EXTRAORDINARY 

 
With God nothing will be impossible.  Luke 1:37

Did you know that God wants to use you to do the extraordinary?  Throughout the Bible, God has used ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things for Him.  People like Joseph, who was a dreamer, and despite being stuffed into a cistern and sold as a slave by his jealous brothers, became the Prime Minister of Egypt and saved both Egypt and the the nation of Israel from starvation and obsolescence.

How does something that powerful happen?  It takes the faith of an ordinary man like Joseph, to overcome the difficulties that others cause in their life, to have God empower them to accomplish the amazing things that they otherwise might never happen been able to do.  Another example is Paul.  Did you know that Paul was one of the biggest enemies of Christianity before he himself became one?

Paul traveled all over the cities around Israel seeking out Christians and having them jailed and killed, until he met God one day on his way to Damascus.  God literally knocked him off of his horse.  As Paul fell to the ground wondering what was happening, God asked him why he was persecuting and killing His people.  Paul was blinded for the moment and was so frightened by the thought that God was actually speaking to him, immediately confessed his sin and accepted God's challenge to begin starting building churches.  Paul ended up starting more churches than any of the apostles.

One of God's favorite words is impossible.  Why? Because God is so good at making what looks impossible become the possible in our lives.  All He asks is that we believe in Him and that He has the power to do that for ordinary people who have big faith.  So, become extraordinary.  Be available and willing to do whatever God wants you to accomplish, knowing that He has the power to do it.  All He wants from us is to have faith,
