Son, does the Lord God have to place you into the impossible task in order to get to acquiesce to his Sovereignty?  Does being placed in a situation that is beyond your control totally freak you out, leave you bitter, whining or frustrated?  Is there a set of things you avoid because they are outside your understanding, command and control or leverage?  Is the Lord calling you to the impossible task that He alone may accomplish?

Take a breath, wait, let that pulse settle a moment.  Contemplate the reason and reality of my argument before you pronounce me with ad-hominem assault.  If you can do it with your skills and abilities, why then do you need the Lord?  If you can do it with your gifts, talents and treasure, couldn’t it be your plan substituted for something that would truly bring him glory?  How would people see God in your achievements if they are just the great achievements of a talented person?  Oh, the fact that I am not those names you’ve used for me is beginning to dawn upon you.  However, I would wear the monikers if in fact it would allow you to get closer to God or to see the basis for his positioning you against the impossible.  Isn’t your purpose to be used as a tool to demonstrate the Glory of God through you and in you?  Isn’t the greatest evidence of that indwelling a person accomplishing something beyond their standing, talent, station or capacity?

I can’t do it, but I know who can.  I don’t want to do it but I will to demonstrate my obedient love for my Father who has commanded it of me.  I cannot even imagine having the courage to stand where he asks me, carrying with me what he bids me bring and speaking the Words He has given me, never mind actually step out and accomplish it.  I fear, I falter, I am not sufficient, but none of that matters except in the formulation of my next excuse or reason for not acting on the Holy Spirit’s prompting.  Of course I am not sufficient to God’s tasks, but I will stand in good courage in the knowledge that he still will use me to accomplish the impossible.  I will Glorify his name even unto death so that others might be set free from the prison of sin and hades.  In the impossible you will see him, not me, which is something I have prayed and prayed and prayed for.

Lord here I am fully aware that I am inadequate in every way but the ways that matter to you.  Give me something so incredibly hard that those around me can never again deny your participation in my life when I achieve great blessings in your name.  Give me the Giants, for I want to take back the high ground, fortified, stolen principalities that may only truly belong to your beloved.  Give me the weaponry of Spirit proper to the taking down of strongholds and setting captives free.  I will go in love, not in fear, knowing how much you care for me and have prepared a place for me at your feet.  I believe and will walk accordingly in Your Name, with your praises dancing from my lips.  Jesus My King.
