Impossible? I'm possible.
God is always in the acts of blowing people's mind away. He controls everything. Little wonder He says in His Word, in 1 Corinthians 1:27, New International Version:
"But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong."
God's ways are beyond searching out. He has a way of humbling us when He decides to "Wow" us. He would always move swiftly to the things that gives Him the Glory, and our hope in Him, is never the one that put to shame.
For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength. - 1 Corinthians 1:25.
I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me? - Jeremiah 32:27
I read a story, several years ago, and it is a story that forever remains fresh in my mind. So as not to take the credit for it, i remembered it, but not in the exact words. I decided to search it out and lo! Eureka; i found it.
Here is the story
"A young man working in the army was constantly humiliated because he believed in God. One day, the captain wanted to humiliate him before the troops. He called the young man and said: – Young man come here, take the key, and go and park the Jeep in front. the young man replied: – I cannot drive! The captain said: – Well then, ask for assistance of your God! Show us that He exist!
The young man takes the key, and walked to the vehicle and begins to pray… He parks the jeep at the place PERFECTLY well as the captain wanted. The young man came out of the jeep and saw them all crying. They all said together: – We want to serve your God!.
The young soldier was astonished, and asked what was going on? The CAPTAIN, crying, opened the hood of the jeep, by showing the young man that the car had no engine. Then the boy said: See? This is the God I serve, THE GOD OF IMPOSSIBLE, the God who gives life to what does not exist.

Do you feel it is another month end, and God's faithful promises haven't come to pass? Do not lose hope. His warranty over your life cannot expire. He made you, He can fix you.
Have you lost hope? Do you feel your case is beyond redemption? Are you being mocked and depressed? Are you close to breaking point? Are you tired? Do you feel lost? Do you think your life has no meaning? Are you struggling? Are you clueless? Have you gotten to the state, where you have come to acknowledge your helplessness? Turn it over to God. You are never too far from the reach of Grace. Help is nigh. He can do it.
He has done it before, He can do it again.
Matthew 11:28-29 King James Version (KJV)
28: Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29: Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
The first step to recovery is first, the admittance of the fact that you need help and can't do it all alone.
After you have done all you can, let God do all you can't. Always remember, He made you, He can fix you.
Selah!.
Drops pen.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and with ease.
Thank you for your time.
Still me,
Olawalium; (Love's chemical content in human form). Take a dose today: doctor's order.
I am being baptized next week. And introduced formally to the church on Sunday. Today, I woke up completely ... content. I don't have any drive to do much of anything but look around and be pleased with various things I cannot recreate. Houses are built by fools like you and me; only God can build a tree.
He made me; and he is fixing me. Because he made me a slave; but freed me . And now I get to choose to be his slave again. He showed me his very own heart, and vulnerable genuine Love. I read the Gospel again last night, not realizing the date at all. I understood that everything he ever needs to say again is already written, and defends itself somehow. I understood just how proud he is of his Son. And that he loves his Son so incredibly much, that he taught him how to Love just the same. And his Son looked out into the World, at the most wretched heart of Man, of the flesh completely, like Me. And he saw no evil. And he heard their blasphemy and ... heard no evil. He spoke of them, and spoke no evil. He knew no evil, because God had made his Son as a Man, and humble. God Humbled Himself For Me. Just to teach me what humble means. God Has Served Me. Just to teach me what service means. God Has Loved Me. Just to show me how to love. And why? Because he loves his own Son; and his Son has decided for some reason that absolutely breaks my heart all the way down every single day ... some incredible forgiving love for who may just as well be Satan himself. And ... I am dust again. And he makes me again. Just because he wants his Son to be proud of his work. And he wants to see it Good.
And now I have to cry some more. And love some more. And let him take me out of my flesh. So that I don't die in it. Because ... He is my Savior.
I'm ready to be baptized, since I woke up this morning. I prayed last night, to let me die a death, and bring me back with his own breath. After finding that every knowledge, every success, every gift, every good deed ... and even thorough bible study and absolute faith with a whole heart ... well the heart lies. And the Bible is Truth.
And God is not any of these things; but Love.
Wooooow!. I am so delighted to know you already have a deep understanding of His Word already.
You are absolutely right, everything God need to say or can say, has already been written in His Word, we just need to search it out.
Congratulations on being baptized into faith, in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. It is the best decision you've made in your life. You won't regret it. Following you already.
I might be one of the hardest won among us... I had my castle, a ridiculously opulent display of skills and gifts and very, very pretty words. I've lead so many good meaning people so far astray with a simple twist of the paraphrase - And I wonder why I'm thoroughly on my way to the grave at 32? My answer is in my face. And finally, I let that castle fall, and sat on the sand, and felt how uncertain it was. And how the nagging tides encourage my senselessly deceptive feeding of what appears to be very much godly, and never was. Because I was looking to BE loved! Why would I want that, now that I can see?? Rather ...
I'm so excited. I can't wait ... Because it's something I can only just tangentially comprehend, being a man. But it's something he asked me to do. Ever seen how happy a dog gets when he does the thing his person asked, even if it's just silly? And imagine that dog's man is in fact a boy. And that boy really wants to make his dad proud.
Yeah. I'll lay down Everything for that. Every single moment of every single day, to feel that Jesus' Word cannot be unfaithful, whatever it takes. I've never felt so little pain as in accepting the pain I feel. :)
The Bible is complete. No one is far from the reach of Grace. Welcome. Turn that passion on for a good cause, for the gospel of Jesus Christ.
A big applause. Thank you for the message. I just love hearing the part God said he'd use the foolish things to disgrace the wise ones. It's the best showoff line.
Hahahaha i like that: best show off line. Thanks brother, glad you love it.
