How to Operate in the Realm Where Nothing Holds You Down

When the Bible tells us that there is nothing impossible for God to do, have you experienced that truth at any point in your life? Today’s blog is just a reaffirmation that as long as you remain a child of God, and you trust God completely, you should experience and enjoy His protocol-breaking power. When God is ready to move, protocols bow to His will.

There are a handful of times people tell me things like “this is the way it is designed to be,” or “this is the policy,” or “you can’t move beyond this level because that is the way it is designed to be”. When I hear such things being said, I hold my breath and refrain from argument. What they are saying is not wrong, but they only say what they know. If they know and experience better, they will say better.

I have learned in this world that there are facts and there are truths. The facts are designed, arranged, and controlled by men. It is the reality, and it is not a lie. So, those who hold unto facts are not wrong. That is their reality, and they have not sinned by holding onto reality. Maybe they may be short-changing themselves by their short-sightedness. But they have not done anything wrong.

But some people have built courage based on their knowledge of God and their relationship with God to press on for more than just the mediocre level. They are not denying the policy or protocol; they have determined within themselves not to be limited by protocol or policy. What stops others will not stop them, and they are moving and pressing towards their goal, irrespective of boundaries set by men and not by God.

Job 22:28-29 says something profound. It says, “You shalt decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: And the light shall shine upon thy ways. When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, there is lifting up; And He shall save the humble person.” I so love this scripture, and I believe it's not a strange scripture to the ears of many, but only a few experience the efficacy and power of this scripture.  

Those who align with facts and stick to them have a very good excuse for failure. They accept their fate and do not challenge the status quo. For them, that is just the way it should be. They make friends with their limitations and never push back. The system is designed that way, and so nothing can be done to change it. Guess what, they never grow.

But for a very few, they can take the NO from God, but not from man. When the world is saying there is a casting down, they know that things that are seen and experienced in the physical have their root in the spiritual realm. While not arguing with what is seen, they take their battles to the spiritual realm and begin to upturn protocols and change patterns from the spiritual realm.

Guess what, they have the authority to do so, and it is given to them by their Father in heaven. Job 22:28 says, “they will decree a thing, and it shall be established.” They don’t just accept things as they are if such a thing is not working for them. They push boundaries from the spirit. They overturn human laws from the spirit. They don’t just sit still; they challenge what is challenging them because what they decree is established. For these ones, nothing is impossible for them.

There is a story in the Bible that explains what I am trying to get across. In Matthew 14:22-33, we will find the story of how Peter walked on water. If we say Jesus walked on water, it will not be too much of a big deal because this is Jesus, the Savior, the Son of God, the Messiah, the Christ. But who is Peter? He is just a fisherman, fortunate to be among the disciples of Jesus.

There were eleven other disciples in that boat, but it was only Peter who was bold enough to want to experience the impossible. While others watched on, Peter spoke, made a request, and walked on water like Jesus. While others in the boat accepted their fate and relied on the fact that it was impossible to walk on water, which is not a lie, Peter walked on water. He didn’t walk just on water; he walked with courage and faith and got what he asked for.   

Let me bring it home a little and share my own impossible experience with you.

There was a time, many years ago, when my husband and I were talking, and he mentioned that his job title and role were not at the same level as his salary scale when compared to his counterparts in other regions of his organisation. His salary and level were a little below the average, and for him, there was a good reason why it was so. And I just responded to him passively, not to worry that he would soon be promoted.

He took his time to school me and tell me how that is not possible. He gave me enough reasons why that can’t happen. He works there, not me, so I don’t have any moral justification to argue with him otherwise. But that word impossible was what I would contend with. Not with my husband, but protocols and systems must be rearranged to favor me because I am a child of God.

So, I began to pray. For many days, I prayed for my husband’s promotion like my life depended on it. Then one day, after I had stopped praying on it and even forgotten we even spoke about promotion, my husband called me to share the news. Someone somewhere in their organisation’s head office in another country, on another continent, took note of the fact that his salary grade and role did not align and immediately called for his promotion.

His boss was bypassed, his country's HR Director was bypassed, and just the person in charge of staff salary in the Human Resources department was called upon to re-adjust his salary for his new level, prepare a new salary package for him, and submit for approval with immediate effect. It was the personnel handling salary that informed him about what was happening behind the scenes (my husband never knew), and then he called me. He said Derin, you said they will promote me, and I argued. That was one of the moments I was super proud of the God I call Father.

In Matthew 19:26, Jesus tells us that with man, some things can be impossible, but with God, nothing is ever impossible. And then Philippians 4:13 tells us that we can do all things through Christ. Those who are in Christ and know His power will live above impossibilities because, though they are limited in themselves, Christ, through Whom they do all things, is not limited by impossibilities. And so, they are not limited by impossibilities.

More so in Isaiah 44:26, the God with Whom nothing is impossible says, He is the God who confirms the word of His servants, and performs the counsel of His messengers. Those who know their God and have built a deep connection with God will speak, and God will confirm it and even perform it.

So, now you will understand why some stay with facts and others push the limits and challenge the status quo, and then win while doing it. There is the fact, but then there is the truth. Those who stay on the facts may remain there, but those who stay on the truth they know about their God are those who do exploits. Remember what Daniel said in Daniel 11:32

So, I will finish off by saying, the facts are real. They are what they are, which is that they are the facts. They are based on human reality; they are limited, and so they are limiting. But there is a truth that sets free; that is based not on human reality but on the efficacy of Who God is, and of the truth of God’s impossibility breaking power. Those who rely on this truth are strong, and they do exploits; they move boundaries and operate in the realm of possibilities. They are not satisfied with their fate; they shape their destinies in the realm of the spirit.

If you belong to the category of protocol breakers and destiny builders, I congratulate you. If you are tired of staying small, tired of the limitations holding you down, and you want to be set free, the first step is knowing your God (and I will categorically say that the God you need to know is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ). Also know that you can only know God through Jesus. Spend as much time as you can, knowing your God, because it is those who know their God that can do exploits.
