1 And the Lord visited Sarah as He
had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had spoken. 2 For
Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which
God had spoken to him.” Genesis 21
Do you have an “impossible” request in your life? These are
three of the thousands of examples The Bible gives us about situation that
normally we would call, impossible.
Having a child on an “aged” body who is past due on its time
to conceive naturally not only is an almost impossible thing, but also
risky. Sarah barely believe it, I’m sure
she had her doubts, but when her belly started to get big, and the baby to
move, I’m sure in amazement, she regretted the previous disbelief thoughts. The
LORD proved Himself then and for us today to understand that when GOD is the
ONE who makes it happens, BE NOT AFRAID, it will be a blessing!
Are you crying for a son or a daughter who’s in a desperate
need? God saw a mother calling to heaven
for her precious jewel, a son, that was about to die, and HE intervene! And just like HE told her then, place
yourself in that mother’s shoes, cry on to God for him/her like she did, and be
in expectation for THE LORD to answer you. Because just like happened to her,
GOD will answer you! He encouraged her by telling her about that son’s future,
“I will make him a great nation”, and as HE encouraged her with words, suddenly
and out of the blue, the very thing that she needed appeared before her eyes.
From the last example, today, I’m not sure how willing you
would be to give up your kids for anyone? This
Father was willing to give up EVERYTHING he ever wanted the most, his beloved
son. Have you ever asked how would you
acted if you would have been in Abraham’s shoes? When God told him: “Take now
your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and
offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall
tell you.”[1] If you look at the story it doesn’t say that
Abraham talked back on defense of the son, it simply says that he started to
gather things around to go. Sometimes my friend, who read this, we have to
simply move to gather the ingredients needed and move on to do what God says
to. Not a single question was asked, and this is a lesson to put into practice,
and I mean this in my life. I’m good
questioning, and God is telling you and me, “JUST TRUST ME!” It doesn’t matter
that is not looking good before your eyes, is a bit risky, or if simply looks
it’s going to be a lonely journey. GOD
will make a way for you, and in trusting HIM HE will show us how deceiving our
eyes are sometimes, how when thru fear we allow the enemy to stop the blessings
of God from happening in our lives. Be strong, my friend, “TRUST IN THE LORD,
LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN understanding, IN ALL your ways ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, and HE
WILL DIRECT your path.”[2]
Bring that “impossible” thing to GOD, and when THE LORD SAYS
“leave it at the altar”, simple come and LEAVE IT AT THE ALTAR! Maybe, just maybe, the needed answer waits
for you, right there in the altar. The question is ARE YOU so desperate to get
an answer that you’ll be willing to come to the altar?!
Remember these three examples where GOD VISITED these people
who cried unto HIM, HE heard, and though in an “unconventional” way, THEY
TRUSTED IN THE LORD, AND THE LORD HIMSELF PROVIDED! When GOD calls, when HE visits, THINGS CHANGE!
I dare you to ask God and to believe for HIM to meet that
need though it might be hard for you to, YOU JUST TRUST IN GOD, remember not
leaning on your own understanding, because GOD IS GREATER THAN THE BOX, and in
our boxed minds, sometimes do not fit, HIS PLANS, because it’s way bigger that
what we can think or comprehend.
Beware of “dream crushers” around you; these people, DO NOT BELIEVE
that out of the box things can happen to those who pray and trust in THE
LORD. So be mindful of this when you’re
sharing God’s plan for your situation. Because in their disbelief they talk, your
ears hear what they talk, and believe it or not, that can and will affect your
approach to life; and if you’re not careful, they will crush your dream, and
hopes too.
“The enemy came to rob, kill and destroy, but since GOD came
to give us life and life in abundance”[3]
we can’t give Satan a chance. And unfortunately,
sometimes he uses those closer to us to crush our dreams. A good thing I had to
learn by practice, is to ask God, “do I need to share this with ____?” Believe me there’s been times when HE said
“NO”; I needed to bite my lips. But it gets better as we practice it.
I pray you give yourself the task to dare and ask God for
that miracle you need to happen; to TRUST IN THE LORD not leaning on your own
understanding and knowing that GOD’S character HIS OMNIPRESENT, OMNIPOTENT AND OMNISCENT
qualities, make HIM a GOD of the SUPERNATURAL. And when HE BELIEVE this,
EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE!!!
I’ll be in expectation of that testimony that you will be
sharing with us, as HE works that miracle just before your eyes! For the glory
of God this is my prayer in JESUS name, AMEN!
