God can do the Impossible

Matt 14:13-21 “As soon as Jesus heard the news, he left in a boat to a remote area to be alone. But the crowds heard where he was headed and followed on foot from many towns. Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick. That evening the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away so they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves.” But Jesus said, “That isn’t necessary—you feed them.” “But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish!” they answered. “Bring them here,” he said. Then he told the people to sit down on the grass. Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he gave the bread to the disciples, who distributed it to the people. They all ate as much as they wanted, and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftovers. About 5,000 men were fed that day, in addition …”

He fed the multitude through the breaking process, until all of them had been served. This is the method whereby he uses. Jesus does not feed them directly, he breaks it, gives it to the disciples, and then the disciples feed the people. You have to learn how to eat God's blessing even if he brings it at somebody else's hand.

You Might Be in the Way of Your Own Miracle

What will happen if we really open the door by faith? God is greater than our thoughts. He puts it to us, “exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think” (Eph. 3:20). When we ask a lot, God says “more.” Are we ready for the “more”? And then the “much more”? We must be, or we will miss it.

1.IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A DIVINE ENCOUNTER WITH GOD, YOU NEED TO HANG OUT WHERE HE IS. Vs 1

A. Jesus was moved with compassion for the people.

What is compassion?

Compassion is an emotional response characterized by empathy, understanding, and a deep concern for the suffering or difficulties of others. It involves recognizing and connecting with another person's pain or distress and feeling a genuine desire to alleviate their suffering. Compassion often involves an active component, which might include offering emotional support, practical assistance, or taking action to help address the situation. In short, compassion is the ability to feel and demonstrate genuine care for the well-being of others. Matt 9:36 “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them because they were confused and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”

Vs 1 - . WHEN YOU RUN INTO A REAL DILEMMA, GOD COULD BE POSITIONING YOU FOR A LIFE-CHANGING ENCOUNTER WITH HIM.

A. Within the crowd, there were people who had a dilemma, and that dilemma was sickness.

Your dilemma may appear at first to be a no-win situation. No matter what direction you look in, you’re trapped. Your back is against the wall.

Your dilemma is not your destiny your destiny is to be made whole

Ps 103:2-4 “Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies.”

B. Jesus compassion moved him to bring the solution to the people that were sick for them to have an encounter with him through the power of divine healing-

BELIEVE THAT GOD IS GREATER THAN YOUR HEART. BELIEVE THAT GOD IS GREATER THAN YOUR THOUGHTS. BELIEVE THAT GOD IS GREATER THAN THE DEVIL. BELIEVE THAT HE WILL PRESERVE YOU. BELIEVE IN HIS ALMIGHTINESS. AND ON THE AUTHORITY OF GOD’S FAITH IN YOU, YOU WILL TRIUMPH UNTIL HE COMES.”

2. Faith: The disciples initially doubted Jesus' ability to feed such a large crowd with the limited resources available. However, Jesus showed them that with faith in God's power, even the seemingly impossible can be achieved.

Mark 9:23 “ Jesus said to him, 'If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.’”

A. Submission: The disciples were willing to submit themselves and their resources to Jesus in order to do the work He had asked them to do. They stepped out of their comfort

God can do the impossible

What is the define of impossible ?

Impossible is an adjective used to describe something that cannot be done, achieved, or accomplished due to its inherent nature, limitations, or constraints. It refers to a task, action, or situation that is beyond the realm of possibility or practicality, either based on current knowledge, resources, or the laws of nature. In a broader sense, "impossible" can also be used metaphorically to express an extremely difficult or unlikely scenario. It is important to note that what may be considered impossible at a certain point in time could become possible with advancements in technology, scientific knowledge, or new discoveries.

“WHEN THERE IS A STANDARD THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN REACHED IN YOUR LIFE, GOD BY HIS GRACE, BY HIS MERCY, AND BY YOUR YIELDEDNESS CAN FIT YOU FOR THAT PLACE. YOU CAN NEVER BE PREPARED FOR IT EXCEPT BY A BROKEN HEART AND A CONTRITE SPIRIT, AND BY YIELDING TO THE WILL OF GOD. BUT IF YOU WILL COME WITH A WHOLE HEART TO THE THRONE OF GRACE, GOD WILL MEET YOU AND BUILD YOU UP ON HIS SPIRITUAL PLANE.”

POWER FOR MIRACLES

Dare to believe God; He will not fail. Faith is the greatest subject; in it is power to lay hold of the Word of God. It is God who brings us into victory through the blood of the slain Lamb. Faith quickens us into a divine order, a living new source, a holy nature, having divine rights through Jesus.

Faith always brings a fact, and a fact brings joy. Faith! Faith! Making us know that God exists, “and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Heb. 11:6). “God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did” (Rom. 4:17). Those who trust God lack nothing. He gives life to the dead.

My faith pure, my joy sure.

Took : Close with poem

God can do the impossible

And make the unthinkable real

He can part the raging waters

And calm the storm with a whisper

He can heal the broken hearted

And bring back the lost and wandering

His power knows no limits

And His love is never ending

He can raise the dead to life again

And make the blind see His glory

His grace can reach the darkest soul

And make a beautiful story

So never give up hope my friend

For God can do the impossible

Trust in His unfailing love

And let Him work miracles in your life.
