Unrealistic God?

You’re being unrealistic, someone told me.

What is realistic? There is no such thing as being unrealistic.

I had a guy who once told me about a certain matter that there was no way I could do what I set out to do. But then he saw my history and saw I actually did more than what he thought he can do or can I do. So his expectations were way lower than my expectation for me. You see people often put their limits on you because of what they CAN’T do not on what you CAN do.

This is the thing, there is no such thing as a goal or an idea as being unrealistic. Our father God is the author of being unrealistic. Because he created reality. What is reality anyway? He said in Mark 11:23

“Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

‭‭Mark‬ ‭11:23-24‬ ‭NIV‬‬

This is God is telling us to move mountains into the sea and not to doubt it. Do you know how “unrealistic” that is? Do you know how hard it is to move a mountain into the sea and not doubt it? But he always asks us to believe, even if it seems unrealistic.

This is the God that spreads the waters, created the earth, heals the blind, heals the sick, turns water into wine, a couple of fish into thousands and I can go on and on. That same spirit and power we have inside of us and you’re telling me you can’t go 50 days without something? Now your little goal seems unrealistic to me! And to God's standards!

God did not give us a spirit of indiscipline or timidity but of power love strength, discipline, and a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7

When we get a vision or dream from God we have to believe we can have it. The best Christians are receivers. We have to receive God's love, power, gifts, and grace.

He can do it. He can do it through us.

What is the root word for realistic? Well, it is rooted in the word “physical”. So basically when you say realistically you are saying physically but we are called by God to live by faith, not by sight. We are called to live in the spirit, not in the flesh! The biggest powers and forces are actually invisible so you can’t see them. God is invisible here on earth so you’re saying if you want to be realistic you can’t believe in God? We have to believe the unseen. This is the definition of faith. Wow, so when you are being realistic that means you haven't seen it or it hasn't been done before. But that’s the opposite of faith! The definition of faith in the bible is “ Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see”. So if you have faith you have to be “unrealistic” and believe in something you do not see.

You can tell yourself realistically God won’t do it

Realistically you will stay at a job you hate

Realistically you won’t reach your goals

But how about this:

Thorough God I can do all things

With God I can reach my goals and dreams

With God I will find a fulfilling career?

This is how God has called us to think LIVE by faith and not by sight. Proverbs tells us don’t be wise in our own eyes! We have to trust the Lord with all our heart and lean not in our OWN understanding.

What in your life today would you like to change?

God is the author of Making the unrealistic into possibilities

What thing in your life do you think was unrealistic? How can you turn that into a possibility?

Make goal. Weekly, monthly and yearly. Remember a dream without a goal is just a wish.

Believe that you can move the mountain and you will. Believe you will reach your goal and you will.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

Philippians 4:13

Let’s get this legacy.
