WITH GOD NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

"For with God nothing shall be impossible." - (Luke 1:37)


There are many things we face in our lives which seem impossible. With God, however, there is only the possible. The Bible assures us that nothing is impossible with God.

Because nothing is impossible with God—
An angel could tell a virgin that she would conceive;
A prophet could tell a poor woman, during a severe drought, that her handful of flour would never be used up and her small amount of oil would never run dry;
A warrior could command the sun to stand still;
A nation could walk across a vast sea on dry ground;
Three men could be in the middle of a blazing inferno and not be burned.

How do we live in God’s “all things are possible” world? How do we see things from His point of view? It is through faith…

Faith sees what human eyes cannot see.
Faith speaks what human words cannot utter.
Faith goes where human feet cannot travel.
Faith does not need to figure out how God will fulfill His promise.
Faith simply replies, “Let it be to me according to Your word.”


Has God given you a promise from His Word? Is there a desire He has placed within your heart? Where is its fulfillment? How will it come to pass? From where will the power come to perform it? God, who spoke the promise to you and placed the desire within your heart, is the One who will bring it to pass. He does not ask you to attempt the impossible, but He does want you to trust Him to do what only He can do.

GOD'S HEALING TOUCH

Matthew 9:21-22 (NIV) -

She said to herself, "If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed." Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that moment.

WAIT ON ME

Continue to pray for this one and the accompanying situations. This pleases Me. If I need you to say something, I will tell you what and when and how. If you wait on Me, the results will be the right words, the right timing, and the right way. You may not need to say anything. I am working. Wait on Me. I will show you. Trust in Me step by step.

Ecclesiastes 3:1,7 “There's an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth: 7 A right time to rip out and another to mend, A right time to shut up and another to speak up,”

- Bev Robinson

YOU ARE OUR CERTAINTY

Lord, we look to you in these days of uncertainty. We know you are our certainty. Even when storms rage, we pray that you will give peace and certainty that, even if we go through stormy times, we will make it through and You will provide for us. Amen.

YOUR FAITH HAS CAPTURED HIS ATTENTION

Stop weeping. No need to worry. The One in whom you are trusting will conquer every enemy. He will wipe away your tears. His embraces will envelope you. Your faith has captured His attention. Nothing you have lost can compare to the power of His healing and restoration. No room for fear. His love has overcome it. His mercy has soothed your wounds. He is on the scene, ever ready for battle. He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah. He inhabits your praise in such times as these. Please Him with extravagant praise. Determine to be outlandish with your display of worship in His presence. He is worthy.
Revelation 5:5 “But one of the twenty-four elders said to me, "Stop weeping! Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David's throne, has conquered. He is worthy to open the scroll and break its seven seals."

RELEASE MY LIGHT

RELEASE MY LIGHT

I AM the God of Lights. You are My Sons and Daughters and I have placed the light of My Son Jesus Christ within you. Give Me your hands, give Me your mouth and release the power of My Son to those who are lost in darkness. I have given you the authority of My Word and the power of My Spirit to lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. Deliver those who are lost in darkness. Pray, decree, prophesy, preach, proclaim. Reach out, touch, impart, transfer, loose. The warmth and power of My tangible Presence is with you beloved children, as you go forth in My Name.


© SANDY WARNER

James 1:17-18 NKJV

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights , with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.

SHEDDING

SHEDDING


My precious Church many of you are walking a road where much of what you have held dear and have treasured seems to be falling to the way side. Many of you are walking a road where you are feeling isolated, lonely and wearied in the battle.

I am speaking to you My Church that I am with you that I am strengthening you and I am drawing you closer to Me than you have ever been before. For now is the time that I am allowing a great shedding to take place within My Church, for much of the old is falling away and the new is arising.

Many of you are feeling that you have come to the end of your rope with many circumstances, and situations in your life and have been crying out to Me for My presence and asking Me where I am in the midst of what you are walking. My Church, I speak to you that I have never left you, I am walking closely beside you and in the darkest of nights I am carrying you.

For now is the time that I am preparing My army, I am preparing those who are willing to stand up and seek Me wholeheartedly, I am preparing those to march forward into all that I have planned for their lives and what I am bringing to this earth very soon. For darkness shall hit the earth but oh how My light shall shine all the brighter, through you My glorious Bride.

