Jeremiah 32:17 Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.
Jeremiah uttered these words when everything around him looked hopeless. Babylon’s armies surrounded Jerusalem, the city was on the brink of destruction, and yet God told Jeremiah to buy a field as a prophetic sign that restoration would come. The prophet responded in awe: the God who created the heavens and the earth by His outstretched arm (bizroa netuyah) is not bound by human circumstances. The same God who set galaxies in place and boundaries for the seas is the God who still moves to redeem His people. Truly, nothing is too hard for Him.
The testimony of Scripture confirms this over and over. When Abraham and Sarah were old and barren, God promised a son. Sarah laughed at the impossibility — yet God replied, “Is anything too hard for the LORD?” (Genesis 18:14). Isaac’s birth was living proof God brings life where none is possible. What was beyond human ability was accomplished by the Arm of God.
Centuries later, that same Arm walked among us in the person of Yeshua (Jesus). The gospels show us His mastery over the impossible: blind eyes opened, lepers cleansed, the dead raised. Even the wind and the sea obeyed His command, for the One who set their boundaries at creation still held them in His hand. At His word, storms were silenced and chaos was calmed — a living demonstration that nothing is too hard for the Arm of the LORD.
The cross and the resurrection are the ultimate proof. Sin and death — the greatest impossibilities — were shattered by the Arm stretched wide for us. Where humanity could not rescue itself, the righteousness of God sustained His Arm to finish the work. And in the empty tomb, we see that no grave is too deep for His power to overcome.
Let Jeremiah’s declaration be your anthem: “Ah, Lord GOD, there is nothing too hard for You!” No siege of fear, debt, sickness, or oppression can stand against the Creator of heaven and earth. The God who gave Abraham a son in his old age, who calmed the raging seas with a word, who broke the power of the grave through His Son, is the same God who stretches out His hand over your life today. Lift your eyes from the impossibility before you and fix them on the One who speaks worlds into being. Rest in His strength, declare His power, and stand in faith — for truly, nothing is too hard for Him.

[worthy_plugins_devotion_single_body]As we’ve been traveling across the United States, the spiritual warfare is more tangible than ever before. Whereas years ago, it was done in secret, open, and public occult demonic activity is increasing in numerous places. We are facing principalities and powers in heavenly places and here on Earth, and we must fight as the saints of old, with the spiritual weapons of faith, and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. And ultimately it IS His battle.
Samson is a powerful example of a man of God who won his battles over and over again because the Spirit of the Lord came upon him. Yet when he was finally defeated by Delilah's temptations he didn’t realize that the Lord had left him, so effective was the woman's spell...
When Saul was king of Israel, there were no giant slayers in their midst; so when Goliath stood against the armies of Israel, the Israelites trembled! There was, however, a young shepherd, whose intimate knowledge of His God inspired and empowered him to fight the evil giant, and defeat him.
An ancient story is told of a King of Spain who was to visit a poor country village. Upon hearing of his plan to visit them, the people seemed excited to offer a great celebration that would show their adoration and love for their king. But the villagers didn’t have much to offer.
As we’ve been speaking a word of revival across the United States, a primary purpose is to re-dig the wells for a great harvest in the midst of such darkness. While many would say “there is no revival coming”, we simply refer to Matthew 13:24-30 which describes a two-fold harvest. First, the WHEAT is ripening for harvest, while second, TARES are growing up along with it.
Returning from their ‘mission’ trip, the 72 disciples of Yeshua (Jesus) were filled with joy. “Even the devils are subject to us through your name”, they exulted. Yeshua responded that He saw Satan fall like lightening from Heaven and that He had given them authority to trample snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy.
When Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt I'm sure several million people were wondering, "How am I going to be fed? How am I going to survive in this wilderness?" Imagine the logistical nightmare. An incalculable quantity of food and water were needed to survive in the desert. Where would it come from? Yet, in this seemingly impossible situation, God provided!
