Nothing is impossible

"being fully convinced that what He had promised, He was able to perform."   
                                                                                                                       Romans 4:21.  NKJV

When you look at some issue that is massive, it can look so immovable; so impossible to negotiate that we can be tempted to give it up as a bad job. Don't do that!

God told Abraham that he would father a child (Issac) in his old age. Sarah just laughed at the idea. Let's face it, Abraham was getting on for a 100 years old and Sarah nearly 90; it must have seemed an impossibility for this happen at their age. But Abraham believed.

Just a look at Romans 4:17-22, we see Abraham get into a position where, 'Contrary to hope, in hope believed.' (V18), 'And not being weak in faith,' (V19), 'He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,' (V20), 'but was fully convinced that what He had promised, He was able to perform.' V21).

You may say, 'Yes, but Abraham was a friend of God, it was different for him.' No, it wasn't, he was the same as you and believe it or not, you are a friend of God's too. 'No longer do I call you servants for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends..' (John 15:15). You are a friend of God as well so believe it.

Supernatural hope (biblical hope) overcame natural hope. We serve a God who gives life to the dead and calls the things that don't exist as though they do! (V17) And He expects us to operate in this same kind of faith; to see things differently; to speak out things differently. 2 Corinthians 5:7 says, 'For we walk by faith not by sight.' Again, 2 Corinthians 4:18 comments, 'while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.' We look at things through the eyes of faith because the natural things are subject to change. In other words, we call things that do not exist as though they did. (V17). And that is faith and this is the way God expects us to live.

We should never consider our limitations or what people may say to negate our faith or what is around us trying to intimidate us. We should press on keeping our eyes on God and speaking the Word of God - the Words of faith. Where sickness is concerned, we need to speak to that sickness and make it get in line with God's Word that says by the stripes of Jesus we were healed. (1 Peter 2:24). Speak to the problems and mountains that you will face in the same manner too, all of course, in the Name of Jesus. 

Receive your healing; receive your blessing; receive that promise that God has given, that dream that God placed on your heart some time ago. Be careful though of the dream-killers; the ones who will try to convince you that God doesn't work this way; that you have heard wrong. Keep pressing on in belief. Be careful though, if you get involved in sin - you come out of God's presence - you may lose what you have achieved. Stay in the presence of the Holy Spirit and get you bible out' seek Him; pray to Him, praise Him. Focus on Him, not the problem. Tell God how big and wonderful He is, that is praise.

Don't forget your angels. They are around waiting for you to get into position, when you are and speak the Word of God, POW! - they will step in and help you as you praise God. Remember Paul and Silas in Acts 16. They were in stocks in a filthy dungeon. But instead of moaning and groaning, they sang and praised God. The result was, their chains fell off. God had spoken - the angels had obeyed and they were set free. And so will you be too.

God has given you all you need to get on and do the job, so position yourself for victory!

Stop being hasty

Better is the poor who walks in his integrity t han one who is perverse in his lips, and is a fool. And he sins who hastens with his feet.  ...
