Don't Limit God


"Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over {and} above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]--"                              Ephesians 3:20.  Amplified Bible

Let me tell you something - HE IS ABLE! He is able to help with whatever troubles you; whatever you need; whatever you want; whatever you desire. He's not a Santa Clause figure - no, He is God, but He is still able. Note the word, 'Able' and take it on board. He is very able.

The New Kings James Version quotes the phrase- exceedingly abundantly. This is what we studied the other day in John 10:10. In other words He can give you superabundance, more than you can ever imagine. He meets our needs and wants (Psalm 23:5), according to the power that works within us. This statement is two-fold. Firstly, we need to believe that He is able to do whatever we ask or whatever He tells us and, secondly, realise that we have His power working within us. Sometimes, we may believe that He can do whatever but fail to realise that the One who tells us this, dwells within us. Yes, the creator of this world, the One who died on the cross for each one of us, lives in our hearts - if we've invited Him in.

Smith Wigglesworth used to say, 'If God said it, I believe it and that settles it.' Nothing would persuade him differently. Again, Oral Roberts said, 'Don't ever think small again.' Don't limit Him at all. He can do it, He is able. 

This includes healing, supply and provision, our needs and our wants. He's Our Father. He loves us and He wants to bless us - His children, so that we can be a blessing to others:

"6 But this I say, He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound towards you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work."
                                                                                         2 Corinthians 9:6-8   NKJV

All of this seems confusing and impossible to unbelievers. Many believe that it is impossible to believe that Heaven exists and if we believe in Jesus, we will live there one day. But God is able to do this wonderful blessing - nothing is unbelievable with Him. He can do far above what we think. He is the power working in us and can and will do what He chooses, and that means anything you could ever think of and also the things that you have never thought of either.  'What you mean is?' 'Yes that's right- He can'.

This year make it your purpose to get into superabundance thinking. God is rich,He always was. He is rich in everything. Don't limit Him. Whatever He tells you, believe Him and call it in. Whatever you ask Him for in prayer, believe that He has heard you and stand on that. Don't ever think small again. We serve a big, awesome God!
