With God Nothing Will be Impossible

Only You can do , what no man can do Jehohan

Exodus 3:4–20 NKJV

4 So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” 5 Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.” 6 Moreover He said, “I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God. 7 And the Lord said: “I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows. 8 So I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and large land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites. 9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. 10 Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.” 11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” 12 So He said, “I will certainly be with you. And this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.” 13 Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” 14 And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ” 15 Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.’ 16 Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, “I have surely visited you and seen what is done to you in Egypt; 17 and I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.” ’ 18 Then they will heed your voice; and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt; and you shall say to him, ‘The Lord God of the Hebrews has met with us; and now, please, let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.’ 19 But I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not even by a mighty hand. 20 So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in its midst; and after that he will let you go.

Exodus 4:1–10 NKJV

1 Then Moses answered and said, “But suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice; suppose they say, ‘The Lord has not appeared to you.’ ” 2 So the Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.” 3 And He said, “Cast it on the ground.” So he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it. 4 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail” (and he reached out his hand and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand), 5 “that they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.” 6 Furthermore the Lord said to him, “Now put your hand in your bosom.” And he put his hand in his bosom, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, like snow. 7 And He said, “Put your hand in your bosom again.” So he put his hand in his bosom again, and drew it out of his bosom, and behold, it was restored like his other flesh. 8 “Then it will be, if they do not believe you, nor heed the message of the first sign, that they may believe the message of the latter sign. 9 And it shall be, if they do not believe even these two signs, or listen to your voice, that you shall take water from the river and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take from the river will become blood on the dry land.” 10 Then Moses said to the Lord, “O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.”

Certainly! Here's a sermon based on Luke 1:37, with references to other scriptures to deepen the message:

Sermon: "For Nothing Will Be Impossible With God"

Scripture Reading: Luke 1:37 "For nothing will be impossible with God."

Introduction: We find ourselves in the midst of a wonderful and awe-inspiring story in the Gospel of Luke. In this chapter, the angel Gabriel visits Mary with an incredible message: she is to conceive and bear a son, who will be called Jesus. She is initially perplexed, questioning how this could happen since she is a virgin. Gabriel responds with the reassurance that "nothing will be impossible with God." This verse is a powerful reminder of the limitless nature of God’s power.

In a world full of challenges, doubts, and obstacles, it’s easy to forget the magnitude of what God can do. But when we meditate on this verse, we are reminded of the boundless potential that God’s power can bring to our lives. Let's unpack what it means for us today, using other scriptures to highlight this divine truth.

1. The Promise of God's Unlimited Power

Luke 1:37 boldly states, "For nothing will be impossible with God." The angel spoke this directly to Mary, assuring her that though her situation seemed impossible by human standards, God’s power transcends human limitations.

Example from Scripture:

Genesis 18:14 – When God promised Abraham and Sarah they would have a child in their old age, Sarah laughed because it seemed impossible. But the Lord asked, "Is anything too hard for the Lord?" God fulfilled His promise, showing that His plans are not bound by natural limitations.

"Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son." (Genesis 18:14, NIV)

This question echoes through the ages as a reminder that no matter how impossible something may seem, God’s ability is limitless.

2. Faith in God's Power Transforms Lives

Mary’s response to Gabriel is a perfect model of faith. She didn’t fully understand how it would happen, but she trusted that God could do the impossible. She said, "I am the Lord's servant. May your word to me be fulfilled." (Luke 1:38)

Example from Scripture:

Matthew 17:20 – Jesus told His disciples that faith, even as small as a mustard seed, can move mountains.

"He replied, 'Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.'" (Matthew 17:20, NIV)

When we place our trust in God’s ability to do the impossible, our faith can unlock miracles in our lives, just as it did for Mary and countless others in the Bible.

3. God's Power Works in Our Weaknesses

It’s important to note that God often chooses to work through the weak and the humble, not through those who seem most capable in the eyes of the world. Mary, a young and seemingly insignificant girl, was chosen to bear the Son of God. God often delights in showing His power through what seems weak and impossible.

Example from Scripture:

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 – Paul writes about how God's grace is sufficient, and His power is made perfect in weakness.

"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong." (2 Corinthians 12:9-10, ESV)

God doesn't need our strength or our wisdom. He desires our humility, and in our weakness, He demonstrates His power.

4. Encouragement for the Impossible Situations in Our Lives

What about you today? Do you feel like you’re facing an impossible situation? Perhaps you're struggling with a health issue, financial difficulty, relational conflict, or a dream that feels out of reach. The truth of Luke 1:37 applies to you just as it did to Mary.

