It Is Possible
This week has been somewhat indescribable. I was getting to a point where I thought there was no purpose in the things I was seeking and that they were impossible. I am sure many of us have had that thought before concerning circumstances that do not seem to budge. It could be how long it has taken, the weight of the circumstance, or the lack of help that seems to reveal itself at the most critical time. The information that would have helped you in that moment but simply was not there.
I was making peace with the fact that certain circumstances were not going to give way even when I declared the Word of God. But how could that be when the Word of God says, “So shall My word be that goes out from My mouth. It shall not return to Me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it” Isaiah 55:11 ESV.
In frustration I wondered how the Word of God could say these things yet here I was declaring them and it looked as though nothing was happening. During this time I went back and forth in my mind about what was wrong with this picture because it was clearly not the picture the Bible paints for those who believe in Christ.
Then the Father comforted me once again. He spoke to me and reminded me that He would not forsake me. “I will never leave you nor forsake you” Hebrews 13:5 ESV.
But this time I pushed back internally. I had heard that before, I continued to looked at what had not changed yet. I knew I could count the things the Lord had done for me, but what about the things that had not budged. Should they not have been removed by now.
Yet the Father remained firm. I will not forsake you. Somehow joy crept back into my heart slowly even though I resisted it. In this gradual process of being filled again with His love it dawned on me. “For nothing will be impossible with God” Luke 1:37 ESV.
I began to recount how many impossible things I had already overcome. I realized it was true. I have my own testimonies. There are situations the Father brought me out of that I know were solely Him. If it were not for Him my story would look very different. There are things I survived that should have led to my death and yet I am still standing.
I didn’t want to dwell on those stories too much but the truth is the truth and I continue to experience the epignosis of God.
Jesus was born of a virgin. That was once impossible. He was crucified and rose victorious on the third day. Demons can be casted out. That was once unheard of. The sick can be healed. The lame walk. And you reading this can attest to situations where the impossible was made possible.
So I reset myself and renewed my mind. A quiet shimmering joy grew stronger in my chest . It felt like an early morning sunrise, when the sun looks golden but still dim. Anything is possible with the Lord.
Because He loves me.
Because He spilled His blood for me to be free.
Because what seems impossible to me is not impossible to Him.
Amen.
