Audio Tape 1
We are beginning a new series of teaching as I always say you can never actually finish on a subject on
the Word of God. Theres always so much to learn but at a given period there is so much that you can
take and then later on you learn on the same subject. From today I want to begin on sharing things from
the word of God learning how to turn hopeless situations around. Changing hopeless situations around.
Are there such things as hopeless situations? If there are hopeless situations is it actually possible to
change them? Is it at all possible to turn them around? Are there hopeless situations? I think there are.
From mans stand point there are hopeless situations. Someone can be in a predicament in a place where
dont know where to turn. Where you dont know what to do. A confusing state of such that there is no
way out. We find ourselves in a position that the only thing we can do is to let go. We just allow
ourselves to keep floating and say whatever the outcome maybe it is ok. Because we dont think there
is any way out. Could there be a change? Maybe its a home. Maybe a financial situation. Maybe a
health situation. Material physical or psychological anything. Something with your job, school,
university, children family. Could there possibly be a way out? You know someone said onetime I dont
want my hopes to be raised please. Let me just know that there is no way. Dont try to raise my hopes
because I feel very bad if you raise my hopes and things dont work out right. Maybe for some people
thats the way they think. Better not to raise my hopes if you raise my hopes and things dont work out
I feel very bad. What if what if just for one moment there could really be a change. A positive
change. What if there could really be a miracle? Have you ever considered it? Just what if? People like
to ask What if it doesnt work? The real question is What if it works?! Just what if it works? So whatever
the situation there may be could there possibly be a way out? A dependable way out. Thats what the
subject is all about. If there is what is our role in it? Is there anything I could do for the situation to
change in my family, my job, in my school, marriage anything. Is there something I could do? Someone
said Ive done everything!! Sir you have only done all you knew. Is it possible that something you dont
know but if you did know could just change everything? Is it possible for one moment? Something that
you dont know? What if that, that thing you dont know is the very thing that could change it? What if
that there is just one step closer and that one step is the step you dont know nothing about? Do you
know in our lives a lot of times there is where we get! When you get to the end and theres no way out
and there is just one more step that you havent taken and that one step is what you dont know nothing

1|Page
about. If you knew may be you would have done it. Sometime its that one step you think will not work
youve heard of it youve thought about it but the only thing you thought about it was that it will
not work. Have you ever found yourself in that situation? Youve tried everything else about something
youve been trying to do and a thought came to you to do it this other way and you thought Oh no that
wouldnt work. If this didnt work and that didnt work and the other one didnt work this wouldnt
even work. And then you just somehow youve almost given up and you just say Welll.. it wouldnt hurt
to try that last one. At least to satisfy myself that I didnt leave nothing out. Then you just pushed that
button and it worked!! And you say My goodness I thought about it all the time. Why didnt I do it? Has
that ever happened to you? Do you know in things about life that happens all the time!!! Happens all
the time! Thats why we want to study to find out is there something I could do to effect a change?
There are scriptures that are suggestive that there could possibly be a miracle for you. There may just
be a way out and I want us to look at those scriptures briefly. They are familiar scriptures thing youve
read all your life but they just seems to suggest that there could be a way out. I hope you read them
yourself and make up your own mind. May be a miracle is on the way for you. May be just may be
when you are through studying this well be sure. Is it at all possible? May be just may be. May be its
you this time around a miracle may be knocking at your door.

There is a woman by the name of Sarah and at old age she didnt have a child. She was married to a
man who was now old also and the Bible says that it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
The doctor said bye bye you are gone. You cant have a child anymore. Its too late. They gave up. One
day the old husband was sitting outside
of the tent door and 3 men were
passing by and he ran after them and
said Hey I know you are on a long
journey. So why dont you come and
eat and drink for a while. And they said
Alright! He was talking to 2 angels and
the Lord. They turned in and sat down
and watch what happens here.

Genesis 18:9-16 And they said unto

him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he
said, Behold, in the tent. (10) And he
said, I will certainly return unto thee
according to the time of life; and, lo,
Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. (11)
Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after
the manner of women. (12) Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old
shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? (13) And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore
did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? (14) Is any thing too hard
for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah
shall have a son. (15) Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said,
Nay; but thou didst laugh. (16) And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and
Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.

