Nothing is impossible for God. When you know that nothing is impossible for God,
it means you trust God and you believe that no matter what happens, you will be
a winner because God is there for you.
We all like miracles and we all want to see miracles, even
when we pray we keep asking God to see changes to get something we don’t have.
“Lord protect us, heal me, give me peace, joy, money, job, salvation for my
family, I trust you God, you are the only one who can give this to me”. No one prays to God and says, “I don’t need
anything from you”. God created those
needs in our life so we can always go back to Him and remember that nothing is
impossible for God.
Before Jesus left, He shared bread and wine and the message,
“Do this for remembrance, remember me, it is a symbol of remembering me”. What do you remember about God in your
life? What pushes you to stop and think
about what God has done for you. Have
you stopped and thought about all that God has done for you throughout your
life?
We must first remember from our creation, when God created a
human beings it was on the 6th day and everything was
beautiful. He created just using His
words. In my tribe we believe that if
you have eye problems then look into the sun at 5:30am and then you will see a
change in your eyes like a miracle. When
you have pain in your eyes let the fresh air from the river to heal your
eyes. We don’t wear glasses in my tribe
because we use the nature that God has created.
On the 6th day, God took the dust and made a
body. He was an artist that day. He gave the mud a shape and it looked good
but the difference was that He didn’t want to speak as He created the rest of
the world. God didn’t make a tree from dust
or the sky or the sun or even a lion. He
preferred to use His hands to make a human being and He gave you and I life.
He said, “We are going to make a human being that will be
like us”. He decided to take a portion
of Himself to make something new that will look like Him. That portion is not my body but our
soul. God is eternal and only a soul is
eternal. Our body can easily die but the
soul doesn’t die. He chose the nostrils
of Adam and breathed.
When you try to breath, you breath in and out. For someone to feel your breath, you have to
push it out and when you feel it, feels like a wind. When it reaches you, it rests on you. God took a soul that is you and me and
divided in 3 parts. First part came out
of his lung, mouth and lips. The second
part is the wind that left his lips and the 3rd part is where the
breathe rested. From those 3, the human
being has life. If one of those steps is
missing, there is no life.
God put that in you.
By putting that in you, it means that you become someone who resembles God. Do you believe that you look like God? Most of the time we don’t think so because God
is maybe rich and I am poor or He is handsome and I am not or because He has
everything and I don’t. What we see
outside is not what He looks at, He looks at our souls. Does your soul they reflect God?
One day God will take back the soul He gave us. The body will go back to dust but the soul
will come back to God. He didn’t hide
it, it was clear. The most important
thing to God is that when He breaths out and you breath in, you will have to
one day breath out the soul and He will take it back.
How can you explain the soul and how it works? Nothing is impossible to God. When our mothers become pregnant, something
will start to grow in their bodies, the baby.
The baby has eyes but can’t see, they have nostrils but can’t breathe,
they have ears but can’t understand, they have mouth but can’t speak until they
come out. When they reach this world,
breathing starts, eyes open and ears open and they can start to eat.
The life in us is like a pregnancy. There will be a time when there will be a
rebirth and everything will be open in heaven to us and we will understand
everything. Although God has given us
the soul, He said you have to live on the earth where you will face challenges
and problems.
God, you created me in your image but you don’t face
problems. We all like miracles but
remember a miracle will only happen when there is a problem. If you want a big miracle then accept also a
big problem. Once the problem doesn’t
find a solution that is when miracle comes.
For example, someone can tell you that they want to be
healed. God says yes, I will open the
path. First step, your pain will be
multiplied by 3 and you will go to the Dr and they can’t help. You might be disappointed and find it so
hard, “Lord heal me”. During that time,
you may see someone coming to you and praying then you are healed. If you did not accept the problem, you could
not accept the miracle.
The storm comes into every person’s life. The devil is here and storms don’t choose
what foundation you have, you can be a believer or not, the storm will come and
you will face it. As children of God, we
know that problems are there but we forget most of the time that nothing is
impossible for God. All your problems
are temporary and nothing is there for eternity. If you are sick, that sickness has an end.
