There are things in life we know are humanly impossible.
Beginning in Biblical times, infertile women like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachael, Hannah and Elizabeth had babies despite the label. In many cases, with hearts breaking and great sorrow some of these women cried out to God and the impossible happened after years of waiting.. Through the miraculous blessing of God they produced sons that changed their world. Even the mother of Samson who remains unnamed, was infertile but by God’s grace brought forth a son. He was so strong and undefeatable. He removed an enemy nation from his land.

Most profoundly, in Mary’s case, A Virgin conceived and by the Holy Spirit."To conceive a child without any involvement of a man is and always will be impossible. Yet God is the God of the impossible. He is the one who invented the laws of nature. He can circumvent them if he chooses. If conceiving apart from a man was impossible enough, this child would not only be a human, but he would be God"

So what is happening today in our world that we consider humanly impossible?

In many nations conversion to Christianity is impossibly risky because of the personal consequences. Yet, hearts and lives are being saved in pagan nations that hate Jesus and Chrisitianity. Bibles are being smuggled in. Despite persecution,secret underground churches are growing by leaps and bounds. Converts suffer unbearable persecution, oppression and punishment. In many cases they face death, churches are burnt down and children captured.

OpenDoors reports that ‘In Iran, any Muslim who leaves Islam faces a charge of apostasy, and can be thrown in jail or worse.. Nearly all churches that held services have been closed in recent years and their leaders were arrested yet Iranian Christians are witnessing one of the "fastest growing underground church movements" in the world”
Yet God’s word is going forth despite great opposition.

So, how are we doing in the West?”
Viewpoints vary. Many ministries and preachers report positively while the popular press says the church is dying. No matter what the media says the church will never die; that is impossible because we are the Body of Christ. A deeply impossible concept of sinful man turning to Christ is happening. God is changing the hearts of unbelievers and they are being saved.

The Words of Jesus assures us.
{Matthew 16:17-18 (ESV)} And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock. I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Finally, we know that our God is the God of the impossible. His Word never fails. He has proven Himself faithful to His Word and His promises to his people from Creation.
