All things are possible.
The title for this blog post is something that I saved as a draft post on July 22nd of this year. And I’m just now re-engaging this idea. It’s okay, there’s grace. And, the statement still reigns true so many months later. I’m excited to write about this today.
All things are possible.
Nothing is impossible…for God.
Miracles exist. Miracles happen. I’m a living testimony of the impossibility of God being made possible; I’ve been healed of so, so much. My heart has become so much more tender and stable over the years, too. Pursuing healing for the long haul, while also expecting God to move miraculously in a moment - what a beautiful thing!
There are many, many things I can think of that are seemingly impossible for me, but not for God.
He is above time and space and created the universe with His voice. With His breath He brought humanity to life. He’s made dead people come back to life. He’s healed people of cancer. He’s made blind people to see, lepers to find healing, paralyzed people to walk, and - above all - He’s reconciled us to Himself. All of the physical miracles He does for us are truly amazing, but a soul saved is the greatest miracle of all.
What a good, good thing it is to be enveloped in a relationship with the God of the universe. He is capable of anything and everything good, and tapping into His power is something we have eternal access to as humans. Hallelujah.
When I think about all things being possible, with God, I think about the mental strength and fortitude necessary to hold onto that belief. If I don’t believe all things to be possible, the smallness of my beliefs and pursuits will illustrate that; the amount of belief I have in what’s possible is directly proportionate to what can actually happen.
For example, If I only think I’m capable of making $100,000 a year, then that’s what I’ll aim for, work towards, and find possible too. I ultimately limit myself (and maybe even God too to some extent) if I’m not willing to dream past that $100K mark. However, if I’m aware of God, things can look a lot different. What’s possible is intricately linked to what I believe myself to be capable of, too.
It’s truly amazing how thinking about what’s possible or not can alter the course of one’s life. Believing it’s possible to make $100K/year on one hand might seem outrageous to some, but - what if - it’s not.
I think about changing my mind about unbelief, as a result of all these things. I think about constantly coming back to the idea of how crippling unbelief can be on my inner self too. And just how important it is to challenge the ways in which I limit myself by a lack of faith. Is the lack of belief rooted in fear? Anxiety? Worry? Unnecessary concern?
One of the most renowned Christian evangelist once said he repented of unbelief daily, and daily saw and ministered to people in miraculous ways. And yet he still found himself wanting to grow deeper in his belief of miracles and all things being possible with God. He is God, anyways. Why wouldn’t He be capable of all things?
Believing nothing is impossible with God gives me deep hope. It encourages me greatly. He knows my yesterday, my today, and my tomorrow. And He truly does have the whole world in His hands. Even with the ways of the world ever present, the more faith I have, the less fear I hold onto, and the deeper my trust in Him, the greater miracles I’ll see. All things are possible, with Him.
