In a time marked by global unrest, personal crises, and spiritual warfare, one question echoes from Genesis to Revelation:
Is there anything too hard for the Lord?
This week at Grace Online Church, Bishop Ernest Jackson challenged believers worldwide to confront that question head-on.
When You’ve Reached Your Limit
There comes a moment in every believer’s life when:
- You’ve tried everything
- You’ve prayed
- You’ve called the doctor
- You’ve hired the lawyer
- You’ve sought counsel
And nothing changes.
That is the moment when prayer stops being routine and becomes surrender.
Last week’s declaration was simple:
“Watch God Work It Out.”
But this week, Bishop went further.
When the answer is delayed, do you still believe?
Biblical Proof: God Specializes in the Impossible
Scripture confirms it repeatedly:
- Sarah was barren — yet she bore Isaac.
- Daniel faced lions — yet emerged untouched.
- Elijah prayed — and heaven responded.
- Jesus surrendered in Gethsemane — and resurrection followed.
Jeremiah 32:27 declares:
“Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for Me?”
The answer is clear.
Nothing.
Your Prayer May Be Delayed — But It Is Not Denied
One of the most powerful revelations from this message:
God heard you the first time.
Isaiah 65:24 says:
“Before they call, I will answer.”
Delay does not mean denial.
Silence does not mean absence.
Waiting does not mean abandonment.
Real-Time Faith in Action
In light of the ongoing search for Nancy Guthrie, believers across the nation have been called to prayer.
While authorities search diligently, Psalm 20 reminds us:
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord.
Faith does not ignore reality.
Faith confronts it with confidence in God’s sovereignty.
The Assignment: Write It Down
Bishop Ernest Jackson instructed every listener to:
- Write down three impossible requests.
- Write the name of someone needing breakthrough.
- Write down a “No” that must become a “Yes.”
Not something you can accomplish yourself.
Something only God can do.
Because when it happens, you’ll know it was Him.
In This World You Will Have Trouble
Jesus said in John 16:33:
“In this world you will have trouble. But be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”
Trouble is inevitable.
Defeat is optional.
Call His Name
Call Him:
- Jehovah Jireh – Provider
- Jehovah Rapha – Healer
- Jehovah Shalom – Peace
- Jehovah Nissi – Banner
At the name of Jesus:
- Fear bows
- Darkness trembles
- Heaven moves
Final Encouragement
Prayer is relational.
Prayer is covenant.
Prayer is powerful.
If you remain in Him and His Word remains in you, ask whatever you wish.
Trust Him.
Write it down.
Pray it through.
Then watch God work it out.
