IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE!

Luke 1:37 For with God nothing will be impossible.  Luke 18:27  But He said "The things which are impossible with men are possible with God."

As you've read the blog the past few days have you been tempted to think, "How can God give me an abundant life when all this stuff is happening right now?"  If so, you're not unusual, we've all probably thought like that at different times in our lives.  They are actually some of those negative thoughts we were talking about earlier this week that we have to recognise don't come from God and He wants us to change them for His thoughts.

How do we do that?  I've found the only way to change my thoughts is to put God's words in my head instead! God wants us to read the above promises over and over and over again until we believe and know they really are true, because they are. Nothing is impossible with God. Our trouble, speaking for myself anyway, is that we probably don't have a big enough picture of God, we don't realise how enormously powerful He really is. Maybe these verses will help us.  

Isaiah 40:12-13 "Who else has held the oceans in his hand? Who has measured off the heavens with his fingers? Who else knows the weight of the earth or has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale?...."  

Isaiah 40:26 Look up into the heavens. Who created the stars? He brings them out like an army, one after another, calling each by its name. Because of his great power and incomparable strength, not a single one is missing.

When we realise how immensely powerful God is, our faith in Him will grow and we'll start declaring with conviction "Nothing is impossible with God. He really can change my life. He really can work all things together for my good. He really is all powerful"

Something else which might help us is this verse. Hebrews 6:18 So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie.

When we put those two verses together - 'Nothing is impossible with God' and 'It is impossible for God to lie' we have a rock solid foundation for our faith. I trust you see it.

God has given us His word so we have total confidence and trust in Him so that when the enemy comes and tries to twist up our thinking we know, that we know, that we know,  God cannot lie to us.

So what does your 'impossible' look like?  Just as a matter of interest, who told you it was impossible?  Wherever that thought came from you can replace it with the truth "Nothing is impossible with God because God says so."

I do hope that helps someone today.
