The Rules of Impossibility

"And He said, Come." Matt 14:29
I didn't know one word could pack on power, power for doing the impossible. I figure if you were going to do the impossible, step one would be to find out how. The how depends then on who gave the instruction. Because if it was impossible for them, they wouldn't require it of you independent of them.
Does that remind you of life? People think GOD placed us in this world to figure things out on our own but that could not be farther than the truth. We were supposed to do life with JESUS. He promised to bring glory to His Name when we lift Him high.
So when JESUS asked Peter to Come, He was essentially saying, "All my resources will be committed to making sure that that Come will not fall to the ground."
So when Peter saw the wind, and the waves, he saw the magnitude, breath of the task, and the anointing present. Doubt followed. Then the fall.
Peter took his eyes off who insured the pass to step on the water. He grabbed it with his mind but lost it in chaos.
JESUS saves Peter from drowning but today, no matter what impossibility you are facing, here are some pointers about navigating impossibilities.

1. Who gave the instruction? The power to move and succeed depends on Who gave the instruction.
2. The Power of THE WORD. The WORD of GOD carries power that floats us over impossible situations. Others wonder how you survived, you know it was only GOD!
3. Steadfastness. It's not okay to believe once. To get the desired result, you must keep believing. Just as a bad guy keeps convincing themselves about the evil they plan, you the good guy, must continually without any breakage, convince yourself about GOD's integrity and the integrity of GOD's WORD.
4. Guaranteed success. You must believe you will succeed if GOD sent you. That WORD is capable of getting you there, wherever there is.
5. Rinse and repeat. The next impossibility will come. Because you beat the past one, you go to GOD for the WORD to beat this one. Using the same weapons and strategy, you win again. But if you don't win, you learn so you can win the next one.

Finally, if you ask me, that point was where Peter showed why he became chosen as a chief Apostle. His faith beyond the visible, proved GOD can trust him when something unconventional and impossible needed to be done. Years later, Cornelius, a gentile was a candidate for salvation. But Peter, needed to walk on water one more time, this time, the water of faith. If Peter chose to step out of Jewish tradition to go to the uncharted waters of faith where Cornelius stood, he could close a gap and  then you and I can be saved thousands of years later. Peter didn't wait for GOD to tell him all that was planned. When he heard, "kill and eat" and after that encounter, knew GOD was in it, he led Cornelius and his family to put their faith in KING JESUS CHRIST.
That was the first step into impossibility. Two thousand years later, Peter's first step of impossibility, became our endless door of opportunity for integration into the family of GOD!
Today, no matter what you are facing, remember, your training is dependent on what GOD planned for you to do on earth. If GOD tells you to do something impossible, HIS WORD will power you through. And, if by chance you shake and begin sinking, cry out to JESUS and HE will save you. Once you put your faith in HIM, JESUS is only ever a breath away. HE loves you and HE is looking forward to seeing all you will acheive for HIM in your lifetime.

Please keep in mind that the same water Peter was drowning in, JESUS was still standing on despite the storm!

The most impactful rule of impossibility then is the factor of who spoke to you. Who sent you powers you. Will you go into the impossible for JESUS today? Because if you do, you will live in the realm where miracles happen.
Blessings to you,
Joy
