Limiting God

There are many people these days that have reached a place of hopelessness and are giving up, I know I've been there, but we must never let them give up. We must continue to give hope to the hurting and lost, otherwise we are Limiting God. The Lord had me write this so that we could all see that giving up does have consequences.

Giving Up Has Consequences - We limit God:
When we say we are giving up on someone, we are saying that we are giving up on God and thereby limiting with we will allow Him to do.  God the Father created everyone on this earth. Let's see.

 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”  (Gen. 1:26-27)

The Word says that God created man in His own image after His likeness.  Would God give up on His own image?  Father God believes in His own creation.  We who are born of God should desire to see all walk in the image after the likeness of God and allow the Christ (anointing) in us to bring them to that place by breathing life into them.

He did not put man in a class.  He said man was created in His own image and that means that even the unsaved were created in His image. This includes prostitutes, drug addicts, gamblers, murderers - everyone... sinners including me.  The point is God created everyone. They may not look or act like we want but that does not change what the Word says.  They are potential family and that is the way we should see it.  God sees each one as a part of His family.  We know that the Father wishes that none perish but we know according to the Word that some will perish.

We as Family members of God the Father should never be quick to give up on anyone.  Love will keep seeing them the way the "Word" sees them. We are totally opposite of the way the world is.  The world always talks failure but the Kingdom of God always speaks Life into another.  The world gives up on people but God does not and neither do we.  He always sends hope.  If we do not give the lost and hurting hope we are doing exactly what the world does.  Hope is the blueprint of a person’s life.  We create that blueprint within them.

We are talking of God’s creation - the Kingdom of God and not a man made system.  We know that the day of wrath is coming upon the Earth and many will not make it, but God will continue giving them the choice to be saved and the choice to change.  It is their choice but if we continue believing and praying for God’s people things will change.

Many have been given nothing but hopelessness.  Every direction they turn people turn their backs on them.  We are to be their Faith.  We have to believe for them.  If we give up on them and they have no Faith, God cannot move in their lives because He moves on Faith and therefor we limit God if we don't move in Faith.  Someone has to stand in the gap on his or her behalf.  The one to stand in the gap is you and me, the born again believer.  Jesus stood in the gap for us.  He never gave up.  His love for us drove Him to the cross.

 “The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.  For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.  When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.”

(Matt. 8:8-10)

The Lord keeps showing more in this scripture.  The centurion did not believe for his healing but for another person.  He had the faith for another person to be healed.  It doesn’t say whether the servant believed to be healed or not.  The point brought out was that the centurion was standing in the gap believing on someone else’s behalf.  The servant was healed.  The centurion gave Jesus something to move on. Faith was activated.

This shows if we continue speaking God’s Word in Faith for someone it WILL manifest, maybe not as quick as we would like, but the Word does not return to the Father void.  His Word puts pressure on the person and circumstances for which you are standing in the gap.

If we say that a person is not going to amount to anything, we are going against God’s Word and speaking the opposite of the Word, and "Really Limiting God".  When we speak opposite of His Word, we are saying that we have given up on God and given into the god of this world, the producer of hopelessness Satan.

My encouragement to you is to never give up on anyone.  See them the way Jesus sees them and Love them the way Jesus loves them.  We are separate from the way the world thinks and sees people and must act accordingly.

God the Father will show you how to pray for His people.  If there is someone in your life that seems to have had everyone give up on them be the one to stand in the gap and bring forth fruit in their lives.

Ask the Christ to show you if you have given up on anyone because of the circumstances that you see for that person, repent and change your thinking.  Our Heavenly Father forgives you.  Change the news in the life of that person.  Give them that blueprint.

It is neither God’s nature to give up, but it is His nature to give.  If you are born of God that is to be our nature as well, or we limit God.
