We can operate in a dimension where we can see things the way God sees them and operate in His power, in His Kingdom and His promises. Everything stems from relationship, and relationship comes from hearing God’s voice. We must think higher and realize there are higher consequences to our decisions. What we have been called to do is what we will be judged upon at the judgment day, not just what we actually do. We all have the same things to offer to the King and to build the Kingdom: Time, Talent, Energy, and Finances. What are you sowing of your time, talent, energy and finances to go after God’s presence? Do you want to operate without limits? Do you want the power of God to be with you and move through you? To enjoy the fruitfulness it will bring, it is up to ONE PERSON. That person is you. A fully surrendered person who wants to GIVE IT ALL.
Jesus provided forgiveness and freedom from sin. But it is up to every individual to decide who He will be to you. He will be someone you heard about and rejected, or the Jesus that you answer, as Peter did, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus came to awaken the reality inside of you that God loves you, He has given you a purpose, and Jesus’ death has qualified you to live the life God has intended for you. YOU are the “So what?” – YOU are the reason He came. Only YOU determine who He is in your life!
Being human is hard. However, even in the midst of our mess, our inabilities, and our wrong doctrine or wrong confession, His goodness shows up. And when His goodness is on our minds, the rest will align itself. His promises will become a reality as he carries us to the other side and fills up the valleys. We mus believe not to just win, but to be completely whole…because of the knowledge of HIS CHARACTER.
When we walk through hardship in life, it’s all too easy to focus on the storm instead of the Savior. God wants us to keep our eyes fixed on Him. Even when life seems scary or painful, God is still there. He is good and completely deserving of our trust. He is the only One who will not let us down. When we trust Jesus fully, we find freedom from life’s circumstances, knowing that God is seeing us, He is hearing our cries, and He has a plan to come to us. He loves us more than we can imagine.
Many times in life we feel that God has abandoned us, especially in the hard times. But God has promised that He would never leave us. Pastor Dawn focuses on this truth of God's Word, and that if we will just keep our eyes on Him, we will realize that He is always with us. When it seems that everything is going wrong, and doubts begin to rise, we need to remind ourselves how faithful God has been.
God is good. God is love. He said He would never leave us or forsake us. Sometimes our perspective can be clouded in the midst of hardship and circumstances, and we can blame God for all our problems. But if we know Him and know His character, we know we can trust Him, and He will work everything together for our good.
Our enemy uses condemnation to cause separation in our relationship with God. However, we have a magnificent King and Priest. He loves us unconditionally, and He has provided grace and mercy, so that we can come to Him - freely and boldly - to where LOVE is enthroned. (Hebrews 4:16) TPT Limitless ACCESS to the Father! Limitless relationship with Jesus! That's abiding in Him!
God wants more than to be an acquaintance with you. He wants to be your friend and He wants you to be His friend. God’s intentions have never changed, but we are in process of becoming a friend of God. He is not interested in perfection – He is interested in connection. To live a limitless life, we must abide in Him! By abiding in Him, we will come to know His love, and our joy will be full.
God has not limited us to a life that is boring and dull, and without purpose. He has given us a life to be lived WITH Him. He was communicating the heart of God to His disciples, inviting them to come to know Him and to trust Him at a different level. He made it clear that we are actually built to enjoy relationship with GOD Himself while on this earth, not just when we get to heaven. We can have a limitless relationship with God now!
Once you have been with Him, experienced His love, you are changed. Receiving His unconditional love will change your actions. When you find His love, you will have the ability to love yourself. When His love touches you, you will touch and love others differently. God the Father, the Creator of the universe, CHOSE to love you! That is your identity – a loved child of the Most High God!
