I am Unlimited (3 of 4) - Ps Paula Hensley - 10 Feb 2019

On Sunday 10th February, Ps. Paula preached the third in the series – I am Unlimited. Over the past 2 weeks in church we have looked at: Kingdom is UNLIMITED Spirit is UNLIMITED And now I am UNLIMITED As we seek to serve the Kingdom of God, instead of the Kingdom of me – God will answer some questions that I believe that we all have at different times - Why was I created?  Why am I alive? What was I created for?  What plan does he have for me in this life?  Seek Him first and He will show you!  You were created on purpose for a purpose - bigger than you, yet inclusive of you! How do we live the UNLIMITED life?  How do we enter in? How do we live in all that God has purposed and planned for us to do?   If we line our lives up with His plan and His purposes we should be like a space-craft that has lift off and flies off into space powered by huge jet power, set on a course of adventure and purpose!  Except that many of us are not living like that. Why not? I am reminded of the Israelites in the Bible - we find their story in Exodus and Numbers. The Israelites had lived in a place of not enough - their limitations controlled by the Egyptians.  God rescues them out of Egypt by doing mighty miracles before their very eyes.  They then travel through the Red Sea, safely on dry land, then to watch the entire Egyptian army drown in the Sea as the Lord closed up the Sea over them.  As they travel through the desert, on the way to the land God has promised them, God travels before them in the day in a cloud and at night behind them as fire!  God provides for them fresh food every day.  After all this, they arrive at the Promised Land. It is the land of the unlimited potential for the generations to come!  It represents the Unlimited Kingdom of God.    He tells them that they will need to take out a few other nations but promises that the same power that has been with them, provided for them and protected them all this time will defeat the inhabitants of the land!  However, we know how the story goes, Moses sends 10 men to go and check out the land that God has promised to them and they come back with this report. Numbers 13:26-33 27 They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. 28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. 31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.” 32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. 33 We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.” Before the Israelites lives changed, they had to change their thinking. Before our lives can change…we must change our thinking. We must change our mindset from limited to UNLIMITED. From grasshoppers to Sons and Daughter of the KING!! How do we do that? The Prophet Isaiah shows us how to break free from a limiting mindset in order that we might take territory in our Promised Land! Isaiah 54:2 “Enlarge the place of your tent,     stretch your tent curtains wide,     do not hold back; lengthen your cords,     strengthen your stakes.
