Today we are looking at a NT verse from the book of Matthew, chapter 19 and verse 26. I will quote the NLT first, and it says “ With God everything is possible.” Huge promise here. Huge. Two things to note right off the bat: #1 - what’s the verb in this sentence? IS - That’s present tense, folks. So right now, RIGHT NOW, with God everything IS possible. IS.

Today we are looking at a NT verse from the book of Matthew, chapter 19 and verse 26. I will quote the NLT first, and it says “ With God everything is possible.”

Huge promise here. Huge.

Two things to note right off the bat:

#1 - what’s the verb in this sentence? IS - That’s present tense, folks. So right now, RIGHT NOW, with God everything IS possible. IS. This is a present tense promise.

#2 - God is not a liar.

This is really important to remind ourselves of, like, all the time. Every day. And you and I need to say this out loud. God is not a liar. Hey, devil, guess what? Lemme just remind you of this one thing, satan… God is not a liar. Hey, that fear that is creeping in? Speak to that fear and tell it this absolute, immovable, solid like a mountain sized boulder truth: God is not a liar.

Okay, so let’s think about your life right now. Do you have a health issue? Do you have a financial issue? Do you have relationship issues? Do you have problems at work? Is your extended family in a mess or in duress? Does your life look totally unlike you and your spouse or your friends thought it was gonna look like right now?

Let me just read once more the words of Jesus found here in Matthew 19:26 - With God everything is possible.

If it’s your health, it’s possible with Him. Your job your career - possible with Him. Your relationships - possible with God.

But remember, this verse covers over every single thing.

Don’t let your ideas about life get in the way of living the life God has laid out before you. We do it all the time - and if we just keep doing it, what impossibility are we going to miss out on?

He brings dead things to life all the time but we may be missing that in our own lives because we have failed to remind ourselves that the God of the impossible is our God.

This verse is for your present tense life, my friend.

And God? He does not lie to us.
