2 Corinthians 13:5<\/strong> – Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?<\/p>\n

Psalm 26:2<\/strong> – Examine me, O LORD, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.<\/p>\n

– – – –<\/p>\n

As you are embarking on your day today, let us take a moment to consider our limits. Limits are commonly defined as the furthest extent of one’s physical or mental endurance. More often than not the limits we consider dominant are the ones that are self-applied.<\/p>\n

There have been so many times that I have seen the limits go on me and others over the silliest of things. I have literally seen church services die out (in a matter of minutes) and not be fruitful or successful to the pulling down of strongholds because the body of Christ had limited themselves because of their lack of belief in Christ! The saddest part of all was that the only people that truly lost out in the end were those that were truly lost. God is looking for a people that know that they are not limited by what the mind would try to present in a time of trouble.<\/p>\n

Take the time to remind yourself today that God has no limits. A great thing to tell yourself each and every day is that \u201cI am as strong in God as I allow myself to be\u201d All the tools that you need to get you where you need to go are already there for you; you just have to begin to use them! Take the limits off of yourself, and be who God has called you to truly be!<\/p>\n

– – – –<\/p>\n

Put Into Practice:<\/h2>\n

Verbally recognize some limits that you have put on yourself. An example may be \u201cI do not allow myself to praise God like I should\u201d or \u201cI do not pray like I need to\u201d I am asking you to do it verbally because we often can hide it or deny it more easily mentally. Sometimes speaking it out loud makes us consider what we say.<\/p>\n

After you think about a couple self-applied limits, pray that God help you to take off all of the limits that you have set on yourself. Learn to be greater than the bondage applied!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
