All Things Are Possible With God?.
Is it really true that ALL things are possible
with God?
While God can do
anything He wishes to do, God will not do things that would be against His holy
will or contradictory to His purposes.
He can commit no
sinful act, for example, for He is completely holy, and sinning is not in His
character.
Some will still ask,
should not anything be possible for an
omnipotent deity? An example may help: “Can God make a stone so heavy He
cannot lift it?”
This question
contains a paradox: if the Lord is so powerful He can make a stone of infinite
weight, how would it not be
possible, given His mighty power, for Him to lift it?
Yet, since the stone
is of infinite weight, how would it be
possible for Him to lift it? The answer is that God will not deny Himself,
which is the case here.
It seems He would not
even consider such an idea, for He would be pitting Himself against Himself, a
foolish act having no value in His kingdom purposes.
It is worth noting
that we see throughout the Bible that God is omnipotent—all-powerful—not
equaled or surpassed by anyone or anything.
In discussing God’s making a dry path in the mighty Jordan
River to allow the safe passage of His people, Joshua 4:24 says, “He did this so
that all the peoples of the earth might know that the hand of the LORD is
powerful and so that you might always fear the LORD your God.”
Similarly, Jeremiah 32:26-27 relates, “Then the word of
the Lord came to Jeremiah: ‘I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything
too hard for me?’”
Continuing, in Hebrews 1:3, we see, “The Son is the
radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining
all things by His powerful word.”
These verses and
others show that all things within God’s will are possible for Him.
The angel in Luke 1:36-37 said to Mary, “Even Elizabeth
your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to
be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God.”
Some ask that, if "nothing is impossible with God," does that mean I can run faster than a car
or leap a tall building in a single bound?
It is perfectly within
God's power to make those things possible, but there is nothing in Scripture
that indicates it is God's desire to make them possible.
Something being
possible for God does not obligate Him to actually do it.
We must be thoroughly
familiar with Scripture so that we can know what God's desire is, and what He
has promised, and thereby know what God will make possible in our lives.
When we consider all of
our heavenly Father’s mighty supernatural works throughout the Bible, we see
that He indeed is capable of moving human events along the continuum of time,
in spite of things seemingly impossible, all for His glorious purposes.
Would you want to have a deeper relationship with
God?
God has made it possible for you to know Him
and experience an amazing change in your own life by receiving His Son,
Jesus Christ, and have eternal life.
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. I receive Your free gift
of salvation.
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 born again, has
eternal life, and I am now Your child.
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.”
If you have just put your trust in Jesus Christ,
you have been born into God’s family.
As a spiritual baby, you need to grow by feeding on God’s Word –
the Bible (1 Peter 2:2).
You must have a good modern translation Bible
and begin prayerfully reading it. Start in the New Testament, such as the
Gospel of John or Paul’s letters to the Ephesians.
Also, you need to join a Christian fellowship
where the Bible is taught and where God is truly worshiped.
God bless you as you begin your new life with
Him!

lyrics
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
put your trust in God;
Nothing is impossible when you're trusting in His Word.
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.
