Making the impossible possible!

Luke 1:18 – 38

I have heard people teach that God never violates any rules that He has set in motion. The problem with that is it limits God. That being said there seems to be some things that God does limit his own power. I believe the key limits are; He will not force anyone to accept Him or make them love Him. He wants us to choose to believe, accept, and love Him. Regardless of how we may feel about God He loves us.

Despite His constant and unchanging love for us we sometimes doubt His love or that He really cares. God hears every hearts cry. He hears every prayer of all those who are seeking His help. Elizabeth and Mary both had impossible situations one had no husband the other had tried to have children for years and was left barren. They had at least one thing in common they both wanted to serve the Lord with all they were.

A few things about answering prayer that is very important. First, as believer’s God always answers our prayers, some times they are not the answers we want, (the answers are always what is best for us), some times they seem to be delayed (God’s timing is always perfect), and some times they place us in difficult positions (God is always working for our good).

God’s answers are always perfect. Elizabeth had wanted a child much sooner but to be the forerunner for the Messiah, John had to be born at just the right time. Mary had to have the right fiancĂ©e; a man who would not have her stoned for infidelity, a man who would protect her and her child.

What are you praying for? God will answer. He will do it in His time and His way. Our job is to trust, not get angry, or frustrated but to believe God for the answer. It doesn’t matter how impossible your life situation may be, God has the power to make the impossible, possible. Just remember He knows the right time, place and circumstances to make it all happen. Trust Him, believe in Him, and have faith.
