Things That Are Impossible With Men Are Possible With God
God's promise of revival is the power of the Holy Spirit coming on us and being witnesses to the uttermost parts of the earth.
Andrew Murray emphasizes that while certain things may seem impossible for men and women, they are entirely possible with God. He encourages believers to seek and welcome revival, highlighting the promise of the Holy Spirit as a source of power for the church to fulfill its mission. Murray asserts that this divine empowerment is the heritage of the church, contingent upon its willingness to claim it. The sermon calls for readiness among God's people to embrace this promise and act as witnesses to the world.
Text
'The things that are impossible with men and women are possible with God.' Of such a revival there is a certain prospect if God's people are ready to seek and welcome it. The Father's promise, the promise our King gave when ascending the throne, the promise of Pentecost means nothing less: 'Ye shall receive the power of the Holy Spirit coming on you, and be my witnesses to the uttermost parts of the earth.' Nothing less than this is the church's heritage if she will but claim it.
