Bible Verse of The Day – 10-8-18

Matthew 19:26 (NKJV) 26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

It was April, 1970. I was 7 years old.

I woke up on a Sunday morning and noticed that I was having trouble breathing. Every time I took a breath, it wasn’t only hard to do, but it also sounded funny. It made strange squeaking, whistling noises.

It was something I had never experienced before. But it was something that I would live with for the next 30 years.

My parents took me to the doctor. It was asthma, we were told. It was incurable, we were told. And we left it at that. For 30 years.

But God had other plans. He knew the truth of it all.

With men, this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

I carried the lie. I struggled with asthma attacks, tried so many different kinds of medication, went through so many medical tests. For 30 years.

My life was limited by what I carried. I couldn’t live my life to its fullest potential. My sports activities were limited. My social activities were limited. And eventually, my interactions with my wife and my children were limited by this lie.

But then one day God spoke directly to my spirit. He told me that I had bought a lie, and that this lie didn’t have to control me any longer.

And I believed Him. I believed what He told me. And He set me free from that lie. Forever.

God told me that I could be free from this prison cell called Asthma. He offered me the key, and I reached for it with everything in me! And He used that key to unlock the prison cell and set me free from it. After 30 years.

God healed my body, set me free, and delivered me from this spirit of infirmity. That was over 18 years ago, and I have never looked back.

The doctors told me it was impossible. But with God, all things are possible.

What is your prison today? Sickness? Emotional struggles? Poverty? Depression? Anger? Bitterness?

There could be an endless list. But God knows them all. Every single one. And He knows which one is holding you prisoner.

What’s more, He holds the key that can set you free from it.

It’s up to us to reach out, take that key, and then follow the steps that God places before us.

Those steps lead to freedom, in the name of Jesus.

It’s up to us. We can believe the lie, or we can believe Him who holds the key.

With men, this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
