I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God … — Romans 1:16
Never sell your faith short. The same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in you. What is impossible with men is possible with God.
If something isn’t working, it only means we haven’t yet learned how to get out of the way so God can work. Maybe there’s still too much of us, just like Gideon had too many soldiers. The enemy didn’t trouble God at all. It was Gideon’s soldiers that were in the way. When most of the army went home, then God had room to work.
Expect the miraculous. Expect the supernatural. Expect to look inside and see a brand new you, because, hey, God is at work in you.
I don’t know what battle you are fighting or what mountain you are climbing. I don’t know what challenge you face. But I do know this: If it’s merely difficult, then you don’t need anything I’m saying. Keep going until it becomes impossible. Then remember, there is a God in heaven who delights in doing the impossible. He will walk with you, and together you will conquer your Canaan.
Be encouraged!
