Text: John 11:38-44
Memory text:
“Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.””
Mark 9:23 NKJV
Someone once said, “The God who created life is greater than the limits of life.” How true is this statement. This thought flows from the idea that while biology has limits, God does not.
Biology is the science of life. It studies how our bodies grow, function, and eventually decline and the limits built into it. For example, biology sets rules for life such as: the brain can only survive a few minutes without oxygen; once heart tissue dies after a massive heart attack, it doesn’t regrow. These are fixed biological laws, that is, the “rules of life.”
Medicine can not rewrite biology, nor can it erase the boundaries, but only works within the boundaries that biology has set by using biological knowledge to help people live healthier and longer.
However, God is not subject to the boundaries that biology sets.
“Jesus said, “Everything is possible for the person who has faith.” (Mark 9:23 GNT)..
Faith teaches that God is not bound by biology, time, or even death. When biology says “there is no way,” God can still act in ways beyond what science can measure.
Biology said it was impossible for Abraham to father a child at 99 years and for Sarah to conceive at 90 years! Concerning Lazarus, biology said that once cells die and organs shut down, life can not return. Medicine works only with living systems — it can not restart a body that has been dead for days. Biology set the rule. When Jesus called out, “Lazarus, come forth!” (John 11:43), life returned. Cells that had died responded. Organs that had collapsed restarted. What biology declared “finished,” God declared “possible.” Biology sets the rule: “The dead cannot live again after decomposition.” Medicine stood powerless: “There is nothing more we can do.” God stepped beyond both: “I am the resurrection and the life.” (John 11:25).
Biology speaks impossibility, but God speaks possibility (Luke 1:37). Biology explains what is naturally possible and sets a finish line for what medicine can achieve.
Friends, faith enters when you believe that God is not bound by biological limits and that He can heal even when cells won’t repair.
Prayer points
1. Father, where biology says my body can not recover, and medicine says there is no solution, let Your resurrection power bring total healing in Jesus’ name.
2. Father, where age, weakness, or sickness have set limits, let Your supernatural strength lift me beyond those boundaries in Jesus’ name.
Today’s declarations
1. While I appreciate science and medicine, I do not limit my faith to what science or medicine says, but I believe in the God who can do exceedingly above all human understanding.
2. As my body ages, my strength is renewed like the eagle. I live a strong, healthy, vibrant, and fruitful life.
