Too many times we cry out to God in desperation because our circumstances are so beyond our capability, we need a miracle and we need it fast or otherwise we will be overcome with the circumstances. Only in those moments we then believe that ALL things are possible with God. However, have we looked at our own life and wondered why we do not witness? Have we wondered why we get so agitated with people who just cannot seem to get their "life together?" How about the coworker or spouse who you feel as though is not pulling their own weight and causing you do to "all the work?" Do we look at our spouse and get "agitated and irritated" with them when they need something and think they are the problem and not us? Do we look at the sin in our life and believe that it is impossible to be delivered from it? We often settle for less because we just view life as that it is the way things are going to be instead of realizing that ALL things are possible to them that believe.
The foundation verse for this message was Luke 18: 27 And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. Jesus said this to his disciples after they asked him the question "Who then can be saved?" Do you need saving today from the impossible in your life? If so, you need to believe God for the impossible situation in your life to change. Freedom is our portion as a Christian but we have settled for the less than that in so many areas of our life. Evangelism and witnessing is one of the biggest areas of impossible thinking impacting Christians. They believe they cannot do it therefore have no heart for it. We believe it is impossible to have Godly love towards others. We believe our prayers do not work and it is impossible to disciple others. People believe they will alawys be addicted to drugs or struggling with mental health, and so on. The list never ends until God gets involved. Once God gets involved and we start believing Him, we will experience freedom from our impossible. The world needs to see Christians delivered from their own impossible(s) to believe that God can do the impossible in their life.

1) What does come and follow me mean to you know after you heard this message?
-It means checking to see if you have things that are holding you back, anything that comes between me and God, things that I am magnifying above anything else. They are all fleshly things and the lie is that they bring real substance to your life. Once you realize what those things are, are you willing to leave that all behind to follow Him? It is hard letting go of what we thought made us important, but it is not impossible.

Harvest field essentials: seeing upstream for others. It’s a lot easier to be self focused: “What do I need? What does God have for me?” when seeing upstream. That’s still not seeing…
The flesh makes things that are possible impossible because we allow our flesh to be the ruler, the dictator, the determiner of things so coming and following him means that we no longer allow the flesh to be our Lord.
If we only see the souls needing salvation in the flesh then we don't see the value we don't see the possibility we see the impossible we see the way things always have been and will probably always be. Because that's what we see that's what we speak and that's what we declare and that's what we believe So having vision is being able to look past the information the history past the mistakes past the failures and believing the…
1) What does come and follow me mean to you know after you heard this message?
After hearing this message, "Come follow me," means to me, no matter what good or bad things in life, there should be no other gods before Him. I believe finances are great, but if they come before serving God, than a heart change needs to happen. Money was just the main thing in this story, but it goes with any thing in life. Once we put Him first, everything else will work itself out.

1) What does come and follow me mean to you now after you heard this message?
It means unloading the things that you can do or obtain and entering by the narrow way, which is salvation. The rich young ruler was simply held back because inheriting the kingdom of heaven was just another thing for him to gain. Jesus' message to him was that you can't gain the kingdom of heaven, you have to surrender to the grace that brings salvation. That's how I saw it for him, because that's how I see it for me after hearing this message. It takes laying down what I CAN do and realizing that walking through the "tight places" the impossible things is…
