God of the impossible
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”
I prayed a bit of crazy prayer today.
I feel as though lately that is all i have been doing...praying to God and asking Him about things which in the natural seem impossible.
Really impossible.
And yet, i have this faith and this hope that God is working it out. i have this faith and trust in Him that He is doing something in the background that i cannot see nor fathom.
Today at church we had a special guest preacher and at the very end of the message he brings up these two bible verses - the only two he read today.
______________
1 John 5:14-15
Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.
and also
Matthew 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
_______________
He said something awesome - that seeking God and searching for His will for our lives can only be found through reading the word of God.
Because the reality is that when you seek God and when you search for Him with your whole heart through His word which He has made available to us, God will begin to reveal to you things that you cannot even begin to imagine.
God will show you what His will is for your life and then when you begin to pray to Him, you will be praying according to His will.
It is a mystery and a secret that He has revealed to me lately.
That seeking Him and praying to Him and immersing myself in His word is the key to unlocking His plans for our lives. and then once you have done that and He has revealed what He wants for your life, you get to partner with God in praying for it and seeing it come to pass.
God really will give us what we want - so long as what we want is according to His will and i am seeing that now. I am seeing that it is possible to align your mind and your heart with what God wants for you.
There is something i have been praying for and for the past couple of years i wondered and wondered if it was God’s will for my life.
Upon seeking Him in my quiet place (my car ha) He began to show me that it is His will for my life but notice this - He waited for an appointed time to show me what His will is.
I kind of felt this impression that what my promise is coming in this season and i began to feel led to pray about it - and by pray about it i mean i felt led to pray and call it into being according to the will of God and in the name of Jesus Christ.
So...
That impossible thing?
Well it’s not very impossible then is it?
I am trusting that as i am seeking God and His kingdom and His righteousness, He is showing me some really cool things and one of those things is that i serve the one and only living God who just happens to be a God who loves working with impossible.
Abraham and Sarah, Moses and the Red Sea, Joseph and prison, David and Goliath and then David and Saul, Esther and the genocide, Gideon and his small army, the wall of Jericho, Noah and the Ark, Jesus and the water into wine, Jesus and conquering death. Jesus and the resurrection.
These are all impossible things. Things that in the physical and natural realm should not have happened at all.
And yet,
The God i serve is a God who just loves the impossible because it reflects the glory back on to Him.
He loves to show us who He is and He loves to reveal His character to us and i think one way He does it is through all of the impossible things we give up on or give up hoping for.
I suppose in my seeking God, i have realised that there is no such thing as impossible with Him. I cannot limit Him nor can i place Him in box.
And so right now - i place this (the thing on my heart) in His hands.
and I say - God. Take that which is seemingly impossible and mould it into a tangible reality which no eye has seen, nor ear heard nor human mind ever conceived (1 Cor 2:9). I trust that you are good! i trust that you hear my prayers (Jeremiah 29:12). I trust that when i ask for something according to your will and in the name of Jesus Christ, it is already done (John 14:14). And so in this moment Father, i hand over my hopes and dreams and wishes. I pray that in this moment where that thing - that desire, that hope, that promise - seems so distant and impossible, that you be with me. guiding me and showing me your goodness so i may have faith in who YOU are
Dear God. thank you for it is done!

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Living by Faith
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible. By faith, Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was…

There is no dream big or small that you cannot make happen.
The world today is filled with naysayers that make excuses on why they can’t. I know because I’ve been one of them…at times I’m still one of them. It important to remember that you are capable of more than you know. All you need is the faith of a mustard seed! Believe in yourself and you can achieve what is near and dear to your heart.
Sometimes dreams can be as small as being healthy or as big as owning your own land. Others would want to start a family or travel . There is no dream big or small that you can’t achieve without God, faith, perseverance, and time. Dreams can be just that a dream but, when you finally wake up, do whatever you can to make them a reality!

