Take the Limits Off!

““Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh; is there anything too difficult for Me?””

‭‭JEREMIAH‬ ‭32:27‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Ever felt limited? As if you can’t do anything right? Everything around you just seems to be going wrong and than you ask the question…..God where are you?

I have, and its such a horrible feeling to have. I woke up one morning feeling the three “D’s”. Defeated, Disappointed, and Discouraged. I also felt restrained, as if I had something wrapped around me that wouldn’t really let me move. This feeling of restriction was on me and I couldn’t understand why?

One thing I did know, was that I was dealing with a lot of doubt and unbelief. I kept going back and forth with God about a promise He gave me to stand on. My problem was that as much as He would speak to me and confirm His promise to me, I still had a hard time believing Him. I was wrestling with God, “God how do you expect me to believe your word, when all I see is the opposite of it.” I was honest with Him and told God that I was battling with unbelief and doubt all because the storm I was facing looked too BIG for God to fix.

Here I am driving to work after dropping the kids off to school, and I feel the restraints on me. I begin to pray in the car and ask the Holy Spirit to expose what it was. My first thought was, I’m being spiritually attacked! I start rebuking and praying against all the enemies powers over me, and coming against witchcraft and I prayed against the spirit of lack and limitations. Then finally, I paused and stood quiet in the car. I asked God one more time, “Why do I feel like I am being limited?” “Where is this feeling of restraints coming from?”

Then a surprising response. At the very moment while I approached the stop sign, He spoke to my heart and said these words, “Now you know how I feel when you limit me and limit what I can do for you.” Every light bulb that you can imagine went on and in that moment when I heard those words, the invisible restraints that I had wrapped around me finally were lifted off. I felt this sense of freedom.

I had limited God! I had placed Him in a BOX and pretty much told the God who created the universe that He was not capable to fix my problems. If I could run and hide I would’ve but you can’t hide from God. I asked for forgiveness, repented, and learned a valuable lesson that day. Take the limits off GOD!

God does not belong in a box. He is more than capable to do what He said He will do. His word will not lie or return void. God gave me a promise, and rather than believe and stand on that promise I chose to believe the lies of the enemy. I also allowed unbelief and doubt to define God.

So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please {and} purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:11 Amp

Now when I start to feel defeat, doubt, or unbelief try to creep in, I remind myself of what God had me experience. No more limitations or restraints on the God who is more than capable in resolving my issues. When His word says that noting is too hard for Him, believe Him.

Are you facing a situation today that just seems too hard for God to fix? If you are, just know that God can and will fix your situation. If He gave you a promise, hold on to it and declare it everyday until God moves and brings it to pass. 

Don’t limit God and continue to place Him in a box. If He parted the Red Sea and created the Universe and everything in it than He can surely act on your behalf and do what He says He will do. 

Prayer: 

Father, we thank you that you are all powerful and creator of all things. Today we take the limits off of you that we have placed on you due to our unbelief and doubt. We repent and ask for your forgiveness. We ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to us how we may be limiting you or placing restraints on you. We thank you that nothing is too hard for you and that you can and will fulfill the promises you have promised us. In Jesus name, Amen
