                     I Am Not Limiting You

Child of Mine, I am not limiting you, you are limiting yourself.  I want
to put My anointing upon each of My own, that you might bring glory to
My name.  I want to work My great power and show My glory through each
of My children, that it might be a testimony to those who do not yet know
My Son.

Child of Mine, I am willing. Are you? Are you willing to do with Me the
things that I am doing, and to do them in My power and anointing? Are you
willing to step out in faith and do the things I show you to do? Are you
willing to obey Me no matter what I ask you to do?

I desire to invite you to walk in the realm of the impossible with Me.
My Son has already told you that this is possible for you*, and yet you
don't fully believe Him.  Now I am asking you to lay aside your doubt
and skepticism.  Why do you want to embrace those things?  Repent of your
unbelief and turn from it.  Cast doubt aside and simply believe what I
have already told you in My word.

I did not need to do it this way, but I choose to limit Myself to work
through My people to win the lost to My Son.  I choose to put My spirit
upon My own. That same Spirit through which I raised My Son from the
grave lives and resides within you.  He is able to equip you and to
empower you to do the same mighty works that My Son did.  Why do you
fight and resist Him?  Why do you disqualify yourself and limit yourself
and prevent yourself from doing the mighty works that I desire to
accomplish through you?

Some of you would say to Me, "Lord, I am not limiting myself, I want to
do this with you!" But I would say to you, "True, you want it, but you
want your disbelief even more, and you cling to that."

Haven't you read in My word about how important faith is to Me?  Lack of
faith is what limits you.  If you want to grow past your unbelief, you
need to stop doing the things that foster unbelief and start doing the
things that foster faith.  I have already planted a seed of faith in your
heart, but now it is up to you to water it, to tend it, and to allow it
to grow to maturity.  Have I not said in My word that when you have
faith, nothing is impossible unto you**?

Are you wondering how to foster faith?  Listen to My word and come into
My presence. Spend time before Me. Meditate on the mighty works that
I have already done and already documented in My written word.  Get to
know Me better and experience My faithfulness and My power and My great
love.  Dear child, I invite you to experience this personally for
yourself. Pursue Me and you will find Me, and I will help your faith to
grow. I will speak you to and I will show you things that will help your
faith grow even more.

Child of Mine, I have not limited you and it is time for you to stop
limiting yourself, in order that I might work My glory in your life.
I want to demonstrate My great power and My great love through you.
Are you willing to do this with Me?

I am reaching out My hand to you once again, inviting you to walk with
Me and to do the works that I am doing. Child of Mine, this can indeed
be possible for you--no one is limited you other than yourself.  So take
My hand, and permit Me to foster your faith and cause it to increase.
Understand that I may put you in some difficult situations to build
your faith. But I already have a plan in place to come through for you
in a way that glorifies My name and that causes your faith to grow.
Don't allow fear to limit you. Don't be afraid to take My hand and to
learn to walk in the type of faith that can move mountains.

Are you willing to do with Me the works that I am doing?  I am willing
to work My great power through you. Are you willing to cast aside your
unbelief and let Me do this in your life? I have not limited you, dear
child, but you have limited yourself. Are you willing to throw away
those limitations and embrace faith?  Come, take My hand, and walk
in the impossible with Me.


*John 14:12-14
        12 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the
        works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these
        he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask
        in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified
        in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it."

**Matthew 17:20
        So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly,
        I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say
        to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move;
        and nothing will be impossible for you."
