Don’t Limit God


                                              

     Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel (Psalm 78:41).
   Do you know it’s possible to limit God in your life? A lot of people have unconsciously placed limits on what the Lord can do in their lives. For example, there’s a young guy who wants to get a job and all he prays is “Oh Lord, please let my application be accepted in so and so company.” He places so much emphasis in his prayer on his letter of application, thinking that God must do it that way. Unknown to him, he is limiting God, because he fails to realize that God could give him that job any other way, or even a better one.
  Listen, when God wants to do something, He doesn’t have to follow the way that men have laid down –he overrides all human ‘modus operandi’. When Joshua was plotting how to overthrow Jericho, a city whose walls were almost impregnable, God showed up and said, “Boy, get rid of the city for seven days and shout, and the walls will fall down flat” (Joshua 6). What a strategy! God didn’t say, “Now, Joshua, let’s roll out the bulldozers and tractors”; He had to get Joshua out the box he was in, and everything went as God had said.
  Don’t ever place a limit on God. You limit Him when you think that the only way He can get something done is the way you think he will do it. He is too big to be tied down to man’s way of doing things. When he does His thing, He doesn’t need to do it according to your plans. Trust Him, because He is God Almighty, and He is able to do”…exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” (Ephesians 3:29).

You are alive by the Spirit

    But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you Romans 8:11. God gave birth to us by the Word, through the spirit. You’re not ordinary person if you are in Christ or if you have the new life in Christ Jesus. The human life you received from your parents has been replaced, supplanted, by the divine life of Christ. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of corruptible, by the word of god, which liveth and abideth forever.”    Often, I tell people that Christianity is more than a legal document; it’s a vital experience; there’s a true life from Christ beating in your heart which is the new life in Christ Jesus. The natural man (anyone without the New Life in Christ Jesus or anyone who is not born again) lives by blood, but a Christian lives by the Spirit. No wonder Jesus, referring to the ne...

The Reign of Death is over

  Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come (Romans 5:14)  Satan became the god of this earth because he got it from Adam who lost out through disobedience, resulting significantly in the reign of death. Remember, God had told Adam, “… in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:17). He was talking about spiritual death; spiritual death is the cause of physical death. So, our theme verse says, “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses (the Law of Moses)…”  But who had the power of death? The Bible says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil” (Hebrews 2:14). Satan was actually behind this reign of death. Now, here’s something exciting that I want ...

The Divinity of Jesus

   “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father; but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, have seen him” John 14:6-7.   “Is Jesus really God?”   This is one question many still ask today. They believe He was a great prophet and teacher, but find it difficult to accept that He is Himself God, but He is. The Bible says “In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God ” John 1:1. That “Word” that the Bible says “was God” became flesh-Jesus- and dwelt among us: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:14.     Now, the prophecy that came forth before the birth of Jesus also foretold His divinity: “Behold, a virgin shall be with a child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanue...
