I was told a story about a girl who grew up in Asia as a Buddhist. She knew nothing of Jesus Christ or the Bible. The story was told that she got ahold of a Bible, read it from cover to cover, believed the words written, and began to live out a life like the one she read in scriptures.
She prayed prayers of healing for the sick, and the sick were healed. She spoke in boldness like the Apostles, and the lost were saved. She knew only the Jesus of the Bible, and the words in scripture, and she lived a life of power and difference! The girl became an unstoppable vessel for the Kingdom!
I wonder what would happen if I could erase all the images and opinions of Christianity, apart from what I’ve read in scripture? I wonder what would happen if all I knew of God was based strictly upon my personal relationship with Him? Would it change the way I interact with the body of Christ, and the lost and hurting people who need to know Him?
What if I could wipe out the thoughts about myself that limit my obedience and faith toward Jesus and the Word of God? What if I started with just the examples of those in scripture as my model? Would that change the power and authority I walk in?
I wonder if I began asking God to change my limited perspective of Him, to a limitless perspective of the Creator of the Universe? Would it release God’s unquenchable power through my life? And more importantly, would it stop me limiting God’s limitless ability in the lives of others?
All I know is I WANT MORE!
I desperately want to live true to the word of God. I want my intimate relationship with Him to be unmistakable and unrestricted! I want to live a life where I can set loose the chains that bind up the Power of God in my life, and the lives of others!
What do I need to do in order to live the life of FREEDOM granted to me through the blood of Jesus Christ? I want full access to the COMPLETE freedom in my mind, in my body, and in my soul!
How do I change my perspective from a limited God, based upon what I can comprehend, to a LIMITLESS God based upon the authority of scripture? How can I allow God’s freedom to flow limitlessly through me? I want to be an unstoppable vessel! I want to show other’s how to open wide the flood gates of victory through Jesus Christ!
I don’t want to live a POWERLESS and LIMITING life in Christ anymore!
If all authority on earth has been given to me as a believer; if demons and sin have to be loosed at the name of Jesus Christ; if sickness and disease must be healed by the power of the Holy Spirit, then I want to know how to get an all access pass!
Because if this is all true, which I believe it its, then all I know is I am living a mediocre Christian life, and I’m so over it!
I want to see an undeniable, unquenchable power and presence of God in my life time! I don’t want to set limits based upon what I know and what I don’t know… I just want Jesus to come like the Word of God says – in Power and Might, in Love and Mercy, and in Grace and Forgiveness.
Lord, Jesus, I don’t know what I have to do to allow you an all access pass in my life… but I am ready! Closing myself off to you only limits my access to you… and what I’ve got to hide isn’t worth keeping me from the FULLNESS of YOU!
Start in me Lord, so that I may show it to others…
The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples see His glory. Psalm 97:5-6
