We are walking in today:  We Serve A Specialist Of The Impossible!

Acts 12:1-19 1) Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church.  2) And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. 3) And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)  4) And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.  5) Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.  6) And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.  7) And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.  8) And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.  9) And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.  10) When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.  11) And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the LORD hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews. 12) And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.  13) And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.  14) And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate. 15) And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel. 16) But Peter continued knocking: and when they had opened the door, and saw him, they were astonished.  17) But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go shew these things unto James, and to the brethren. And he departed, and went into another place.  18)Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers, what was become of Peter. 19) And when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea, and there abode.  God specializes in the seemly impossible!  When life seems impossible--God gives us hope.  When every thing looks hopeless, God brings deliverance.  Ephesians 3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.  Trust  is the antidote to the poison from unanswered questions.  So when you search through Acts 12:1-4 you will find out that trust is the antidote to the poison from unanswered questions.  That's why we trust in the Lord!  Life's unanswered questions are always examined by God and explained by God.  Prayer is the antidote to the poison from impossible situations.  Look at verses 5-11 we know that when everything else fails prayer is our avenue through the impossible to the possible.  You have got to realize that we serve the God who makes the impossible, possible!  He specializes in all the things that we can't do!  Prayer is never a substitute for the effort.  In verse 10 we see that we are gonna have to walk through this.  Even the things that would keep you in bondage are subject to Him and His power!!  The iron gate opened of it's own accord!  We serve a specialist!  See it for yourself.   Prayer does not remove the responsibility, retrospect is often required to discern God's providence.  Verse 11, expectancy is the antidote to the poison of paralysis of doubt.  You have to expect God to show up and move on your behalf.  Verses 12-19 we see how He shows up in such a mighty and awesome way!  Too often we as believers can't believe that God  is gonna deliver us out.  We don't expect Him to do it.  So too often we limit our progress by the limitation we set in our prayers--based on what we think God would do.  Unbelief keeps the doors locked.  But God specializes in the impossible!  Got any rivers, that you think are uncrossable?!  God specializes.  Got any mountains you can't tunnel through?!  God specializes.  Our God specializes in the things that we thought were impossible.  He can do all things!  All things means that there is no limit, only the limit that we set in our faith.  Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.  Many of us believe that He is, now we must stay in trust of Him and take off the limitations!  Our God is mightier and stronger than every person on the planet!!  We must no longer apply man's abilities to God!!  He can do all things, but do you believe that He can do all that He desires!?  Will you stand in agreement with God?  Like Jabez, he did not limit God, he said, bless me indeed, keep Your hand with me that evil may not grieve me.  What if God wants to bless you more than your limitation?!  Luke 12:32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.   Like most caring parents, our Heavenly Father wants to do much for us, His children.  We are washed and accepted in the beloved!  Why would He hold back any good thing from us!  Trust Him and His perfect love for you!  We serve a God that can do things no one else can do!  Get yourself out of the way, fiveamprayer, let God bless you!  Sometimes you have to call on a higher power, You, Lord.  Sometimes you have got to call on  the one that can bring you out!  Sometimes you have got  to call on the only one who anchors your soul and equips you to run in this race.  sometimes you have to know, that you know, that you know!  God specializes in anything that you need.  Anything that you want.  Anything that you need to be delivered out of!  God specializes--look at Peter behind bars and under heavy guard--but God sends a angel to deliver him out.  There is nothing too hard for Him!  No situation that He is not able to handle--flawlessly!  No circumstance that God is not able to rescue you from.  I'm talking about true healing in your body!  A God that specializes, in the name of Jesus!  Sometimes when you get the doctor's report they will send you to a specialist.  Cause by His stripes we are already healed!!  Right now there is healing going on down in Florida!  Our God specializes in what no other power can do.  This God we serve can do all things!  He is our maker out of no way!   Fiveamprayer, keep walking and trusting in the word of God.  He never fails!  My God specializes in what no one else can do!  The same God that got up on the third day with all power in His hands.  So you can tell someone else it what all God!  Tell them how He showed up and brought you out!  The God that we serve is a specialist--He turns a mess into a masterpiece.  Late in the midnight hour God is turning it around.  In the midst of all hell breaking loose, we have a specialist that gives us rest, peace and comfort.  He said this year we will see!  We have a specialist-- Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Tsidkenu, Emmanuel, El Shaddai--we have a God that never sleeps or slumbers.  God is not surprised--He knew that you would be in the place that you are in.  That is how you know that we serve a specialist!!  To be able to specialize there is more knowledge and understanding and skill required.  There is a higher level of power and authority recognized by the specialist.  In the world, they are only sent the cases or situations that the regular means can not meet.  More authority, more power, more knowledge, more understanding--sounds like the Almighty, to me!  We serve a specialist!  He is an escape artist, the Israelites crossing over the Red Sea, Peter who was bound with a guard on each side and one guard sleeping at the door.  Thank You God for showing up with this word this morning!!  This is a testimony for those of us looking at a situation that has no way out!  We must go to the specialist--who is a maker out of no way!  That there is nothing too hard for Him!  Many cases that make it to the specialist appear hopeless, but we know that our hope springs eternal when we rest on God!  He will never leave us nor forsake us!  He will bring us out, set us free, revive, restore, renew us!  Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possibleIsaiah 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure.  