My beautiful Church, I love you immensely, I love you with a love that you cannot fathom and I am calling you higher, deeper and closer. Many of you are seeking strategies, outcomes, answers, healings, provisions, but I am speaking to you My Church, seek Me, seek Me wholeheartedly with the hearts desire that I may be formed in you and then you shall see all other provisions being added unto you.

Many are finding their hearts rested in despair; do not despair My people, for I the Lord thy God am with you, and I am about to turn many circumstances around in the twinkling of an eye. Many of you have laboured long, have prayed hard, and have sought me wholeheartedly, but your situation and circumstances shall not turn around by your strength, for I do not delight in the strength of man, but your circumstances and situations shall turn around because of My divine timing and My perfect purpose accomplished.

Through all that you are walking My people; you are allowing me to 'shed' the old and bring forth the new. The shedding does not happen without much pain, and the night seems so dark, but it is in those moments, those seasons My Bride, that I am doing one of My greatest works.

For many of you are going to be placed in areas of influence, and positions for My Glory and to do My work, but without the shedding of the old, there makes no room for the new and preparation does not occur at the level that I desire.

Now is the season of turn around! Now is the season of surprise! Now is the season where I am going to manifest My Glory in such an amazing way in your lives that you are going to see all that has been burdening you, turn around right before your very eyes, with My seal of love upon it.

Rejoice My Bride, Rejoice, for I the Lord your God am in your midst, I am doing great works; despite the pain of the shedding of the old, rejoice and know the new is here!

MY KINGDOM ON EARTH; TAKE YOUR LAND

Healing, it’s happening. I will help you recover. The healing anointing. It’s here, Sweetheart, it’s here to stay. I will restore My people. The land I choose:


Every place your feet tread.


Josh 1:3-6 NKJV

3. Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.

4.....all the land...... to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory......

5. No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. 6. Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

Ex 3:7-9 NKJV

And the LORD said: "I have surely seen the oppression of My people..... and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. 8 So I have come down to deliver them out..... and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey.


“Here’s what He is going to do. He is going to put this anointing upon the people of God. I’m telling you Jesus came to me and He said, “Ready or not, here I come. And I’ve got a gift in My hand. It’s the gift of healing. It’s going to be upon THE body, not just somebody.” - Bobby Conner.


Ps 66:5 NKJV

Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the sons of men.

Ps 90:16-17 NKJV

Let Your work appear to Your servants, and Your glory to their children. And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.


TAKE YOUR LAND


Beloved ones, the cries of My people have risen to heaven. I have heard their great sorrows in sickness and oppression. Go forth in the power of My gospel and set the captives free. Every place the soles of your feet shall walk in My Name, you shall plant My kingdom on earth.


Put the enemy under your feet and use the authority I have given you. Bind the demonic forces, and loose the captives. Draw near to Me and rebuke the enemy. Lay your hands on the sick and they shall recover. I will work with you, confirming the spoken Word in signs following.


Mark 16:14-20

Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen.


15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."


So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God. 20 And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

Stick To The Plan (4)

Peter replied, 'Tell me to come to You on the water.'
Matthew 14:28 NIV

Peter didn't walk on the water all by himself, he did it with Jesus. Today Christ invites you to walk with Him and experience His miracles. Why don't we see more of them in our lives? Because:

(1) We don't pray and believe God for them. Jesus said, "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you" (John 15:7). Your prayers give God an invitation, an entry point and a channel through which His miraculous power can flow to change your circumstances. But you have to pray and believe Him to do it! (2) We think the day of miracles is past. The Scriptures declare, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). In reality there never has been 'a day of miracles'; there's only a God of miracles, and He never changes. So don't limit Him! (3) We allow sin to sabotage our confidence. John writes, "If our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from Him anything we ask, because we obey His commands and do what pleases Him" (1 John 3:21-22 NIV). (4) We look at the situation instead of the Saviour, and our faith falters. When Jesus told Peter, "Why do you doubt?" He was saying, "Don't allow this storm to overwhelm you. I'm right here with you. Your problem is under My feet, therefore it's under your feet too. Just keep your eyes on Me, keep walking by faith and stick to the plan!"

