ which strengthens you.
Have a great day. What was once
impossible for us is now possible when we put our faith in
God.
