The Impossiblity Possibility Factor

Greetings and salutations all of you Possibility People. How's the impossibilities in your life? Do the odds just seem overwhelming.

Sure there are some things that we can do without God in our lives (though not really) Jesus said apart from Him you could do nothing...no thing...zilch...zip...nada... nuttin' honey...zero)....but there are things on the surface that we can do. This first picture is a Norman Rockwell classic of a kid with a dream...and putting his faith in action by lifting those weights. I love this picture...because from the profile...this kid looks like me in my teens...glasses, hair, facial proportion. When I see it...I see me.

Mastercard...encourages us to MASTER THE POSSIBILITIES...by getting into debt. After all...when you can call out...Master...Master...Mastercard...who needs God...right?

Well...what got me to thinking about the Impossibility Possibility factor was communion at my church S.A. This is my month to lead in communion...where various people throughout the year...have some comment to focus us on the bread and the wine.

As I was meditating on this the night before...I cam up with Luke 18:27..."But He said...the things that are IMPOSSIBLE with people/man...are POSSIBLE with God." I begin to think about what the table represents...our impossibility to save ourselves...and the possibility of Jesus.

The word IMPOSSIBLE means: unable, weak, impossible, could not do, impotent, not possible.

The word POSSIBLE means: powerful or capable, possible, could do, mighty, power, strong.

The bread and the wine become touchstones...where we can take our impossibilities...and remember that with the Death, Burial, and Resurrection...ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. The blood of bulls and goats...and even a rabbit crucified on a cross (Easter)...cannot save our souls, forgive our sins, heal our bodies, break the curse of poverty...BUT Jesus...the PROPITIATION (substitute/satisfaction for God)...can take what is impossible...and make it possible.

Cue the music...light the fuse...and get ready for all of the possibilities in your life.

The MASTER...not the card...will be the one who will meet your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19)...as we realize that we can do ALL THINGS... through Christ who strengthens us. (Philippians 4:13)

FINAL THOUGHTS FINALLY

Starting on February 17th....I will be entering Lent with great anticipation of God doing a work in my spirit (my place of intimacy with Him), my soul (my mind, my will, my emotions) and my body (the overall physical parts of me). During that time there will be no Facebook writings or Ruminator Ramblings. I will be teaching on Sunday mornings in the Ruminator Sunday School class on The Gospel of John Ruminator Style...and will still be sending our RUMINATOR UPDATES to those who are attending class. You can still contact me via e-mail
I will be praying for you during this time.

Love...and Possible Kisses
