Dealing With the Past


"Believe ye that I am able to do this?" (Matt. 9:28).




God deals with impossibilities. It is never too late for Him to do so, when the impossible is brought to Him, in full faith, by the one in whose life and circumstances the impossible must be accomplished if God is to be glorified. If in our own life there have been rebellion, unbelief, sin, and disaster, it is never too late for God to deal triumphantly with these tragic facts if brought to Him in full surrender and trust. It has often been said, and with truth, that Christianity is the only religion that can deal with man's past. God can "restore the years that the locust hath eaten" (Joel 2:25); and He will do this when we put the whole situation and ourselves unreservedly and  believingly into His hands. Not because of what we are but because of what He is. God forgives and heals and restores. He is "the God of all grace." Let us praise Him and trust Him. --Sunday School Times

I would also add that this can be applied to all things considered impossible. We know that things that are impossible for man are possible with God. I encourage you to give all that you are dealing with to God whole heartedly. Stop walking in your own will, strength and understanding and give it all completely over to God; beginning with your heart. Some of us are struggling because we are still trying to engage God on our own terms. We want His full commitment, but we are still chasing our own selfish desires instead looking to please and serve Him.

I want you to understand that it is the surrendered heart that God responds to. It is the soul that understands that without God they are powerless to actualize their full potential that thrives and resides in the realm of supernatural achievement.. It is when one becomes completely committed to the vision God has placed in their lives for His Kingdom advancement that all things begin to flow in abundance.

I invite you to rise up and live in a place where faith is rewarded beyond measure. "The eyes of the Lord roam to and fro over the entire earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are loyal to Him (2 Chronicles 16:9). Is your heart loyal to Him or can you see little pockets of selfish desires. God is looking to do the impossible in your life, invite Him into your surrendered heart and experience life at an entirely different level. ~ Dr. Rick Wallace http://rickwallaceministries.bbnow.org
