All of us have a degree of natural faith. There is just something about having natural faith. There is something about believing in the natural that you can make it. But, you see, it's another thing when you believe what God says. We need to understand that we all have a natural faith, and that natural faith is very important if we're going to succeed. No one has ever succeeded - no one has ever been a success in life - who did not believe in himself or herself to some extent.

If I didn't believe I could preach, I wouldn't get behind the pulpit on Sunday mornings and preach. Now certainly, believing in myself is only part of it. The other part of it is, I am depending upon the anointing of the Spirit of God.

But part of it is human. I mean, I am not merely a spirit preaching. I am flesh and bone and blood preaching! Yes, I am spirit on the inside. But we are involved from a human standpoint, a natural standpoint, and we need to understand that.

There is always the natural human faith, and it's one thing to believe that we can do it. But then there is the faith that believes God and what He says in Philippians 4:13: "I can do everything through him who gives me strength."

You need to learn how to allow the Spirit of God to quicken your mortal body. You do it by believing that you can do all things, that you can do everything. And then you get up, go out, and you start doing! This is your highway to success! Everything includes everything! Every circumstance, every problem.

In the New Testament, Paul talks about how many times he was beat, how many times he was in the ocean, and how many times he was left for dead. Through all of these adverse circumstances, Paul turns around, and says, "I thank my God that I always triumph"(2 Cor. 2:14).

You see, Paul understood that there are going to be some problems. But he also believed what Israel's songbook and prayer book, the Psalms, said, "Many are the afflictions, trials, and tribulations of the righteous: but the Lord delivers him out of them all" (Ps. 34:19).

There is no such thing as an impossible situation, because with God it's possible! It only becomes impossible when you or I allow it to become that way. In other words, we determine what is impossible and what is not impossible. If we believe what God's Word says, then nothing is impossible.

If we say, "Well, yeah, everything can be taken care of but this," then it can't be taken care of. Because, even though God has the power to do it, we have blocked Him from doing it. Therefore it does become impossible, because with our mouth we have blocked the power of God from working on our behalf.

But if we learn how to believe God, and understand God's Word correctly, it is not an impossible situation. If you want to experience the power of God - the delivering power of God and the blessing power of God - in your life every day, then there is one word that you must eliminate from your vocabulary: "Impossible."

When life gets rough, and when everything says that it's impossible, you can recognize the fact that it is humanly impossible. But, remember, your case does not rest with flesh and blood. Your case rests with the Almighty God, and with the power that raised Christ from the dead!

I want to challenge you to walk in your rights, walk in your privileges, and to not be moved by what you see. Be not moved by what you feel. Be not moved by those things around you. Only be moved by what God's Word says. And God's Word says you can do everything though Him Who strengthens you. Remember that when it's impossible with man, it's possible with God. You must learn to simply say, "I believe God." Period.

Receive what belongs to you through the power of God. God will deliver you and set you free. When you begin to live a life of, "I believe You, God," then you can be free of anything and everything that is bogging you down and causing you problems.

I want you to understand that there is nothing that you can't accomplish. There is nothing that you can't conquer. There is nothing that can come your way that you can't overcome. You can do everything through Him Who strengthens you. There is nothing impossible with God!
