Scripture Fact:
“IF ANYONE CAUSES ONE OF THESE LITTLE ONES–THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN ME–TO STUMBLE;
IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR THEM TO HAVE A LARGE MILLSTONE HUNG AROUND THEIR NECK AND TO BE DROWNED IN THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA.”
🕯️ MATTHEW 18: 6
🛑 WAYS IN WHICH WE LIMIT GOD
WE NEED TO TAKE GOD OUT OF THE BOX!
We Are All GUILTY Of Putting GOD In A Box Only To Let Out On SUNDAYS, EASTER, CHRISTMAS, And/Or Other SPECIAL HOLIDAY-CELEBRATIONS.
WE SHOULD CURTAIL OUR RESTRICTIONS BY MOVING WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT
&
SPENDING MORE TIME MEDITATING AND STUDYING THE WORD OF GOD TO MAKE APPLICABLE TO OUR LIFESTYLE.
If we are all straightforward with each other, many people LIMIT and are LIMITING GOD'S work in our lives.
If it makes you feel any better, there are many of those who went before us, who restricted their:
• CREATOR.
** MOSSES
*** THOMAS
**** DAVID and the ISRAELITES all went through times where they CONFINED GOD by their PERSPECTIVES, LACK OF TRUST, SIN OR FROM JUST BEING HUMAN.
🕯️PSALM 78: 41-42
Explained About The ISRAELITES:
NUMEROUS TIMES
"YES, AGAIN & AGAIN, they TEMPTED GOD and LIMITED THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL 🇮🇱
📍LACK OF TRUST {FAITH} When we are going through things, a sure way to know where you are with GOD is the TRUST FACTOR.
We only want to TRUST when we are assured that things will work out the way that we planned.
Life is not like that, presumably as we already found out.
What we do is hold onto our will and our own strength for dear life.
Since it is a BLIND FAITH that we need at times, it is scary.
When we don't trust GOD to move on our behalf, WE ARE TAKING THE POWER FROM HIM TO HELP US MOVE MOUNTAINS.
✝️ "ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE GOD WITHOUT FAITH"
📍WE FEAR SACRIFICE {Fear Unknown}
We FEAR that GOD will make us do something that we don't want to.
Let's face it, we don't want that!
Sometimes we LIMIT GOD due to the FEAR that HE will make us give up something that is significant to us.
This can be our TIME, our POSSESSIONS, our MONEY or even our SIN.
BEING SELFISH KEEPS YOU ISOLATED, but GIVING CAN REPAIR and RESTORE.
GOD WORKS THROUGH PEOPLE AS HE DID THROUGH CHRIST.
What if CHRIST allowed selfishness to stop HIM from healing others because HE didn't want to relinquish personal time?
All of us would be in a different place and WITHOUT A SAVIOR.
📍WE LEAN ON OURSELVES
When we rely on our OWN POWER and TALENTS, we are LIMITING GOD in a BIG WAY as we can only do so much.
* MAN IS INCOMPLETE & INEFFECTIVE WITHOUT GOD.
** IF MAN IS EFFECTIVE, THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT FELT.
The Bible shared that we ought to:
"TRUST IN THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND LEAN NOT ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING"
🕯️PROVERBS 3: 5
Leaning on your own powers will short-circuit our ability to do great things.
Open up YOUR LIFE TO GOD more and allow HIM to MINISTER to you.
📍WE LIVE BY FEELINGS
If we are happy, GOD IS WITH US.
If we are depressed, GOD can't be around.
No matter how many times you want to mold GOD what based on emotion, it will be a waste of stamina.
GOD IS OMNISCIENT
GOD IS OMNIPOTENT
GOD is OMNIPRESENT:
HE is there if we are happy or not.
“IF WE ARE DISTRESSED, IT IS FOR YOUR COMFORT AND SALVATION,"
🕯️ 2 CORINTHIANS 1: 6-7
"IF WE ARE COMFORTED, IT IS FOR YOUR COMFORT, WHICH PRODUCES IN YOU PATIENT ENDURANCE OF THE SAME SUFFERINGS WE SUFFER.
&
OUR HOPE FOR YOU IS FIRM BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT JUST AS YOU SHARE IN OUR SUFFERINGS, SO ALSO YOU SHARE IN OUR COMFORT.”
When we look to the next EMOTIONAL HIGH, we are doing OURSELVES a DISSERVICE by not giving GOD the OPPORTUNITY to work DURING OUR LOWS .
📍WE SIN
When we are in SIN or BACKSLIDE, WE LIMIT GOD.
GOD can MODERN ANYONE'S HEART, but HE gave us FREE WILL and HE will not interfere with this.
"If we CONFESS our SINS, HE is FAITHFUL and JUST and WILL FORGIVE us of OUR SINS and PURIFY US FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS,"
🕯️I JOHN 1: 9 {Encourages}
SIN MAY DISTORT OUR COMMUNICATION WITH GOD AND HINDERS US FROM HEARING FROM HIM CLEARLY.
Always remember that HE'S A MERCIFUL GOD and HE will WASH you CLEAN from SIN.
You don't need to worry that HE won't receive you again.
📍YOU LACK EXPECTATION
DOUBTS ABOUT GOD ANSWERING OUR PRAYERS ? LIMITS HIM MOVING IN YOUR LIFE.
Also, this is not a fun way to live!
Regardless, of the reasoning for you not expecting good things to happen, YOU REALLY RESTRAIN GOD TO ELEVATE YOU TO NEW HEIGHTS.
THIS NOT ONLY LIMITS GOD, IT MAKES YOU COMPLACENT IN YOUR FAITH.
The Scripture Confirms That:
"GOD REWARDS THOSE WHO EARNESTLY AND/OR DILIGENTLY, SEEK HIM"
📍HEBREWS 11: 6 {KJV}
"BUT WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM:
FOR HE THAT DRAWS NEAR TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS, AND THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THEM WHO SEEK HIM OUT'."
BE EXPECTANT
EXPECT GOD TO DO GREAT THINGS AND EXPECT GOD TO GIVE YOU FAVOR.
CAN YOU FEEL A STIRRING?
GOOD.
A LIGHT' A FIRE IS LIT UNDER YOU!
📍PRAY CEASELESSLY
We place many constraints on GOD.
The good thing is that we can always return to HIM to TAKE THE LIMITS OFF.
🕯️GALATIANS 5: 1 Said:
"IT IS FOR FREEDOM THAT CHRIST HAS SET US FREE.
STAND FIRM, THEN, AND DO NOT LET YOURSELVES BE BURDENED AGAIN BY A YOKE OF SLAVERY.”
🆓💐🆓 LIVING a FREE LIFE DOESN'T MEAN IT WILL BE COMFORTABLE, BUT KNOWING THAT YOU ARE NOT ✈ FLYING SOLO✈️ MAKES THE PATH OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE RICHER.
💐 TRUST AND OBEY
🌹JESUS CHRIST IS LORD 🕊️
