"You
Can't, But God Can"
by Lonnie
Mackley Jan. 15th, 2016
While I
was praying I saw a picture of a mountain climber and it looked like they had
climbed very high up on a mountainside. But as the view zoomed in I could see
that the climber was trapped in a spot where they could not progress any
further. They had tried every possible way to overcome the obstacles to go
higher, but in the end there was just no way; so they had no choice but to sit
down and just wait. As they waited, I could feel the heartbreak and
exasperation in this person’s heart as they fully understood that they did not
have what it takes to go any higher. Then suddenly I saw the Lord appear, take
their hand, and lead them up the mountainside with His great strength and
ability.
JOB 19:8 He has blocked my way so I cannot
pass; he has shrouded my paths in darkness.
Many of
you have reached this place where you cannot progress any further no matter
what you do, and not only does the path ahead seem obscured, but you are out of
strength to even try anymore. The Lord
wants you to know this day that although you have reached the end of your
strength and ability, that you will never reach the end of His strength and
ability; and He wants you to trust Him in your inability and powerlessness.
It’s a lot harder to trust God when you can’t do anything than it is when you
think you can, but that is where real faith and trust is developed. Just about every
person that God has ever used in a big way has had to do a lot of waiting and
trusting as He prepares them.
EX 4:13 But Moses said, "O
Lord, please send someone else to do it."
Look at
Joseph, David, and especially Moses and you will see this same pattern of being
brought to a place of utter inability and having to face the truth of our
fleshly limitations. Someone once asked a preacher why God kept Moses in the wilderness
for 40 years before he led the Israelites through their wilderness, and he
simply answered; “Because 39 years was not enough”. God knew exactly how long
it would take to prepare Moses where he was truly ready and emptied of himself,
and the same thing applies to you. Plus Moses had to go forward with some
limitations where he had to just trust God to be what he could not. So even
though you can’t, just know that God can, and trust Him!
HAB 3:19 The Sovereign LORD is
my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on
the heights.

This is very familiar territory and this word brought tears to my eyes for I am weary with weariness.
One thing I keep saying to the Lord - Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but I am also trusting that He will come through as promised. I know He will,
if I did not I would have given up years ago. It's just ... you know ...

Thank you Lonnie God bless you.This brought tears to my
eyes too.
Psalm 46:1
To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon
Alamoth. God is our refuge and strength, a very present
help in trouble.
He that started a good work in us is faithful to finish
it.

Your assuredness in Me as your Provider is where Faith
and Hope meet blessings in agreement with My Spirit to
perform it and so you must hold onto the vision I have
given you for your faith "IS" the path it will arrive on
much in the same way the chariot came for Elijah for your
faith "IS" a mantle and sign for Me to arrive in Holy
Fire !
Assuredness - a state of mind in which one is free from
doubt
"SPEAK" YOUR FAITH INTO SUBSTANCE !
We are and must be the living matter and substance of
The Kingdom of God and this must remain active in a
constant manner ! \o/
Let Me be all that matters in your life for it is in
this place dreams turn into reality , visions begin to
walk before your very eyes , as your words put My
creation into motion for "truly" as Elijah stopped the
rain and waited for the clouds return in faith , "truly"
I shall do greater exploits through my children that
become My AMOS ( A Matter Of Substance ) for Me and My
Kingdoms expansion for my time is near and you are the
tent pegs that I expand through .
So "speak" My kingdom into existence for I AM The
Substance as I AM The Matter and Formula to all things
eternal in and through Me alone " God Almighty " .
Numbers 24:3-9
3 and he uttered his oracle:
"The oracle of Balaam son of Beor,
the oracle of one whose eye sees clearly,
4 the oracle of one who hears the words of God,
who sees a vision from the Almighty,
who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:
5 "How beautiful are your tents, O Jacob,
your dwelling places, O Israel!
6 "Like valleys they spread out,
like gardens beside a river,
like aloes planted by the LORD,
like cedars beside the waters.
7 Water will flow from their buckets;
their seed will have abundant water.
"Their king will be greater than Agag;
their kingdom will be exalted.
8 "God brought them out of Egypt;
they have the strength of a wild ox.
They devour hostile nations
and break their bones in pieces;
with their arrows they pierce them.
9 Like a lion they crouch and lie down,
like a lioness—who dares to rouse them?
"May those who bless you be blessed
and those who curse you be cursed!"
Hebrews 11:1
1NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, the title
deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of
things [we] do not see and the conviction of their
reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not
revealed to the senses].
Hebrews 11:1 (King James Version)
Hebrews 11
1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen.