"YES, YOU WILL GET THROUGH THIS TRIAL"

Al ThomasI saw in the Spirit that some are now in the midst of a circumstance so potentially devastating that fear is drawing near. Others worry that they are beyond the point of recovery. Be reminded that you have a Friend who sticks closer than a brother (Proverbs 18:24) and His adhesiveness is stronger than super glue. Do not agree with the accusations of the devil (Revelation 12:10).

The enemy has whispered to some: "You are a loser, a failure; you're washed up, never to recover, always to be known as one who didn't measure up to the call."

Some know what David meant when he said "no man careth for my soul" (Psalm 142:4) and Job when he wrote "My soul is weary of life" (Job 10:1).

This mess, this "no way out" dilemma can and will be turned around (Isaiah 65:24). God's view of what is happening is much different than yours. He will restore your soul (Psalm 23:3), renew your mind (Romans 12:2) and enlighten your eyes (Isaiah 35:5). Yes, He will deliver you (2 Peter 2:9).

Have all deserted you? He will not. If you are in the place of despair and heartache; do not turn away from God, instead:

KNOW THAT GOD HAS ALREADY CREATED A PLAN FOR YOUR RECOVERY

While you're having those occasional thoughts of quitting, keep in mind that God is currently behind the scenes putting things back together better than they were before you entered this mess (Jeremiah 29:11).

Some have asked, "God, how long do I have to stay in this valley before You do something?" That's the wrong question. The right question is, "God, how should I conduct myself while You are working on this thing?"

The timing is up to God (and the attitude is up to you), but I'll tell you this: It will take no longer than it has to. Not one second longer. God takes no pleasure in you going through this and seeing you suffer. Yet, He will not waste one of your tears (Isaiah 25:8).

THE DEVIL HAS SAID, "YOU HAVE BLOWN IT BEYOND REPAIR"...THAT IS A LIE

No matter what the obstacles, no matter how many times you have failed, no matter how big the pit you have fallen into, His plan for your recovery is sure (Isaiah 65:24).

Feel like you're being chased by giants? God doesn't lie and He has promised to deliver you even if giants with twelve fingers and twelve toes are chasing you (2 Samuel 21:22).

"He shall deliver thee in six troubles; yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee" (Job 5:19). "Six troubles, yea even seven" is a Biblical idiom or phrase that means no matter how many troubles (i.e. ka-Zillions) He will deliver you. Get that in your head.

KNOW THAT GOD'S PLAN FOR YOUR RECOVERY IS FOOLPROOF

As soon as Peter denied Jesus (John 18:25), God had a plan for Peter's restoration (John 21:17). This wasn't the first time Peter blew it, and it wouldn't be the last; so it is with each of us (Romans 7:19). God knew it was going to happen long ago and He made provision for it. You're not going under, you're going through.

Come high water, come fire or come all the demons of hell, the Lord will deliver you.

David wrote "Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through the fire and through the water: but Thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place" (Psalm 66:12).

This word wealthy means "rich fulfillment." Even though the enemy (and even your own mistakes) may have drained you of hope and strength, God will again bring the rich fullness of His presence into your life. There is no "ifs," "ands," or "buts" about it. He will do it. Why? He's so madly in love with you it's beyond your comprehension (Romans 8:35-39).

RECOGNIZE THAT HIS ANSWER IS ON THE WAY - EVEN AT THE DOOR

When we get discouraged and satan tells us the situation is hopeless, we need to resist (James 4:7) and take a stand (Ephesians 6:13). Remember though, no one overcomes by sitting down. Whatever you do, don't start sulking all day and feeling sorry for yourself. Stop with the "shoulda, coulda, woulda" stuff, dust yourself off and get back to the business of the Kingdom.

Don't try to figure out how He will help you. Don't imagine that suddenly He will say, "Abra Kadabra," like Houdini. Oh, yes, He could do an instant miracle and just might, but He wants you to trust Him to do it His way no matter what that may be.

Paul was stoned (and this was on a good day). His friends supposed he was dead (Acts 14:19-21), but the next day he was on the road to preach the Gospel. Some of you feel like you have been stoned, but you will get up like nothing happened.

The enemy likes to whisper to you that things will not change or turn around. Do not listen to him or anyone who speaks with unbelief. Like a bolt of lightning it will hit you that Jesus won the battle for you and you are called to be a conqueror with Him (Romans 8:37).

