2. Job 37:6 [6] For He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth'; Likewise to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength.

3. Genesis 15:1-6

4. Matthew 26:26-29
[26] And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is My body." [27] Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. [28] For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. [29] But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom."

7. We all know about the events that have been happening around us lately, I’ve been encourage based on these events to talk to you this morning and ask the question:
IS ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR THE LORD?
What is your answer?
For this will reveal our estimate of the power of God and also the extent of our own faith in God.
In genesis chapter 18 Abraham was talking to the Lord and this is what he say:

8. IS ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR THE LORD?
Genesis 18:1-14 [1] Then the LORD appeared to him by the terebinth trees of Mamre, as he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day. [2] So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, [3] and said, "My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant. [4] Please let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. [5] And I will bring a morsel of bread, that you may refresh your hearts. After that you may pass by, inasmuch as you have come to your servant." They said, "Do as you have said." [6] So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said, "Quickly, make ready three measures of fine meal; knead it and make cakes."

9. IS ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR THE LORD?
Genesis 18:1-14 [7] And Abraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hastened to prepare it. [8] So he took butter and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree as they ate. [9] Then they said to him, "Where is Sarah your wife?" So he said, "Here, in the tent." [10] And He said, "I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son." (Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behind him.) [11] Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and Sarah had passed the age of childbearing. [12] Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, "After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?" [13] And the LORD said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?' [14] Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son."

10. In these days many of God’s people are discouraged, despondent and filled with doubt.
This ought not to be, for discouragement always comes from the Devil, despondency paralyses us for useful service and doubt dishonours the Lord.
If encouragement is needed, however, here it is in this study!
If our faith needs to be fortified, this meditation in God’s Word will do this for all of us.
The circumstances in which the question, ‘Is anything too hard for the Lord?’ was asked, are brought before us in Genesis 15:1-6; 17:1-5; 15-19; 18:1-14; 21:1-8.

11. Abraham was 100 years old and Sarah was 90 and look at Genesis 18:11.
Humanly speaking, it was impossible for Sarah to bear a child.
At first Abraham laughed at the idea (17:17), but afterwards Sarah laughed also (18:12) - and then it was that the Lord Himself said,
‘Is anything too hard for the Lord’.
Well, is anything…?
Consider the following five propositions; turn to all the scripture references given and see how God loves to do hard things.

12. (1) There is no PROMISE too hard for the Lord to fulfill.
It is computed that in the Bible there are 30,000 promises, all of which ‘are yes, and in Him Amen…’
(2 Corinthians 1:20); that is, they are promises to the child of God –
2 Peter 1:4, and they are all absolutely sure
Numbers 23:19. God will never lied to us!
Every promise that God has ever made will be fulfilled, and there is a promise to meet your very need.
Notice three illustrations of ‘hard things’ that God promised and accomplished:
He promised that the walls of Jericho would fall, but that Rahab’s dwelling on the wall and her family would be spared. This was indeed a hard thing - read Joshua 2:1-24; 6:1-25.
He promised to feed Elijah by ravens at Cherith and by a widow at Zarephath. This was a hard thing - read 1 Kings 17:2-16
He promised that Mary would bring forth a son, though she was a virgin. This was a hard thing - read Luke 1:26-38.

13. (2) There is no PRAYER too hard for the Lord to answer.
One of the great prayer-promises in the Bible is Jer 33:3, where the word ‘unsearchable’ may be translated ‘hidden’, ’fenced in’ or ‘hard’.
The Lord loves to answer hard prayers
Matthew 17:20; John 16:23.
In every situation and circumstance of life He invites us to pray, and He promises to answer our prayers.
What a hard thing it was, humanly speaking, to give Abraham and Sarah a child! Biologically it was impossible, yet their prayer was answered.
Genesis 24:1-67. How hard it was, humanly speaking, for Abraham’s servant to find just the right bride for Isaac, yet God answered prayer by leading Eliezer to choose Rebekah!
1 Kings 17:6-7. How hard it was, humanly speaking, for fire to fall upon the altar, but it was not too hard for the Lord, and Elijah’s prayer was abundantly answered!

14. (3) There is no PROBLEM too hard for the Lord to solve.
Possibly you have a problem which you have been trying to solve by yourself and you have failed! Matthew 8:25
Ask the Lord to solve it for you. 1 Peter 5:7
He can and He will perform a miracle for you, if it is for His glory to do so. John 11:41-42
He is a miracle-working God, and nothing is too hard for Him. Matthew 19:26
Look up the following, and see how His power was put forth in the solution of His people’s problems.

15. (3) There is no PROBLEM too hard for the Lord to solve.
He enabled them to pass through the Red Sea unharmed and on dry land - Exodus 14:13-31.
He solved the problem of the bitter water at Marah - Exodus 15:23-26.
He gave them water out of the rock - Exodus 17:5-7.
He turned the water into wine - John 2:1-11.
He stilled the storm - Mark 4:35-41.
He fed five thousand - Matthew 14:15-21.
He raised the dead - John 11:38-46.
What He did then He can do today!
Have we so soon forgotten the miracles God performed in us day by day, and other similar miracles in our generation?

16. (4) There is no PLACE too hard for the Lord to revive.
We so quickly get discouraged in our work for the Lord.
God’s people are frequently heard to say,
‘The work is very hard; it has gone down terribly, and it’ll never be the same again!’
But why should we accept this defeatist attitude when our God is the God of the impossible? Romans 8:28
Is the church of the Lord ’a dying cause’? Rev 3:1
Does nothing seem to happen?
Do no conversions take place?
Do few gather for prayer?
Why not alter this situation? 
Why don’t YOU alter this situation?
- for your can! 
Isaiah 43:19 ‘Is anything too hard for the Lord’?

17. (5) There is no PERSON too hard for the Lord to save.
Thank God, Hebrews 7:25 is still true
yet we frequently doubt God’s ability to save people! Jam 1:7-8
We look upon certain cases as hard!
The woman who was a sinner was wonderfully saved by the Lord Jesus - Luke 7:36-50.
A condemned criminal was gloriously converted in his dying hour - Luke 23:39-43.
A persecutor was humbled to the dust by the sight of the risen Lord - Acts 9:1-7.
A jailer and his family were suddenly converted - Acts 16:25-34.

18. Is anything too hard for the Lord? We have to be people of faith.
We have to believe what is written.
We have to practice what we preach.
What is your answer?

19. Be faithful to The Lord till Death!
Be baptized
Confess
Repent
Believe
Be faithful to The Lord till Death!
Hear
