What God cannot do......

Someone told me the other day, “there is nothing God can’t do”…. I grinned.  I knew what they meant BUT....there are things God cannot do and I am so excited about them.  

My God cannot be unholy so I can be holy.  My God cannot break a promise or lie so everything Daddy has spoke to me will come to pass.  My God cannot leave or forsake me.  Man, friends, and family have left me but my Daddy will always be with me.  My God cannot remember sins He has chosen to forget.  Yeah, because in my lifetime I have screwed up a lot.  My God cannot stop thinking about me and loving me; I am always on His mind.  My God cannot stop being God; so since I am in Christ, I live a victorious life.  


 

Encouragement.....

I have been in a battle.  It has been an intense battle.  My armor is not shiny, but bloody, dirty, full of dents.  It has been an intense battle with no fair boundary lines.  But what do you expect in spiritual warfare.  I am blogging some of the encouragement I have heard in my intimate prayer time.  I am hoping this will help someone who is also walking through hell.  

Tension means something is happening.  When there is tension on a shoddy foundation, something will happen. When there is tension pushing on a door that is stuck, something will eventually happen.  Sometimes things have to fall apart for something better to fall together.  If I am in Christ, then so are my circumstances.  I should have rivers flowing through me, a refreshing not tiredness.  But sometimes I need an encouraging word to say, "Keep going, it's all worth it..."


This is what I am hearing (now remember I am walking through 'crap' so I have to keep telling myself this....) If the situation is bad, difficult, and the enemy is strong, I must remember that Daddy must make him (the enemy) bow and demonstrate how much greater His power over the enemy is.  All things are possible with Christ, so what do I have to do? Believe.... I must stop praying and pleading for Him to come.  He is here, dwelling in me and I must only abide.  Daddy is confident in who He is and what He can do.  I do pray for Him to strip away from me all the capacity to be negative, a low self-esteem, tiredness, weariness, worry, anxiety, ineffectiveness, inferiority and to strengthen my identity in Christ.  Like you can be in Christ and be ordinary... NOT!!!  Warriors who endure will reap the plunder.  I pray, "Daddy, please don't allow me to screw it up".  Courage is not an emotional state but rather the choice we make to overcome our feelings so that we can obtain our desired outcome.   My desired outcome is to walk intimacy with Daddy in all situations with answered prayers.  No man fears to kneel before the God he trusts.  Stand strong and stand in your place of authority.  Be encouraged.....
