Limiting God
Andrew Wommack believes every one of us has plans from God
that are bigger than what we're dreaming.
.
Yet we limit God by our small thinking - often without
realizing it.
.
When I heard Andrew say this in Colorado recently, it caused
me to realize that I also limit God without realizing it. I asked him to record
a podcast, to which you can listen below.
He briefly
tells how God convicted him in 2002 because, like the children of Israel
who "limited the Holy One of
Israel" (Psalm 78:41), he
was limiting God in own his life.
.
At that time, his ministry was "successful,"
sporting a staff of 24.
.
But when he learned the meaning of meditating on God's Word
day and night and when he understood that the word "meditate" also
can be translated "imagination," Andrew began to believe God for
bigger things and more impact.
.
Today, he has 600 staff members and 70 Bible schools around
the world, and he is building a beautiful campus for his Charis Bible College
in Woodland Park, Colorado, which I visited recently.
.
He also wrote a book titled Don't Limit God (Harrison
House), which I read last week and am reading a second time.
.
While I've understood some of these concepts and have had to
believe God for the media company we have today, I've been convicted in many
ways that I limit God regarding what I believe He has planned for me and my
organization in the future.
.
However, this message is not only about me or those in
leadership who need to understand how not to limit God.
.
Everyone needs to take the limits off God in what they are
believing for their own family or church, or how they can be involved in their
communities.
