Lifting: Black Women and Gendered Double Consciousness
November 25, 2019Limitless
What’s stopping you? Do you not know that the God of heaven is limitless. He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Now is the time to boldly walk in purpose. Can you sense it? Ask for clarity as it relates to your vision and dream without limits.
So…what is stopping you? I challenge you to be limitless. If you have faith in God what could stop you? My latest book, Kingdom Perseverance, challenges believers to pursue their purpose with tenacity, not giving up, but reaching toward their destiny. There’s a story in Luke 5 where Jesus is in a house, “and the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick” (Luke 5:17). So the house was filled with people. A few men carrying a paralyzed man went to the house but couldn’t get through the crowds. The men then went up on the roof of the house and lowered the man into the home right in front of Jesus. When Jesus saw their faith – he forgave them of their sins and also healed the paralyzed man.
I like these guys. They didn’t see the crowd and think, “we’ll just have to catch Jesus later because we can’t get through.” They found another vantage point – their vision was without limits, and their faith caused them to move, to execute.
Limitless is defined as without end, limit, or boundary. It is also noted as, boundless, unlimited, or bottomless. Here are my top three tips for living a limitless life;
1. Know God – We have socially constructed God in a box, but God is without limits. If you fathom that God spoke our world into existence with His voice alone and that He laid the earth’s foundations, marked off its dimensions, shut up the sea, all while the morning stars sang (Job 38: 2-9) your faith should be without limits. It is our greatest joy to know God. I pray that God would give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation that you might know Him (Ephesians 1:17).
2. Trust God – Now that you know how Mighty God is surely you should place all of your trust in Him. Trusting God dismantles fear and gives you peace that is indescribable (2 Samuel 7:28).
3. JUMP! – Here’s the point of it all…just jump. Take that leap, the risk, fly above the clouds, soar like an eagle. Jump with the courage that God gives you. Jump into purpose and reach your destiny.
Here is an excerpt from Kingdom Perseverance – the Limitless Prayer;
Father in the name of Jesus
I thank you for being limitless
Lord you are able to do immeasurably more than I can ask or think according to your power that is at work in me
God I declare that I am limitless
I will expand my thinking and set my vision according to what I know about your goodness
I will not be limited by resources or circumstances
I declare that my borders are expanding
My influence is expanding
I have a limitless supply of power because I am connected to You
Lord break the limitations off my mind
Destroy the barriers that hinder me from fulfilling my purpose in excellence
Cause my purpose to burst forth like the sea
Multiply my capacity and increase my greatness
