“IF GOD IS ABLE, WHAT’S KEEPING YOU FROM YOUR MIRACLE?”
a message given by Rev.Shane Andersen DD (Hon)
LUKE 7: 11-17 A miracle Main reading prior to the message.
Luke 1: 37For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Luke 18 :26-27 And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved? And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
Matt 17: 20-21 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
INTRODUCTION:
I’m thankful that we serve an awesome and mighty God! I am glad that God has everything in control even though it seems that everything around us is out of control! I readily admit that there are times that God seems a million miles away, but in reality, He is closer than we think.
God is as close as the mention of His name! What ever our needs may be, God is always there to help bear our load. If we are tempted, He is able to deliver. If we are sick, He is able to heal. And whenever we need a miracle, God is still the miracle worker! Amen!
I do not want, in any way, to portray our Savior as some kind of errand boy who is at our beckon and call. But, I do want to say that God is concerned about His children, and He is always there to answer the prayer that is ushered out of a heart of faith!
It seems that many times the reason why we fail to receive an answer from God is not because we have not prayed. It is not because we have not known God’s Will or Way. But, it was because of a lack of our faith!
It has never been a question of God’s ability or power, for by our text we read that “for with God all things are possible to them that believe!” So if you will allow me again to ask the question, “If God is able, what’s keeping you from your miracle?”
We Serve an Awesome & Mighty God!
There is no lack to our God and His mighty power. God is not some gray-headed grandfatherly figment of our imagination that walks stooped over with some weather beaten staff in hand.
what God becomes to us strictly depends upon how we really see Him. How big He becomes depends on how we put the magnifying scope of His Word to our spiritual eyes, and focus in upon a God who is bigger than anything we could ever imagine!
Romans 10 17faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
God Doesn’t Struggle Like We Struggle!
God showed Moses in His Deliverance of Isreal that He was Mightier than Pharaoh and his armies!
In the New Testament, after man had not heard from God for 400 years because of sin’s separating power, angels heralded the arrival of a Deliverer and a Savior! And the Jehovah God who had so often delivered in man’s past stepped out of the shadows of eternity into time and came again to show us that God is certainly more than enough for our every need!
He opened blinded eyes, unstopped deafened ears, caused the dumb to speak, the lame to leap, and the dead to rise again!
God is Supreme Ruler Over Everything!
He Rules the Heavens!
Isia 66 1 Thus saith the LORD, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
He Rules the Earth!
Psalm 24 1The earth is the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
He Rules the Kings of the Earth!
Proverbs 21 1 The king’s heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will.
God has the power to change men!
Our God Is!
The Peace Speaker & the Problem Solver!The Miracle Worker & the Heart Mender!He’s my Provider & my Supplier!
He’s my Shepherd & my Song!He’s my Sword & my Shield!He’s the Healer of all my diseases!The Forgiver of all my iniquities!
He is Holy & Highly Exalted!He is Merciful & He is Majestic!There is nothing too hard for Him!
There is no Sickness that He Cannot Cure!
He’s bigger than:
Aids or Alzheimer’s Arthritis or anorexia, Bulimia or Cataracts or cancer Depression or diabetes Emphysema or Epilepsy Hepatitis or Heart disease Melanoma or Migraines Turberculosis or anything else!
The Bible still declares that by His stripes we are healed!
