Don't Limit The Almighty

I'm pasting below the text of an email someone sent me a few weeks back.

Just wanted to share some notes from Pastor Love's Bible study- he preached from John chapter 5. The man who had been afflicted for over 38 years and he was down at the pool of Bethesda which means: "House of Grace" . Just to wrap up this is where Jesus says to him"Rise up and walk" He did after 38 long afflicting years!!

No matter what the condition a person is in or what they have gone through- Anything can happen and is possible w/GOD.

However, we seem to limit GOD when we judge things based upon the past either with ourselves or others.
We need to keep believing God

The presence of Jesus keeps changing everything /everyday- we really need to STOP limiting GOD.

The man in John , chapter 5 was only looking at his problem which he had been doing for 38 years. (Pastor Love joked most of us- himself included- would be frealing out after 38 minutes let alone 38 years !!!)
Stop putting GOD in a box and Start believing HIM.

Don't make an evaluation of God based upon past experiences (Pastor Love was sharing about an Outreach experience recently at the Inner Harbor- A man's former father-in-law who is a Pastor was very legalistic and the guy never heard about God's grace & mercy therefore his evaluation of GOD was extremely negative because he thought he could never measure up but toward the end of the conversation- his attitude change and now he wants to know more- Praise GOD!!-this is short version)

None of us are perfect-only GOD is
By faith we need to start seeing opportunities instead of seeing/confessing the obstacles.

We say 'I can't" but God says "I can"

We need to tell GOD our requests- be forthcoming , don't tell GOD well I don't think this is possible because of this past issue, etc- Don't limit GOD. He is ALL POWERFUL & ALL KNOWING.

When GOD is present-anything can happen-don't limit Him or put Him in a box.

The presence of GOD changes everything.
