The dictionary defines the word “Impossible” as "that which cannot be or is impracticable; not feasible; that cannot be done." Yet, God makes a habit of doing what others label impossible.
Webster's defines a habit as "a disposition or condition of the mind or body acquired by custom or a frequent repetition of the same act. Habit is that which is held or retained, the effect of custom or frequent repetition. Hence we speak of good habits and bad habits."
God makes it a point of repetition to tackle what others said was impossible. The things thought impossible with man become possibilities with God and He constantly took action for those that believed throughout the Bible. Because of that we know about the waters parting, the storm subsiding, the blinded eyes opening, the deaf ears becoming unstopped, the dead rising, the unclean cleansed, and the unforgivable forgiven.
You can’t make something come true that you haven’t envisioned. You have to start somewhere. God starts with nothing and makes something extraordinary.
When the rich young ruler who did all the religious things walked away from Jesus without accepting true salvation, the disciples wondered out loud to Jesus about who could enter into the kingdom of God. Jesus said in:
Luke 18:25-27 “For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. 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.”
It is not that prosperous people cannot go to heaven or that God is against prosperity, but it’s that mans wealth, knowledge of religious practices, or doing good things cannot save you. You must be willing to give it all away if necessary and be subject unto God and His will for your life. It’s learning that what men think is impossible with themselves is all possible with God.
