Matt. 19: 26 - "But Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man things are impossible, but with God all things are possible."
If this statement is true, then it should change the way you live your life in Christ. If ALL things are literally possible with God, then the sky is the limit!! A young man in our church was telling me that he wanted God to use him, no matter what he was doing - he said that he went to wash clothes, and in the middle of doing that he prayed, 'God I know that I'm washing clothes but that's not the real reason I'm here!' Would to God, we would keep our hearts, mind, eyes, and ears open for the voice of God.
If we would live in Christ - we would quickly come to realize that all things truly are possible. Once I understood that God can do whatever He wants to do, however He wants to do it, it gave me a peace and a liberty in His name I've never had before that time.
Sometimes, we struggle with hope and faith. We don't want to 'Get our hopes up', but where does faith come in? It comes in the everyday knowledge that no matter what we're experiencing at the moment, God already had a plan, and figured things out on our behalf! This is great news, because it lets me know that I'm not alone, and it also tells me that God is on my side.
As people of God, we must live our faith out. We can't just talk about it, or study up on it - we must put it into practice or it's just a bunch of hot air. Besides, people are tired of hearing about faith, and God, and Christ, they are looking for Him to be demonstrated in our lives! This is what the world needs, a group of believers that are truly living their faith...it takes living for the God that can do all things, to accomplish this...
Can God really do all things? What about in your life? Is He in control or are you in control? Is He the God of promises, or the God of conditions? We must put our faith where it counts...not in our own abilities and talents...but in the power of Jesus Christ Himself. His Spirit working on the inside of the child of God is the only thing necessary for Victory!!
