And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. 35 Women received back their dead, raised to life again. 

Through faith, people can do the miraculous; they are enabled to achieve the impossible;

Through faith, people can do the miraculous; they are enabled to achieve the impossible. Let’s not miss the point that God uses ordinary, flawed human-beings, just like you and me, to do great things. These things are done ”through faith” but still it is people doing it. This does not mean we can achieve any impossibility we randomly choose. What it does mean is that we will be enabled to do anything God asks of us.

“God’s plan is to make much of the man, far more of him than of anything else. Men are God’s method. The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men. ” E.M. Bounds, Power Through Prayer
