Nothing you Propose Shall be Impossible for You: ”
Grace and peace be unto you, from God our Father, and from the LORD Jesus Christ. Beloved, today we have embarked on our journey of our 21-day fast. It is day one (1), and this journey seems daunting. Today I would like to encourage your hearts. The beginning of a thing always seems impossible or even crazy because when you begin there is no fruit to encourage you. All you have to hold to is your hope, and let’s face it, sometimes that seems like a pipe dream. We as Christian believers have operated in hope for a long time, and are probably used to it. Today I would like to encourage you with a word from God. After the flood in Noah’s time his family repopulated the earth and began to build. The text in Genesis tells us that they wanted to build to stay close together and not be apart, but God wanted them to populate the whole earth. In this narrative we glean a truth that God gives us to encourage our hearts. In verse 6 God makes an observation about there beginnings.
NRSV
Gen. 11:6 And the LORD said, ‘Look, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.
God says about their beginnings that because they speak ‘one language'(KJV), nothing that they propose to do will be impossible for them. Imagine going into this fast with the knowledge that nothing that you desire to do will be impossible for you. Here is a thought, if God says to me in this word, that nothing that I propose to do will be impossible to me, (and he does) then my first reaction would be to check my purpose. I need to make sure that I propose to do some miraculous things this year, and expect a positive end. Beloved do not go into this journey with only the mundane needs before the LORD. Purpose in your heart to do incredible things for the year 2010. Be led by the Holy Spirit, to ask God for and purpose to do the impossible. Redefine your boundaries, and push the limits on 2010. Think about it. Instead of just wanting to earn a few extra dollars, purpose in your heart to own your own business and determine for yourself how much money you want. Instead of moving into an apartment closer to work, believe God for a house. Instead of determining to help a friend, get involve in ministry at your church, and help build the Kingdom. What am I saying? Think big, and take the limits off of what you propose to do. Why? Because nothing that you propose to do will be impossible for you, if you are speaking one language. What language is it that the believer engages in? The language of Faith. Remember the word of God:
NRSV
Prov. 18:20 From the fruit of the mouth one’s stomach is satisfied;
the yield of the lips brings satisfaction.
Prov. 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love it will eat its fruits.
Faith also says this:
KJV
Phil. 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Beloved, speak one language through out this fast, and let that language be the language of faith, and God says nothing that you propose to do will now be impossible for you. This is the word of the LORD unto you.
Beloved, remember do one day at a time. Just get through today. Do not concern yourself on how you will fast for 21 days; just do today, tomorrow will take care of itself. Drink plenty of water, at least 8 to 10 glasses today. Do more if you can.
This year I would like to welcome to the blog site my friend Pastor Maurice Johnson and the Beth-Car Church. As a son of Archbishop Wilbert McKinley, Pastor Johnson and I have been leading our churches on the 21-day fast for a few years now. This year Beth-Car will be tuning into the daily blogs. Also Pastor Johnson has consented to be a guest blogger this year, and I personally want to thank him. Also one of my sons, Isaac Caldero will be a guest blogger. We will be hearing from him, and I cannot wait. And of course, my awesome wife, Pastor Dorothy Colon will be bringing us a blog weekly. I am looking forward to this fast, and this year. I cannot prove it, but I feel in my spirit that God is going to do some incredible things through us.
The LORD bless you and keep you.
Yours because I am His