my heart isnt dismal or spiteful because, i hate what is bad and love what is good. God didnt make it hard at all on me, demons did... GOD didnt put heaviness on me, demons did... but im a TP ass Negu, so dont ask me where i stay again... ummm--- my intentions have been the same, i like for good to be and stay good, get better as well.. in manners, fashions and of forms that are fitting according to the schematics and confines of righteousness.. and i hate for wrong to exist and function.. I KNOW that GOD didnt make it hard on me, for MAAAAANY a reason.. but simply, .. I know because it wasnt hard for me to have sense of whats good and bad. as simple as having sense to say what i just said so that YOU can know i knew it. i survived bad advances upon me, ALREADY being good enough to survive it.. when i see my Negus doing regular shit, like... regular 💩 lol ... i STILL be like dam, that looks difficult, shihd ion know if i could make it having to do that... but GOD nor me made it to where id have to experience or endure certain things, i was me, conceived by GOD, given FAITH through observance of his sons deeds, works, and MILESTONE miraculous endeavors, that brought sense so that PROOF could be proven.. and FAITH could be held assuredly as it is meant #Hebrews11... which gets clearer and sturdier day by day for Gods servants... So the same for ANY NEGU, the routes are the same @GodInMyPlaybook ALTHOUGH, the avenues, fields, & venues, are not which seems fitting enough to me.. and thats me... but thats key for ANY Negu, enough...., enough is always adequate, ample so, THEREfore, sufFIcient for a NEgu. its demons that are greedy, and the greed they have is for something that a Negu wants NO incremental amount of that ever WAS NOR ever COULD BE in eXIstence or even FALsely fathomed. so demons are in a debt that they cant survive to see themselves NOT being a demon.. A NEGU NEVER COULD AFFORD TO BE ONE, its impossible... so when ppl keep saying ANYthing is possible, i hate that bc its not, and they mostly say it to the little ones, but NOT MINE... 💩 like you can be anything you want to be... hey mine already know they already THAT... THEM.. so naw you wont w/mine. (at Douglasville Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_0lKpOe9N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New Year’s Sunday blessings, friends! How can I pray for you this week and this New Year? 🙏💗 The best part of a new year is the feeling of hope: having a clean slate, new chances, and a new opportunity. But when we remember where our true hope comes from, it is easier to be much more confident in our future. Because the surest foundation of hope in any year we welcome is faith. And if you’d like a condensed New Year’s read for how faith can build a life of honor and blessing, I recommend taking a minute to read Hebrews 11. There, Paul describes examples of faith heroes that can inspire all of us in our future horizons. From Abel, Enoch, and Noah to Abraham, Sarah, Jacob, and Joseph. Moses, Joshua, and Rahab. And a list of many others. Paul beautifully summarizes the promises God fulfills to those who walk by faith. So more than a single day or year, I challenge each of us to pursue the greater rewards reaped by a life led by faith and the promise of the new day that is dawning for all of us. ✨ #SundayBlessings #prayerrequests #walkbyfaith #newyearblessings #hebrews11 #christianwriter #cainspirations #kristicainbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm4F15lrArJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Having faith sometimes is hard even when we have been in the Lord’s path for awhile. I was reading the book of hebrews and chapter 11 talks about faith. It’s crazy to have faith in something not palpable for the human eye. They had faith in God in the Old Testament, a God that made his power known and showed his mercy to his people. Faith takes a lot of strength, for example it’s hard to believe or keep the faith especially when doubt starts to take over. Like when Noah was instructed to build the ark and prepare for the flooding. Him warning others of what was going to happen only for these people not to believe and just mock him and laugh. I’m sure Noah started to feel some sort of doubt (as humans, our emotions take over us). But Noah persisted and kept the faith and built that ark and was obedient to God. In the book of Leviticus on chapter 26, the word talks about obedience vs. disobedience and what that brings along with it. Obedience brings blessings and peace while disobedience brings negative consequences and disturbance. Chapter 11 of Hebrew speaks about how faith brings us closer to God. Throughout the Bible we see men and woman of God that walked with faith and feared the Lord even when other told them otherwise. We see a few references of people throughout the Bible that had faith in one way or another. Abel, offered the Lord the best of what he had and he found grace and gratitude in the eyes of God(Hebrews11:4). We need faith to carry on in our lives as Christians, it’s impossible to please the Lord or walk with the Lord and not have Faith!(Hebrews 11:6). If we believe in God, we must believe in faith and above all walk in faith. Even when we feel the enemy attacking us and trying to put doubt in our hearts and minds. We need to have faith like Abraham, who left everything he knew and trusted God and his plans for him as he walked in faith towards the land that was his under inheritance (Hebrews 11:8). God is faithful to his promises! Like Sarah who gave birth even though she was infertile! (Hebrews 11:11) She believed that God was faithful and that he kept his word. Ephesians 2:8-9 says “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.” Lets take Job for example who literally lost everything. His health declined, all his kids died and he was left with nothing && even through that not once did his faith grow weary. For example when we pray in times of hardship and in time of need we pray and run to the father because that’s what we are taught to do. Running to the father and praying is mainly because of faith. Faith in God that he will make a way when it seems there is no way. Faith in God that he will deliver us in times of hardship and when we can’t carry anymore. God walks with us by our side at all times. Even when we don’t feel close to God or that he doesn’t hear us crying out for help. We just need a small amount of faith to see God work in our personal life and spiritual life. We can sometimes live a good personal/ social life but our spiritual life my be dead, barely hanging on or even trying to come back to life again. We just need to pray, seek the face of the Lord and walk in Faith. Even if it’s a tiring and slow progress. Faith is trusting God in every season of our lives, whether we are blessed or passing through the valley and desert. If we ever lack faith or feeling like we are running out, all we have to do is ask. Matthew 7:7-8 says “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you”.

"Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1
Faith is not merely believing in something; it is having confidence in God's promises and assurance that He is at work, even when circumstances seem uncertain. This kind of faith requires trust and surrender to God, acknowledging that He knows what is best for us.
so Have a BlessedWalk. by faith not by sight ✨

A Prayer for Hope: Lord, I maintain my hope in You and I hold onto the assurance that what I am praying for is already accomplished in the name of Jesus. Your Word promises “no good thing does He withhold from those that walk uprightly” (Psalm 84:11). I wait upon You for Your definition of the “good thing” You will not withhold from me. As David prayed in (Psalm21:2) "You have given him his heart's desire and have not withheld the request of his lips. Selah"
Romans8:24-25 For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
Philippians4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Psalm20:4 May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans!
2Corinthians5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
1John514-15 And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.
Psalm16:11 You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Proverbs3:6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?
Psalm37:5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.
Proverbs4:23 Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.
Psalm94:19 When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.
Mark11:24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
Hebrews11:6 A man cannot please God unless he has faith. Anyone who comes to God must believe that He is. That one must also know that God gives what is promised to the one who keeps on looking for Him.

This is because there are things that we cannot see that we are firmly believing in, and they do exist! For example, not knowing the end result of a dilemma, but still having hope in God and being faithful that He is taking care of it, shows that even though we don’t know the details, there is a specific and planned end result that exists!!!!!

Faith Beyond Sight: Hebrews 11:1
🌟 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." - Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV) 🌟
This powerful verse reminds us that faith is not just a feeling, but a firm foundation for our hopes and dreams. It's the confidence in things that are beyond our current sight, and the assurance that our beliefs will become reality. Let's hold onto our faith, knowing that even when we can't see the outcome, we can trust in the promises that lie ahead.