No, you may not feel like a conqueror right now, but Jesus has passed the baton to me and you (John 20:21) and He did not promise feelings would always accompany the call.

Rejoice, in all the pain, bewilderment and inner turmoil, God is working to reverse the circumstance and use it for your re-commissioning. You, who thought you were unfit, will re-emerge stronger than ever and the devil will see his work backfire.

Stand up...the horizon is before you. The dawn breaks. Victory is coming and you are one of His warriors!

"ONE TO SAY, 'RESTORE'! "

Come to Me all who are weary and I will give you rest.

Your burdens are heavy and your soul is depressed.

Isolated and alone with fear banging at your door.

You were "plunder with none to rescue,

spoil with none to say, Restore!


But now thus says the Lord,

"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by name, you are mine."

Because I love you, I paid your debt in full

You rule and reign in victory,

Hidden together with Me in God

Therefore, "Arise and Shine"!


For I am the Lord your God,

the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.

And I stand gently knocking at your door

Declaring with a voice of triumph,

"RESTORE, RESTORE, RESTORE"!

GOD PROVIDES FOR YOU EACH DAY

DEUTERONOMY 29:5

"I LED YOU FORTY YEARS IN THE WILDERNESS.
YOUR CLOTHES DID NOT WEAR OUT ON YOU,
AND YOUR SANDALS DID NOT WEAR OUT ON YOUR FEET."

JESUS, BY YOUR WOUNDS WE ARE HEALED

MATTHEW 9: 20 - 22

"IF I JUST TOUCH HIS GARMENT, I WILL BE MADE WELL."

"DAUGHTER, CHEER UP! YOUR FAITH HAS MADE YOU WELL."

AND THE WOMAN WAS MADE WELL FROM THAT HOUR.

LIFE'S HARDEST TRIAL

READ: Genesis 22:1-14

[Abraham] said to his servants, "Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you" (Genesis 22:5).

The word is silent about the emotional reaction of Abraham here, but we have only to put ourselves in his place to sense what he felt, how his heart was torn, how he avoids telling Isaac the fearful truth until the very last possible moment, how he perhaps trembles within when Isaac asks the question, "Where is the lamb?" We know there is no real answer to Isaac's question until we run through intervening centuries and listen in the New Testament to John the Baptist standing before the people of Israel saying, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29).

Where did this stricken father find the strength to carry through this fearsome task? The answer is found here in one brief phrase in verse 5, "Abraham said to his servants, 'Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.'" Abraham is not trying to deceive these men, but somewhere in the quiet meditations of that awful night when this word first came to him, there came the consciousness that God could do something to raise this boy from the dead, and Abraham believed in resurrection. That is where he found the peace to follow God's command. In the struggles of that night, he began to reason and to reckon on God.

He must have thought something like this: "God has given me promises, and I have lived with God long enough to know that when God gives a promise, He carries it through. God has said that in my son Isaac all the nations of the earth shall be blessed. Isaac is necessary to the fulfillment of the promise. It can't be any other; He has said this boy is the one who is going to be the fulfillment of the promise. Well then, if God has asked me now to offer him up as a sacrifice, there is only one explanation. God intends to raise him from the dead.

Abraham had never had, as we have today, the experience or the record of anyone having risen from the dead. Yet so firm is his faith in the character of God that he comes to a realization of the resurrection. This is confirmed in Hebrews 11: "By faith Abraham offered Isaac. . . Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead..." (Hebrews 11:17,19). Abraham risked everything he owned and loved on the character of God and found Him to be a God of resurrection.

Because of this wonderful triumph in his life, Abraham calls this place, "God will provide," And based on this miracle there sprang up a little saying in Israel, a proverb: "When you get to the mount, it will be provided." God's ways with people are such that it seems as though deliverance will never come. It seems that you will never be delivered. But if you go on, when you get to the mount, it will be provided. People's disappointments are God's appointments. It is never too late for God. Even if Abraham had been required to carry the bloody business through to its end, his father's heart was quiet in restful peace because he knew God would raise his son from the dead.

God, thank You that regardless of what You call me to lay on the altar in obedience to You, You always know what is best, and You always have a plan.
