We may be facing a situation which seems impossible to address. We don’t see how they could work out; We don’t have the funds to accomplish our dreams, a sickness that looks like we will never get well or a situation that has gone beyond any positive outcome. Jesus says, “With men this is impossible but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26
Everything seems against you, what you are up against seems bigger and stronger but the Most High God is for you. You and God are a majority. Sometimes, God will allow you in such situations on purpose where those impossibilities seem far-fetched to overcome so He can show out His wonders in your life.
That situation is not there to stop you, it’s rather a setup for God to make you an example of His goodness. Voices will whisper, “You will never get out of this trouble. Never overcome this illness”. Refuse to accept that voice because you were created to overcome impossibilities. You have the most powerful force in the universe breathing in your direction.
God is not limited by what you don’t have, by what family you come from, by your connections, your education, or your talent. “I can’t accomplish my dream, I don’t know the right people”, that’s okay, you have friends in high places. God controls the universe. “I can’t get out of debt, everyone in my family struggles”. You are the difference maker.
God raised you to overcome impossibilities and to set a new standard. Now, get in agreement with Him. Not an underdog mentality, “Look what I’m up against, I don’t have a chance, I’m at a disadvantage”. No please, turn it around, “It may seem impossible but God, I know you being for me is more than anything trying to stop me”.
God is going to do some things in your life that seem impossible. You can’t explain it, you didn’t have the training, but you got the promotion. You are supposed to live with that sickness but you are healthier than ever. Or you came from a dysfunctional family, that should be you, but you are blessed, happy, strong and beautiful.
What happened? You overcome impossibilities, God breathed into your life, opened doors you couldn’t open, and gave you the ability, influence, and favour that catapulted you into the surprise of many.
You may be in a situation now where things seem impossible; When you look at the facts, every voice says “There is no way. You are outnumbered, it’s too late”. Don’t believe those lies, God is about to show out in your life. That difficulty is setting you up for God to do something you have never seen.
Trust Him when things seem impossible or when things happen you don’t understand. You were doing the right thing but you came to a dead end, your health problem, financial setback, a friend turned on you or the marriage crumbled! God wouldn’t have allowed it if He wasn’t going to use it for your good.
This is what David did. He was 17 years old when he heard Goliath taunting the Israelites. The other men in the army were afraid, they would run and hide. Something rose in David, a fire, a passion. He knew he was supposed to fight him.
Goliath was the champion of the Philistine army, he was their most experienced, skilled warrior, stood over 9 feet tall, had the latest armour, and had the sharpest sword. David was a shepherd, he had no training, no military experience, he was small, young, and he looked like a kid.
Even when Goliath first saw him, he laughed and said “Am I a dog that you come to me with sticks”? (1 Samuel 17:43), Even King Saul tried to talk David out of it. He said, “David, you are just a boy, you don’t have a chance or experience to fight this giant”.
Interestingly, God could have chosen someone who matched up much better with Goliath, the soldier who was the most experienced, most skilled, most trained, biggest, and strongest, that would have been a much fairer fight, two champions competing.
Notice how God works; David had no chance and it didn’t make sense… If David had only looked at it from a logical point of view, we wouldn’t be talking about it. David understood that he was created to overcome the impossible.
It’s not a coincidence that there is a giant between you and your destiny. Yeah, it’s easy to shrink back, “Can’t fight this giant, pastor, I can’t find the right person. I will never break this addiction. All I have is a slingshot and a few stones”, that’s all you need. Your slingshot with the favour of God will bring down the Goliath in your life.
The scripture says, “David ran quickly toward Goliath”. All the other men ran quickly away from Goliath. Look at how David overcome the impossible. The whole time Goliath was laughing, David slung that rock and the laughter stopped. Goliath tumbled to the ground. David, a shepherd boy, defeated this Philistine giant. (1 Samuel 17:48-51)
Are there giants in your life waiting to be defeated? You are thinking about how big it is and “Pastor, I don’t have the experience. They said this sickness is permanent”. Have a new perspective; God allowed that so He can cause you to overcome the impossible.
Don’t be intimidated, thinking you are lacking, you don’t have the experience or the situation has become impossible to address. Have a new perspective. You have everything you need. When you make a move, God will breathe on what you have. You will discover ability, favour, and healing that will cause you to overcome the impossible.
In the scripture, Lazarus had become very sick. His sisters were close friends with Jesus, and they were in another city, and they sent word asking Jesus to come and pray for Lazarus. Well, Jesus heard their request, but He waited two days and Lazarus died. (John 11:1-44)
When He arrived, Lazarus was already in the tomb, wrapped up in burial clothes. Jesus said to His disciples “This sickness is not going to end in death. It is so the Son of God will be glorified”. (John 11:4), Jesus knew He was going to heal Lazarus, but He waited on purpose.
He could have travelled the next day and touched him while he was alive and made him well. But this delay wasn’t random. Jesus was saying in effect, “I’m going to allow the situation to seem impossible to resolve so I can show my power in ways you have never seen”.
Same thing with David; He chose a giant for him to face. It is because God loves to address things that seem impossible. Jesus spoke to Lazarus, he came back to life out of that tomb. From then on, everywhere Lazarus went he was a testimony of God’s favour.
See, it’s one thing to have a healing but God wanted something better, a resurrection. And sometimes God will let the situation seem impossible to overcome but God is up to something. Trust Him when you don’t understand, and stay in faith when He doesn’t show up in time. He has something coming better than you have imagined.
Can I remind you? God is for you. His power is greater than anything trying to stop you. Beloved, you were created to overcome the impossible. That giant is in your path on purpose, so God can display His power through you and do something you have never seen in your life or your family before.
Don’t be intimidated, “Why me? This is impossible”. You and God are a majority. He has not brought you this far to leave you. It may feel like you are outnumbered, but if you could see into the unseen realm, you would realize the enemy is outnumbered.
There are more for you than there are against you. Now, stand still and you will see the salvation of the Lord. If you will do this, I decree and declare; like David, you will overcome the impossible in your life and defeat every giant in Jesus’ name.
The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”’!
