Nothing is impossible

story is not new.
In the bible, we read of a certain lady who had a similar case or situation.
A Canaanite woman had a case which refused to move, change or to be solved, yet the whole story turned around for her good (Matthew 15:21-28).
How did she do it?
How can you also do it?
Read on.
You can achieve it by exercising faith.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1).
When you are believing God for something it’s not always instant, sometimes there will be resistance that is why you need to have stubborn faith, not just ordinary faith but “Stubborn Faith”.
It works, it is real, it is strong, and it is irresistible.
In verse 22, the Canaanite woman cried unto Jesus “have mercy on me, o Lord, thou son of David”, verse 23 “but he answered her not a word”.
1. Stubborn faith is never offended
Although Jesus ignored her, this woman knew her answer was with the Lord, she did not take offence.
It does not matter what you come across or what people say, keep standing on the word declaring what you want. You have to challenge your enemy and tell him that he has oppressed you all these years but now you are free.
2. Stubborn faith does not argue
Verse 24 when Jesus answered her “I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel” she did not argue with him, in fact verse 25 says “she came and worshipped him saying Lord help me”.
Don’t waste your time arguing, arguments do not change situations, stand on the word of God.
Verse 25, Jesus then says to her “it is not right to take children’s bread and to cast it to the dogs”.
She could have walked away offended but stubborn faith does not get offended and it does not argue.
3. Stubborn faith never gives up
She said to him “truth Lord; yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their master’s table.” Jesus was challenged by her determination, you have to challenge God, he just doesn’t perform.
Mark 2:3, Jesus in Capernaum: they brought to him a man who was sick of the palsy which was borne by four, when they could not come nigh unto him because of the press they uncovered the roof and they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay, the Bible says when he saw their faith he said to the palsy your sins have been forgiven thee.  You have to challenge God.
Nothing, if you believe and have faith in your heart, is impossible with God.  Whatsoever you desire, God will open doors for you.  If your miracle has been delayed it doesn’t mean it has been denied, you just have to wait a little longer. When you go to the doctor you spend hours in the queue believing that your time will come for him to see you, even if he goes out to lunch, you have faith that he will come back and see you.
What more with God?
When you exercise your faith things will come to pass, you can get a job even on a Sunday morning, without even going for an interview.
Declare that: “I am a child of God, I was born to rule over sickness, over situations and over any curse that was put on your family.  When I make a declaration I know it’s going to come to pass. Don’t listen to what people say, they will discourage you. Your faith must stand its ground and say ‘God said it; I believe it, that settles the matter.’”
Verse 28, challenged by her faith Jesus said to her “o woman, great is thy faith; be it unto thee as thou wilt.”
When you have stubborn faith it’s now according to your will not God’s will.
God honours your will.
People have to know and understand that God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly and above.  We don’t walk by sight, we walk by faith.  We trust God, we believe God, we know he does things, and we know he fights warfares before we get there.
What is it that you want?
Get the desire of your heart.
God opens doors, so don’t fear, stand on his word.
In the story of David and Goliath, David did not need a sword or a knife, he stood on the word of God declaring it (1 Samuel 17:47) for the battle is the Lord’s and he will give your enemy into your hands.
When you have stubborn faith your enemy will be destroyed by his own things. David smote Goliath with a stone and prevailed over him.  Verse 51: David ran and stood upon the Philistine and took his sword and slew him and cut off his head therewith.  The pit the enemy dug for you, he will fall into it. Don’t lose hope, don’t give up. Stand on the word declaring it.
