When impossible becomes possible
Faced
with our own mountains, tasks seem to be impossible for us. There are times for
all of us when we seem to face utterly impossible situations. Times when costs
put our taskings into impossible realms; when bureaucratic requirements seem to
crowd out all possibility; moments when physically, our task seems completely
impossible.
However,
impossibility is no constraint to God. To God, in God, or with God anything and
everything is possible. What was it Jesus said, “If you have faith the size of
a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, move, and it will be thrown into
the sea.” That’s kinda hard for most people to actually grasp, so allow me to
paraphrase it a little bit. If you have the faith of, and like, a child, then
God can use you to do anything at all.
Have
you ever seen Heidi Baker’s ministry in action? She always has a child pray for
people who need a miracle. As a result, it is my own belief that her ministry
sees significantly more genuine, bona fide miracles than almost any other
ministry you can name. Why? Because children do not know that they are praying
for “a miracle” but only that ‘Jesus heals’. Children haven’t been demoralised
by seeing prayers go unanswered; by failure. Children believe that God answers
all their prayers so they pray with child-like faith. In short, a child prays
for you, and then looks at you with a big smile expecting the ‘miracle’ to have
already taken place.
When
children pray, ‘impossible’ things start to happen. The impossible becomes the
possible. God honours their simple faith and He will honour our simple faith if
we can only reduce our belief to that of child-like simplicity.
A
miracle is God making the impossible becoming possible.
