GOD IS NOT LIMITED

Matthew 17:27 However, we don’t want to offend them, so go down to the lake and throw in a line. Open the mouth of the first fish you catch, and you will find a large silver coin. Take it and pay the tax for both of us.

Peter and Jesus had a tax bill to pay and as Peter obviously didn’t have the money to pay it, Jesus told him to go fishing and the first fish he came across would have a coin in it’s mouth which would pay both their bills. Now at that point Peter could believe Jesus or he could have cynically said “Yeah, right! You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Jesus says things to us all the time in scripture and we have the same choice to make. Are we going to believe what God’s word says or cynically reject it as too good to be true, or not applying to us? You see we’re only hindered by what we believe or rather what we don’t believe!😊

Mark 5:36 NKJV …Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid, only believe.” When we believe all things are possible with God we open up a door into the supernatural ability of God and it will help us overcome our fear. Jesus fully expected Peter to believe he could have what Jesus said he could have. 

Isaiah 40:12-13 talks about the God who held the oceans in His hand, and who measured off the heavens with his fingers. He asks who else knows the weight of the earth or who has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale, only our God. He’s expanding our minds to realise how powerful and big our God really is, so that the door to the unbelievable will be thrown wide open.

The Holy Spirit really wants us to get outside of our own limited understanding and let Him take us where His word draws a picture of what impossible looks like. When we believe our God is unlimited and more powerful than anything, then we’ll be able to be like Peter and just do whatever He tells us to do and we’ll have what He says we can have.😊Amen.
