  1. Youth Devotional - The Impossible Dream With God you can achieve the impossible. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com

  2. Doctors and scientists said it was impossible!Man could not run a mile in less than 4 minutes!He would die in the foolish attempt.It was an Impossible Dream. Our bone structure was wrong.Wind resistance was too great.We had inadequate lung power.Our heart could not take the strain. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com

  3. 25 year-old Roger Bannister wasn’t listening.He endured thousands of monotonous laps,Around the same university track,Determined to shape his body and his mind. May 6, 1954, at Oxford University in England,Was viewed as simply another attempt,In a history of foolish attempts,To achieve the Impossible Dream. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com

  4. Yet at the end of the race the stop-watches held a different view.The results were announced.‘Result of one mile… time, 3 minutes…’The rest was lost in the roar of the crowd. Roger Bannister blazed across the finish line,In a time of 3 minutes, 59.4 seconds.The Impossible Dream was now an event for the history books,Considered one of the greatest feats in sports history. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com

  5. 46 days after Bannister’s breakthrough,The record was broken again by a different runner.By the end of 1957,16 runners had achieved the Impossible. Runners did not suddenly get “better” in those few short years.They simply began to believe.Running a mile in less than four minutes was not only possible,It had been achieved! www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com

  6. To date, 955 runners have achieved the Impossible DreamAccomplishing the feat an incredible 4700+ times. Many of life’s barriers and obstacles come from within.We create limits for ourselves.But once those barriers are broken,We realize the biggest barriers are our beliefs. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com

  7. What beliefs are keeping you from achieving your dreams?Don’t accept them. Don’t listen to the voices of doubt. Forge ahead in faith and you tooCan achieve Impossible Dreams! www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com

  8. “Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”-Matthew 19:26 “But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord…”- James 1:6-7 www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com

  9. Take it to the Next Level Belief plays a significant part in the life of believers.  We believe in Christ for salvation.  And through our faith in Him, God does the impossible.  As William Carey, pioneer missionary of the modern missions movement, said, “Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God.” www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com

  10. And like Roger Bannister we may have seemingly impossible dreams. As William Carey, pioneer missionary of the modern missions movement, said, “Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God.” Unlike Roger Bannister, we don’t do things for earthly accolades, but for the rewards of heaven, that one day we might stand before God and hear, ‘Behold my servant, in whom I am well pleased.” www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com
