MAN’S LIMITATIONS

KEY SCRIPTURE: Joh 11:24 KJV” Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

The scriptures have always revealed that God desires the best for men. Unfortunately, man seems to settle for something different. After the fall of man in the garden of Eden, men have unconsciously expected the worse. When Jesus taught His disciples, the model prayer. He said in one of the lines, ‘thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven’. There are perfect peace, comfort, and supernatural provisions in heaven, yet what do men experience on this earth? This is so because man has refused to agree with God.  Most men have lost the true consciousness of God, and so are left to struggle out everything by their natural understanding. They live by their natural brut effort. This is the limitation of man.

In our key scripture; the Lord Jesus talked about Lazarus being raised to life again. Martha was talking about Lazarus rising up at the final resurrection of all humanity. Why the disparity of views? Martha was thinking from her natural understanding, and could not look beyond. She could not imagine that her dead brother could be brought back to life at that moment. Men are limited by their physical domain. Man’s reasoning faculties and his sensory organs remain his world of reality and potential. He remains on a different wavelength from God, most of the time.

The scriptures have been given to us so man could assume another culture of thinking and doing things. The scriptures must be allowed to renovate our mental state, in order to flow with God. He says in Isaiah 55, the following statements. The unrighteous man should forsake his thoughts, and the wicked man., his ways. He says further, Isa 55:8 KJV” For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.” The Lord says He functions by His word MEN must align with God’s word  so we can have what He has for men

CONFESSION

I thank you Father for your word, which is given to us, to lift men from their limitations into God’s potential. I fully submit to your word and function by it. I experience the abundance of God’s provisions. I have God’s peace and power to reign in this life.

Isa 55:9, 11 KJV “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
