TGN: Nothing is Impossible With God

**************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Daily Prayer: Thank You LORD for the bread from heaven today. I am ready to receive my portion for the day and learn how to follow Your instruction. Thank You for the strength and the nourishment to face what comes my way, day by day. You are such a special God, all in my business and I love it. Creator of my business; hallelujah. In honor of my LORD and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen (Exodus 16).

Mark 6:35-44 (NLT)

Jesus Feeds over 5000

35 Late in the afternoon his disciples came to him and said, "This is a remote place, and it's already getting late. 36 Send the crowds away so they can go to the nearby farms and villages and buy something to eat."

37 But Jesus said, "You feed them."

"With what?" they asked. "We'd have to work for months to earn enough money to buy food for all these people!"

38 "How much bread do you have?" he asked. "Go and find out."

They came back and reported, "We have five loaves of bread and two fish."

39 Then Jesus told the disciples to have the people sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups of fifty or a hundred.

41 Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he kept giving the bread to the disciples so they could distribute it to the people. He also divided the fish for everyone to share. 42 They all ate as much as they wanted, 43 and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftover bread and fish. 44 A total of 5,000 men and their families were fed from those loaves!

In chapter 6 different people have examined Jesus' life and ministry: His neighbors and family, Herod the king, and the disciples. Yet none of these appreciated Jesus for who He truly was. The disciples were still pondering, still confused, still unbelieving- and they spent the most time with Jesus. They did not realize that Jesus could provide for them in all ways. They were so preoccupied with the immensity of the task that they could not see what was possible with God. Do you let what seems impossible about Christianity keep you from believing?

When Jesus asked the disciples to provide food for over 5,000 people, they were amazed and said it would take a small fortune to feed such a crowd. How do you react when you are given an impossible task? A situation that seems impossible with human resources is simply an opportunity for God. The disciples did everything they could by gathering the available food and organizing the people into groups. Then, in answer to prayer, God did the impossible. When facing a seemingly impossible task, do what you can and ask God to do the rest. He may see fit to make the impossible happen.

What are your motives? What are you believing in? Is it just for you? Is it for others and God's Kingdom? Does it come from the heart of God; from His Will?

We hear this all the time "Nothing is Impossible with or for God" or "All things are possible with/for God" But do we truly believe it? Some of us probably don't even believe this event of feeding over 5,000 with the limited supplies available. Is this you?

Well, how can God do the impossible for you if you don't believe it. Clear your mind and your heart and build that faith. Let God move in you and your life. On the victory of a friend's personal testimony just today, I know You will be amazed! God is awesome!

Good Day!

Prayer: Heavenly Father, You ARE everything that I need. You are my Strength, my Wisdom, my Protection; You ARE my Provider, my way Maker, my Problem Solver, my Dream Giver, my Healer. You ARE my VICTORY! Thank You so much for Your pure existence in my life. I don't want to know a life without You. I am a friend of God. It's amazing! I have nothing to fear, worry or be anxious about, because absolutely nothing is impossible for and with You. In Jesus' Name, amen.

  1. Without faith it is impossible to please God so imagine everytime you believe God for something you are pleasing him and as your intimacy grows with the Lord he will increase your faith and before you know it you are able to believe God for the impossible. God specializes in impossibilities. Let's continue to BELIEVE God for EVERYTHING. I am a living witness of how faith exercised results in overwhelming results. God just blessed with a home and on paper I am not the perfect candidate and he will continue to provide for my future. God's plan for our lives is FLAWLESS.