I love God. Hes not like some people think He is. Sarah laughed. If that would be a man he would have
said Sarah!!! You think I cant hear you? Fire on your head! Fire! Fire!! But the Lord is wonderful.
He doesnt even talk to her. He knows shes behind the door and He knows that shes laughing. And
then He says Abraham, why is your wife laughing? And Sarah freezes right behind the door. Is anything
too hard for the Lord? Is there anything too hard for the Lord? I said you may just be now in the
presence of a miracle. Hallelujah! Is there such a thing too hard for the Lord? The woman laughed.
Then Sarah denied saying I laughed not. And the Lord didnt say In my presence?!? Even while Im
here you are telling lies? Watch what He says No you laughed. And didnt keep on pressing Sarah No
no no.. I cant be waiting. Tell the truth. I want you to understand the kind of God we serve. Hes not

2|Page
like some people try to make
Him look. Hes not as mean
as some people think. God is
wonderful. Some people tell
us Are you trying to give
people an excuse for
sinning? Are you trying to
water down the message? It
is a fearful thing to fall into
the hands of the living God!!!
We all fell into the hands of
the living God and He didnt
burn us. He saved us. The
Bible says Romans 3:23 For
all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. John 3:17 For God sent not His Son into the world
to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. People who preach judgement
they dont know the worth of a human soul. If they knew everyday they would cry on their knees for
those they felt have gone off the way. You can only show that you know God by praying for them. If
you condemn then you dont know Jesus. Look here Sarah denied because she was afraid. The Lord
didnt say Now in the day of judgement you will remember these words. He didnt. Peter denied Jesus
and after the resurrection Jesus sees Peter and Jesus doesnt even remind him of what he did. Jesus
didnt say Simon Im back! I told you Ill come back. He said Simon do you love me? Simon said Yes
Lord I do. And Jesus didnt say Ahhhhh Not again. Once bitten twice shy Simon! Did He say that?
No. What did He do? He gave Peter the responsibility. He doesnt even remind him. The Lord didnt
even say Simon I know what you did but Ive forgiven you anyway. He didnt even talk about it. Love
does not take record of wrongs. Some people have a diary. A woman can take a book and say In 1956,
this was only 7 months after the wedding. I will never forget what he did to me. After the birth of my 3rd
son in 1962.. What the husband did in 56 and 62 and 65. Some men are the same too. They just dont
say theirs. They keep it inside burning inside. You want to be like the Lord Jesus you have to make
some real good changes. To be free. How wonderful is it to be free. Not holding things against people.
When you hold things against people you are bound. You are bound by those things which you hold
against people. You are in greater trouble that people who have offended you. Usually you are more
unhappy than they are. Such people havent known the Lord. He says is there anything too hard for the
Lord? Dont you think by Sarahs laughter that shes saying Dont try to raise my hopes.

You see theres another woman in the Bible and she didnt have a child and she was old and the husband
was old and the prophet was asking his servant What can we do for this woman? And the servant said
Shes rich and shes got everything she wants. The prophet said Try and find out what we can do for
her. The servant came back and said Hey! She doesnt have a child plus that the husband is old. When
the woman came back the prophet said Thus saith the Lord according to the time of life you are going
to have a son. And she said Dont you lie!! Anyway she had a son. As the boy grew up he went out with
his father one day and came back and died. You know what she did? She didnt cry! She just Where is
that prophet? She got the address and went after him. The prophet asked How is it woman? She said
Its well! Prophet asked How is with your husband? She said Its well! Prophet asked How is it with
your son? She said Its well. But come! The prophet went. Then she said Didnt I tell you not to lie to
me?! I was better off without a son now you give me a son and the boy dies. How am I better off now?
Its better not to have than to have and lose it. You know I agree with her. You dont know what it is
to lose it if you have never had it. The prophet said Now I know what the matter is. Woman relax your
boy will live again. Hallelujah! The boy lived. Sometimes it is more comfortable not to have your hopes
raised at all so you just stay in your comfort zone and nobodys trying to stir your nest and telling you
that you can have a better job, telling your family could become something or anything like that. Leave
me where I am. Im alright. No. You are not alright. I want to tell you something about God. God is
looking for opportunities to bless you.

