The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. (Luke 18:27)


All hangs upon 
this one thing (as simple as it may seem) that if Christ is present (which means nothing 
else than that God is present) anything is possible at any moment. Are you 
waiting for some day when things will be better? It is not a matter of time at 
all, it is a matter of Him. He says, "I am time and eternity all in a moment, and 
you need not accept anything in the matter of time; you accept Me, and you may 
be well-nigh dead in the morning and be very much alive before the day is over. 'I 
am the resurrection and the life.'" Mary said, “I know that He will rise 
again in the last day.” For her resurrection was a matter of time. Oh no. 
Resurrection was right there....

As long as it 
takes to break a loaf you have gone from seed-time to harvest. "'Do you not 
say, There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest?' (John 4:35). I 
am here, and there can be harvest at any moment when I am here." It is not a 
matter of time, of circumstance. We are dealing with God, and He is not bound by 
anything that is known to our human life at all. Eternity dwells in any moment 
when He is present. All things are bound up with any moment when He is present. 
The centurion said, "Just say the word and my servant will be healed." "You need not come. Distance does not matter, time does not matter, just speak 
the word and it will be done." The Lord said, "I 
have not found such great faith, not even in Israel." 
The word was uttered, and when the enquiry was made as to when it happened it 
was found to synchronize with the moment when He spoke. He takes everything into 
His hands, and says "My hour..." and when that comes, there is no 
postponement. Oh, that we should lay hold of that more, live on that, 
never surrender to conditions, never surrender to the inevitable from the 
standpoint of the human, but say, "We have Him; He is our future, He is our 
circumstance." Anything can be at any moment with the Lord present.

This devotional contains short daily portions from a selection of Mr. Austin-Sparks' messages. In his own words, “Perhaps this is just like a window opened into heaven. If you get the right window you can see quite a lot. You can see great things and you can see far things. But the best that I can hope is that this has just opened a window, and that as you look through it you are seeing one thing - how superior is Jesus Christ to all else, and how superior is the dispensation into which we have come, and how superior are all the resources at our disposal to all that ever was before!” Open Windows messages have been selected and compiled by Austin-Sparks.Net from the works of T. Austin-Sparks. In some cases they appear in abridged form. The introductory verse and its associated Bible version have been selected by the editor and did not always appear within the original message.

Knowing God in Christ - Chapter 9

 Beyond Time and Space 

I know that You can do everything. § The things which are impossible with men are possible with God. § He does according to His will in the army of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand or say to Him, “What have You done?” § There is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it? § Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.” § “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” § Mighty God. § All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the Lord our God. § Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid nor dismayed … for there are more with us than with him.

Daily Light on the Daily Path or Daily Light is a Christian daily devotional scripture reading published by Bagster & Sons about 1875. It has been reprinted continually since then. It consists of brief groupings of scripture passages which speak to prominent Biblical themes—two themes (morning and evening) for each day of the year. It appends no commentary, but simply allows scripture to speak for itself.

From Wikipedia: 

The New International Version (NIV) is an English translation of the Bible first published in 1978 by Biblica (formerly the International Bible Society). The NIV was published to meet the need for a modern translation done by Bible scholars using the earliest, highest quality manuscripts available. Of equal importance was that the Bible be expressed in broadly understood modern English.

The NIV is published by Zondervan in the United States and Hodder & Stoughton in the UK. The NIV was updated in 1984 and 2011 and has become one of the most popular and best-selling modern translations.
