While God can do anything He wishes to do, God will not do things that would be against His holy will or contradictory to His purposes. He can commit no sinful act, for example, for He is completel...

If God created the universe and the science which restricts it, then of course He can do anything, however He does things for a reason; you cannot expect Him to do something for no reason. God only does things when necessary. For example: You cannot walk on water just because you want to. However, God can sometimes do things which are impossible when they are necessary.

"With God, all things are possible " 
This is one of the most common statements that nearly everyone make. It comes up when people see the reality of human limitations in front of huge challenges. But how how true is that statement? 

Hundred percent cent true! God's word in Like 1:37 says it word verbatim and we know that the Bible is the ultimate truth. God is able to do all things by his omnipotent nature. If you reflect a moment about the fearful things he has done, you we will undoubtedly say all things are possible with Him. 

However, God is bound by his very nature to work according to his purposes for everything. And so, the fact that he can do something does not imply that He will do it. He was able to change the stone to become bread but didn't. He could have jumped down the boss of Jerusalem's temple but didn't, to even deny to suffer curse in the garden of Gethsemane but he didn't. All because of the purpose he needed to fulfill. 

Therefore, God is able to do all things but He is not bound by human curiosity to prove himself God, he is already God. He wants people to believe in Him even when they've not seen raw miracles done by Him before their eyes.

God can accomplish anything. Genensis 18:14; Jeremiah 32:27; Matthew 19:26. My favorite verse of these three is Jeremiah 32:27 (“Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?”) as I received as a verse to memorize at Scottsdale Bible Church in Scottsdale, Arizona, where I grew up. The church had an excellent Bible memory program for all ages, BMA (Bible Memory Association). Each week's lesson was topically arranged, and this was "The Omnipotence of God." 

When I am weak you make me strong,
When I'm poor, I know I'm rich for in the power of your name
All things are possible, all things are possible --Darlene Zschech Lyrics
"All Things Are Possible"

A quote from C. S. Lewis' book, The Problem of Pain:

"“His [God's] omnipotence means power to do all that is intrinsically possible, not to do the intrinsically impossible. You may attribute miracles to Him, but not nonsense. This is no limit to His power. If you choose to say, ‘God can give a creature free will and at the same time withhold free will from it,’ you have not succeeded in saying anything about God: meaningless combinations of words do not suddenly acquire meaning simply because we prefix to them the two other words, 'God can.' It remains true that all things are possible with God: intrinsic impossibilities are not things but nonentities. It is no more possible for God than for the weakest of His creatures to carry out both of two mutually exclusive alternatives; not because His power meets an obstacle, but because nonsense remains nonsense even when we talk it about God.”
