Satisfaction
Many of the things people accomplish don’t require God. The tap into their human talent to accomplish what mankind can accomplish, but you were born for more. The reason God didn’t take you to be with Him when you became a Christian is because you have a divine assignment. Your assignment is to invade the impossible.
There is a sense of satisfaction with any accomplishment, but God wants you to experience the satisfaction of having His power flow through you. Power that allows you to see cancer disappear, lives restored, and demons sent running, all flowing from faith that believes all things are possible with God.
What has God said?
The Angel Gabriel gave Mary a message from God that was beyond comprehension, “You will give birth to the Son of God.” Mary was blown away. She asked, “How can this be?” Gabriel answered with these words, “For with God nothing will be impossible.”
Bible teacher Jack Taylor did an excellent word study on this verse. He discovered that the word “nothing” is actually two words, “no” and “thing”; and the word “thing” is rhema in the Greek, which means “the freshly spoken or revealed word of God”. And the words, “will be impossible” literally mean, “without ability.” Therefore the actual transliteration of this verse could be…
“No freshly spoken word of God will ever come to you without containing its own ability to perform itself.” (Luke 1:37, JT)
It all boils down to this…what has God said to you? At minimum, you should at least attempt to do what Jesus did, but the fear of looking foolish to others will keep you from responding to what God has said. It’s much easier (and safer) to just stick to those things that can be accomplished with your own ability. But you were made for more!
As a Christian, you weren’t destined to play it safe. You should have an appetite for the impossible. It has been written into your spiritual DNA to hunger for the impossibilities around you to bow to the name of Jesus!
