Impossible

Did you know that God does not believe in impossible situations? He honestly doesn't think there are any. He said,"...with God nothing shall be impossible."(Luke 1:37) That means that to His way of thinking, IMPOSSIBLE doesn't get a vote. He refuses to subscribe to impossibility. He looks at every "impossible, hopeless, ain't gonna get any better" situation and whole-heartedly says, "This can be changed, fixed, redeemed, renewed, restored, healed, saved, made whole, rescued, reclaimed, mended, recovered, delivered." Now, God is really into choices. He is always asking us to choose. That's because he knows that choices are the way we navigate through life. So, here's the question. Are you going to continue to believe in impossibility? Or will you turn your back on IMPOSSIBLE, choose to agree with God, and transform your thinking to "everything is POSSIBLE for one who believes." (Mark 9:23) Possibility starts with YOUR choice.

From Enemy to Champion

I read this verse in the Bible the other day. "He who used to persecute us is now proclaiming the very faith he once reviled and which he set out to ruin and tried with all his might to destroy." Galatians 1:23

Some of you may have men in your life who don't share your faith. They may actively revile your faith by setting themselves up against it with vigor and energy. Or they may be quietly killing your faith with their disinterest and apathy. Whatever the case, cheer up! We see here in Galatians, the account of Paul's turn around. His change from faith enemy to faith champion. This description of Paul's conversion fits into the category of a precedent. A precedent is a very strong basis for prayer.

Anytime you find a precedent in God's Word for a provision, a miracle, a need supplied, a prayer answered, it is indication that it is not exclusive. It means you can also receive that provision, miracle, need supplied, or prayer answered. It means it's available to anyone who believes God is willing.

Believe it. Receive it.

Stay Constant in Prayer.
