God is limited by us. Of course, I don’t mean that He faces any real sort of limitation. What I mean is that we often limit the full power of God that could work through us. We limit Him by our fear, our doubt, and so much more. But, what if we didn’t? What if the full power of God was working in and through us? How would we live differently?
I think we’d live with a lot more freedom. We would find our identity in Christ. We would obey God in (seemingly) crazy ways. We would witness God work in ways we could never imagine.
God has given me a taste of how powerfully He wants to work through us. This week, I saw God heal people through prayer. He clearly uses us for His glory! We are His vessels (2 Timothy 2:21). He brings His Kingdom to earth through us, meaning He reconciles people to Himself (2 Corinthians 5:18), He heals, and He brings life through us. And it’s all to give God glory!
God has challenged the limitations I have put on Him. He is encouraging me to live boldly by the truth of who He says I am. What limitations have you placed on God?
Prayer changes things. Absolutely. Understanding what God’s will is in that change. Our hearts. The situation. Etc. Trusting that God’s power will work as you pray. It’s complex. Praying you through your training and for your team is a great honor and one that sometimes will have unknown words except that God will be with you and whatever that means.
Great words of truth. Unfortunately I find that I am finding new ways to limit God so I can remain in control. I need to abandon my need for control to Him who knows me best. Thank you for the insight. #PrayBoldly
Sophia, What an incredible blessing to see God at work and to be part of it! When God works, it’s for His glory. It also creates a witness for Him and a new testimony for us. It allows us to proclaim Him in new ways. I’m so excited to share in your walk as you witness God in new ways without the previous bounds of either your culture or your previous experience. May God grow without limitation for you (and for your partners, teammates, and those you meet along the way.) I love you and am praying for you! Mom
Dear Granddaughter of my heart!
I love following you in all that Our Saviour is teaching you!
I pray that He heals your cold, that He continues to give you, your team leaders and teammates strength, endurance, through rain and sunshine, through all your present and coming struggles, for His Glory!
I love you so dearly!

Yes, and Amen! Your wise words encourage me to pray big and bold prayers. I’m praying this morning for your health, and most importantly, for you to put on the full armor of God.
To God be the Glory, great things He is doing!
