CHAPTER 1: GOD KNOWS NO LIMIT The God we serve is a God Who knows no limit. Say that out loud right now as you begin this book: “The God we serve is a God Who knows no limit.” Think about what you are saying as you say it once more: The God we serve is a God Who knows no limit!” God is unlimited…yet man limits an unlimited God. God is completely unlimited as to time or space or condition…or to any concept for that matter. He is all powerful, all authoritative, all creative. Absolutely nothing is impossible to Him. There is no limit to His ability, no limit to His love, no limit to His mercy, no limit to His bountifulness, no limit to His desire to bless His people. He is completely unlimited…yet most people, even Christians, limit an unlimited God. They see Him in narrow concepts. The purpose of this book is to help you take the limit off God, to help you cut God loose to work for you not according to your limited capacity but according to His unlimited ability! Man is a creature so infinitely inferior to the Creator, God, that it is hard to imagine how man can have anypower with God. Yet he does. Made of the dust of the earth, enjoying life only by the inbreathing of God, absolutely dependent on God for all provision…yet man has both the power and the tendency to limit God to the tiniest fraction of what He would and could be in that life and experience. There are many, many ways and reasons why we limit God. Many of these reasons have to do with background or environment. Many of them have to do with tradition. God has been presented to us within certain limits by our parents, our pastors, our teachers, our peers…and we see Him only within those limits. “That’s the way it is” or “That’s the way we do it” gets to be the program and the practice in our churches and in our lives. “That’s the way it has always been done.” “That’s the way my grandmother did it.” “That’s the tradition.” We also limit God by our experiences or our natural ability to experience. How often people say, “Show me a miracle, and I will believe, but until then, I won’t believe anything I don’t see. I won’t accept anything I can’t touch.” There is a main reason that we limit our unlimited God. It is at the base, the root of all the other reasons we might give
