Nothing Is Impossible With God

November 15

(Luke 1:36-37 NIV) “Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. {37} For nothing is impossible with God.”

(Matthew 17:18-20 NIV) ““Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment. {19} Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, "Why couldn't we drive it out?" {20} He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.””

(Matthew 19:23-26 NIV) ““Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. {24} Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." {25} When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, "Who then can be saved?" {26} Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.””

(Acts 2:23-24 NIV) “This man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge; and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross. {24} But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep its hold on him.”

When Mary was told she would have a baby, she had questions. How could a virgin have a baby? Gabriel told her that God could do anything. Even Elizabeth, a relative who was beyond child bearing years could have a baby, because nothing is impossible for God. No demonic power is invincible to Jesus, for nothing is impossible with God. Mountains can be moved by “mustard seed faith”, because nothing is impossible with God. The worst of sinners can be saved, the leper can be cleansed, the drunk can become sober, the lost can be found, and the dead can be raised… because all things are possible with God. This was the God of Joseph and Mary. Is this your God? Or does your Jesus operate under limits that you have imposed upon Him? Reorient your theology to the truth of Scripture. Nothing is impossible for God. -- Friar Tuck’s Word of the Day
