YOUR OBEDIENCE IS VICTORY

Then the Lord turned to him and said, "Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites Have I sent you?"
JUDGES 6:14

IN GIDEON'S MIND, VICTORY OVER THE MIDIANITES was an impossibility, and he was absolutely right! The Medianites, along with their allies, overwhelmed the feeble Hebrews. Yet the moment God told Gideon to fight them, victory was no longer an impossibility!
When Jesus commanded His small group of followers to make disciple of all nations, was that impossible (Matthew 28:19)? Certainly, if Jesus said it was! When Jesus told His disciples to love their enemies, was He being realistic? Of course, because He was the One who would achieve reconciliation through them (2Cor5:1920).
Do you treat commands like these as implausible? Do you modified God's Word to find an interpretation that seems reasonable to you? Don't discount what is possible with God (Phil. 4:13). When God gives an assignment, it is no longer an impossibility, but rather it is an absolute certainty. When God gives you a seemingly impossible task the only thing preventing it from coming to pass  is your disobedience. When God speaks, it can scare you to death! He will lead you to do things that are impossible in your own strength. But God will grant you victory, step-by-step, as you obey him. How do you respond to assignments that seem impossible? Do you write them of as attainable? Or do you immediately adjust your life to God's revelation, watching with anticipation to see how He will accomplish His purposes through your obedience? God wants to do the impossible through your life. All He requires is your obedience. And your obedience is victory.
