Making the Impossible Possible - Matthew 19:26
October 23, 2022
important part of seeing spiritual harvest is resting in what God has already done… farmer doesn’t try to figure out how seed grows… it just does… his job is to plant it in good soil… resting after you plant shows how much you trust God (cold sore)…
Isa 30:15… “in rest you shall be saved (victorious)… trust shall be your strength…”
Mark 4:26-27… “man scatters seed… sprouts and grows… he doesn’t know how…”
Heb 4:1-13… “promise of rest remains… word preached did them no good… because they didn’t mix it with faith… we who believe enter His rest… make every effort to enter rest…”
impossible harvests are only possible when we believe God’s word… pray…
Matt 19:26… “with man this is impossible… but with God all things are possible…”
Mark 5… “daughter is dead… don’t be afraid, only believe… little girl, get up…”
Mark 9… “unbelieving generation… I do believe, help my unbelief… all possible…”
Luke 8… “seed is the word… devil comes to steal so they may not believe…”
Luke 24:25… “how foolish and slow you are to believe…”
John 5… “if you don’t believe what he wrote… how will you believe My words…”
John 6:28-29… “this is the only work God wants from you… believe in His Son…”
John 14:1… “don’t let heart be troubled… believe in God… believe also in Me…”
Rom 1:16-17… “gospel is THE power of salvation to all who believe…”
Rom 3:22… “the righteousness of God thru faith in Jesus to all who believe…”
Rom 10:14… “how can they believe without hearing about Him…”
1Cor 1:21… “God was pleased to save those who believe foolishness of word…”
2Cor 4:13… “I believed, therefore I spoke… we also believe and therefore speak…”

1John 3:23… “this is His command… believe in the name of the Lord Jesus…”
1John 5:13… “written to you who believe… so you know you have eternal life..”
pisteou… think to be true, place confidence in; trust that Jesus is able to do something…
Our unbelief problem is due to our lack of intimacy with God. Prayer is intimacy. We live by consuming God’s word. The result is knowing God is good and His word is true. If our hearts are not controlled by the love God has for us, it shows we neglected to feed from His word. —-
how can you know what you truly believe… check out what your mouth is speaking… life or death comes from the seeds you’ve planted in your heart…
Prov 18:21… “words kill, words give life… either poison or fruit… you choose…”
Matt 12:34… “whatever is in your heart determines what you say…”
Luke 6:45… “the mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart…”
God created the world with words… words are exceedingly powerful… when we speak His words… we speak with His power…

Mark 11:23-24… “whoever says… believes what he says… have what he says…”
John 1:1-18… “all created thru Word… apart from Him, nothing created… in Him is life…”
Heb 11:3… “universe was created by word of God… what is seen created out of unseen…”
nothing was made without the Word… yet we try over and over to bring harvest in without considering God’s word first… words impact every single area of life…
Prov 15:4… “kind words heal and help… cutting words wound and maim…”
Eph 4:29… “watch way you talk… say only what helps… give grace to hearers…”
1Cor 3:6-7… “I planted seed… Apollos watered… but only God gave growth…”
Jam 3:1-12… “if we could control our tongues… we would be perfect and could control ourselves in every other way… tongue can set course of our life on fire…”
1Pet 3:10… “enjoy life and see happy days… keep tongue from speaking evil…”
Harvest is near to those who are near to God’s word
God’s word always brings life… brings things from spiritual world into physical…
Psa 107:20… “He sent His word and healed them…”
Prov 4:20-23… “My words… bring life to those who find them… healing to whole body…”
John 6:60-71… “this teaching is hard… Jesus, knowing His disciples were complaining asked, does this offend you, words I have spoken are spirit and life, but there are some of you who don’t believe… many left… Peter answered, You have the words of life, we have come to believe and know You are the Christ…”
skandalizo… stumbling block; cause to distrust one we ought to trust and obey; fall away…
God has equipped you with the power of His word… bible is our weapon… the scriptures are bullets… your mouth is the trigger (dart gun)… must use correct ammo for the enemy you are fighting… not just any verse will do…
2Kings 2:23-24… “go up baldy, go up… two bears came and mauled them…”

Isa 55:11… “My word always produces fruit… prospers everywhere I send it…”
1Cor 1:18-25… “word is power of God to those who are being saved…”
1Thess 1:5… “gospel came to you not simply with words… but with power…”
Eph 6:10-18… “sword of the Spirit… which is the word of God…”
Word brings light to darkness
when in darkness of sickness, worry, fear, lack… God’s word brings light… you must have light (Jesus) and water (HS) for seed to grow to full harvest…
Psa 119:105… “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path…”
Psa 119:130… “the unfolding of Your words gives light… imparts understanding…”
Jer 5:24… “God gives us rain… assuring us of a harvest when the time is right…”

Eph 5:9… “this light within you produces only what is good, right, and true…”
Jam 5:7… “be patient… wait for the rains… valuable harvest to ripen…”
Word is seed and supernatural harvest is the fruit
66 bags of seed… what will you do with them… no hope for supernatural harvest apart from God’s word… believer who is far away from word is far away from harvest… more word, more life, more harvest (harvest blockers next week)… pray…
Prov 20:4… “lazy person does not plow… he’ll seek at harvest and have nothing…”
Hos 10:12… “plant seeds of righteousness… now is the time to seek the Lord…”
