All Things Are Possible (Untangled from Doubt) - Elevate Your Day with Andi and Brian Hale

I discovered the keys to untangling from doubt as I cried out to God in frustration. As I studied Luke Chapter 1, fresh faith poured into my heart. For no word from God will ever fail. – Luke 1:37 NIV We needed a different strategy! I had been begging God to come and fix my problem when He had already given me everything we needed to overcome. His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. – 2 Peter 1:3 NIV He gave me these keys, and they are available to you too. Dear friend, I don’t know what circumstances you are facing today, but I know God cares deeply about everything affecting His beloved children. He is not slow in answering your prayers. He is waiting for you to come into the knowledge of who He has created you to be. Once you realize who you are, and the authority you have as a child of God, you will discover a world where all things are indeed possible for you. You will get untangled from doubt. Let’s Pray: Heavenly Father, We thank you that nothing is impossible for you. You never change. Your heart toward us is always good. Your plans for us are for good and not for evil, to give us a future and a hope. I pray for the person who is reading this Bible plan today. You know every impossibility they are facing. I pray that they will have eyes to see that You have given them everything they need to bring forth salvation in every situation. Thank you for your Word. Thank you, Holy Spirit. In Jesus Name Amen

An Impossible Situation (Untangled From Doubt) - Elevate Your Day with Andi and Brian Hale

For nothing will be impossible with God. – Luke 1:37 ESV Has your heart ever been tangled up in doubt and unbelief? You want to stay in faith, but you just can’t seem to marry up the hours of praying and declaring with the results you are seeing in the flesh? When you find yourself without a job and you just don’t have enough money to make it to the end of the month. When you are sitting in the doctor’s office and receive the diagnosis with the caveat that there is no cure. When you get a phone call telling you your teenager who you have been praying for has been arrested for another DUI. Have you found yourself shouting at God in sheer frustration: “You said nothing is impossible, Father! What is going on here? Where is the breakthrough we have been praying for?” It was in a moment of frustration that I cried out to God. I got out my Amplified Classic Edition and pointed to Luke 1:37 saying: “Look, Father! You said nothing is impossible for you. Why are we not seeing breakthrough in this situation?“ The Holy Spirit gently nudged me to look at the second part of this verse: “…for no word from God is ever without power or impossible of fulfillment.” Revelation flooded my heart in that instant. The answer I was looking for was contained within these words. I began studying it closer and discovered three keys that untangled me from doubt. Over the next few days, I will share these keys with you.

What Does The Resurrection Mean? (He is Risen) - Elevate Your Day with Andi and Brian Hale

From He Is Risen! The Reality of the Resurrection by Daniel Kolenda And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. But he did not raise him if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. – 1 Corinthians 15:14-20 NIV In 1 Corinthians 15, the Apostle Paul, himself a witness of the resurrected Christ, imagined the implications of a reality in which Jesus has not risen. It’s a chilling passage that paints a picture of a bleak and hopeless world. He said that if Jesus is still dead, preaching and faith are useless, the disciples are false witnesses, we are all still in our sins, the dead are gone forever, and those who believe are the most pitiful of all people. But then, in Verse 20, Paul changed the tone with this amazing declaration that makes all the difference: “But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead” (NIV). Early Christians would greet one another with Paul’s words! In place of “hello,” a believer would say, “Christ is risen,” and the other would respond, “He is risen indeed!” Jesus Christ did rise from the grave! He is risen indeed! The resurrection was God’s supernatural vindication of what Jesus did for us. It means Jesus is exactly who He claimed to be—the Son of God, sent into the world so we could have forgiveness, full and free. The resurrection means God accepted Jesus’ death in our place on the cross. It means Jesus was ultimately victorious over sin, death, hell, and the grave. Because death couldn’t hold Him, because sin has no power over Him, and because Jesus is alive, we have great hope in Him! The Bible says, “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Peter 1:3). That hope is “an anchor of the soul” (Hebrews 6:19).
