It is possible but is it probable?

For the mere possibility of something happening good or bad is so large that the chances are they will happen. There are many questions surrounding the issue and I am still battling through quite an important so called “opportunity”.

Its possible: Anything is possible with Jesus Christ said many times in the Bible and we all know it. Here is a verse;

Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, with men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

So theres our biblical background on that. The time of when they can and will happen is determinable only by God for He controls all things.

Its probable: We come to luck and chance. Whether or not something will happen determines on how close we hold it to our hearts and how, this is all good providing that you believe in luck and chance, I personally don’t.

We learn about in mathematics the probability of doing something or of getting something right. Whether it is likely for something to happen also is determined by how much faith you have and how much you trust, and whether your trust is in the correct place plays a role.

In Jeremiah 17:5 it talks about putting your trust in the right places and that trusting in man you will fail, but trusting in God you will succeed.

When we pray for things, even thing which aren’t bygones or little things and are actually really important to you, friends, family or whatever, I always seem to think, it will happen, theres no way this cannot be God’s will, I mean wouldn’t God want someone to get saved?

It is really the world pulling a blanket over eyes. Yes seriously, we pray for things and the world says, “We don’t see anything happening, therefore there is no God.”

We must not fall into the trap of doubting; it is what satan wants us to do. If we don’t see manifestations in people immediately we mustn’t think that nothing is happening and that our prayers are ineffectual or that we are inadequate.

We must believe that it is happening that’s where the faith comes in, pray with confidence. Then we think, but I do all that why don’t I see things happening?

When we pray for peoples salvation or for getting people to witness to them, people will plant seeds without you knowing and that can ultimately lead to their salvation.

So we must not feel disconsolate when we see nothing happening, it is not outside distinctions which are changing it is the inside. Once the inside has started to develop we will see changes in the outside appearance and deeds of that person.

1 Corinthians 12:7 - the spirits manifestation is shown in some way in each person for the good of all.

Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ who strengths me.

As a result all things are possible with God and we can do all things through Jesus Christ who lives in and strengthens us. And if we believe all things are probable to happen.

Keep that with you and you can defeat the world just like Jesus did.