3|Page
2 Chronicles 16:9 For the eyes of the
LORD run to and fro throughout the
whole earth, to shew himself strong
in the behalf of them whose heart is
perfect toward him.

Those whose hearts are after Him.

Hes looking for opportunities to bless
them. What is the opportunity? Every
human need is Gods opportunity to
bless. When you look out for a human
need understand that God wants to
meet that need. The problem is the
invitation. Hes at your door when He
knows you got a problem. Just to let you know that He loves you and wants everything to go well with
you.

Look at the man David. Hes from the family of Jesse. Jesses family wasnt so well to do. They were
an average family but they had a good lineage that could have made them somewhat big but they were
average. The mans an old man now and everybody in town knows among the old men Jesse really goes
for an old man. If you are a notable old
man in town and you have a boy 17
years old what does that suggest? You
probably didnt marry too early.
Because you have a son 17 years old
and its not that you have 20 children.
According to the Bible Jesse was
known to be an old man in town. Now
this young guy is taking care of his
fathers sheep and if there were many
sheep and it were a big business I trust
the eldest son would have been in
charge. The big ones have gone to
school and have joined the army. Now
this young man David is doing this. A
prophet of God announces that from this family God has decided theres going to be King in Israel.
How would you feel, you, tell me how you would you feel if your brother, if you heard tonight 9pm
news on NTA there was an announcement that your brother has just been appointed secretary general
of the United Nations? You already have your Visa!! I know what you are thinking. You are going with
him in his very first trip and you are not coming back! Imagine this Jesses family is not too buoyant
and not too known except for the daddys age and some prophet comes and says The next king of Israel
is coming from this home. You know it will change the status of the family overnight. Can God do such
a thing? You may just be from a family where the highest person the highest level attained so far from
that family is someone who was able to pay for one room where he brought you and your siblings up
and grew old until he went back to the village. Thats the highest in that family. You struggled and
borrowed money and you dont even think that you have a lot of chances for a good job even now you
dont have a job. So you are thinking maybe is it possible that God might just raise you up? What about
in a family where everything was alright. You remember your daddy was super and you had everything
and somewhere down the line he lost he job and couldnt get a better one and you then grew up in
another condition and now things are going down and down and you are now like youve never had
anything in your life. You know that you just dont have nothing. So hard to get food. But you know

4|Page
you have lived somewhere
higher than that before. Things
just went down when daddy lost
his job. Every day the hopes
have gone down. All the friends
are gone now. And you dont
even know what to pray about.
Where do help come from? Is
there a way out? Is it possible?
Im looking at all this? Is it
possible at all? Have you ever
been distracted by your needs.
Here you are you are
worshipping God and you just
love God and learning the word of God and the gifts of the Spirit but every once in a while you get a
distraction hey your finances are not going well you dont have a good job. Has that ever happened to
you?

Let me read you something from the Bible. They may just let you know whether or not is it possible for
things to change. Its a story about a woman Hannah by the name. Every year she went with her family
she was the second wife in the home and every year as they went for the yearly feast and met other
families. You know how some people are they talk about how their children are until you feel like you
better give birth to children now or you die. They talk so much about their children their children their
children oh God. She was living in this condition and they were looking at her and was saying You dry
stick. You couldnt have nothing. No matter what the husband did she couldnt feel anything. She just
said I dont have nothing no matter what my husband gives to me. He couldnt love me without children.
The husband tried and said Hey dont worry you are more to me than anything in the world. And she
said I know you are not telling the truth. One day she broke down. Is there a way out? One day when
everyone was going home she stopped and sneaked out. Went straight to the temple. She fell on her
face before God. It matters you know God for yourself! This woman was fed up all the promises and
sufferings and she broke down there in the presence of God and began to pray. You know the story she
got what she wanted. What I want you to notice is the words that came out of her mouth when that
miracle happened.

1 Samuel 2:1-2 And Hannah prayed, and said, My heart rejoiceth in the LORD, mine horn is
exalted in the LORD: my mouth is enlarged over mine enemies; because I rejoice in thy salvation.
(2) There is none holy as the LORD: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like
our God.

You remember that song? It was written by Hannah!

