What Nothing can be

In Luke 1:37 we  read: "With God nothing is impossible".
I have often heard this interpreted as meaning that God can do anything and everything. Yes, that is true for we know God is omnipotent ---all powerful. Then today I heard a preacher give a totally new thought (to me) about this statement.  He said to  him it had come to mean that when God is present or involved it is not possible for "nothing" to happen.  Now that is exciting. If we pray about a situation and God is present it is impossible for nothing to happen there, and since God is good then something good must happen.  If our walk is with God then it is impossible for nothing to happen -- something of God's will is present each moment of every day!  Going to a church service ? If God is present something has to happen.
Now that is a nothing I want to meditate on!

Today a speaker I was listening to said something I have heard oftimes before and probably said myself. When speaking of bad events in life he said they happen because `` we live in a fallen world ``. Today the Spirit was having nothing of it ! As I discussed it in my spirit I heard three things:

1: Jesus came to redeem the world. John 1:29

2:  Jesus said ``It is finished`` and gave up His Spirit! John 19:30

3: Revelations 12:11 tells us ```they have defeated him (the evil one) by the Blood of the Lamb and by their testimony.``

If I am on the right side of the cross my testimony should be , ``I live in a redeemed world!  Praise God ``

And thus today the Spirit has straightened me out on this matter!
