In , He is called the God of all flesh to whom nothing is too difficult. tells us that He is the Everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. says that our God is in the heavens and does as He pleases. In , He is called Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending. He is also called the One who was, is, and is to come. This means that in Him, the past, the present, and the future come together.

A man once had problems with one of his kidneys and was spending 200,000 weekly on dialysis. For a kidney problem like his, the best solution doctors can proffer is a kidney transplant if they can find a suitable donor. Even with such transplants, success is not guaranteed. The man was sitting somewhere in the congregation during one of our services when the Lord said, “Receive your healing.” Instantly, he became healed. This is what only the Almighty God can do; He can reverse what men have deemed hopeless. I don’t know of any medication that can change an SS blood genotype to AA, but I have heard many testimonies of the Almighty God doing this. He alone can reverse the irreversible. As we read in today’s Bible reading, He can make dry bones live again. He alone can turn a completely hopeless situation around for the better.
The story of the dry bones in today’s Bible reading also reveals the kind of people who will experience such miracles. The dry bones were completely helpless, but I have discovered, in my little walk with God, that He delights in helping the helpless. My God is the helper of the helpless; He is called the Ever-present Help in times of trouble ().
Beloved, if you are currently in a situation that seems hopeless, turn to God like David did and say, “My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth” (). He will step into your situation and help you. I pray that God will reverse any situation that people have considered to be completely hopeless in your life. He will glorify Himself in such situations and give you a wonderful testimony, in Jesus’ name.
