“Eternal God of Israel, You are unparalleled among the gods of heaven and earth. You honor Your covenants with Your servants and give LIMITLESS LOYAL LOVE to those who faithfully follow You. - 2 Chronicles 6:14 (VOICE)
HOW TO LIVE A LIMITLESS LIFE:
1. ACKNOWLEDGE THAT GOD IS LIMITLESS
7 “Can you understand [discover] the secrets [deep things] of God? Can you search [discover] the LIMITS of the Almighty [Shaddai]? 8 His LIMITS are higher than the heavens; you cannot reach them [ what can you do]! They are deeper than the grave [Sheol]; you cannot understand them! - Job 11:7-8 (EXB)
The Lord answered Moses, “Is the Lord’s power LIMITED? You will see whether or not what I have promised will happen to you.” - Numbers 11:23 (HCSB)
2. ACKNOWLEDGE THE THINGS THAT LIMIT YOU
• Unrenewed thoughts and failure-mentality will limit your potential and power
“A LIMITING BELIEF is a STATE OF MIND or belief about yourself that restricts you in some way. These beliefs are often false accusations you make about yourself that can cause a number of negative results.” ~ Asana.com
5 People who live following their sinful selves think only about what they want. But those who live following the Spirit are thinking about what the Spirit wants them to do. 6 If your THINKING is controlled by your sinful self, there is spiritual DEATH. But if your THINKING is controlled by the Spirit, there is life and peace. 7 Why is this true? Because anyone whose THINKING is controlled by their sinful self is against God. They refuse to obey God’s law. And really they are not able to obey it. - Romans 8:5-7 (ERV)
• Unbridled words and evil-speaking will limit your faith and future
The tongue has the POWER of LIFE and DEATH, and those who love to talk will have to eat their own words. - Proverbs 18:21 (GW)
• Undisciplined behavior and actions will limit your goals and dreams
24 Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! 25 All athletes are DISCIPLINED in their TRAINING. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. 26 So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. 27 I DISCIPLINE my body like an athlete, TRAINING it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be disqualified. - 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (NLT)
A disciple is not better than his teacher. But everyone who is FULLY-TRAINED will be like his teacher. - Luke 6:40 (ISV)
3. TAKE OFF ALL THE LIMITS ON YOUR LIFE
1 You’re blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God. 2 You’re blessed when you follow His directions, doing your best to find Him. 3 That’s right—you don’t go off on your own; you walk straight along the road He set. 4 You, God, prescribed the RIGHT WAY TO LIVE; now you expect us to live it. 5 Oh, that my steps might be steady, keeping to the course you set; 6 Then I’d never have any REGRETS in comparing my life with your counsel. - Psalm 119:1-6 (MSG)
• Live without Regret or Remorse
• Live in Purpose with Intentionality
• Live without Limits to Fulfill your God-given Destiny
18 …Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths! Rise to the heights! 19 LIVE FULL LIVES, FULL in the FULLNESS of God. 20 God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! - Ephesians 3:18b-20 (MSG)
