DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE

Risk and Impossibility

God sees things much differently than we do.  The Bible says “nothing is impossible for God.” When God looks at a task, He sees how to do it; to Him, impossibility doesn’t exist.  By contrast, human beings look at people and circumstances to determine if a task is possible.

Sooner or later, God always does the impossible.   I’ve lived it.  Here’s but a puny example from my collection, but one that involves easy-to-understand physics. In an impossibly short space, God stopped a van I was driving (at 35 mph on a dirt road) to keep me from hitting a man on a bicycle.  The tires did not skid, there was no rapid deceleration, there were no panic brakes—the van just stopped ¼” from the man.  There s no way, in the natural world that I could have pulled off this miracle.

The Bible is all about impossibilities.  The list goes on and on. In fact, from what I can see, any time God is serious, He will ALWAYS do the impossible at some point.  By doing the impossible, He attests that He is God and that He is into the event or the calling.  

 The point is that in your experience, walk, and calling with God you will come up against the impossible.  It doesn’t mean that God does not love you; it means that God is calling you to trust him and go forward to do the impossible.  Doing the “impossible” often is the only way for God to achieve His plan.  In a seemingly impossible situation, you have two choices:  go on with God into the “impossible”, or surrender to what you believe is “possible” and never fulfill the major purpose that God has for your life. 

 Twice in my life I’ve been disabled, but wasn’t.   More times than I can count I’ve come up against a brick wall—no way over, under, around or through—and God directed me somewhere else: to “His way.”  But His “way” was extremely risky; I even deemed it unwise; I had no peace about taking the road He suggested.  It seemed God’s escape for me was across a solid rock wall with minimal handholds and a thousand feet of rock cliff below…ending in more rocks.  And I made it anyway!

God wants to do great things in your life and in the lives of your loved ones, but that will only happen by trusting Him and going into the supernatural in whatever measure is necessary to accomplish the purposes of God...and your own.  You must move forward in God; that’s your job. God will do the rest.  Trust is the answer to the fear you’ll feel.  Never give up, and never give up on yourself.
