No Limitations
Good Morning, I pray that you will be blessed in Christ and experience victory today and every day. You are not ordinary because you have been born from above. You are His child and that means you are more than an overcomer through Jesus!
You need the Holy Spirit to be able to live by the Spirit. It is the essence of real relationship with God. True faith has heard from the Holy Spirit and believes, despite whether or not it can be seen in the natural. It produces supernatural power to be and do based on what God says. Just like it says in,
Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Word - Rhema; an utterance. Rhema is when you perceive God is speaking to you. It is not merely reading the logos which means a written word recording what God spoke. Rhema is not about reading comprehension. The idea is that whether you read it to yourself or hear it spoken in some other way you received it as God speaking to you personally. That is when His word is Rhema that produces faith. It is more than just agreement with the truth because you cannot deny it. It is way more personal than that. It is His word spoken and applied to you personally that makes it Rhema. So what kind of faith does this kind of hearing produce?
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Substance - in the Greek means a setting under (support), i.e. (figuratively) concretely, essence, or abstractly, assurance (objectively or subjectively): — confidence, confident, person, substance.
According to Scripture faith is when you are absolutely convinced of something because you are confident God spoke it to you personally. Therefore you believe it whether you see physical evidence of it in the now or not. It is not dependent upon a change of circumstance to be active. This kind of faith has substance and produces a sure hope that cannot be shaken. It is the kind of faith that produces action and direction.
Faith is not strong desire. Many times strong desire is mistaken for faith, but it is not faith. It is so similar to faith, many fail to discern it. Strong desire mimics being full of hope, but it is a generic kind of hope, more like a wish upon a star kind of hope. It is the kind of hope that goes away if the thing hoped for is not manifested quickly in the natural, therefore it is easily discouraged and discarded. Strong desire can subtly lead to manipulating others to satisfy it. Strong desire is subject to circumstances. A lack of natural evidence can end it. It’s not grounded in a personal word from God that is confidently believed. Abraham had something more than just a strong desire, he had a real faith that kept him on journey with God despite any lack of natural evidence. He knew what he had heard from God and he was convinced and it shaped his life.
Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; 10 for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
It was faith in what God said that enabled Noah to spend a 100 years building an ark to save his household while preaching to his generation despite no evidence of water and ridicule and rejection from others.
Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
When you know by faith who He says you are, and what you can do, you manifest it. In Christ, you are set free from being limited by your natural weaknesses or abilities just as Jesus said, all things are possible to him who believes! Your natural attributes do not determine how He can use you. God using you is always based on how the Holy Spirit wishes to flow in and through you. The Holy Spirit is a gift to us by faith and He empowers willing vessels. By faith you can be, have and do anything God says! There are, No Limitations!
Always remember that you are loved with an everlasting love by a faithful God who cannot lie and you have everything you need in Christ. Go and enjoy the adventure that is yours when you live submitted to the Holy Spirit each day!
