Impossible means no faith in God. Since God can do everything, and you are a part of God, so can you. Many people use the word “impossible” as an excuse not to follow their dreams, not to achieve what they desire to be, do, or have.
What does it take to accomplish our goals, desires, and dreams? First, if you can’t do it, who can? Moreover, if someone else has done, so can you. Isn’t that wonderful to know.
If no one else has done it, it’s probably because they didn’t think of it or try hard enough to achieve it. Perhaps they didn’t catch the thought or have courage to go forth and accomplish that dream.
While in California, I was talking on the telephone with an old friend who was experiencing many disappointments in her life. But she had wonderful talents, credentials, and great possibilities. But one apparently negative thing after another was occurring in her life all at once, from the death of a relative to divorce and several unsuccessful projects. She was feeling down, dejected, and in a general funk. She felt like life wasn’t really worth it anymore.
Some would say she was having a “run of bad luck”. But there is not such thing as “luck” anymore than anything occurs by accident. Everything has a cause and a design. Universal Laws are at work.
So, I said to her: “That is old age.” A symptom of old age is lamenting more things than you look forward to. When you start looking back at all the things you lost or didn’t work out as you wanted, it cloud your vision. Instead of looking forward into the present with hope and great expectations of good that can be yours, you think about all that didn’t happen. There is a sense of loss.
I then said to her: “You need to know how life works and belief that you can accomplish your goals. First: You need to know exactly what it is you really desire to attain. If you don’t know, who will? Who do we ask?
You may say that you don’t want to attain anything big. You may say that all you want is to know God. Wanting to know, love and serve God is the highest goal attainable. But you see, “big” is relative.
Maybe you want to build a business, or improve a relationship, or overcome an illness; fulfill your life’s purpose; go out, work, and contribute to other people’s lives. Perhaps you simply want to feel good. Everyone wants to feel good in life.
Whatever it is, you need to know what you want to accomplish. God has given us the system and mechanism for manifesting our dreams. There are laws and principles that govern that system. We need to acquire knowledge of the system and put that knowledge into action.
Job 22:28 says: “Thou shalt decree a thing & it shall be established onto thee”. If you know what your goal is, you have to speak your word. You have to write it down, clarify, and refine it. But sometimes we just don’t know, yet expect it to happen.
1. It’s like going to the airport. After standing in line for 20 minutes, its your turn to buy a ticket. You go up to the clerk and ask for a “ticket”.
2. The clerk says, “Where to?”
3. You say: “I don’t know, just give me a ticket”.
4. The clerk replies: “Where do you want to go?”
5. You reply: “Well, I don’t know, just give me a ticket. Nobody ever told me where I was suppose to go. I just don’t know where I’m suppose to go.”
6. The clerk says: “Come back when you know where you want to go”.
7. But you say: “You decide where I’m suppose to go.”
8. The clerk, wanting to get rid of you, says, “Ok” and hands you a ticket to Tim-buck-two.
9. Well, you go there and decide you don’t like. (Desert Island, Mosquitoes, Rats). It was hellish. When you come back, you sue the clerk who told you where to go because you didn’t like it.
So, when you buy your airline tickets in life, you have to know where you want to go. You have to have a goal, a vision, a dream. No one but you can decide where you want to take your life. It’s up to you!
