\"Mission
God loves impossible missions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Genesis 18:11-12 says, \u201cAbraham and Sarah were old and getting on in years.\u00a0 Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.\u00a0 So she laughed to herself: \u2018After I have become shriveled up and my lord is old, will I have delight?\u2019<\/p>\n

Sarah was reacting to a word from the Lord who said to Abraham, \u201cI will certainly come back to you in about a year\u2019s time, and your wife Sarah will have a son.\u201d (v. 10) The Bible says that Sarah laughed at God\u2019s word.\u00a0 She laughed because God\u2019s word was absurd and impossible for her to imagine happening. God\u2019s response to her laugh was, \u201cIs anything impossible for the Lord?\u201d<\/p>\n

God let all of Abraham\u2019s natural ability completely abate so He could show Himself strong.\u00a0 God often waits until we hit the place of impossibility before He shows up and does what is humanly impossible.<\/p>\n

The Bible is full of impossibilities being made possible by God.\u00a0 Manna from heaven (Deuteronomy 8:16)?\u00a0 Water from a rock, enough to satisfy around two million people (Exodus 17:6)?\u00a0 Marching around a city seven times; one shout and it fell (Joshua 6:1-5)?\u00a0 A young boy slaying a giant with a sling and a stone (1 Samuel 17:48-50)?\u00a0 Taking out an army of thousands with only 300 men (Judges 7:7)?\u00a0 Praising the Lord to defeat an army of tens of thousands (2 Chronicles 20:20-23)?\u00a0 Speaking to a valley of dry bones and they come alive (Ezekiel 37:1-10)?\u00a0 A widow feeding a prophet and her son for three and a half years with a little flour and oil (1 Kings 17:8-16)?\u00a0 A virgin giving birth to a son (Matthew 1:20-23)?\u00a0 The dead being raised (John 11:43-44)?\u00a0 Need I say more?\u00a0 The Bible is filled with stories of impossible things happening to those who trust in the Lord.<\/p>\n

One evening a group of us went to the home of a young family who had a child with a brain tumor.\u00a0 We huddled around that child and prayed.\u00a0 The next time that boy was taken to the doctor they could find no trace of the cancerous tumor.\u00a0 It was gone!\u00a0 Impossible?\u00a0 Yes, but not for God.<\/p>\n

A family member had a punctured eardrum.\u00a0 She was complaining of the discomfort so I went behind her and cupped her ears, commanding the eardrum to be restored.\u00a0 She went to the doctor two days later (The same doctor that told her that her eardrum was punctured) and to his amazement the eardrum was healed.<\/p>\n

I was in need of a new car.\u00a0 My credit at the time was terrible and I had no money to purchase one.\u00a0 One day I told the Lord that I needed a new car.\u00a0 That was in November of 2011.\u00a0 On December 5, 2012, the owners of the company I worked for handed me the keys to a brand-new Camry, along with a gas card.\u00a0 It was impossible for me to buy a new car, but God moved in the hearts of two men to make what was impossible possible.<\/p>\n

I had severe knee pain for a number of months.\u00a0 It was getting hard to drive because of the way I had to bend it.\u00a0 I was an usher in church and served with severe pain, almost to the point of tears.\u00a0 \u00a0I finally got tired of it and commanded my knee to heal.\u00a0 I kept speaking to it and guess what?\u00a0 My knee obeyed my voice and was healed!\u00a0 Impossible?\u00a0 For me, yes, but not for God.<\/p>\n

There are reasons why all these impossible things were possible.\u00a0 Yes, God performed them, but He needed cooperation.\u00a0 God has committed Himself to partner with mankind and the way we partner with Him is by faith.\u00a0 Every one of the incidences I mentioned above occurred because God is drawn to a person of faith.\u00a0 He cooperates with our faith to do the impossible.<\/p>\n

Time after time Jesus said to those He healed, \u201cYour faith has made you well.\u201d\u00a0 Every miracle Jesus did involved faith.\u00a0 Every miracle you do or experience will involve faith.\u00a0 God takes pleasure in a person of faith and rewards him (Hebrews 11:6).<\/p>\n

God delights in doing the impossible. I believe the Lord is seeking faith-filled people in impossible situations.\u00a0 God is glorified when the impossible happens in the life of a person of faith.\u00a0 People are awed and stand in wonder when they see and hear of healings and financial breakthroughs.\u00a0 It gives us a chance to \u201cshow-off\u201d our God!\u00a0 I love it when I can tell people the impossible things that God has done!<\/p>\n

What is your situation?\u00a0 What is your impossible?\u00a0 What do you need to be done for you?\u00a0 Whatever it is, faith in God and in His Word is the answer.\u00a0 God cannot resist a person of faith. He will act on that persons behalf 100% of the time.<\/p>\n

You may ask, how do I get faith?\u00a0 How can I build up my faith?\u00a0 I have written articles on faith that will guide you in the faith-building process.\u00a0 However, I will give you two clues:\u00a0 God\u2019s Word and the Holy Spirit.\u00a0 The Bible says that faith comes by hearing God\u2019s Word (Romans 10:17) and we build up our most holy faith praying in the Holy Spirit (Jude 20).\u00a0 The Spirit and the Word are the keys to building up your faith, or more correctly stated, God\u2019s faith in you (Mark 11:22).\u00a0 I will add one more important thing that has helped me: The testimonies of others!\u00a0 When I read or hear of what God has done for others I get encouraged knowing that what God has done for one person, He will do for all.\u00a0 The Bible says that God doesn\u2019t show favoritism (Acts 10:34).\u00a0 Therefore, you can rest assured that God will do for YOU what He has done for others.\u00a0 Your job is to understand the how and why.\u00a0 How did their miracle happen and why?\u00a0 The answer will pretty much be the same.\u00a0 They heard the Word of God, meditated upon it and prayed the Word in the spirit until their miracle manifested.\u00a0 They persisted and didn\u2019t give up.<\/p>\n

There are many cases where a prophetic word is spoken and a person could hear that word and believe it\u2019s for them.\u00a0 If they do they will receive their miracle.\u00a0 Let me illustrate\u2026<\/p>\n

One day I was listening to Sid Roth.\u00a0 At the end of his show, It\u2019s Supernatural<\/strong>, he prophesied that if anyone had neck pain they would be healed.\u00a0 I took that word and claimed it for ME because I was suffering from chronic neck pain.\u00a0 Well, sure enough, I was healed and haven\u2019t had any neck pain since!\u00a0 I would encourage you to watch It\u2019s Supernatural<\/strong>, for Sid Roth has a new guest every week who operates in the supernatural.\u00a0 Just hearing their stories will build up your faith.\u00a0 Who knows, maybe someone will prophecy concerning a need you have, whether it is healing or a financial breakthrough.<\/p>\n
