“For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment.” Luke 1:37 AMP

The key is WITH GOD! Don’t ever do anything without God because that is when we run into the wall of impossibility. Walking with God and doing only what He tells us to do will permit us to do things that are impossible with man. Jesus did these type of things during His ministry on the earth and we can do them because He said that the things that He did we should and would do.

He wants us to walk in the realm of the supernatural. He has empowered us with His Spirit to walk in His power to do His will! We can declare as Mary did – let it be with me Lord, according to Your Word!

Get up from your seemingly impossible situation and begin to do what God has told you to do and He will turn the impossibilities into possibilities! He will make a way where it doesn’t seem like there is one. He is on your side and if He is for you, who can stop you?

“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. – Matthew 7:24-25 NKJV

You can determine today to never ever be destroyed by a storm again. The Lord has given us a way to live a storm proof life. He has given us the responsibility to protect our lives from destruction. Many times we pray for Him to protect us from calamity but we need to understand that walking in His Word is so powerful. By conducting our lives according to His Word and becoming a “doer” of the Word of God we will stand strong against any and every storm…and continue standing after the storm passes!

Declare yourself as a DOER of the Word today (and everyday from now on!). Commit to do everything that you see in His Word, immediately. He has given us a rock to build our houses upon.

No matter how many storms you have been through and how many times your house has fallen from storm damage, you can begin today to build a fortress on the ROCK by doing the sayings of Jesus. Make His Word first place in your life and others will see your “storm proof life” and begin to ask “how can I do what you have done?”

It’s all about doing the sayings of Jesus!

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” – Phillippians 4:13

Following God requires that you walk in His strength. His strength in us is His ability flowing through us by His Spirit.

There is nothing that you can not do that God is leading you to do.

For example, from His Word we can see that it is His will for us to love our spouse and our family. This can not be done through our own strength, it requires the power of God working in us. He does not expect us to fulfill His supernatural will with our natural means. Through God we can do all things.

You may feel like you can not do what you know that you should and what you know that God is asking you to do, but remember:

1. God is just and can not ask you to do something that you can not do
2. He wants you to rely on Him and His strength to do all that you must do

Don’t say that you can’t because through Him and with His strength, you can! Rise up in the power of His might and show all those around you that you can do it! Declare I CAN DO ALL THINGS through HIM!

Do not fear, nor be afraid; Have I not told you from that time, and declared it? You are My witnesses. Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there is no other Rock; I know not one.’ ” – Isaiah 44:8 NKJV

Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. – John 14:27 NKJV

Do you accept fear as just something that is natural and something that helps us recognize danger? (This is what is being taught to the Body of Christ in these days…and it is absolutely from the enemy!) Fear is not now (and has never been) from God to help us in any way. It is a spirit that attempts to steal, kill and destroy! 2 Timothy says that God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love and sound mind!

You have the choice to reject fear! The Spirit of God in us is more powerful than any fear that is coming against us and as we resist the devil he MUST flee.

We have authority according to Matthew 18 and we can bind thoughts of fear and command them to leave in Jesus Name. We choose to take the Word of God (which is our sword of the Spirit) and run off every thought of fear that the enemy throws our way. We choose to dwell on the Word of God and think on the things that are in line with the Word and the peace of God begins to guard our heart and mind in Christ Jesus. It develops a shield over us that fear cannot penetrate. Say out loud with your mouth, “No fear here!”

And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. – Acts 2:42 (KJV)

We all have the opportunity everyday to quit, run and hide. BUT we must continue steadfastly!

Continue in: 1) The Word – Read, study and meditate the Word of God as much as you can daily. 2) Fellowship – Get involved in a local church where iron sharpens iron and your church family can exhort you. 3) Breaking of bread – Receive communion – the Lord’s Supper – regularly, at home and at church. 4) Pray – without ceasing and before you do anything. Give yourself to prayer, listen to the voice of God.

