Matthew 9:1-8. Jesus told the man to do what he could not; He obeyed, dared to do the impossible and received his miracle! We ought to be like him – after hearing God speak to us in our situation, dare to do the impossible!
Donât put off for tomorrow what you can do today!
John Osteen, the Father of Joel Osteen, commanded the blind to see, deaf to hear and cripples to walk and they got their miracle! Why? – Like the paralytic who got healed, they dared to do the impossible – âIt always seems impossible until itâs done.â
Luke 5:5. Jesus commanded Peter to let down his nets for a catch, he hesitated at first because he had caught nothing then he changed his mind: âNevertheless at thy Word I will let down the net.ââ He got results when dared to do the impossible.
People may have told you that you wonât get well. Doctors may have given up on you. And you may have given up on yourself in other areas too â saying: âMaybe Iâm destined to remain single I will have to get used to itâŚIâve been brought up in a poor family let me content to stay the way I am.â
You have the power to change these facts with the truth of Godâs Word when you dare to do the impossible âNevertheless at Thy Word I Will Act?â – Believing Godâs Word is acting on it – James 2:20â âFaith without works—is dead.â
– Your choice determines your destiny
Saying you believe and not acting like you do is dead faith – Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible. Faith brings God in the picture.
Act As If It Was Impossible to Fail – Be a History Maker and a World Shaker
Let us do an exercise:
Substitute the word âbelieveâ with âact.â
âAnd these signs shall follow them that ACT [believe] on my word.â Mark 16:17
âHe that ACTS [believes] on my word, the works I do shall he do andâŚâ John 14:12
âNow faith is!ââŚâNow is the appointed time the time of Godâs favor!â Hebrews 11:1, 2 Corinthians 6:2
Faith is to be acted in the present. Acting on the Word brings it to pass now! Hoping keeps your blessings in the future.
Noah believed Hebrews 11.
How do we know?
He built the ark acting as though God told him the truth about the flood and safety.
The Paralytic believed.
How do we know?
Jesus said, âArise!â – He acted like he could and found he was healed!
Has God spoken to you? â Find His word in your situation, act like it is true and receive your miracle.
There is a story told of an old lady in Texas badly afflicted with arthritis, could hardly walk. The preacher commanded the demon of arthritis to leave her and it did. But she seemed no better. She still hobbled – Three days later she came for prayers, the preacher told her to go back as she was healed. A little later people saw her running around. Why? – Because she dared to do the impossible. She acted on Godâs Word and God kept His Word.
Many have lived for years with fears. The devil may have told that you cannot live a normal life, you will continue to be sick, you cannot get married; you cannot have children; you will always be poorâ do not believe his lies, rebuke him! Act on what God spoke to you personally dare to do the impossible! âGod always watches over His word to perform it.â Jeremiah 1:12
Impossible only means that you havenât found the solution yet.
Another story – A dog had the habit of chasing cars. His master decided to chain him to the tree. Every time a car sped along he leaped but was limited by the collar and the chain. Finally, he gave up. When his master found he had improved he unbuckled the collar of the chain so he could easily move out of it. He was surprised to find that even though cars sped along his dog was unable to run after them because he still felt the collar and did not realize his master had loosened it.
Jesus came all the way to destroy the works of the devil and set the oppressed free. 1 John 3:8; Acts 10:38. He loosed everyoneâs collar. Act like you are free do the impossible.
âYou shall know the truth and the truth shall set you freeâ
A young boy of fifteen afflicted with club feet from birth, walked painfully on the side of his ankles for years. He heard the gospel preached about the Master coming to set the captives free. He believed, acted out his faith, dared to do the impossible. His feet went flat on the ground; he discovered Jesus had set him free!
Believe and act as if it were impossible to fail!
