How many of you feel God has
called you to do something that is
absolutely impossible? That was
the question I asked a group of
ministers one time. The number
of hands raised in response was
many. Almost every one of them felt
God had called them to do something they
didn't have the ability to do.
Chances are, if you've been seeking
God and asking Him to show you His
plan for your life, you've run into the very
same thing. Whether you are called to the
fi vefold ministry, or to serve in some other
capacity in the Body of Christ, the vision
God has given you is most likely something
completely out of reach. Something
bigger than you ever dreamed you
could do.
If that's the case, I want to
encourage you today. I want to
share something God told me years
ago that took a great deal of pressure
o¤ me in the area of ministry. It was this:
Everything God calls us to do is impossible
to men.
Now, doesn't that make you feel better?
It did me. When God said that to me, I
suddenly realized He didn't expect me to
know how to do His work. He didn't expect
me to have the natural ability or strength to
accomplish it.

"Don't try to fi gure
out all the things
you need to do and
how to do them.
Just listen day by day,
take one step at a time,
and you will come to
the place where God
wants you to be."