Specialist usually attend more schooling to learn advanced techniques, more focused study on one specific area.  The God we serve has all the advanced techniques and focused study in every area--being the Creator of all things, He knew first which was yet to be created in His mind, before He created it with His words!  There is no higher authority!  No one greater to appeal to than God--that is why He is the specialist.  Usually once you are referred to the specialist there is no where else to go.  Believers can be exceedingly glad, because there is no where else to go--surely God has the answer!!  So when facing that seemly impossible situation, look to the God that specializes in the impossible!  You won't be disappointed.  We must seek out the specialist--there is no other help.  No other resource.  God is our Source, the source of all things!  Of course the Creator is greater than the creation, just by definition!  Look to He who is greater than you for the answer, for help, for the way out!  Set down your flesh, set down your intellect, set down what you have learned in the world--look to and for the specialist!  For a true and lasting deliverance, promise and word.  God will bring you out!  Who the Son sets free, is free indeed!  Call on Him!  He will show up!  There is no weapon that is formed against us that shall prosper!  We are to lean not to our own understanding, in all of our ways acknowledge Him--He is the specialist!  In the book of Acts they came together to pray without ceasing!  Calling on the Lord collectively!  Specializing in keeping us and bringing us out!  We are to pray without ceasing!  Fall on your face, before Him like never before!  Trust Him!  He is a specialist!  More than an conquer, more than a overcomer!  It is the God on the inside of you!  The specialist shows up mighty and strong.  Trust in the specialist!  God keeps doing a new thing!  Keep praying and fighting the enemy, trusting  the word of God.  No matter how it looks or what the doctor has said!  God is our specialist, refer to a higher power and authority!  Get a second opinion in the Spirit!  We really have to walk, in God we trust!  He shows up in the impossibilities and make them possible by His mighty arm!  Only with man are things impossible, with the Specialist that we serve, every thing is possible!  All the things in 2012 that you thought were impossible, God shows up to tell you, it is possible!  Others around you who know your situation will say how?  But God--He did it!  Brought us out--right on time, pulled us through, late in the midnight hour it was turned around and it worked in my favor!  Hallelujah!  Praise Him!  The same Specialist that will show up and show out!  He is the Great Physician!  With Peter bound in chains, even bound to other men and a guard at the door, was not too hard for God to break him free!  We can not look at these things with natural eyes, we may get too discouraged to seek out a supernatural specialist, with all power of heaven and earth in His hands!  It is not over until God says that it is over!  The Specialist has the final word!  Stop looking to inferior places and getting an inferior answer.  You will be referred to the specialist eventually.  Why not go there at the very beginning?!  Save yourself grief and stress--look to He that is well able to keep, provide and protect you!  God was before time began and can see the end from the beginning, what more knowledge, understanding and authority do you need your specialist to have?!  There is no one greater, more powerful, more loving or kind than our God!  He has kept you and is still keeping you!  Hold on to His word--it is true and He watches over His word to perform it!  How many specialist do you know that can speak a word and also perform that same word.  God is the answer and the way all at the same time!!  He is the process and the cure, all at the same time.  There is not another referral required for any other assistance--you don't have to go over here and over there.  Our God has the answer, period.  He told us not to put a question mark where He has put a period.  Seek Him and ask Him and trust His answer--it will stand and come to pass!  We serve a Specialist!  We serve a God that specializes in the impossible!  Thank You God!  Thank You Lord for calling us friend!  Get up and trust God!  No matter how it looks in the natural, look at it with spiritual eyes!  We can trust Him in our finances, He is Jehovah Jireh--He told us that the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just!  We can trust Him in our marriages, He is the Great Councilor and reconciler--what God has put together, let no man put asunder!  He is Alpha and Omega, call on the specialist!  John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  Hallelujah God!  We serve a specialist that can speak a word and bring us out!  Look at Jabez, He called on the Specialist and was granted that which he had requested.  From Genesis to Revelation, He shows up to heal the sick, strengthen the weak--showing us the way, the truth and the life!  Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers us out of them all!  Jesus tells us to take His yolk and learn of Him, that His burdens are light.  He will never put more on us than we can bear!  Yea thou I walk through the valley of the shadow of death--we have a Specialist.    Taste and see that the Lord is good!  He gets better and better, gooder and gooder!  Speak His word, He creates the fruit of our lips.  He give us power to call those things that are not as thought they were.  We serve a specialist that is making us great in  the world's recession!  He specializes in what no other power can do.  It is nobody but God that can do this!  He will show up with a miracle, grace and mercy!  He will show up and say peace be still--even the storms have to obey His word!  We serve a specialist--who tells us when we have done all that we can to stand still on His word.  His word will never be reversed nor will it come back void.  It will do exactly what He sent it to do. The God that we serve specializes in everything!  He has the deeper understanding and knowledge of all things, that is why there is nothing too hard for Him!  Why all things are possible for Him?!  The One who knows all things and has known it all from the beginning--that has a plan for us to give us an expected end!  Sounds like He is the omnipresent, omnipotent,  and omniscient specialist!!  Thank You God!!  He is a specialist--speak His word, He specializes in His word, it was with Him in the beginning!  He is our Lily of the Valley, our Bright and Morning Star!  We serve a specialist--in God we trust!  He specializes in the impossible!  We can say, I serve a specialist facing: foreclosure, bad credit, no job right now--serve the Specialist and watch Him work!  Be obedient to His directives!  Hallelujah!  Marriages reconciled, He is the great councilor!  We serve a specialist.  Being on God's side, who can stand against us?!    He specializes in what no other power can do!  But God!  Hallelujah!  Thank You Lord!  Prayer changes things!  Get yourself a prayer partner to fight this devil, be suited up in the whole armor of God for the battle!  We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us!  It is only by our spirit man that the Specialist can do this!  Greater is He that is within me, than he that is in the world. 


We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit: I serve a God that is a Specialist!
