When God Makes the Impossible Possible

Impossible in the OT -

Genesis 18:14 - to Sarah & Abraham: when Sarah laughed… the angel said, is their anything to hard (impossible) for the Lord God

Isaiah 9:6 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

Impossible in the NT -

Luke 1:37 “… Nothing will be impossible” - The story of Mary

The OT & NT comparison

Hebrew root word used in impossible is also used in Wonderful - Impossible is in submission of God’s wonder miracles - Wonderful counselor

Greek word used in impossible is also used in defining the works of the Holy Spirit - Dunamis (Luke 4:14 - And Jesus returned in power…)

OT Transfiguration & Transformation (Exodus 34:29 & Isaiah 6:1-8 & Ezekiel 36:26-27 - a new heart)

“Why is it so hard for us to dive into His impossible breakthroughs, when we see it happen all the time?”

God re-introduced Himself to me by speaking to me audibly! Tell the story My life was impossible by human standards too—addicted, broken, hopeless. But just as God made the impossible possible for Mary, He did it for me.

He keeps taking me and my family on an IMPOSSIBLE & WONDERFUL journey, what about you and your journey with Him?

Like Mary, are we going to say to the impossible - I am the Lord’s servant, may your word to me be fulfilled

By being obedient to this vision, God has led us to start Pais and partner with CC, and others to help bring this move of God - the recent Baptism!

What "impossible" situations are you facing today? Is it a relationship, a job, or maybe your own identity? God can turn those situations around just like He did for me.

Now What? (Response):

Challenge your listeners: What if God is inviting you into a new way of seeing the impossible?

Call to action: Just like I did when I surrendered my addiction, I challenge you to hand over your "impossible" to God. Whether it’s addiction, brokenness, or a situation that seems too far gone, God can transform it.

Invitation for reflection and prayer: Let’s take a moment to ask God to show us the areas of our lives that we need to surrender to Him—the places where we need Him to do the impossible.

Closing Prayer:

Lead in a prayer of surrender, asking God to take control of the impossible situations in the congregation’s lives and declare that "Nothing is impossible with God."
