Is Anything Too Hard for the
Lord?
Jeremiah 32:17-32:17
- Genesis 18:14 KJV Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time
appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah
shall have a son.
- Jeremiah 32:17 KJV Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and
the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too
hard for thee:In Genesis the question is asked is there any
thing to hard or the Lord? Jeremiah give us the answer in Jeremiah 32:17 - that
there nothing to hard for thee! Many times our faith can be tested to
believe God even if the mountain is in front of us. However, God will give
us the victory according to His Word and Will. His Word is His Will and
His Will is His Word. This outline sermon deals with the five things that come
to us out of this text:
I. THERE IS NO PROMISE TOO HARD FOR GOD TO
FULFILL.
- Deu 33:27 KJV The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the
everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall
say, Destroy them.
- Num 23:19 KJV God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of
man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he
spoken, and shall he not make it good?
A. The Promises of God.
1. God sometimes says some things in the Bible He did not
say directly to me, but God never uttered one word in the
Bible that He didn’t say for me.
2. God is the God of promise. He keeps his word, even when
that seems impossible; even when the circumstances seem to point to the
opposite. Colin Urquhart
3. God’s promises are like the stars; the darker the night
the brighter they shine. David Nicholas
- Rom 15:4 KJV For whatsoever things were written
aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of
the scriptures might have hope.
- 1 Cor 10:11 KJV Now all these things happened unto
them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends
of the world are come.
- Titus 1:2 KJV In hope of eternal life, which God,
that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
B. What do the promises of the blessed Word mean to you?
- Phil 4:13 KJV I can do all things through Christ, which
strengtheneth me. - Phil 4:19 KJV But my God shall supply all your need
according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
1. I never preach a sermon without claiming two of God’s
great promises, one for wisdom and the other for power of the Holy Spirit
- James 1:5 KJV If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask
of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be
given him.
- Luke 11:13 KJV If ye then, being evil, know how to
give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father
give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
C. And The Promises Are Just As Sure As They Have Always Been!
"Is any thing too hard for the Lord?" - Gen. 18:14
"There is nothing too hard for thee" - Jer. 32:17
II. THERE IS NO PRAYER TOO HARD FOR GOD TO ANSWER.
- When God is going to do something wonderful, He starts with a difficulty. When
God is going to do something very wonderful and miraculous, He starts with
impossibility)
A. When Is The Last Time God Answered A Prayer For You?
1. God Almighty is not limited to circumstances.
2. It is God’s way out--it is our way in--it is the way
over--it is the way of victory!
"Is any thing too hard for the Lord?" - Gen. 18:14
"There is nothing too hard for thee" - Jer. 32:17
III. THERE IS NO PROBLEM TOO HARD FOR GOD TO SOLVE.
A. Everyone Gets Into Tight Places. - Gideon did--Abraham did--Moses
did--Paul did)
1. Any Christian, if he attempts something for God, comes
to
great times of crises in his life.
2. But no problem is too great for God to solve.
You can never break God’s promises by leaning on them.
God’s promises are like the stars; the darker the night, the
brighter they shine.
God didn’t promise an easy voyage, but a safe arrival.
- Psalms 37:3 KJV Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt
thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
- Psalms 37:4 KJV Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he
shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
-Psalms 37:5 KJV Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust
also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
B. As Preachers, We Sometimes Get Discouraged.
1. But I expect preachers to believe that God CAN solve
their problems.
2. If we preach without enthusiasm, without victory, without
encouragement in our own souls, the people begin to act the same way.
3. God help us to believe today that nothing is too hard for
God!
"Is any thing too hard for the Lord?" - Gen. 18:14
"There is nothing too hard for thee." - Jer. 32:17
IV. THERE IS NO PLACE WHERE GOD CAN'T SEND A REVIVAL.
A. I Am Told That In the Great Welsh Revival the People Did Four Things:
1. They condemned sin in themselves.
2. They completely obeyed God in every matter.
3. They had a compassionate burden for others.
4. They prayed.
- II Chron. 7:14; If My people, who are called by My name, shall humble
themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from
their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal
their land.
- Hab 3:2 KJV O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD,
revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known;
in wrath remember mercy.
B. We Try Everything Except God’s Way.
1. We try all the advertising, try to get people to
realize what a great preacher is coming, we publicize, we organize--we do
everything but agonize before God in prayer and claim
His promises. there is no place on earth God can’t send a
revival! God help us to believe that there is nothing too hard for You!
"Is any thing too hard for the Lord?" - Gen. 18:14
"There is nothing too hard for thee." - Jer. 32:17
V. THERE IS NO PERSON TOO HARD FOR GOD TO SAVE
(I have know some hard cases!)
A. - The Story Of The Paralytic The Four Men Brought To Jesus
- Mark 2:1-5, four men at the hole in the roof) - HE LOOKED DOWN AT
THE MAN AND SAID, "SON, THY SINS BE FORGIVEN THEE!"
B: The apostle Paul: - 1 Tim 1:15 KJV This is a faithful saying,
and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save
sinners; of whom I am chief.
"Is anything too hard for the Lord?" - Gen. 18:14
"There is nothing too hard for thee." - Jer. 32:17
God never made a promise that was too good
to be true. -- D.L. Moody
