The God Who Can.....


But Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26

Now those were Jesus words Himself and yet Christians still struggle with the omnipotence of God. I think it is because they tend to forget who they are addressing when praying. Friend, You need to keep in mind that when praying, you are communicating with:

. The Creator of heaven and earth
. The One who separated the Red Sea
. The One who rescued Daniel from the lions' pit.
. The One who gave a David victory over Goliath the giant
. The One who gave Sara a child in her old age.
. The One who rose up Joshua and the Hebrew armies to take the land of Canaan.
. The One who brought down the walls of Jericho. Glory!

Think for a moment: If God sent His son to die for you, then what wouldn't He do for you?
So the world seems against you. The devil declares war in your marriage, and in your relationships. So you're unable to find a job, you are sick in your body, you are struggling with sins, your love ones are battling addictions. War is raging all around you. There are all sorts of struggles, and on the inside, you battling against pride, anger, lust, greed, rejection and various wants and needs. As a Christian, what do you do when life is coming down on you hard, when all the doors seem to be closed? When you are in distress, worried or hurt? How do you fight temptation and face your giant? The answer is simply the word of God. You need to get into the word. You need to release your faith and watch God work. The Bible is filled with countless stories of victory and deliverance. God has not changed. "For I am the Lord, I am unchanged; and so you, O sons of Jacob, have not been cut off" (Malachi 3:6). He is still reigning, He will do for you what He has done for many. When trouble arises refuse to fear and don't give in. Go to the Lord in prayers, and praise and receive your miracle. Pride is the cause of Christian's weakness. We want to work and let God help a little when the reality is that we must come to Him, helpless and humble, to let Him work.

Surrender totally to God. Remain at His feet when life gets tough. Live in obedience; trust that God is able and willing. Keep praying and believing in His omnipotence and His undeniable love and the answer to your prayers will come, and like Abraham, David, Daniel and many more you will become strong in faith, giving glory to God, because you trusted Him and He didn't let you down.

I don't know what your mountain/giant is today, but I can assure you that the Omnipotent God can and will bring it down, for what is impossible to man, is possible to Him. He is the only living God!

Praise the Lord!
