Redefining Possible

My family has experienced an incredible move of God over the past several weeks. More specifically, what we've been praying for over the past three years concerning my husband's job has finally materialized. Ryan had his swearing in ceremony with a local police department last evening. He is now officially a police officer on his way to the academy on April 2nd. What I've learned through this process more than ever before is this: God is truly a God of impossibilities!

What I want to share with you today is a message that I hope will reinvigorate your faith, to inspire you to look up once again, to know that whatever God has in store for you, nothing can stop His plan from unfolding in your life. Everything on paper concerning Ryan's pursuit to become a police officer looked impossible. He was the least in a pool of many. This is true as far as the human eye could see; however, when God is on the scene, look for miracles to happen. Don't let the devil trick you into thinking that your time has passed. It hasn't passed. Ask God for big things. Be bold in your faith, and believe that God is working everything together for your good. I say this all the time. But let me be clear, what I witnessed through this testing process with Ryan redefined my ideas of what was possible. The devil tried to avert what God was doing but God prevailed. He always prevails.

Are you holding onto a dream that hasn't happened yet? Have you put it on the back burner because you take the time delay as an indicator that it isn't suppose to happen? Well, today I challenge you to move your pot to the front burner. Bring your dreams before the Lord. Don't be afraid to ask for what you desire. God will sift it all anyway. His plan is perfect for us. Pray over your dreams without ceasing. I have a renewed sense of faith this morning after Ryan's ceremony. God showed us that no one made his dream come true except for God Himself. He showed us clearly. And without a doubt for the first time in many, many years, we are confident of God's direction for Ryan. I share this because I want to encourage you to keep your dream alive. Your hope alive. Your petitions before our great and mighty God. He is listening.

The Lord knows exactly your location. He knows what you are believing for, asking for, standing for. He knows your struggles. He knows when your doubts creep in. He is not lost somewhere looking for the answers to your problems. He is supreme. He is all-knowing. All-powerful. His economy is not our economy. His ways are not our ways. He moved mountains for our family. He isn't a respector of persons which means what He did for our family, He can do for your family as well. Declare the goodness of God today. Know that today you are one day closer to real change, real transformation, real provision, real direction, and real breakthrough in your life! Don't get weary in well-doing. Stay the course. Keep your eyes fixed on the Lord, and experience His mighty hand in your life.

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 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. 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" (Ephesians 6:10-13, NIV).