1 Samuel 2:3-5 Talk no more so

exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy
come out of your mouth: for the
LORD is a God of knowledge, and by
him actions are weighed. (4) The
bows of the mighty men are broken,
and they that stumbled are girded
with strength. (5) They that were full
have hired out themselves for bread;
and they that were hungry ceased: so
that the barren hath born seven; and
she that hath many children is waxed
feeble.

5|Page
You know when God does something for you that
thing is more to you than the multitude of others
somebody has out of natural power. She says the
barren has given birth to seven. As far as shes
concerned this one child is seven for her. And the
one that has many children has become weak and
feeble. Its great when you can shine because God
has been with you. Ok what made me bring you
here is the next verse.

1 Samuel 2:7-8 The LORD maketh poor, and

maketh rich: he bringeth low, and lifteth up. (8) He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth
up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes, and to make them inherit the throne
of glory: for the pillars of the earth are the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them.

He doesnt care how down in the valley you are. He raiseth up the poor out of the dust and lifteth up
the beggar from the dunghill to set them among the princes and make them inherit the glory. He can
bring you out of obscurity. The pillars of the earth belong to the Lord and set the world upon them. If
He can do that He can do anything with your life. Years ago I read these things again and again to
myself. Take this scripture and say it to yourself.

He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the beggar from the dunghill, to set them
among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory

Let us go to the New Testament portion of the Bible. A man whose son had an evil spirit and it was an
epileptic spirit that will cast him into the fire and sometimes into the water. Hell start foaming in his
mouth. He brought the child to Jesus and couldnt find him and brought him to the disciples and they
tried to cast the spirit out and they couldnt. Now Jesus came.

Mark 9:20-23 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare
him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. (21) And he asked his father, How long is
it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. (22) And ofttimes it hath cast him into
the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us,
and help us. (23) Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that
believeth.

Does that include your case? Someone once said Does God heal stomach pains? Or fever? Will God
heal you? You know why she had to ask that question? Because every time you look at the posters and
it says BRING THE BLIND BRING THE DEAF BRING THE LAME. So she thought if my case
is not serious maybe God wouldnt do anything. If it is not very serious God will tell you Go to the
doctor my friend. What do you think? No. There is no small matter. God loves us all. Our challenges
are unique to us as individuals and God responses to us as individuals. When God deals with you He
deals with you as though you are the only one on earth. He never compares you to another. Never. The
only reason God tells us about others is to let us know that if He did it for them Hell do it for you.
Something else I found out in the Bible that even if it is never done to anybody else and you are the first
one to come up on the scene with that kind of unique problem, you will have a unique solution. It was
never heard that anybody wanted to cross the Red Sea but God did it one time first time for somebody.
Even if your case is so new, Hell do it for you.

Luke 1:26-32 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee,
named Nazareth, (27) To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of
David; and the virgin's name was Mary. (28) And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou
that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. (29) And when she

6|Page
saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should
be. (30) And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. (31)
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
(32) He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give
unto him the throne of his father David:

The boy is not even born and the angel says The Lord God shall give him the throne of his father David.
Have you come to believe in God this way? My Papa can do anything. With that consciousness you are
never in a hurry in life. You are not our hustling. Be relaxed. The Bible says that those who have entered
into His rest have ceased from their struggles. There is that confidence that goes in you by the power
of Gods Spirit that gives you that which you desire. They just cant but give it to you. You show up
and they just give it to you. Ahh its you pleasure doing business. The other guy comes and Please
whatever you can do please. Ive been out of job for 5 years! I dont know what to do. Please. Never go
in that direction. God doesnt like it. If my Lord cant give it to me nobody can give it to me. But He
can do anything. And if He wouldnt give it to me, I dont want it.

Luke 1:34-37 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? (35)
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power
of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee
shall be called the Son of God. (36) And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a
son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. (37) For with God
nothing shall be impossible.

Even the angel is bragging on the power of

God! Watch it! Look even your cousin right
now is 6 months pregnant thats the
woman they said was barren! Go check her
now. Me and God just got through with her.

Thats Gabriel talking. You have to brag on

the power of God. That devil says You are
not going to get it. And you say Hey shut
up! Shut up! Shut up! Go check out David
and find out how he got it. Check out Abraham Isaac and Jacob.

