Nothing Is Too Hard For The Lord
“Is anything too hard for the Lord?” (Gen. 18:14)
“There is nothing too hard for you.” (Jer. 32:17)
JESUS CHRIST is still alive and performing miracles even today. There is nothing too hard for him to do. Many today are despondent like Gideon and ask the question, `If God is with us, why all this has happened to us? Where are all His miracles that our fathers told us about? I am writing this to encourage you that our Lord’s power to work miracles has not changed (Heb. 13:8; Mal. 3:6) and he is willing to do amazing things in your life if only you believe in Him.
- There is no PROBLEM too hard for God to solve.
Everyone gets into tough and tight situations in life. But with God we can overcome and surmount all the problems. The Lord says, ‘Not by might not by power, but by my Spirit’. ‘What are you, O mighty mountain? You will become level ground’ (Zech. 4:6,7). What “mountains” do you face today? What are the things that seem to be impossible for you today? Is it sickness? Is it financial predicament? Is it problems at work? Is it a grief that you just can’t bear any longer? Is your marriage or family falling apart? Do you struggle with anxiety so great you don’t think you can make it through another day? Well, then hear this! NOTHING is impossible with God (Luke 1:37). He can make a way when there is no way (Is. 43:19). As He told Jeremiah, “I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?” (Jer. 32:27). No mountain is too big for him to level (Is. 45:2 NIV). No sea is too great for him to part (Exo. 14:21; Ps. 66:6). No problem is too difficult for Him to solve! Cheer up! Trust in Him. He will do a miracle for you!
- There is no PROMISE too hard for God to fulfill.
Our God is a promise keeping God (Joshua 23:14; 1Sam.3:19; 2 Chro. 6:10, 15; Neh. 9:8). The Bible says, ‘God is not a man, that He should lie…. Does he promise and not fulfill? (Num. 23:19). God promised Abraham and Sarah that He would give them a child when they were barren and when their bodies were as good as dead (Rom. 4:19, Heb. 11:12). And the Lord fulfilled his promise exactly as he had said (Gen. 21:1). The birth of Isaac signals that God is faithful and mighty in His promise. When the Israelites inherited the Promised Land as the Lord promised (Exo. 3:8; 6:6-8), Joshua said to the people, ‘You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the Lord your God gave you has failed. Every promise has been fulfilled; not one has failed’ (Joshua 23:14). God has the power to do what he has promised to you (Romans 4:21). God’s delays are not his denials (Hab. 2:3). He will surely fulfill his promises in your life.
- There is no PRAYER too hard for God to answer.
We serve a God who answers and sometimes over-answers prayers (John 14:14). The Lord declares, ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know’ (Jer. 33:3). God did great and incredible things when the men of God prayed. When Abraham prayed, God healed the barrenness of Abimelech’s household (Gen.20:17). When Joshua prayed, the sun stood still (Jos. 10:12). When Elijah prayed, the fire fell from heaven (I Kings 18:36-38). When Peter prayed, dead woman came to life (Acts.9:40). We can never pray a prayer too difficult for Him to answer. There is no tear which prayer cannot wipe away or dry up. There is no despair which it cannot dispel. E.M. Bounds says, `God is pledged that if we ask, we shall receive. God can withhold nothing from faith and prayer.’ When we go to God with pure and believing heart and ask anything according to His will, He has assured us His answers for all our prayers (I John 3:21,22; 5:14). The prayer of a righteous man is effective and powerful (James 5:16). Your miracle is just a prayer away!
- There is no PERSON too hard for God to save.
The Bible says, “Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save”. (Isaiah. 59:1; 50:2; Num. 11:23). There is no person too hard for God to save. No one is incorrigible or irredeemable in the sight of God. Everyday God transforms the lives of hundreds of people all over the world. Addicts, dacoits, murderers, rebels, robbers and the debauched are all being transformed by the saving power of the blood of Jesus. He will do the same in the lives of your friends and family members if you continue to pray from them (Mark 10:26, 27). You may be praying for someone who has not come to repentance yet. Continue to pray. God who changed the life of Zacchaeus, Paul, Lydia will change their lives also (Luke 10:9: Acts 9:1-6; 16:14, 15).
- There is no PLACE too hard for God to send a revival
The prophet Ezekiel was given a vision of a valley of dry bones (Eze. 37:1-10). The condition of the place is awful and hopeless. The people themselves cried out and said,’ our hope is lost!’ (v.11). But with God nothing is hopeless. God made the dry bone live. What God expects is that we must obey like the prophet and keep prophesying. Our city of Trichy and our nation can experience a mighty revival when we keep praying and evangelizing. He has promised that He would pour out His Spirit upon all people (Acts 2:17). God can bring revival in any seemingly hard and dry places. He can turn the desert into pools of water and the parched ground into flowing springs (Psalm 107:35). Nothing is impossible with God.
