Scriptural Roles for Women in a Church –Book Report


                   Bigger Than Impossible by Lydia Chorpening, is a power book packed with Scripture that correlates with the mind

            of Christ and what every individual needs to do in order to gain the impossible. As children of God, we should live by faith

            and not by sight! Too often, we limit God due to our inability to trust what He says. Many people believe God performed

            miracles during the Bible days only; unfortunately, we have not put on the mind of Christ to experience the fullness of Him

            which prohibits a full understanding of His faith.

                   It is interesting to know, God is already larger than the impossible. Deuteronomy 3:24 says, “O Lord God, You have

            begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand, for what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do

            anything like Your works and Your mighty deeds?” There is simply no one like the Lord. Psalm 104:1, 2 says “Bless the
            Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, You are very great: You are clothed with honor and majesty, Who cover Yourself with

            light as with a garment, Who stretch out the heavens like a curtain.” Our God is full of splendor and greatness why wouldn’t

            you follow the true and living Christ.

                   As Christians, we must know faith and fear cannot coexist. Many times in our lives we reach points where we

            become intimidated and unsure of our very next move or even what is taken place in our lives. However, Christ stands before

            us revealing His confidence in the Trinity. Fear is a characteristic of the enemy. Anything to try and shake the people of God

            and hinder our faith walk is a deposit from Satan. Anxiety can build from our lack of faith and bring on sickness to our
            physical and spiritual bodies. We must always remember our faith is in Christ not we ourselves.
