Impossible

Read: Luke 18:27

Luke 18:27 KJV 1900

27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.

“The things which are impossible with men.”

That word “impossible” means things like:

Powerless

incapable

Unable to perform or complete

Without strength

Helpless

Weak

Disabled for service

Of things that cannot be done

There are a lot of things in life that look impossible and are even out of reach and our control as humanity.

But we have a God who doesn’t understand the concept of “impossibilities”

There are no sinners too far,

No mountain too high

No river to deep

No problem too big

No storm too strong

No fiery furnace too hot

That HE CANNOT HANDLE

Napoleon Bonaparte has been quoted to have said: “Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools.”

"We have a God who delights in impossibilities."

Sunday, Billy

Wesley said, “Impossibilities are o’er, if faith assent, and God ordain.”

Later he would write:

The Poetical Works of John and Charles Wesley, Volume 2 Romans 4:16, &c.

Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees,

And looks to that alone,

Laughs at impossibilities,

And cries, It shall be done.

300 Illustrations for Preachers Buck Loses Head-Butting Contest with Statue

You have likely heard the expression “butting your head against a wall.” In November 2009, authorities in Viroqua, Wisconsin, found a dead seven-point buck that apparently lost a head-butting contest with a rival buck.

The winning deer was made of concrete; it was a statue.

When we are butting our heads against impossible circumstances, the only solution we have is to remember who is in control. God has promised to work all things for our good.

Luke 18:27 KJV 1900

27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
