Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.

Summary

In this message, Pastor Shawn Johnson encourages believers to cultivate a miracle mindset by trusting God to do what is humanly impossible. God specializes in performing miracles through broken, imperfect people who come boldly to His throne of grace rather than relying on their own strength. By engaging in prayer, fasting, and shared community intercession, believers can shift their focus off earthly anxieties and set their minds on God's faithful promises.

Pastor's Points

3.

Let's Believe for the Impossible: Uniting in prayer and fasting as a community.

Key Points

1.
A miracle occurs when God does for us what we cannot do for ourselves, and His miracle-working power is available to everyone regardless of their situation.
2.
Believers are invited to come boldly before God's throne of grace with confidence, knowing that God does not wait for people to be perfect before performing miracles.
3.
Throughout Scripture, God consistently displayed His power through broken, imperfect people with significant past mistakes, including Moses, David, Peter, and Paul.
4.
Developing a miracle mindset requires intentionally fixing one's mind on heavenly truths rather than obsessing over earthly worries and circumstances.
5.
Spiritual disciplines like prayer and fasting starve the flesh of earthly cravings so believers can feed their spirits and prioritize God's presence.
6.
Performing miracles is God's responsibility, but choosing where to place our focus and mindset is our responsibility.
7.
Believing for the impossible is meant to be a shared journey within Christian community, where believers carry each other's burdens and pray for one another.

Sermon Moments

“Miracles are what God does, and this applies to you.”

“God only does miracles in the lives of broken people, cause what other kinds are there?”

“Miracles are God's responsibility. Mindset is ours.”

“When we fast and pray, we're starving our flesh from something it wants so that we can feed our spirit something it needs.”

“If you fast breakfast and don't spend any more time with God, it's not a spiritual fast. That's a diet.”

“Miracles is a team sport, church. We're not going on this journey by ourselves.”

“He says, 'You get serious about this prayer thing and I'll turn things around for you.'”

This Week

Identify an area in your life that feels impossible and surrender it to God, remembering that while miracles are His responsibility, setting your mindset on Him is yours.

Participate in prayer and fasting by setting aside a fleshly desire—such as social media, sugar, or online shopping—to intentionally make room for God's presence.

Approach God's throne of grace boldly in prayer, refusing to let feelings of inadequacy or past mistakes keep you from asking Him for help.

Keep a dedicated prayer journal to write down your specific prayer requests, scripture promises, and records of how God answers them over time.

Memorize key scripture promises regarding God's presence, peace, and power to reset your mindset whenever worry or fear arises.

Share your burdens and prayer requests with trusted believers or through your church community, actively interceding for others as well.

Transform your daily routine by replacing initial morning phone scrolling or email checking with a moment of prayer, scripture reading, and intercession.

Remember This

Performing miracles is God's responsibility, but setting our mind on Him and believing for the impossible together through prayer is ours.

A Challenge for You

Let's just get real serious about taking him up on that offer. Let's go pray. Let's go fast. And let's go believe for the impossible in Jesus' name.
