Renewing the Mind - Breaking Through Limitations
All Things are Possible
Have you ever heard the statement, "The sky is the limit"? Have you ever asked why does the sky have to be the limit when there is a universe to be discovered?
The First Moon Walk - The Sky is NOT the Limit |
What ever happened to the dreams, visions and proposals of the believer? Why are we limiting ourselves to the sky? A limit is a final or the furthest boundary; a ceiling or an end-point. Limitations keep us bound in our minds and subsequently in our physical, natural realm. God's original intention for us never consisted of limitations. Adam did not have limitations until he sinned and guilt, shame and self-centeredness entered the scene. When a person focuses on themselves and not on who they belong to and who they are in Christ, they become limited in their thinking. And as the Proverb states, "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.....", therefore a limited thought life is a limited life. Limited thinking comes into play when we lean to our own understanding. Having a proclivity to act on your own is a result of a mind that has not been renewed, is not in the process of being renewed and lacks trust in God.
Renewing is a three part word; it consists of a root word, a prefix and a suffix. Once you've looked into the meaning of all three parts you get this definition: to go back again to what appeared the first time so that true results can be produced. Thus, we can conclude that limited thinking can be broken when we commit to renewing our minds with the Word of God. The word of God is Spirit and Life; it is Truth. It is more real than what you see in the physical world. Therefore, let it convince you of the fact that what you have seen a dreamed about is real, only untapped.
Let me leave you with this, if an airplane is grounded, then it can't operate in its purpose because it was designed to fly. A bird whose wing is broken is not going to be able to operate in its God-given purpose because it was made to fly. A mind that is not renewed is a mind that is broken, corrupted and grounded. It will never be able to see fully who they are, why they are here and what they are designed to be. It won't be able to tap into the impossibilities. With God ALL THINGS are possible.
I pray that you were helped by this word on "Breaking Limitations".
Our theme for this quarter is "Getting to know who God really is: Renewing your mind".
