Limited Thinking 


If your thinking is limited, 

Your life will be limited.

Your life is passing by either Productive or Unproductive 



We Serve a Limitless God


Healing, miracles, provision, protection...


God is infinite. 


God is all-powerful, all-knowing, all-capable. 


There is no limit to what God can do. 


Yet despite this, to their own harm 


Many believers acting like non believers as they 

minimize God's unlimited power by incorrect thinking. 


We limit God In So many Ways but we don’t have to- 


God Desires to Show himself Strong To You- 


Psalm 78:40-43 

40 How often they provoked Him in the wilderness, And grieved Him in the desert!

 41 Yes, again and again they tempted God, And limited the Holy One of Israel. 


42 They did not remember His power: 

The day when He redeemed them from the enemy, 


43 When He worked His signs in Egypt, And His wonders in the field of Zion;


 We Emotion Eclipse His TRUTH~ 


Your Emotional Response to anything contrary to the WORD of OUR GOD will cause Doubt of His POWER AND MIGHT TO BRING YOU VICTORY~ 


In effect, they put their own limitations on God’s intervention in their lives by failing to remember- 


His historically demonstrated power, signs, and wonders…



Like Israel of old, we too at times have “limited God. 


Not necessarily deliberately, 

but we still often diminish our expectations of His endless power on our behalf.


We consider Him as less than omnipotent.

 


We doubt His constant willingness to bless.


We allow the ellipse of Emotion To shadow Over The Light Of Gods Truth!! 



 

We do “not remember His power ... His miraculous signs ...

 His wonders.”

 


Malachi 3:6. We forget: “I am the Lord; I change not!”


He is forever the same all-powerful God who delights in blessing His people.



1 HEALING

Acts 10:38 


How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.



John 2:27 

But the same anointing which you have received from Him abides in you,


Jesus healed all who came to Him in faith…

 

Peter healed individuals and the multitudes. 


Paul had a remarkable record of ministering divine healing. 


Philip had great healings in Samaria. 


God through a disciple named Ananias 

Healed Paul’s blindness.



 Jesus Gave us the Power- 


believers throughout History consistently healed the sick.


• Do not limit God to healing only while Jesus walked the earth.

 

-We do not restrict God to healing only through apostles. 


In fact, Jesus Said- 


Mark 16:17-18 You SHALL LY hands on The Sick- 


WORSHIP- 

Exodus 23:25-26  


Worship the LORD your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you...


•• For the worshiper of God, He is the Lord who will take sickness from among you.


This taking away of sickness is one of God’s blessings for the worshiper of God.


It is also one of God’s benefits for His children 



Psalm 103:2-3  Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits —

 3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases.



Let “ALL your diseases” mean exactly that! 


Don’t limit God in His desire to heal you.


Ex.26 26 He said, “If you listen carefully to the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you.”



•• For the godly believer, 


God is not the Afflicter of diseases—- 

But the Healer-From diseases!

 

Don’t water down the Power of God- 


Jesus said to the leper: 

“I am willing!” (Mark 1:41) 


Don’t limit the Lord in the realm of healing. He is willing to heal!

2 THE MIRACULOUS


Mark 16:15 And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 

16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 

17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 

18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”


Do you think of miracles as only for 

“Bible days”, or do you believe that miracles are for you today?



Acts. 3:16 By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. 


It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has completely healed him, as you can all see.


 



At New Creation Church we believe in taking care of our spirits, souls AND BODIES. 


Getting healthy can take time~



We DO NOT LIVE HOLISTICALLY with demon philosophies 

We Live BY THE POWER OF THE LIVING GOD~  


God Who Is Aware of everything on this planet and He Holds the stars in the span of His Hand~ 


In consistency lies the power! 



Malachi 3:6

•• Remember: “I am the Lord; I change not!” 

 

Hebrews 13:8

•• Remember: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever


Jesus performed miracles in the first century; 

He is "the same today" and still does miracles in the 21st century.

 

They worked miracles among the people in times of old; 

We continue to work miracles in modern times.

 

 Don’t limit God’s miraculous acts only to days gone by.


•• Also, do not limit the extent of what God can do. 


His power is not finite, but unfettered and all-encompassing!



God is a Miracle Maker- 


Have you spent time...


•• Don’t limit God’s ability to provide supernaturally. 




Through the prophet Elisha, God was going to provide a miraculous supply of valuable oil for the destitute widow.

 

Do you need a miracle in your life today?


MEDITATION ON GODS WORD...

DAY AND NIGHT:::


Don’t ask for just a little of God’s help. 


There is no limit to what God can do to help you. 


His ability to meet your need is without boundaries.

 

• Matthew 14:29 When the Lord says “Come”, then you, like Peter, can walk on the water- 

 


If you encounter a demon-possessed person, 

you can cast the demon out in Jesus’ Name 


Quit thinking limited, defeated, unworthy thoughts, and start thinking victory thoughts, abundance thoughts, favor thoughts-


 

• Why? — It’s the miraculous power of God through you.

 

Don’t limit God and what He can do for you and through you


GOD’S PROVISION


•• Remember Jesus miraculously multiplying the loaves and fish and feeding thousands as a result. He’s the  


Greater things


“same yesterday and today...” (Hebrews 13:8).

 

•• Remember Abraham and Isaac in 

Genesis 22 on Mount Moriah — Jehovah-Jireh!


Genesis 22:14  “Jehovah-Jireh...The Lord will provide.” And God miraculously provided a ram for the sacrifice…

There’s Always a Provision- 


Don’t Grow weary In Well doing- 


He has A Miracle For You and Is Just Waiting For You To Receive IT!  



3. Provision


Philippians 4:19  


But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.


•• (In context, to the giving believer) God will supply all your needs.



Let your “ALL” be “ALL”. Don’t underestimate God's ability and His willingness to provide for you. His bounty is unlimited!


Healing 

Miracles & PROVISION all stem From A Heart That Is Centered On His Will And Word For Your Life~ 



Jeremiah 32:27

27 “I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?


Luke 18:27

27 Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”


Mark 9:23

23 “ ‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”


HE will Give You The Desire Of Your Hearts-

It’s His Good pleasure-


To Give You The Kingdom- 




4. GOD’S PROTECTION

Psalm 91:7 A thousand may fall at your side,

And ten thousand at your right hand;

But it shall not come near you.


The bible abounds with examples of God’s sovereign, supernatural protection and deliverance of His people.

• the three Hebrew men in the fiery furnace

 

• Daniel in the lion’s den

 

• Peter freed from jail by an angel

 

• The angel of Lord encamping around and delivering those who fear God

 

• Psalm 91 — thousands falling all around you, but it will not come near you, the believer in God.

 

• Don’t underestimate God’s limitless ability to protect you and your family.


Matthew 9:28-30a  ... “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” [the blind men] replied. Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith will it be done to you.”


•• Don't put boundaries on God and what He can do in your life.



• Healing, miracles, provision, protection...

 

• According to your faith these things and more will be done to you.


•• Believe God. Don’t limit the Holy One of Israel!

Healing, miracles, provision, protection…


In Psalm 22 Jesus quoited My God My God why have you forsaken me~ 


Thats when they took the sponge of Vinegar ( The Romans Used that to wipe themselves)