It is our job to continue. To continue steadfastly means to make a choice to do what you know to do. God can only give you the strength to do what you have determined in your heart to do and then begin to move toward it. Don’t sit down in the mully grubs and whine and complain, get up, dust yourself off and get moving! Re-focus, re-fuel and get moving towards all that God has for you! Jer. 29:11 You can do more than you ever thought you could do but you must CONTINUE!

And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; – Luke 18:1 (KJV)

When we reach out in faith and begin believing God for something that He has promised us the number one thing that the enemy wants us to do is to give up, give in, faint and quit. He knows that if we stay in faith and operate patience that we will receive the promise of God everytime! (Heb 10:36)

We must continue to thank God each time that we think about what we have prayed and believed that we receive. (Mark 11:24) The “you shall have them” time will take “some time”…it could be a day or it could be a year. The time part is not in your control and should not affect your “standing in faith”.

The way not to faint is to “keep the switch of faith ON” like Abraham.

And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara’s womb: not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. – Romans 4:19-21 (KJV)

Giving glory to God is the same as thanking God for the answer before you see things change in the natural realm. The highest kind of prayer is worshipping God for who He is in your life and every situation in your life! If you are feeling faint, don’t sit down or lay down stand up throw your head back and praise God with every bit of strength that you have left. God will begin to strengthen you with His might and you will be made strong in faith!

But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, then; you are of more value than many sparrows. – Matthew 10:30-31 AMP

All of us face thoughts of insignificance. Big God, big world, little us… BUT the Word of God tells us in many places that God values us more than we can possibly imagine. He is our greatest fan! He created us and believes in us even when we don’t believe in ourselves. God doesn’t create junk!

The Heavenly Father bought you back from death, sin and the grave with the precious blood of Jesus which is the most valuable thing in the universe! The price He paid for you was the value of the life of Jesus! You are worth it.

God knew what He was getting when He did what He did for us. He knows better than anyone else the value of life…and more specifically, your life. He has a plan for you that is absolutely mind blowing (above anything and everything that you could imagine)…you need to know and believe that He values you and loves you with every bit of love that He has. And the great thing is that when we know how much that He values us and loves us…fear leaves. Fear can not stay in the heart of someone that knows that they are loved and valuable to the Father.

Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and it was restored as whole as the other. – Matthew 12:13 NKJV

Jesus healed the man with the withered hand but first asked the man to do something in faith. At Jesus command he stretched out his hand. I can imagine that the man did not want to even show his hand. Most people with a withered hand want to cover it up and hide it out of embarrassment. But Jesus asked this man to do what he could do and with that action Jesus did what only He could do. His power totally restored the man’s hand.

In this new year of 2010 God wants us to begin to do things that we have never done before! But we have to stretch and reach out. We have to take a step of faith and do what we know that we should do. Even though what you must do might be something that you do not want to do and might be embarrassing to you, the power of God will meet you and cause you to succeed!

Ask the Lord what He would have you to do this year. Do something that you have never done before. STRETCH! Lose that 30 pounds that you have been needing to lose, pay off all the credit cards, establish a time of daily prayer and study of God’s Word, love your family like never before. Do it! Just stretch and God will meet you and His power will cause you to succeed.

Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, – Philippians 3:13 NKJV

There is one thing required to go forward…leave the past in the past.

Yesterday’s manna stinks. We must move toward all that God has for us today. Living for the moment is what we as Christians need to have as our goal. (in the sense that we are ever sensitive to do exactly what the Lord wants us to do at every moment!) Tomorrow is not here yet and yesterday is gone forever.

Let’s determine to go into 2010 with everything from 2009 left in the past. (except for the lessons that we learned, of course)

God has great things for us just ahead. He wants us to keep moving and keep pressing on. We have a bright future full of faith adventures and faith victories! BUT, we must quit looking behind us, quit pointing to our past failures AND successes! Don’t allow the devil to point out your past to you, be bold and point out his future to him and he will back off quick!

2010 is your year of victory! Determine to shut the door on the past and walk through the new door just ahead. Move into 2010 with God! Pray IN 2010 and experience all that God has for you this next year!
