Today's Word 04-16-26 From the Impossible · The Early Morning Praise Party w/ Sherry Mackey

  Speaker 1: It's your early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and it's time right now for today's word from the Impossible.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Exodus seventeen six says behold, I will stand before you
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: there on the rock of Horeb, and you shall strike
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: the rock, and water will come out of it that
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: the people may drink. You know, there are moments in
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: life when you find yourself in a place that feels dry.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: It feels uncertain, It feels overwhelming, like you've done all
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: you know to do, yet the resources just aren't there.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: It can feel like you're standing in your own version
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: of a desert, wondering how you're gonna make it through.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: But the story in Exodus reminds us of a powerful truth.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: God knows how to provide even in places where provision
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: seems impossible. When God brought the Israelites out of Egypt,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: he didn't lead them into comfort right away. He led
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: them through the wilderness. There were no stores, there was
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: no visible supply, no natural solution to meet their needs, and,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: like many of us would, they began to complain and
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: question how they were gonna survive. But God had not
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: delivered them just to abandon them. Y'all better hear me
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: with your good ear. God did not deliver them just
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to abandon them. He had a plan all along. He
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: instructed Moses to strike a rock, something hard, something dry,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: something lifeless, And out of that rock came water, not
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: a trickle, not barely enough, but enough to sustain an
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: entire nation. Come on, Jesus, it was supernatural provision. A
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: reminder that God is not limited by what we see
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: or understand. He can bring abundance out of what looks empty.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: He can cause life to flow from what seems dead.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: In the same way, don't be surprised if you face
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: seasons where everything around you says there's not enough. The
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: numbers may not add up, the opportunities may seem scarce,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the situation may look like it will never change. But
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: sometimes God allows those moments not to defeat you, but
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: to reveal himself as your provider in a greater way.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: What looks impossible is often the very place where God
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: is about to do something extraordinary. He makes streams in
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: bearing places and rivers in the desert. That means the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: very area of your life that feels dry right now,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: the place where you seek lack, the place where you
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: see delayed. The place where you are experiencing disappointment could
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: be the place where His power shows up the strongest.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: So instead of losing hope, get ready. God is about
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: to strike the rock in your life. Come on, Jesus,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: You're going to see provision that you can't even explain.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Opportunities that don't make this favor you didn't earn, any
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: increase that defies the odds. What you thought would never
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: change is about to turn around. What felt stuck is
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: about to move. The same God who brought water out
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of a is still working today. He hasn't run out
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of resources, he hasn't forgotten about you, and he knows
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: exactly how to get you what you need right on time.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: So keep trusting, keep believing, even in the dry places,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: expect the flow, because when God steps in, he doesn't
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: just meet your knees, he exceeds it. Oh Father, God,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: thank you that you are our provider even when we
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: don't see how things will work out. Thank you that
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: no situation is too hard for you and no place
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: is to drop your power to flow. God, we trust
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: you in every season, knowing that you are working behind
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the scenes on our behalf. God We believe that you
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: will bring provision, you will bring increase, you will bring
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: breakthrough in ways we cannot explain. We will not be afraid.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: We will believe in Jesus' name. Now that's your word
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: for today. Take an applied to your everyday life and
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you continue to be encouraged to and inspired. It's your
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: early morning praise party. I am Sherry Mackie.