Remember whatever storm you are facing, will only be there
for a short time but you must prepare your soul for eternity.
Luke 1:37, the angel came down and said to Mary, “You are
going to conceive and give birth to a child,” and Mary was confused, “Who are
you”. “I am the angel of the Lord, God
has sent me to you”. Imagine someone
walking in here, “God has sent me to you, I am an angel of the Lord”. We will not believe them. “Don’t be afraid, I am an angel of God and I
have a message for you.” We might doubt because the angel didn’t come to Mary
with wings but as a human being.
The angel said, “Nothing is impossible for God”. You can’t exclude even small things. Your biggest problem, your heaviest one, it
is not impossible for God. When you have
no money, it’s not impossible for God. When
you say I want to go to heaven, that is not impossible for God. When you say, I want my family to be saved,
nothing is impossible to God even when they are dying as a sinner.
That day on the cross, the man next to Jesus said, “You are
the son of God, why are you crucified next to us, if you are son of God do
something”. The other one said, “Don’t forget me when you go to your kingdom”. Jesus said, “Today I will be with you in
paradise”. Who could believe that man
could be saved and in paradise the same day.
He didn’t go through repentance, He just told Jesus that He recognised
who He was and don’t forget me.
When was the last time that you said to God, don’t forget me? When I am in pain, do I tell God to not
forget me or do I forget? A lot of
problems surround us. The first thing
you see is problem, maybe your body is in pain.
The first thing those who need glasses do is to find their glasses. Others
who are smokers, must have a cigarette as the first thing they do. If they don’t, they will feel sick.
Others sing and praise God.
Others don’t have time to praise God, they have to eat first. Maybe we bring all our problems so God as the
first thing. We start with all our
issues before starting our day.
Once we have the answers, we often forget to come back and
say thank you to God. I was lucky to get
there on time. I woke up early and I was
the first person in the shop and everything was 70% off and my credit card was
approved. We feel like we are capable but
we couldn’t without God.
Once you have solution to your problem, do you thank him or
do you just think it is your right. Once
you believe that it is your right, God will tell you no, that is not your
right. Come close to me. by coming close to God you have to carry all
your burdens.
1 Peter 5:7, cast all your anxiety on God because He cares
for you. All your problems, whatever
makes your anxious cast them on God, not on a person but all your burdens to Jesus,
not to a counsellor or doctor but tell Jesus first, “Here are my problems Jesus”. God created everything by words meaning our
words are also powerful. I prefer to
pray out loud because my words have power and I can change things.
Moses blessed his kids using words. God blessed us with words. Jesus used His words to heal. We need to use our words to tell God our
problems. He wants to hear from you and
hear what you will say. If your problem
is big, keep talking about it. I’ve seen people cry in front of others and tell
them about their problems but they don’t have 4 minutes to spend in front of God
to cry to God. They quickly pray and then
leave it so they can watch a movie.
God is saying, “Come close to Me”. The father saw the prodigal son and he
welcomed him back. It was up to the son
to come close to the father. When you
bring your burden to Jesus, He says, “Come closer to me”. For that reason, I gave you the example of
the man on the cross next to Jesus. None
of the crowd shouting to Jesus met with Jesus in paradise that day only the one
close to Jesus who expressed Himself came to Jesus.
You have to carry your own cross and talk to Jesus about
your situation. You can’t leave it to
others to pray for you. Your first enemy
is your body. Your body will push you to
become angry, steal, commit mistake, and you feel bad but praise the Lord for
reconciliation. How often do you
reconcile with yourself, God, and your soul?
Life is short and none of will live for 160 years. Yesterday it was someone’s turn and tomorrow
maybe mine. You won’t know the
time. My father used to say, even if you
are wealthy, when death comes it won’t accept to take your money to leave you
alive. Your soul will say hallelujah it
is my time now to live in eternity. Your
body can fight and they don’t want to leave but the soul will say no, I must go
back to where I came from.
We prefer to be in this world to suffer but Jesus wants us
to rest in heaven. If your burden is too
heavy, is there no solution to your problem, if yes, now is the time to pray to
God and remind him that nothing is impossible to God.
