A People of the Impossible

With Bishop Ronald K. Powell

For with God nothing shall be impossible.Luke 1:37

Jesus said unto him, if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. Mark 9:23

I- A People of the Impossible must think Like God.

1- You must have the mind of Christ – 1 Cor. 2:15-16

2- A Transformed mind – Romans 12:2

3- A Renewed Mind – Ephesians 4:23-24

4- A transferred Mind – Phil 2:5-6  Let/allow this mind to be in you

II- A People of the Impossible must have the kind of relationship that Jesus had with the
Father.

For whosoever shall do the will of my father which is heaven the same is my brother and sister and mother. Matt 15:5

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will
enter. Matthew 7:21

What is the will of God?

This is the purpose, desire, wish, volition, inclination, and determination.

In other words it is what the mind of God is disposed to.

Jesus did nothing of Himself – John 5:19 -20

In Him we live and move and have our Being – Acts 17:28

It is not I who live, but Christ lives in me (Galatians 2:20).

Closing:

“How can two walk together unless they agree? “Amos 3:3

Try reading the above list every day for a month, preferably out loud. The more you know who you are in
Christ, the more your behavior will reflect your true identity.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Romans 12:2

To live an effective Christian life you need to KNOW and BELIEVE who you are in Christ. Understanding your
identity in Christ is crucial to living life as God intended.

The best way to renew your mind and experience inner transformation is by knowing, thinking  and speaking out loud who you are in Christ.

Train yourself to say the same things that God says in His word. Become who you ALREADY ARE in Christ.

God wants to do more in your life than you imagine. He wants you to become a people of the Impossible.
