Nothing is impossible

 

Old Testament

  • Genesis 18:14: "Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son."
  • Job 42:2: "I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee."
  • Jeremiah 32:17: "Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee:"
  • Jeremiah 32:27: "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?"
  • Zechariah 8:6: "Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts."

New Testament

  • Matthew 17:20: "And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you."
  • Matthew 19:26: "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible."
  • Mark 9:23: "Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth."
  • Mark 10:27: "And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible."
  • Luke 1:37: "For with God nothing shall be impossible."
  • Luke 18:27: "And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God."

Beyond explicit mentions, many stories and passages imply that with faith, perseverance, and God's intervention, what seems impossible can be achieved. Here are a few more references that, while they might not use the exact phrase "nothing is impossible," embody the spirit of this powerful message:

Old Testament

  • Exodus 14:13-31 (The parting of the Red Sea)
  • 2 Kings 6:15-17 (Elisha's servant seeing the army of the Lord)
  • Daniel 3:17-18 (Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego's faith in God's deliverance)

New Testament

  • Matthew 14:15-21 (Feeding the 5,000)
  • Matthew 21:21-22 (Faith and moving mountains)
  • Luke 5:1-11 (The miraculous catch of fish)
  • Acts 12:5-11 (Peter's escape from prison)

These passages highlight various forms of what can be deemed as "impossible" scenarios where faith, prayer, and divine intervention lead to miraculous outcomes. They serve as reminders of God's power over the natural world, and His ability to change circumstances and outcomes according to His will.

Five Ways to Hear God Speak to You

Hearing from God is a transformative experience that deepens one's faith and spiritual understanding. Here are five key practices supported by Scripture that can help you tune in to God's voice: 1. Remain Pure "Purity of heart leads to a clearer vision of God," as Jesus states in Matthew 5:8, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God." To remain pure, one must strive to live a life free of sin and full of grace. Other verses that emphasize purity include: Psalm 51:10 : "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me." 1 John 3:3 : "All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure." These verses remind us that purity is not just about avoiding wrongdoing, but actively seeking renewal through God's grace. 2. Have a Relationship with God Through Prayer Building a relationship with God is akin to nurturing a friendship; it requires communication and intimacy. Matthew 6:6 advises, ...

The Biblical Definition of an Ungodly Man

The Book of Jude offers one of the most vivid descriptions in Scripture of ungodly men and their destructive influence within the church. Jude’s letter warns believers to recognize and stand firm against such individuals while trusting in God’s judgment upon them. Let us explore what the Bible reveals about ungodly men, with a specific focus on Jude’s teachings. Who Are Ungodly Men? Jude describes ungodly men as those who: Lack reverence for God. Reject His authority. Follow sinful passions. Lead others astray through deception. These individuals infiltrate the church to corrupt the faithful, turning grace into a license for sin, and leading lives marked by rebellion and self-centeredness. Jude warns against their behaviors, using both historical examples and vivid metaphors to emphasize their danger and inevitable judgment. Characteristics of Ungodly Men in Jude 1. They Secretly Infiltrate the Church (Jude 1:4): “For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ord...

Co-Laboring with the Creator

As believers, we are called into a deep and profound relationship with God, one that goes beyond merely believing in Him or following His commandments. This relationship is a partnership—a divine collaboration between humanity and our Creator. God doesn’t just work on us; He works through us. We are invited to co-labor with Him, bringing His purposes to life on earth. Understanding What It Means to Partner with God At the core of partnering with God is the idea that we are not passive recipients of His grace but active participants in His mission. In 1 Corinthians 3:9, the apostle Paul writes, "For we are co-workers in God's service; you are God's field, God's building." Here, Paul emphasizes that we are co-laborers with God, working in His service to fulfill His purposes. This partnership is not one of equals. We rely entirely on God's wisdom, strength, and guidance. Our role is to be obedient, humble, and willing vessels for His work. In John 15:5, Jesus say...
