Asking Without Limitations
John 16.24TPT
Truly the only Spiritual limitation you have, are what you place on yourself. I believe the Holy Spirit who lives in you, out weighs any bodily, and emotional pain. Why? The Spirit is eternal.
We all want abundant, prosperous lives, but many people may not know how to claim this type of success. As a result, they can limit themselves by falling into the same rut that most of the world is stuck in. Wrong-thinking is the biggest way we set limits for ourselves. Learning what God says about us breaks the shackles and frees us from self-imposed limitations.
John 16.24TPT Until now you’ve not been bold enough to ask the Father for a single thing in my name, but now you can ask, and keep on asking him! And you can be sure that you’ll receive what you ask for, and your joy will have no limits!
To ask in Jesus’ name is to ask in the name of the, I Am. We take all the fullness of Jesus (His name, His glory and His virtue.
As the I Am of, Exodus 3:14 God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM”; and He said, “You shall say this to the Israelites, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’?”
Again, John 16.14a Up until now you have not been bold enough to ask the Father for anything...
Did you know that ‘I Am’ has sent you! As our mission team leaves tomorrow AM, The I AM will go before them! P.H
Listen, I AM, states in John 16.24b...because you possess the, I AM, you should ask and keep on asking because Jesus states from this evenings text, John 16.24b... And you can be sure that you’ll receive what you ask for, and your joy will have no limits!
And when you begin asking, Jesus states, your joy will have no limits! Why? Because those who ask get joy, because they receive answers! P.H
Listen to some of the last words of Jesus, for everyone gathered there that day understood that Jesus would give His most vital statements.
Matthew 28:18-20AMP Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19 -Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.”
Of course we have a rather large mission team going to Guatemala. So this evening I want to give you some last word promises for those who follow His commands.
1. The first last word promise, All authority absolute rule in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus.
So the first thing Jesus informs all believers about is, His authority and His absolute rule.
-So remember that the ‘One’ you follow has all authority!
2. The second last word promise, After Jesus defines His authority to rule, His followers are told to, Go.
You might remember me telling you about, Mark Batterson teaching his church family that the Lord wants them (us) to, Go, Set, Ready. -Instead of, Ready, Set, Go.
At some point you need to apply what you have learned, and believe. P.H
As you go, I AM goes!
In Guatemala, you won't be alone!
3. The third last word promise, Jesus states, Help and teach others to learn of Me, believe in Jesus, and obey His words...
As our team goes out they are going to be teaching and helping. PH
4. The fourth last word promise, Jesus states in verse 19, Those ‘you’ teach and reach should be baptized in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
Don't be afraid to set up an opportunity to talk about Jesus and the need to baptize new converts.
Before, and During this trip, You are to ask without any limitations because you are going to Guatemala to fulfill, Matthew 28.18-20.
5. The fifth last word promise, Teaching everyone to observe what ‘I’ have commanded you.
“On our mission team we will have some who will teach, reach, others who will work, and still others who will work in the nursing home!” P.H
6. The sixth last word promise goes to all on this missions trip. But wait, it also goes to those that help fund in many ways.
Matthew 28.20... and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.”
A pastor from Atlanta said and I quote. When Jesus came, He repealed the curses and removed the limitations for those who believe in His finished works, making it possible to live under the blessings. No longer do we have to do good to get good, because faith has now replaced self-effort. “ …Anything is possible if a person believes,” Mark 9:23. If we belittle faith and discount the importance of believing, we limit ourselves needlessly. Believing God positions us to receive what we prayerfully ask of Him.
Jesus Christ has removed all limitations at every level, in both the natural and the supernatural, and given us authority that people under the law don’t have.
“And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven,” Matthew 16:19.
There’s no lack or insufficiency in heaven; we don’t have to tolerate it because lack isn’t God’s will for us. If we’re not aware of this, we can live below our true potential. A sub-standard life isn’t God’s best, and it’s not what He wants for us.
So this evening we are going to ask without limitations! P.H
Again, John 16:24NLT You haven’t done this before. Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy.
John 16:24AMP Until now you have not asked [the Father] for anything in My name; but now ask and keep on asking and you will receive, so that your joy may be full and complete.
Communion. -Matthew 26.26
Prayer. 1 Safety. 2 Serving. 3 Salvation. This all equals to joy. -Joy in the Kingdom!
