"You were born for the impossible!" Bill Johnson. When we were born again into the Kingdom of God, it is now deep in our DNA to look for the impossible and see it bow it's knee to Jesus Christ. There is something about facing the impossible that removes our ability to live from an orphan heart successfully. We must be connected to Jesus and the eternal realm before we can see happen what only God is capable of bringing about. As I prayed for a woman that had a 2 inch mass in her ovary I immediately felt how truly small I was, yet His Spirit in me was saying that this mass must go. Living from an orphan heart I would never have any expectation that a 2 inch mass should disappear from this person's body, who was I to expect such a miracle. As a son of the Most High God, it would be normal for me to expect the impossible to bow it's knee to the power of the God of miracles and the Healer. Since we are "in Christ" it is normal for us to see the works He did by the power of the Holy Spirit, happen through us by the power of the Holy Spirit. When we face things in our world that are difficult or just take effort, it is very easy for us to rely on an orphan heart to be our power source. Yet when we face the impossible we are immediately humbled, put in a place of dependency, and are small. I believe this is why healings, miracles, and the impossibilities must be the life of every believer. How are you going to strive and perform to see a 2 inch mass disappear? This is why as crazy as it may sound, I love the hopeless situations that require that if there is not a big God then it won't change. It is the mundane and normal things of life that suck me back into to depending on an orphan heart or religious ways to see it come about. Could it be that miracles and healings are a place that we learn dependency, so that we can live from this place of continual communion with the Lord?
When I look at the giant that I face, "How to see leaders in the Body of Christ encounter the Father's love and be transformed into their true identity as sons and daughters" I am immediately under a huge weight when I live from an orphan heart. As a little boy connected to the most wonderful and biggest Dad around, it is actually something that can happen. The enemy seeks to work on by saying, "You don't know the Father's Love, how are you going to bring others into that reality. You are the most unqualified person to lead this ministry, since your father died when you were 6." There are elements of truth in these lies. Yet I answered this call to bring Father's Love to leaders because I know that God loves to take the foolish things of the world (a fatherless man to bring the Father's love) to shame the wise. I am a perfect target for His grace because I am desperate need (His power is made perfect in our weakness). What impossibilities is God calling you to run straight at today, from a place of humble dependence?
It is in your DNA as a son or daughter of God to not only face the impossible but to see it bow it's knee to Jesus. Will you like Gideon, Moses, Abraham, and the disciples go straight into the impossible storm believing only that God will overcome?