Mark 11:13-14 & 20-24 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might
find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs
was not yet. (14) And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever.
And his disciples heard it. (20) And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree
dried up from the roots. (21) And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold,
the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. (22) And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have
the faith of God. (23) For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be
thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that
those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. (24) Therefore
I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye
shall have them.

How would you feel if when you were coming to church on Sunday morning you saw me outside the
gate pointing at a tree and talking to it? Some of you would wonder whats gone wrong! The disciples
were alarmed. Jesus spoke out loud. Not talking in his mind. He said Tree, nobody will eat from you
anymore. No more fruit. Disciples heard it and Jesus went his way. Next morning they saw the fig tree
dried up from the roots.

(23) For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and
be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which
he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. (24) Therefore I say unto you,
What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
When do you believe that you received? When you see? No! When you pray. When you pray you
believe that you received them. And you shall have them. Notice Jesus didnt say What things soever
ye desire believe that you receive them. Thats not what He said. What things soever ye desire, when ye
pray, believe that ye receive them.
Your future is in your hands. You better believe it. Trouble is if you dont believe it - you wouldnt do
anything about it. Its not enough to believe that God is going to do something. You have to do
something. Someone said God works in mysterious ways His wonders to perform. No! God doesnt
work in mysterious ways. The Bible never says that. Its the devil that works in mysterious ways. Gods
not mysterious to His children. He has given us an understanding to know the mysteries of the kingdom
of God. To be mysterious is to be strange. Not to be understood. Nobody knows what you are up to.
Thats just like the devil.
You dont need to know whats going to happen to you in future so that you can change things or get
ready for those things. Your future walks in you.

There are many people who think that one day God is going to do something about their case. Its
wonderful to think like that because it helps them to escape responsibility. Now you can relax on your
recliner and put all responsibility on God. The Bible doesnt say if Pastor Chris shall say unto this
mountain. Put your name there. Your life is in your hand. You cant blame anybody now. No matter
how deep the valley is you can come out.
Some say Sometimes God takes us into trouble. Those things are not true. The Bible doesnt say When
I take you through the fire you shall not be burnt. He said When you go through the fire...
God put me in that trouble to show the devil who He is. The devil already knows who God is. Dont
you understand? Why is God using us as lab rats?
All the time. The Lord brought me here for a purpose!
Yeah!
You got fired from your job for a purpose!
You failed your exams for a purpose!
Your wife left you for a purpose!
Your child died for a purpose!
Oh my God What a purpose!
So Gods just playing games. He puts you here and gets the devil to run after you and traps the devil
again. Who do you think He really is? We explain many things and thats the reason many dont have
miracles because they have every answer for every purpose. Its for a purpose you lost your job. 5 years
God is still working for that purpose.
Its like Im praying for that child this year and the child doesnt show up thats for a purpose! So
God is planning twins for the 2 years. I claim twins in Jesus name. One child for each year. And that
year goes by and Lord triplets in Jesus name. So now they are believing for 5 because its 5 years now.

8|Page
Im not so sure that every time that
husband prays that the wife is saying
Amen. 5 at once!! Im sure she stopped
praying with you after 2. She stopped
saying Amen.
You know what people are trying to
do? They are trying to blame God for
it. They are claiming from God what
God didnt give them last year. Its all
wrong. If it didnt worked the way you
knew why dont you try and find out
the way it works. You are too proud to
say I was wrong. There are too many people talking about faith who dont even know what faith is. The
word of God can be proved. Prove all things. Hold fast that which is good. You have to prove it. I dare
tell people if I cant prove it you have the right not to believe. I was sent with credentials. I cant say
God sent me and cant prove it. Anybody can say that!!
I believe that the devil is a real person and God is a real God. When Bible talks about angels they are
real and when the Bible talks about miracles they can be proved. I believe that. Cant be talking and
talking. When you say God heals the sick ok there are many sick people prove it. Sometimes some
people dont like it but you know in your soul you know it. Inside you, you know it. Truth is actually
you like what Im saying if only you could prove it. Why cant you prove it? Because you are busy all
over the place busy playing busy shouting and busy singing songs you shouldnt be singing and
watching films you shouldnt watch and you have no time to talk to the Holy Spirit and let him teach
you. You are busy reading everything but the Bible and reading your mind into the Bible and trying to
make the Bible say what you want to say. So all you can come up with is excuses. Some Christians get
sick and they hide it. Im not sick Im tired. Where is brother Daniel? He is very tired! Why cant he
just come up straight? If I did get sick I would say Im sick. But Im not going to get sick Ive not
been sick for many years and I will not be sick. Sure!
Did you know you really could change things? You say I believed and I tried. Stop for a moment. Is it
possible that there is something you missed something that was so important. Why dont you stop and
think again and study again through the Bible. We learn the word of God in different phases spiritually.
We learn it in our babyhood stage, then adolescent stage and our fatherhood stage. None of these is
limited to how long youve been in there. Its how long youve been in the word. Its not how long
youve been born again. How long have you been in the word studying and putting it into work and
growing thereby and in the process of time through the Holy Spirit you will learn a lot of things. No
man can really teach you but by the Holy Ghost. Dealing with issues of life we have to understand what
Jesus said is real.

