Matthew 19:26-But Jesus looked at them and said, With men this is impossible, but all things are possible with God.
Mark 10:27-Jesus glanced around at them and said, With men [it is] impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.
Luke 18:27-But He said, What is impossible with men is possible with God.
If you couldn't catch it, there is a theme here. I think about a month ago, we were at all night prayer at our church office and we were singing this awesome Hillsong song. My friend Misty works with the youth at Bethany Worship Center and she was telling us earlier they were singing this song with the teens and she didn't feel like they understood it...It is like the above verses say, with God, all things are possible. What an encouraging word. When she was sharing these things, she began sharing some of her testimony and revealing to us that TRULY: All things are possible with God!!!
The Lord immediately began rolling these words through my mind over and over again for the next week or so. While in pray with Him, He asked me a question: What is YOUR impossible? Immediately I knew what it was. I told Him to see my entire family SAVED and following Him by the end of this year. I wanted them sozoed-saved, healed and delivered! Totally set free from the oppression of the enemy. For a long time, we that are saved have been praying this for our family. I know the Lord has shown my Aunt and my mom visions of our entire family following Him. He also showed a friend of my moms a vision of all of my family, including my father's family following Him. I have been praying this but I wanted my own revelation of it: I wanted it in my mind's eye.
Since coming to BWC, that is one consistant theme of my church: to see all of our families come to Christ. This has birthed something in me that has enabled me to catch my own vision of my family following Him. He had me name everyone one night while praying. Even friends of our family who have known us for years were put into my heart. I have been yearning to see the Lord at work.
Something changed that night He asked me what my impossible was though. I can't explain it but there was EXPECTATION afterward. Not even 3 weeks after hearing this, I got a call from my mom on Saturday. She just got off the phone with her sister from Florida and she told my mom my cousin gave his heart to the Lord! Wow, that's one down...God is awesome! Well, she gave me another call on Sunday to share some more news: She had gone to our home church in Boulder that morning and got a huge surprise. My other cousin was there and told her he had been going to that church for a few weeks now. Shocker much? This keeps on going: Monday evening I get a text from my brother in Nebraska. He tells me how much he has been missing me and wants me around. When I get down to it, I realize it's not me he wants around, he is growing more curious about the Lord and wants to have someone to talk to about Him. He also tells me that my sister who lives there has been going to church a lot lately too. If that isn't God answering my prayer, I don't know what is. It's like He is telling me, "sit back and watch as I bring them in, one by one." What an amazing God I serve. I don't think this testimony is over yet either. This is just the beginning...
One last question: What is your impossible?
