Reveal the God of the Impossible
People feel the weight of the impossible when they believe the God of the impossible does not dwell with them. You reveal the God who dwells with flesh because of the Spirit in you.
Reveal the God of the Impossible
Nebuchadnezzar had an anger problem. He burned with fury more than once! But he was the ruler of his known world. So he could.
When Arioch, Nebuchadnezzar’s goon sent to kill the wisemen, Daniel acted prudence and discretion.
Discretion has a meaning of “flavor.”
Daniel spoke with flavor. To the one coming to kill him.
Daniel did not…
Freak out.
Get mad.
Demand his rights.
Daniel requested an audience with the king. And he again Asked, Bartered and Served the king choosing to kill him over the impossible task.
Nebuchadnezzar felt the weight of the impossible because of the dream. Then he passed the impossible on to others.
You lead people in ministry who feel the weight of the impossible because their lives are impacted by people who feel the weight of the impossible. And they pass their impossible on to others.
However, Daniel knew the God of the impossible. He knew the God who made his dwelling among flesh.
Because he knew the God of the impossible who dwells with flesh, Daniel could act with prudence and discretion and flavor.
As a ministry leader, you have the opportunity to lead people to trust the God of the impossible who makes his dwelling with flesh. You get to lead them to act with prudence and discretion and flavor towards those who demand the impossible.
Remember, the world around you is freaked out by the impossible because they do not believe the God of the impossible dwells with flesh.
And you are God with flesh on because the Spirit dwells with you. Just like Daniel.
Daniel got his small group together to seek mercy from God. They sought mercy for themselves and all their wisemen companions. They sought the good of their city…and themselves!
When God revealed the mystery, Daniel praised God. The praise is what Daniel’s small group already knew and trusted. This is why Daniel could act with prudence, discretion and flavor. And be respectfully bold.
God reveals deep and hidden things. He knows what is in darkness. And the light dwells within him…and he lights up the paths of those who seek him.
God wants to use you and your small group to reveal what is impossible. Revealing what is impossible reveals the God who does dwell with flesh. He will use you to shine light into the darkness inside someone else.
Take God’s Word Deeper…
Do you feel the weight of the impossible? Do others around you feel the weight of the impossible? How can you reveal the God of the impossible who dwells with flesh?
How can you lead your church to step back and see how people feel the weight of the impossible because they believe the God of the impossible does not dwell with them? How can you lead small groups to pray for those who feel the weight of the impossible?
Pray for God to give you eyes to see the weight of the impossible and how you can reveal the God of the impossible who dwells with flesh.
