Possibility

By Cheri Bunch
There is one word that the enemy hates. When we use the word “possible” it is like holding a firey shield in his face. When he launches his firey darts at our shields of faith he can hardly see to shoot straight. His flaming darts are extinguished when they hit the shields of our faith.

However, he thrives on the word “impossible.” He would love to get this powerful word launched from his arsenal into our minds so that it could begin to douse our shield of faith until the fire no longer remains and our shield loses its power against him.

After the word impossible has taken root in our minds, then he can launch the words “unable,” “loser,” “too weak,” “hopeless,” “I can’t,” etc. We must remember the words of Jesus and not let these despairing words take over our thoughts.

Let’s meditate on these words of Jesus:

“But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26, NKJV).

“Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes” (Mark 9:23, NKJV).

“And He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will” (Mark 14:36, NKJV).

Even before Jesus went to the Cross, He reminded the Father that with Him all things are possible. All things!

How is your shield of faith doing? Is it glowing bright hurting the enemy’s eyes, discouraging his aim? Is your mind filled with thoughts that “all things are possible with God”?

It is so easy to lose hope and let despair take over when our marriage is being threatened, when a child wanders, when illness afflicts, when conflict arises, when finances are shaken. Our minds can easily slip into fearful mode. Our faith wanes and we begin to wonder . . .
“Can our marriage survive?”
“Will my child come back to faith?”
“Can there be healing?”
“Can this relationship possibly be restored?”
“Will God provide?”

It is such a challenge because the enemy does not want us to have faith! He keeps launching his favorite word “impossible” at us. We don’t have to embrace that word! We can refuse to let it in by refusing to think it, say it, and especially believe it! Launch your favorite word back at him by saying, “It IS possible!” Say it, pray it, sing it, think it and believe it!.

Our enemy gets weary when challenged by this kind of faith. Let’s not allow him to wear us down! Let’s be on the offense and wear him down. Let’s keep these words ringing in our minds: “with God all things are possible!”
