Is there Anything Too Hard for GOD???

IsAnythingToHardForGod

Is there anything too hard for God? This is something I have been thinking about all day today and the fact of the matter is, of course not.  Sometimes we allow our problems, unwanted situations or circumstances to be as big as we are, which in our eyes is pretty big.  But truth is God, who created Heaven and Earth is so big that we can’t even imagine and what may seem to be a big issue in our eyes, is not an issue at all to God.  Why you might ask? Because He holds the whole world in His hands.  He created the Universe, the stars, the sky, the trees, the ocean.  He created you.  He created everything.  He already knows what is going to happen before it ever transpires and He knows how you are going to handle it.

So if we know that nothing is too hard for God, why are we letting the issues and weight of the world hold us down?  It is imperative that we get to that place in life where no matter what is happening around us, we have a firm belief in the capability, strength, certainty, reliability, truth, and consistency of God and God alone.   The capability of God supercedes that of any other because He has all power in His hands.  His strength is far greater than we could ever imagine possible.  The certainty of God is based on His word, we must study the word so we can know the word for ourselves and in turn take Him at His word so we can be certain that He will do what His word says.  God is the definition of what reliable means.  We can always rely on Him when no one else is around.  He is the way, the truth and the light and He consistently shows us grace and mercy each and every day even though we don’t deserve it.

With God, your troubles and dilemmas are never what they appear to be, but if we try to work it out and handle it the way we want to, it just may be exactly what it appears.  Set yourself to the side for a minute, or as my friend would say, stop trying to grow a brain J.  Just trust God.  I think it’s safe to say that for the most part, we trust people that we know.  Could this be why it’s so hard for you to trust God, because you don’t really know Him?  I encourage you right now to build a relationship with the architect of your life.  Get to know Him.  Spend time with Him.  Then while you are going through the ups and downs of life, you will have the innate ability to see things totally different and look to your creator first above all things and trust He’s already working it out for your good and for His glory. #iDeclare #thereisnothingtoohardforGod

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I thank you for the opportunity to come boldly before your throne.  Thank you for your grace and your mercy that is new each and every day.  I decree and declare right now I believe with all my heart that there is nothing too hard for you.  I trust you will all things, good or bad and no matter what season of life I may be in, I will seek you first and put my trust in you.  In Jesus name, Amen.

 

Scripture:

Jeremiah 32:17 NLT ““O Sovereign LORD! You made the heavens and earth by your strong hand and powerful arm. Nothing is too hard for you!”

Jeremiah 32:27KJV “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?”

 

Stop Trying to Do it on Your Own

Even the strongest people get tired at times, but God’s love for us, His power and His strength never diminish.  He is never too preoccupied or too busy to help and listen.  Remember, the word says that when we are weak that is when He is made strong. So in turn, His strength is the source of our strength. It is imperative however, that we look to the root of the problem.  A lot of times when we are going through, the tasks and responsibility that we are carrying can become overwhelming because we are trying to do it alone.   God never intended for it to be this way.  He didn’t bless us with a family or job or simply life in general for us to think that we had to bear the load all by ourselves.  He is here to help.  God knows you have bills that need to be paid, He knows your children need to eat every day.  We have to pray and talk to God being completely open and honest.  Doing so opens up the opportunity for Him to come in and provide the help that we need.  He already knows our mind-set but we must recognize it then ask that He take those feelings away and replace them with peace and assurance.

I have to point out one additional point, even though God never intended for us to have to carry the weight of life on our own we have to discern how important decisions are.  A decision is defined as a conclusion or resolution reached after consideration.  Decisions in life have a direct impact on life.  If you spend your rent money on a new outfit, then you can’t turn around pray and ask God to bless you with a roof over your head.  He already did that, you just messed up with what He gave you and did what you wanted to do.  I said all of that to say this, yes God is here to help us we just have to be responsible and be good stewards over what we have.

Don’t get it twisted my friends, God is our source.  Just because you get a paycheck from your job every month, does not make them your source.  Our Heavenly Father promises to lead us, never leave us and He will never, ever come short of His word.  If you feel as though everything is going wrong and you can’t make it any further, look to THE source and trust that He’s already working things out for your good.  You are not alone, so stop trying to do everything on your own.  #iDeclare  #stoptryingtodoitonyourown

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come asking that you please forgive me for trying to do everything on my own.  I decree and declare right now that You are my source and I will never ever depend on anything in this world to provide all my needs.  I will be a good steward over everything that you bless me with.  Thank you for reminding me that I do not have to live this life alone, no matter who is or isn’t around me.  In Jesus name, Amen. 

 Psalm23 Yeshua

Scripture:

Psalms 23 NLT “The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.  He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk
through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me
in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord
forever.”

Will You Invite Him In?

God is always trying to work in us, in our families, in our situations and in our circumstances. He is Immanuel, God with us.  He is Jehovah Shammah, ever-present. He calls himself I AM, not I was or I will be, which means He is present right now ready to work in our lives.  Now that I have enlightened you with this great piece of information, do you think this will this change anything in your present life?  If not, it should.  It should give you a better perspective of just who God is.  As our relationship with God grows, it is easier to understand the many facets of who He is.  Before the relationship can grow, it must first be established.  God is such a gentleman. He will not force Himself into our lives, He must be invited in. Once we give Him the invitation and welcome Him in, He begins to remold us and make us into what His original intention was before the craziness of this world messed us up.

For me personally, knowing that God is with me gives me confidence.  I am able to walk in that peace that Paul talks about in Philippians 4:7, the peace of God that surpasses all understanding.  It makes me feel as though no matter what is going on around me, good or bad, I am taken care of.  No matter what the enemy does to try to attack, I am alright.  Why?  Because God is with me.  Have you invited Christ into your life as your personal Lord and Savior?  I have invited Him into my life.  I am absolutely nothing without God and truth be told, neither are you.  None of us are.  I tell Him each and everyday how much I need Him and thank Him for loving me enough to never leave me.  God is no respecter of persons.  He does not show favoritism, so that means He loves you just as much as He loves me and everyone else in this world.  Even when we sin, He still loves us.  Even when we don’t love ourselves, He loves us.  I can truly testify that the remolding can sometimes be a tough process, but the end result will be pure excellence. Will you invite Him in?  #iDeclare #willyouinviteHimin

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I thank you for being who you are.  I now understand that you are Jehovah Shammah, which means you are ever-present in my life and I thank you.  Thank You for being with me God.  I need you Lord, for I am nothing without you.  I invite you into my life and everything concerning me.  Thank you for loving me, even when I don’t love myself and for shaping me and making me into the person you created me to be.  I honor You, praise You, and thank You for hearing my prayer.  In Jesus Name, Amen.

Scripture Reference:

Psalms 46:1 KJV “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

Philippians 4:7 ESV “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

 

***If you want to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Personal Savior right now, pray this prayer…***

Heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge that I am a sinner.  I am sorry for my sins and I repent.  Please God, forgive me.  I need your forgiveness.

I believe that your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.

You said in Your Holy Word, that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.

Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved.

Thank you Jesus for your unlimited grace which has saved me from my sins. I thank you Jesus that your grace never leads to license, but rather it always leads to repentance. Therefore Lord Jesus transform my life so that I may bring glory and honor to you alone and not to myself.

Thank you Jesus for dying for me and giving me eternal life.
Amen.

*If you just said this prayer and you meant it with all your heart and you have repented for your sins, I believe that you just got saved and are born again.  Congratulations on making the very best decision you could ever make in life.
