Beyond All Limits

He will begin to flood those compartments with His word so that there is not enough room for both. You will have to make a decision, more of Jesus or hang on to worldly things.

When you make up your mind to be all for Jesus, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit gives you the power to do just that.

If your Christian walk is based on a set of rules and regulations, then it becomes no different than any other religion. However, when your Christian faith is the source of power, it becomes something different from any other religion

3. Blessings from the Lord

Deut 30:9 The LORD your God will make you successful in everything you do

The first blessings is a Solid Foundation

ILL What is it that makes mighty oak trees so stable? Storms may come and blow some limbs out, but it is not often that you see an oak blown over from the roots. The oak’s root system is created so that it can withstand the storm. There is a tap - root that goes down as deep as it has to go to get the nourishment it needs to stay healthy. Oak trees are rooted and grounded.

Christians are to be grounded in God’s love. When you submit yourself to the indwelling presence of the Living God and to the baptism in His Holy Spirit, your foundation cannot help but become a strong one.

We are speaking of spiritual experience that is grounded in the love and the word of Jesus. Through this, you can understand the width, the length, the depth, and the height of the love of Christ.

• His love is so wide that it encompasses the whole world – all are included if they accept it by faith.

• It is so long that it extends from eternity past to eternity future.

• It is so deep that it reaches down into the miry clay and lifts sinners up to stand on the solid Rock and

• It is so high that it raises both Jew and Gentile up to the heavenly places to be seated along side Him in His eternal kingdom.
