Very Much Is Utterly Impossible . . .

despite the fact that it is written that all things are possible to him who believes.

The reason is that everything goes according to God’s unalterable laws, according to the laws of the Spirit of life.

Therefore it is for this very reason that it is impossible to be exalted in God’s kingdom unless you abase yourself, and it is impossible to abase yourself without being exalted in truth. There are no exceptions. God is not partial. Everyone is equal before the law. If a person is proud, self-confident, and arrogant, having exalted thoughts about himself, it is utterly impossible for him to receive grace from God. Then he cannot make progress and it cannot go well with him. He is not permitted to make progress because God resists the proud. Then God appears as his adversary, and the result is a foregone conclusion!

It is impossible to move someone who trusts in the Lord. He is immovable. It is just as impossible to abide firmly in God’s kingdom unless you rely on the Lord from the heart. It is absolutely impossible to be filled with the love of God and Christ and simultaneously be unable to bear or stand someone or something, for love bears all things!

It is also impossible to be patient without it leading to perfect works! Jas. 1:4. And it is utterly impossible to be saved unless you have forgiven all men from the heart the sins they have committed against you. It is also completely impossible to have fellowship with each other in spirit and truth unless we walk in the light just as He is in the light. Without faith it is also impossible to please God.

Everything is possible by obeying God’s laws. Nothing is possible by acting contrary to God’s laws.

There are precisely as many impossibilities as there are possibilities, and vice versa.
