* With God, the impossible is fully possible - but it requires a few things from us.

* Before Jesus rose into heaven He gave the disciples the “Great Commission” - marching orders on what to do and how to make an impact.

* This was an impossible thing to accomplish - no technology, phones, planes, translation software, etc.

* *** This would be like God telling us today to go an inhabit the planet Mars. Impossible.

* So how would they be able to do what He called them to do?

* The Holy Spirit - Jesus promised them that His helper would come.

* His Spirit would make it possible.

* *** This would be like God telling my 10 year old daughter Lundi to lead the Lakers to an NBA championship.

* But then if He gave her the spirit of Magic Johnson it would be possible.

* So when God has spoken to us and given us our marching orders, what are we to do?

* The same thing the disciples did. Three things:

* 1) They waited (Acts 1:4) - they didn’t charge off and do the thing.

* They moved at God’s pace, not their own.

* It took 10 days before the Holy Spirit showed up.

* 2) They prayed (Acts 1:13 Passion Version) - God delights in the prayer of the upright (Proverbs 15:8).

* 3) They gathered (Acts 2:1) - being together with others knits your hearts together.

* We are made for connection.

* How did God respond?

* Acts 2:2-4 - The Holy Spirit came and they were able to do the impossible.

* EX: we did these three things when we built our company from one office to 100.