Example from Scripture:

Mark 9:23 – Jesus said to a father seeking healing for his son, "Everything is possible for one who believes."

"‘If you can’?” said Jesus. ‘Everything is possible for one who believes.’" (Mark 9:23, NIV)

God’s power is available to us when we trust in Him. No matter how impossible our situation might seem, we are invited to place our trust in God’s ability to change things.

5. God’s Impossibilities Lead to His Glory

When we witness the impossible happening, we are reminded of God’s glory. The birth of Jesus was an act that no human could have orchestrated. It was a divine miracle that pointed directly to God’s glory. When we see God work in the impossible areas of our lives, we, too, can give Him the glory He deserves.

Example from Scripture:

Ephesians 3:20-21 – Paul writes that God is able to do exceedingly more than we could ask or imagine.

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen." (Ephesians 3:20-21, NIV)

When God works in our lives, it points to His greatness. We don’t just witness the impossible; we experience a testimony of His glory and power.

Conclusion:

Luke 1:37 assures us that nothing is impossible with God. In every aspect of our lives, whether we’re facing a personal challenge, pursuing a dream, or witnessing God's work in the world, we are reminded that God’s power is greater than any obstacle we may face. Like Mary, we can respond in faith, trusting that God's plans are far beyond what we can imagine.

Let’s hold firm to the truth that nothing will be impossible with God. In our weaknesses, in our doubts, and in our fears, God’s power is made perfect. Let us, like Mary, say, "Let it be to me according to your word," and trust that God can and will do the impossible.

Scriptures -

Certainly! Here are some other scriptures that echo the theme of God’s limitless power and the idea that nothing is impossible with Him, similar to Luke 1:37:

1. Matthew 19:26

"But Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'"

Explanation: This verse emphasizes the difference between human limitations and divine power. Jesus speaks this after His disciples are astonished at His teachings about the difficulty for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. While it may seem impossible for humans to achieve salvation on their own, with God, all things—no matter how difficult—are possible.

2. Genesis 18:14

"Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time next year, and Sarah will have a son."

Explanation: This is the moment when God promises Abraham and Sarah that they will have a child despite their old age. When Sarah laughs in disbelief, God asks, "Is anything too hard for the Lord?" It’s a rhetorical question emphasizing that no situation is beyond God's power.

3. Jeremiah 32:27

"Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?"

Explanation: This is another reminder of God’s omnipotence. In this passage, God speaks to the prophet Jeremiah, reinforcing that He is the Creator of everything and that nothing is impossible for Him to accomplish. It’s a declaration of God’s sovereignty and His ability to act in every situation.

4. Mark 10:27

"Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.'"

Explanation: This is a similar verse to Matthew 19:26. Jesus assures His disciples that while human efforts cannot achieve the impossible, God is able to do all things. It encourages faith in God's power to overcome what we think is beyond reach.

5. Luke 18:27

"But he said, 'What is impossible with man is possible with God.'"

Explanation: This verse follows a discussion about the difficulty for the rich to enter the kingdom of God. Jesus points out that while human efforts alone cannot save, God’s grace makes the impossible possible.

6. Romans 4:17

"As it is written, 'I have made you the father of many nations'—in the presence of the God in whom he believed, who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist."

Explanation: This is part of Paul’s explanation of Abraham’s faith in God. It reflects the fact that God can call things into being that are impossible by human standards. God gave Abraham and Sarah a child when it seemed impossible due to their age, demonstrating His power to do the impossible.

7. Ephesians 3:20

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us..."

Explanation: This verse speaks of God’s ability to do far more than we can ask or even imagine. It highlights the boundless nature of God’s power, reinforcing the idea that He is not limited by human understanding or capability.

8. Isaiah 55:8-9

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."

Explanation: This passage reminds us that God's ways and thoughts transcend human understanding. What may seem impossible or illogical to us is entirely within the scope of God's plan and power. This verse reinforces the idea that God’s ways are not limited by human reason or expectation.

9. Hebrews 11:11

"By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised."

Explanation: This scripture refers to the faith of Sarah, who, despite her old age, trusted that God could fulfill His promise. It reflects the concept that faith in God’s ability to do the impossible leads to miraculous outcomes.

10. Psalm 62:11

"Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God."

Explanation: A powerful reminder that all power belongs to God. There is no greater power than that which is found in the Creator, reinforcing that nothing is beyond His reach or ability.
