WALKING IN DIVINE POSSIBILITY

WALKING IN DIVINE POSSIBILITY

Text: LUKE 18:27: Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”  LUKE 1:37: For with God nothing shall be impossible.

INTRODUCTION:

Let us examine the word IM-POSSIBLE, the Greek word for impossible is ADÝNATOS (ad-oo'-nat-os) meaning unable, powerless

Let us also examine the word possibility: the Greek word to possibility is DYNATÓS (doo-nat-os') meaning powerful, able (i.e. properly, able, describing what is made possible because of the power (ability) exerted by the subject; "preeminent ability or power in something")

In other words, when we replace the word impossible with the origin word in Greek, then the scripture will read: what is adynatos with man is dynatos with God or For with God nothing shall be Adynatos i.e. what is powerless/unable with man is powerful/able with God or For with God nothing shall be powerless/unable

God has great power of possibility, there is nothing we want, desire or need that is not available in God’s power, certain imagination may be difficult for us to understand because we are made of flesh but All things whatsoever  are subjected to the ruling of the power of God. There are different scripture that explain the power of God. For example: Psalm 62:11 “Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,”

 Jeremiah 10:12 “It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.”

God is capable to handle whatever might seems too hard or impossible for man. There is no trouble you are going through now that God cannot save you from it, no matter how mighty or big or complicated it might look. God is capable of taking care of it by his power: Psalm 79:11 “May the groans of the prisoners come before you; with your strong arm preserve those condemned to die.”  The worst thing that can happen to a man’s destiny is to cut short the destiny by untimely death and God said in psalm 79:11 that he will preserve( defend, save, care for, protect) those that are condemned( fated, pre destined, damned, destined) to die. How great God we serve, my condemnation is not the end of my life, If what the enemy has done is to condemned me I still have hope in God because he care for my helplessness. I might be a prisoner(criminal, convict, hostage, jailbird or captive) my freedom might have been take away from me, in all this because I know that I serve God that is powerful, he will deliver me. I am qualified for his divine possibility by grace. Ephesians 2:8 - For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God.  Romans 11:6 - And if by grace, then [is it] no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if [it be] of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

HOW DO I WALK IN DIVINE POSSIBILITY

1.      THINK POSSIBILITY:

Philippians 4:8 - Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things. 2 Corinthians 10:5 - Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalted itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;  ANOTHER TRANSLATION OF BIBLE SAYS: Philippians 4:8 (Common English Bible) ⁸ From now on, brothers and sisters, if anything is excellent and if anything is admirable, focus your thoughts on these things: all that is true, all that is holy, all that is just, all that is pure, all that is lovely, and all that is worthy of praise. The bible does not give us permission to think of our impossibility; the truth of God’s word is that we will encounter things that may seem impossible to us because we are flesh and blood. God does not guarantee a trouble free life but he guarantees the power to overcome all troubles. He has given us a simple instruction think possibility so that you can come into your possibility, Cast down all imagination and thought to the obedience of Christ Jesus. Good news translation of Proverb 4:23 “be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts. The facet of your life now is as a result of what you have engage your mind with, God has ordained a reflection of our life through our mind, so if you what to see divine possibility in your life; start to think possibility in all ways. That is FAITH, faith is thinking possibility.
Romans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

 

2.      CONFESS POSSIBILITY:

Matthew 15:11 - Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man. Hebrews 13:5 - [Let your] conversation [be] without covetousness; [and be] content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Proverbs 18:21 - Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Romans 10:13 - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. It si only those that call upon the name of the lord that will be saved, the fact that you did not call upon him does not change his grace and power to save or he is not capable of taking out of your troubles, he know what you are going through but God will not bend his principle for any man, therefore we are the one that must understand his ways and abide by it. If you expect divine possibility begin to confess it. Proverbs 18:21 saith life and death are in the power of tongues; that means there is a power of tongue! It goes further to say that they that love it shall eat the fruit; this will be make clearer in the following translations Amplifier bible: Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life]. Complete Jewish bible: The tongue has power over life and death; those who indulge (cherish, protect care for) it must eat its fruit.  Common English Version: Words can bring death or life! Talk too much, and you will eat everything you say. The Stands of God’s word concerning confession is clear, and simple confess what you want in your life and you will see it happening for you. Now, note this: because you have the power to change your life with your confession will not change the fact about life challenging, but when you see what is not yours reflecting in your life; God has given you power to change to what you want by your confession.

 

3.      ACTS POSSIBILITY: Ephesians 2:10 “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” James 2:18 “But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” 2 Peter 1:5 “For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue (good value/good worth); and to virtue, knowledge” James 2:14 “What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?” 1 Peter 1:13 “Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.” Ephesians 6:10-13 “¹⁰ finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹ Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. ¹² For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. ¹³ Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have DONE everything, TO STAND.

There is no amount of the knowledge of God’s word that you may have that can enact God’s benefit of his principle without acting on it. There is always the doing to stand. It was what you have done that we help you to stand against the schemes of the devil. This another principle of fact, emphasizing that the day of trouble is part of life of  a man, there are days when our enemy, the devils will put up his schemes against us, you don’t have to be sinful to before the devil put a scheme at you, because you are saved and righteous is one major reason why he will want to scheme you out of your comforts but God said, having DONE ALL – YOU WILL BE ABLE TO STAND against him. Your Action is as important as the Thinking and Confession, each of these 3 steps are powerful individually.

IN CONCLUSION: There is a promise of divine possibility for your, if you can believe Gods word and take to all this 3 steps, you will come into great possibility that you can never imagine that will happen to you.

God want to take up your case,1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God and one mediator( intermediary/negotiator/liaison agent between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus” why then are you struggle all alone, why are you running as if you don’t have an umpire that will protect you, why are living as if you are fatherless. God is your father, mother brother, your umpire, your deliver and protector. Why don’t you release yourself for him and watch out for great and mighty things he will do in your life.

If you are not yet saved, you can’t come into this divine possibility, the promise of divine possibility is only for those that have confessed their sins, repent of it and ask Jesus Christ to come into their life to help them live a new life. DIVINE POSSIBILITY is part of the promise of a new life in Christ Jesus. If you can do that now; you will be privilege to enjoy this promise in your life.
