Pre-won in prayer!
“Where to Go When It’s Impossible?”
There is no superman to help you!
But there is the Sovereign Lord to save you!
If you’re facing a situation or a need that’s going to require “powers far beyond those of mortal man,”-
– you have this awesome God to turn to.
There’s a thrilling picture of going to God for your “mission impossible” in our word for today from the Word of God in Daniel 2.
Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, where Daniel has been taken as a captive and elevated to being a royal advisor, has had a very troubling prophetic dream.
He calls in all of his astrologers and advisors, and asks them to not only figure out what his dream meant, but what his dream was or die.
He doesn’t want any magician scamming him with some made-up interpretation.
If a man can tell him the dream, then he can trust his interpretation of the dream.
Of course, no one can tell him what he dreamed.
Then Daniel, God’s man at court, is called in as the king’s last resort.
Even for Daniel, it’s “mission impossible.”
What Daniel did is a pattern for us when we’re facing our “mission impossible.”
Daniel returned to his house and explained the matter to his friends.
He urged them to plead for mercy from the God of heaven.
During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel.
Then Daniel praised the God of heaven and said:
“Praise be to the name of God forever and ever; wisdom and power are His.”
What follows is a powerful prayer of extravagant praise.
When Daniel reveals the mystery to the king, he says:
“No wise man can explain the mystery, but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries.”
There’s the plan for your “mission impossible.”
First-
Gather prayer partners to intercede for you and for this situation.
The battle will be pre-won in prayer!
Second-
Gaze at the power of your God rather than the impossibilities of the situation.
Third-
Get all the resources only God has.
Daniel said, “You have given me wisdom and power, You have made known to us the dream of the king.”
God has resources that no one on earth could ever give you.
Then-
Give God all the glory for the breakthrough in this plan for winning in your “mission impossible.”
Folks may express amazement or admiration for you.
You let them know that it all belongs to the mighty Lord you serve.
You don’t have the answers.
He does.
He chooses to send the particular answer to you.
And the particular solution you need right now.
Are you kind of like Daniel-
– facing something that’s far beyond what earth could do?
Do a Daniel!
“This is a job for the God of heaven…the Lord who is my God!”
