KEYS TO UNLOCK THE REALM OF THE IMPOSSIBLE – PART 2
2014 is the year of extraordinary prophetic fulfillment, provision, protection and progress.
1) We must have extraordinary faith.
Our faith must be at a different level. We believe everything God has spoken. What God says is final. Don’t have
our own pros and cons. God’s word is final and God’s word is the final authority.
The word that we have is the material for our miracle. If we want to make a cake but no dough or any ingredients,
we cannot bake a cake. Confess and believe in our mind, the word shall be done. The baby takes 9 months to be
mature and delivered. Bigger creature takes longer time. Some things don’t happen immediately. By faith and
patience, we will inherit the inheritance.
2) We must have explicit obedience.
We must obey God in every level. We obey every instructions, details, commandments, fulfill His instructions.
Obedience will bring us to another level of stature. Instruction is a way of life. Follow the right instructions and we
will have the right results.
3) Exemplary sacrifice.
This is the new level of willingness to pay the price. We must pay the price at any cost no matter how difficult it is.
Suffer willingly so that we can fulfill the higher call. People cannot touch the supernatural realm unless we are
willing to sacrifice. Miracles don’t happen for fools. Everyone wants a million dollars but how many would pay the
price, work hard and honor God for it? If we want to go further, there’s a cost.
Php 2:2
then fulfill my joy, that you may be like-minded, having the same love,
being
of one accord and of one mind.
Php 2:3
Let
nothing
be done
through strife or vainglory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than
themselves.
Php 2:4
Do not let each man look upon his own things, but each man also
on
the things of others.
•
Exemplary sacrifice is to make complete the joy of others.
Whose joy are we living for? Are we living for ourselves or are we living for others? This is the fundamental of
Christ’s life. We cannot talk about sacrifice if we start from ourselves. If we are doing it for ourselves it is called self
interest. Sacrifice is always about others. If we do it for ourselves and we work hard for our own, that is not
sacrifice. That is self interest. If we pray once or twice for others, it is called sacrifice.
•
Exemplary sacrifice has no limit of sacrifice.
We don’t count the cost. What a mother would do for a child has no limit. Even though a child can cheat the mother,
the mother would continue to love the child.
Php 2:8
And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself
and
became obedient unto death, even
the
death
of the cross.
Jesus emptied Himself and died for us. This is exemplary sacrifice. There is no stopping and we keep continuing
without counting the cost. If we want to enter into the supernatural, we must pay the price again and again where
there is no limit. It is not about the greatness as it is but the price that we are willing to pay.
•
Exemplary sacrifice is God working in us.
We cannot sacrifice unless God works in our heart because generally God is selfish and we stop at a certain point.
Some serve for 5 years and after 5 years they go mad. Some people only serve for 1 week. If we want to break into
the supernatural, we must allow God to work in our heart.
Php 2:12
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my
absence, cultivate your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Php 2:13
For it is God who works in you both to will and to do of
His
good pleasure.

God is at work in us and HE has to work within us so that we can have the power to do His will. That’s why some
people can keep working without complains. Some people just work for a month and resign.
We do not because we can receive thank you but because we know how to live exemplary lives. Our life is to
serve. If Jesus can do this, we should learn it too. Jesus girded Himself in towel and washed the feet of His
disciples. We cannot break into the realm of the supernatural if we don’t have this kind of love for His people. Those
with exemplary sacrifice enjoy seeing the joy of others and serve without limit. Whatever it takes regardless if we
receive thanks or gifts, our heart is set in service to God.
Sacrifice like this is the model of the mature. We are willing to let go of everything in order to gain Christ. This must
be the motive of our service. Is our payment or our rewards or recognition more important than Christ? They don’t
have to because we took a vow to serve. If we want the supernatural, set our heart to serve and the only thing we
gain from serving is Christ. Then no one can stop God from blessing us.
Php 3:7
But whatever things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
Php 3:8
But no, rather, I also count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for
whose sake I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them
to be
dung, so that I may win Christ
4) Exceptional kindness
•
Exemplary kindness is showing Christ love and kindness.
The compassion of Christ will touch and flow through our heart. We will be able to do what Christ can do through
compassion. We can touch lives and change lives. We will be able to serve and show graciousness, mercy and
kindness. What do we look in a man? His kindness. Kindness is a quality that is very difficult to find. They can show
life and strength.
Act 10:38
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with
the
Holy Spirit and with power, and He went about doing good,
and healing all those who were oppressed by the Devil, for God was with Him.
•
Exemplary kindness is doing our best for others.
Jesus went around doing good. Many people did badly to Him yet He only returned good because only good is in
Him. He is good all the time and only good dwells in Him. If we start doing good, we hit coals of fire on people’s
head because they will not have a way to fight a good man. Even the bad people know good person and stop in the
way of harm towards good people.
This is the making of extraordinary people. Jesus looked at the woman caught in adultery and Jesus is the only one
who can forgive her. Jesus has the power to condemn her or set her free. When someone hurt us, we may be right
but we must not attack them. The bible taught us to forgive them. This is power. To throw fire for fire is easy. That’s
why God don’t entrust power to a lot of people because they victimize people.
One day when the power hits us and flow through our lives, we will be like an unstoppable river and miracles will
happen everywhere we go. When God anointed Jesus, He went about doing good.
Act 11:23
who was glad when he had come and had seen the grace of God. And he exhorted all with purpose of heart
to remain near to the Lord.
Act 11:24
For he was a good man and full of
the
Holy Spirit and faith. And many people were added to the Lord.
There are very few good people around in the world. Those who are half good and half bad are many.
•
Exemplary kindness is being gracious in words and deeds
Say the appropriate things and things that are needed for the moment. When we go to the funeral or wedding we
say the right words. Every word that we give must be the words of grace that can help people build up and
stronger. Make a rule in our life with our tongue. Make a covenant with our eyes and mouth that we will speak
words that will build people up. We can see faults in people or things but that does not mean we are smart. It is
about what we can do for them. What do we do after we discover is where wisdom lies. To destroy the devil is
doing good works.
Whatever God speaks to us, do it immediately and follow it to the letter. When God speaks to us, consider what
God is saying. Take the word and act on the word. Be willing to lay down our best for others to all extend. All we
need to do is just be like this and people will watch us.
