The God of the Impossible

Got any rivers you think are uncrossable?

Got any mountains you can't tunnel through?

God specializes in things thought impossible;

He does the things others cannot do. -Eliason

Some of you will know this verse; we used to sing it in Sunday School when I was a child. But do we really believe it? Do we believe our God is the God of the impossible?

Jer 33:3 Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and inscrutable things which you do not know.

Jam 1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and with no reproach, and it shall be given to him.

Jam 1:6 But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing. For he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed.

Jam 1:7 For do not let that man think that he shall receive anything from the Lord;

Jam 1:8 he is a double-minded man, not dependable in all his ways.

If we pray and ask God to do something for us, do we pray believing he will, or do doubts persist. I know I pray at times and then doubts arise not as to whether God can answer my prayers but as to whether he will, or is it in accordance with his will.

Luk 12:7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows.

Should we doubt that God can answer prayer when he even knows the number of hairs on our heads? He cares for us. He is our loving Heavenly Father.

Luk 11:9 And I say to you, Ask and it shall be given you. Seek and you shall find. Knock and it shall be opened to you.

What happens when we ask? We shall receive an answer to our prayers. Sometimes it is not the answer we want, but our Lord and Heavenly Father knows what is best for us. We need to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and allow him to lead us through our day.

Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

If we are truly walking in the Spirit we will not doubt that all things are possible with God.

Luk 18:27 And He said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

Mar 9:23 Jesus said to him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.

QUESTION: SO, WHO DO WE WORSHIP? ANS: THE GOD OF THE IMPOSSIBLE.

As an un-believer, thanks for making me think.

the uncrossible river, if a person is relying on God to get them across, God will make available or visible a stepping stone, one that can.... you may only see one stone but it is there..... the second or next stone(s) may not be visible until you are on the last one you can see.....

I have yet to come to a river that was uncrossible, nor a mountain that was unclimblible....

I do believe that God is able but is He willing to answer my prayers? I fall into the same trap of belief and wondering if it's His will. I'm waiting for an answer now actually and the clock is ticking. (timing is critical - need answers now) He has answered me in the past numerous times and I was sure of them because I was seeking spiritual things. He has never failed me there ever. But this one is a little different. It doesn't go against Scripture and I don't think it will hurt me according to my evil mind but He knows better.

Right on, Mike! Ya know, sometimes we don't get that stone, though, and we walk on across the water with our eyes on Jesus like Peter did!!! Praise God, He is more than capable of bringing us through, over, out, whatever He may choose!!!

Irene, I totally agree and thanks for the post

I had trouble with this for sometimes He does not make a way to cross the river for He really doesn't want you on the other side. I've been there and sometime it takes years to realize that the answer to a preyer to cross the river was not unheard or ignored, but was simply NO. I didn't bother to listen to the rest that said you'll die over there; it's not going to happen.

Sometimes I'm still like a 2 year old and NO just really doesn't sink in very well.

Wow! Makes ya think! Everything you said, I know, I believe them in my head. My problem is that sometimes I have difficulty believing I'm eligible for God's miracles, goodness, grace....Know what I mean? Somedays it's hard to have faith.

It's good to be reminded, though!
