Title: The God of All Flesh

Introduction:

Listen to what God says in this passage. He is asking this question of Israel, but it is certainly one that we must consider as well. This is a question that goes on even in the hearts of Christians. We often respond with "Well, no...but...". All of us struggle, at different levels, with the problem of unbelief. Perhaps, like Abraham and Sarah, you’ve prayed for something for years, but God has not answered. Life is passing you by while you wait. You struggle with doubt as you often wonder whether He is hearing your prayers. You may have suffered some tragedy, such as the loss of a loved one, and you wonder, “Where was God when this happened?” Maybe it’s a long-standing family problem or a seemingly impossible goal you're trying to achieve. Or perhaps you're facing a strange sickness that no medication has been able to cure. In times like these, it's important to remember that God is able to help, heal, and make a way where there seems to be no way. He is the God of all flesh.

Body:

1. Fearing Before the Impossible:

We are living in tough times spiritually, economically, and in many other aspects of life. Problems such as poverty, disease, sudden death, desperate need, drought, false governments, and broken homes are prevalent. These problems have caused many people to forget about who Jehovah God is and seek quick solutions even if it means compromising their faith. It is natural to be fearful in the face of difficult situations and great problems, but believers must not allow fear to take them away from God. We must turn to Him wholeheartedly and trust Him without holding onto alternative solutions.

2. Faith that Sees the Invisible:

Our faith in God allows us to see the promised deliverance, healing, revival, restoration, and blessings even before they actually come to fruition. We can learn from Moses, who trusted in God's promises and saw the Red Sea part before his eyes. Similarly, Jehoshaphat was able to see the promised victory when the Lord assured him that He would fight his battles. We must hold onto God's promises and let them give us peace and encouragement in the midst of our trials. God is still the almighty and sovereign God, capable of exceeding our expectations and working all things according to His will.

3. Faith that Attempts the Impossible:

Our assurance in God's power and promises should lead us to take a step of faith and attempt the impossible. We can find inspiration in biblical examples such as Sarah, who laughed at the idea of having a baby at an old age but eventually gave birth to Isaac. Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac demonstrated his belief in God's ability to raise the dead. Joshua's request for the sun to stand still during battle showed his unwavering faith in God's power. Even Jesus Himself performed miracles that seemed impossible, such as raising Lazarus from the dead. We must trust in God's ability and be willing to take bold steps of faith.

Conclusion:

No matter what impossible situation you are facing, remember that nothing is too difficult for the Lord. He is the God of all flesh, capable of healing, providing, restoring, and transforming our lives. Our doubts and fears should not hinder us from trusting in Him. Instead, we should focus on His promises and have faith that He will answer our prayers in His perfect timing and according to His will. Let us not underestimate the power of our heavenly Father and let our faith be strengthened as we rely on Him in every aspect of our lives.
