How many times have you heard or spoken those infamous words “ That is impossible”? I my self have used them to many times. But Jesus was a possibility thinker. He said with God ALL things are possible. So why do we think the way we think? Simple, we try to humanly rationalize everything to fit our own known abilities. We need to quit thinking like a human and think with the Word of God.
What limits us is us. God has given unto us, through His Son, the ability to think like Him. Jesus said (Mat 17:20 kjv) I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. If we only accomplish what we believe we will not accomplish very much. If we could hold to the facts of Gods word, link it with the faith that He has given to us, the works that we do would be even greater than the works Christ did while walking here on earth (John 14:12). The beginning of Mat.17:20 has the clue and I left it out until now. What you believe sets the limits of your abilities
Most Christians, myself included, allow a big thing called fear to limit their belief level. We are intimidated by our enemy, the Devil, by points of doubt and unbelief. Most of them are valid points to an ordinary human being. But what does that have to do with us. We are not ordinary, common human beings. (2Co 5:17nlt) This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun! Look at that! You belong to who? Christ! All things become what? New! You are a new person, not wrapped up in old fears and intimidation's, but a new creation with the mind of Christ. Php 2:5(kjv) Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: (nlt) You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Attitude, you need an attitude! Not a Mr. or Mrs. Cool know it all attitude. But an attitude of confidence like Jesus had in who He was and in who's He was. He was Gods Son. Show me somewhere in Gods word where Jesus was intimidated. Aren't you a child of God (Rom 8:16)? There was no arrogance in Jesus . He simply Knew who He was and He had an extremely close relationship with His Father. So what is our excuse? Lazy, indifferent, scared, didn't know, I could go on and on and on. But excuses bring us back to the start. Our saying it is impossible. Nothing is impossible to a believer. We simply need to believe.
Work out your unbelief by exercising your faith. (Ecc 11:4 kjv) He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. Don't be afraid to step out of the boat. Only one man asked Jesus if he could come to Him on the water, Peter. Peter might have had a big mouth and said a lot of the wrong things at the wrong time, but he did take a few steps on that stormy sea before fear did grab him and he sank. Yes he cried out to Jesus and Jesus had to rescue him but at least he tried. Is it time for you to step out of your comfortable boat? Jesus will still rescue you if you fail. But if you never step out what will you be missing? Go ahead sit, watch, observe, wait. God is always there to rescue you and He will wait.
