This is NJ here host of The NJ Podcast. And this is Spiritual Development Sundays, where we will be taking principles from the best personal development book ever written the Bible. And the premise of the segment is talking more from a perspective of love and of growth, not hellfire and brimstone those things are there.\n\nWe do need to make sure that we check ourselves that we become better. And we don't act in ways that are contrary to what this book says, and what's good for our own wellbeing, but we're here to learn and grow from the best personal development book ever written the Bible itself. \n\nAnd I want to start off with something kind of funny. A Preacher finished the service one morning by saying, 'Next Sunday, I am going to preach on the subject of liars. As a preparation for my sermon, I would like you all to read Mark Chapter 17.' On the following Sunday, the preacher rose to begin. Looking out at the congregation he said, 'Last week I asked you all to read Mark Chapter 17. If you have read the chapter, please raise your hand.' Nearly every hand in the congregation went up. Smiling, the preacher said, 'You are the very people I want to talk to today. . . .Mark has only 16 Chapters\".\n\n I want to talk to you about the Seven things that God cannot do. We all believe that God can do everything and anything under the sun, without anyone knowing or anyone\u2019s approval. Well I assure you that there are things that God cannot do. We often use the word \u201cmajestic\u201d without the basic concept of what the word means. The word \u201cmajestic\u201d comes from the Latin meaning \u201cgreatness.\u201d When we say \u201cyour majesty,\u201d we acknowledge the greatness of that person.\n\nGod\u2019s greatness is measured by the things God cannot do. What does that mean? It sounds like a contradiction. Well, it is the truth.\n\nHere are the seven things God cannot do.\n\nGod cannot be given a problem He cannot solve: Matthew 19:26 \u201cBut Jesus looked at them and said, \u201cWith men this is impossible, but all things are possible with God.\u201d Crossing the Red Sea, defeating Goliath; having your MIP paid on time and getting your degree may seem impossible, but when God intervenes they are possible. Why, because God cannot be given a problem he cannot solve.\nGod cannot leave you nor forsake you: Hebrews 13: 5 \u201cfor He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]\u201d Your family, friends and influence may leave you but God will never leave you.\nGod cannot allow His people to be shamed. Joel 2:26: \u201cAnd you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord, your God, Who has dealt wondrously with you. And My people shall never be put to shame.\u201d Many people have a dark moment in their past that they are ashamed about and are still haunted by it. Well, Jesus was shamed at the cross and broke the shame barrier once and for all, so you could be free from shame. Why? Because God cannot allow His people to be ashamed.\nGod cannot share His glory with anyone\u2026 ever: Don\u2019t you ever try to take God\u2019s glory from him or you will pay severely for it. Matthew 6:13:\u201d\u2026for thine be the Kingdom and the power and the Glory.\u201dIt is God\u2019s kingdom, church, gospel, and his people and not ours. Pharaoh, Herod and others tried to take God\u2019s glory and they paid with their lives and anointing. Do not ever try to take God\u2019s glory because he will not share it with anyone.\nGod cannot break the covenant: Deuteronomy 7:9: \u201cnow, recognize, and understand therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God, Who keeps covenant and steadfast love and mercy with those who love Him and keep His commandments, to a thousand generations.\u201d The old testament, the new testament and the cross are covenants.
