Is there anything
too HARD for the LORD?
And the LORD appeared unto him in
the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; And he
lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw
them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the
ground, Genesis 18:1-2
And the LORD said unto Abraham,
Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? Is
any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return
unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son. Genesis 18:13-14
And the LORD said, Shall I hide
from Abraham that thing which I do; Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a
great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? Genesis 18:17-18
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews
unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus
said unto them,Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. John 8:56-58
The (Old) Testament contains numerous appearances
of God in the form of a man, sitting, speaking, even eating with those that
love Him.
Abraham was sitting in front of his tent on the
plains of Mamre, when the LORD (Yehovah -- Yud Hay Vav Hay) came to him and
declared the fulfillment of a promise He had made to him many years before,
saying that through Abraham's seed the world would be blessed! (Genesis 12:7; 13:15-16,
15:18, 17:7-9)
For a long season, the Patriarch had patiently
waited for the fulfillment of this promise, but it wasn't until the LORD came
to him personally, speaking face to face, that the fulfillment of this promise
drew near.
No wonder Yeshua (Jesus) told the Jews of his day
that Abraham rejoiced to see Him! It was the day that the promise -- the long
awaited promise -- was coming to pass!
The visitation of God, the Creator of the universe,
to this Earth, in the form of a man, seems preposterous to normal human
understanding; yet we know it is true, historical, and certain because God has
revealed it to us by His Spirit and His Word.
Because of this astounding Incarnation, every
promise of the Word is absolutely reliable. Faith and patience are all that are
necessary for us to receive them.
Is there anything too hard for the LORD?
Follow the example of our Father Abraham and stand
on the WORD He has given you.
Every one of His promises will be fulfilled .......
in His time!
God reveals
Himself to mankind in the role of a Father in several contexts. The most
important is that of a spiritual Father.
Thus, Christians
experience a God who expresses all the qualities of a loving Father.
- He gives us life
(John
3:3);
- He loves us (John
3:16);
- He rewards our
efforts (Hebrews
11:6);
- He communicates
with us through His Word (John 17:17;
Ephesians
1:13; Colossians 1:5; 1 Thessalonians 2:13);
- He corrects us
lovingly (Hebrews
12:3-11); and, most important,
God will grant us
the ultimate gift, eternal life in His Kingdom through His grace if we repent
of our sins and obey His commands .
To experience God
as a personal, caring, loving Father, you have to receive Jesus Christ as your
personal Lord and Savior. You will become a child of God and begin the
fulfillment of the reason you were created by God.
Say the following
prayer:
“Father God, I confess I am a sinner and my
sins have separated me from You.
I am truly sorry. I now want to turn
away from my past sinful life and live a new life pleasing to You.
Please forgive me, and help me avoid
sinning again.
I believe that Your Son, Jesus Christ died
for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer.
I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my
life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Thank You that
according to Your Word, I am now Your child, and I am born again.
Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me
obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. I promise to study Your
Word – the Bible.
Please use me for Your glory.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.”

“Nothing Is
Impossible”
Eugene

Nothing is
Impossible in Your Life by Benny Hinn
lyrics
Nothing is impossible
when you put your trust in God;
Nothing is impossible when you're trusting in His Word.
Hearken to the voice of God to thee;
"Is there anything too hard to Me?"
Then put your trust in God alone and rest upon His Word;
For ev'rything, O, ev'rything, yes ev'rything is possible with God.
Nothing is impossible when you're trusting in His Word.
Hearken to the voice of God to thee;
"Is there anything too hard to Me?"
Then put your trust in God alone and rest upon His Word;
For ev'rything, O, ev'rything, yes ev'rything is possible with God.