(22) And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have the faith of God. (23) For verily I say unto you,
That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and
shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass;
he shall have whatsoever he saith. (24) Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire,
when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Have you come to the point in
your life that you can deal with
any particular issue? Have you
gained the confidence that no
matter what you face you can
change it? Nothing shakes you
anymore! You just know that
you can change it. Thats what
God wants from us. He doesnt
want a victim. He wants us to be
in charge. Nothing can destroy
you except the ones you let.
What a place to be.

Matthew 17:14-18 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man,
kneeling down to him, and saying, (15) Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore
vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. (16) And I brought him to thy
disciples, and they could not cure him. (17) Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and
perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither
to me. (18) And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from
that very hour.

Next time you see someone

epileptic think about this. No
need to say he was born that
way. No! The Bible says Jesus
rebuked the devil and he
departed out of him and the
child was cured from that hour.
Epilepsy is caused by the devil.
Id rather believe Jesus. No
matter what the books say. If He
rebuked the devil it can happen
today. Thats what you ought to
do. Put your hand on that boy
and say You devil of epilepsy come out in the name of Jesus!
Matthew 17:19-20 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him
out? (20) And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have
faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place;
and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Tell them about unbelief? Its not easy to accept. For Matthew, Andrew, Philip?
Why couldnt you get it? Because of your unbelief! You may not like it. Stop making excuses for
yourself. A lot of times things are so spiritualised that the message loses its power because you have all
the answers. Be bold enough to go into the Bible and find out why it didnt work so that the next time
you will have it. Im not afraid to make a mistake. If I did make a mistake Id go to it. I didnt write it.
I will go back to the Bible and find out how it will work next time.

If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder
place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

I havent met someone yet who has not had an exciting life and hasnt had this scripture in his life.
When you have this in your life your life will always be exciting. Nothing shall be impossible unto you!
How then can your soul be cast down? When you have this you are ready for anything and you are
confident. Every day you are on top. You have the note of victory in your voice. Even when you have
one pair of trousers and one shirt. When you are ready to get out you press that thing you have the whole
world. You look like the whole world is yours. Nothing shall be impossible unto you. You are not
posing for anybody you just have confidence in your soul. Knowing who you are. Happy about you
thats all. You dont feel you are defeated or behind anybody. Behind who? When nothing shall be
impossible unto you.
A new policy comes you think someone is witch hunting you. Does it matter? You can change things.
They may say people like you dont qualify. You say it doesnt matter I just change the rules. Amen.
They say We only give promotions every 2 years. I just change the rules. Why? Psalms 75:6-7 For
promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. (7) But God is the
judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

Promotion comes from God. The very fact they say you cant is the reason you should. Nothing shall
be impossible to you. You think this is a joke?
Ill tell you what to do. Tonight you just say Nothing shall be impossible unto me. Anything is possible!
Then get into meditation of what you have to deal with first. Write it down in a book. Nothing shall be
impossible unto you and then face it. Anything is possible. Its between you and the Word. Forget the
others around you. You live for God.
I cant trust people to pray for me. I know there are people praying for me but I dont know what they
are saying. Somebody may be saying O God straighten him up! Who knows? But I can trust me because
I know what I say when I say. I dont rest on their prayers.
