IT IS POSSIBLE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

TEXT: LUKE 1:37<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The topic before us is a sensitive one, yet has grace to help us understand God in order to experience Him. The more of God we know, the more of Him we will see and experience. Let us look at God in the Bible as touching some possibilities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

POSSIBILITIES IN THE BIBLE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1.  <\/strong>SALVATION BY ONE MAN- BEYOND HUMAN COMPREHENSION<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The generation of man admits that since came into the world by one man Adam but refused and refuses to accept that by same one man sin can be removed. The big question is, WHY? This is the point, at which some philosophers, idealist among many have issues,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Romans 5:12-21<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    12 <\/sup>Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13 <\/sup>(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 <\/sup>Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 15 <\/sup>But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 16 <\/sup>And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 17 <\/sup>For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 <\/sup>Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19 <\/sup>For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20 <\/sup>Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21 <\/sup>That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    • BY THIS TIME TOMORROW- ECONOMIC RULES BYPASSED<\/strong><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      2 Kings 7, 1 Elisha replied, \u201cHear the word of the Lord. This is what the Lordsays: About this time tomorrow, a seah (about 22 litres ) of the finest flour will sell for a shekel ($.29 \/ =N= 91.42 )and two seahsof barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      2 <\/sup><\/strong>The officer on whose arm the king was leaning said to the man of God, \u201cLook, even if the Lord should open the floodgates of the heavens, could this happen?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \u201cYou will see it with your own eyes,\u201d answered Elisha, \u201cbut you will not eat any of it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      And verse<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      18 <\/sup><\/strong>It happened as the man of God had said to the king: \u201cAbout this time tomorrow, a seah of the finest flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      19 <\/sup><\/strong>The officer had said to the man of God, \u201cLook, even if the Lord should open the floodgates of the heavens, could this happen?\u201d The man of God had replied, \u201cYou will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of it!\u201d 20 <\/sup><\/strong>And that is exactly what happened to him, for the people trampled him in the gateway, and he died.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • A VIRGIN GAVE BIRTH- MEDICAL PRICIPLES NEGATED<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Luke 1: 26 <\/sup><\/strong>In the sixth month of Elizabeth\u2019s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 <\/sup><\/strong>to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin\u2019s name was Mary. 28 <\/sup><\/strong>The angel went to her and said, \u201cGreetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.\u201d 29 <\/sup><\/strong>Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 <\/sup><\/strong>But the angel said to her, \u201cDo not be afraid,Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 <\/sup><\/strong>You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. Luke 2: 6 <\/sup><\/strong>While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 <\/sup><\/strong>and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        • MEN IN FIRE YET NOT COSUMED- SCIENTIST PROOFS NOLIFIED<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Daniel 3: 21 <\/sup><\/strong>So these men, wearing their robes, trousers, turbans and other clothes, were bound and thrown into the blazing furnace. 22 <\/sup><\/strong>The king\u2019s command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers who took up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, 23 <\/sup><\/strong>and these three men, firmly tied, fell into the blazing furnace. 24 <\/sup><\/strong>Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, \u201cWeren\u2019t there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          They replied, \u201cCertainly, Your Majesty.\u201d 25 <\/sup><\/strong>He said, \u201cLook! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.\u201d 26 <\/sup><\/strong>Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted, \u201cShadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!\u201d So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, 27 <\/sup><\/strong>and the satraps, prefects, governors and royal advisers crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          • BUSH BURNING YET LEAVES REMAINED EVER GREEN- BOTANY LAW BROKEN<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Exodus 3: Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 <\/sup><\/strong>There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 3 <\/sup><\/strong>So Moses thought, \u201cI will go over and see this strange sight\u2014why the bush does not burn up.\u201d (because common sense says when fire burns, bush must be consumed, please get out of common sense to God\u2019s sense )<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            • SEA PARTED BY THE STRECH OF STICK- WEATHER FOCAST INEXPLAINABLE<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Exodus 14: 19 <\/sup><\/strong>Then the angel of God, who had been traveling in front of Israel\u2019s army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved from in front and stood behind them, 20 <\/sup><\/strong>coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              21 <\/sup><\/strong>Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, 22 <\/sup><\/strong>and the Israelites went through the seaon dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              1. BELIEVE GOD AND BELIEVE HIS PROPHET<\/strong>,<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                 Luke 1: 45 <\/sup><\/strong>And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. (KJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                2 Chronicles 20: <\/strong>Believe in the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.(KJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                • HAVE FAITH IN GOD<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  James 1: 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 <\/sup>That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 <\/sup>Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do. (NIV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  . MOVE IN GOD’S DIRECTION<\/strong>, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  1 KING 17<\/strong> 7 <\/sup>Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. 8 <\/sup>Then the word of the Lord came to him: 9 <\/sup>\u201cGo at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there. I have directed a widow there to supply you with food.\u201d 10 <\/sup>So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, \u201cWould you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?\u201d 11 <\/sup>As she was going to get it, he called, \u201cAnd bring me, please, a piece of bread.\u201d12 <\/sup>\u201cAs surely as the Lord your God lives,\u201d she replied, \u201cI don\u2019t have any bread\u2014only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it\u2014and die.\u201d13 <\/sup>Elijah said to her, \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. 14 <\/sup>For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: \u2018The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the land.\u2019\u201d15 <\/sup>She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. 16 <\/sup>For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the Lord spoken by Elijah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
