Pray to the God of the Impossible - Christ’s Commission Fellowship


Jeremiah 32:17, 27
17“Ah, Sovereign LORD, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for You… 27 “I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for Me?”
The one thing that would greatly impact our prayer life is how much we personally know who God is – His Word, deeds and character.
It will take us eternity to know God but the more we decide to get to know God day by day, the more we will trust Him completely and obey whatever He tells us to do and not do. The closer our relationship with Him, the more we know that He is the God of the impossible.

God Created the Heavens and Earth
God amazingly created the heavens and the earth by His great power and outstretched arm. He set the sun, moon, and stars in place with exact specifications and functions (Psalm 8:3). If anything He created is more or less than what it is, it could damage and destroy all of His creations. Our God intricately created everything with order and precision. This amazing display of God’s handiwork is a solid testament of how awesome He is.
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands. – Psalm 19:1
God is too marvelous for us to comprehend, too wonderful for us to understand. He is the God of the impossible in more ways than we realize.
We stand in awe when we think about the glory of God in His majestic creation of heaven and earth. Our God created this vast expanse out of nothing. He is the God of the impossible; nothing is too difficult for Him.

The God of all Mankind and History
Who are we that God is mindful of us? He marked each one of us for His specific recognition. He is constantly engaged in our lives. In fact, He knew everything about us even before we were born.
God saw our unformed body when we were inside our mother’s womb. He knitted and made all the inner delicate parts of our body (Psalm 139:13-15). God made each one of us unique.
God is the God of world history. He is the God of the past, present, and future. When we read history, we see God’s Hand was there the whole time. History is His story.
God is the God of our personal history. God knows our story. He saw us before we were born and sees all the days of our life. God is constantly watching over us, day in and day out (Psalm 139:16-17).
When we begin to doubt our God, we can be encouraged by this quotation from Jose Navajo’s Mondays with my Old Pastor:
“My responsibility is to think about God. It’s God’s responsibility to think about me.”

The God of the Impossible (Jeremiah 32)
During the time of Babylon’s rule over Jerusalem, God told Jeremiah to buy the field at Anathoth from his cousin Hanamel. Jeremiah obeyed even though it seemed unwise because the land was being overtaken by the Babylonians. But Jeremiah knew God. He trusted and obeyed because he knew that God is the God of the impossible. God told him that houses, fields and vineyards will again be bought in that land. This would happen past Jeremiah’s lifetime but he obeyed for the sake of future generations.
The most impossible situation any human being can face is his eternal separation from God because of sin (Isaiah 59:2). Human intervention, religion, resolution, good works, rituals, and sincere efforts cannot solve this problem. But the God of the impossible made a solution to this impossible situation. God gave His one and only Son, Jesus, for all our iniquities - His life for our life.
Knowing the God of the impossible begins with a personal relationship with Jesus when we surrender our lives to Him as our personal Lord and Savior. It is the beginning of experiencing the God who can make all things possible according to His great plan and high purpose.
Because God is the God of the impossible, therefore we should pray, we should trust and we should obey God regardless of our situation. Many times, God will not change our situation according to what we are praying for but He will change our hearts, perspectives, and desires so that we will be completely surrendered to Him whether the circumstance changes or not.
