To the Unlimited

Matt. 14: 17-21

They said to Jesus, we have nothing but five loaves and two fish. Jesus said bring them here to me. He gave thanks and blessed and broke the loaves and handed the pieces to the disciples and the disciples gave them to the people.

Matt. 14:25-29

And in the fourth watch (between 3am and 6am) of the night, Jesus came to them saying, take courage! I AM! Stop being afraid.

Matt. 14:35

And when the men of Gennesaret recognized Him, they sent around into the surrounding country and brought to Him all who were sick. And begged Him to let them merely touch the fringe of His garment, and as many as touched it were perfectly restored.

Step out of your boat of limitations, and procrastination, your boat of doubt, fear, unbelief, your boat of apprehension, and uncertainty. Step into the unlimited spiritual realm. Step out to where I AM, where all things are possible. Come to me. It is My righteousness, My Spirit, My word, and My faithfulness, My power, My fullness, My compassion, My Strength, My Grace, My goodness and mercy, My wisdom, My ability and your faith in my faithfulness that causes all things to be possible for you.

Col. 1:16

For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth. Things seen and things unseen. Whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities, all things were created and exist through Him (by His service, intervention) and in and for Him.

Col. 2:9-10

Col. 3:1

If then you have been raised with Christ (to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead, aim at and seek the (rich, eternal treasures) that are above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.

10) Clothe yourselves with the new (spiritual self) which is ever in process of being renewed and remolded into (fuller) and more perfect knowledge upon knowledge after the image (the likeness) of Him who created it.

11) In this new creation, all distinctions vanish. There is no room for and there can be neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, nor difference between nations ( whether alien) barbarians or Scythians (who are the most savage of all) nor slave or free man: but Christ is all and in all (everything an everywhere , to all men without distinction of person).

Psalms 139

O Lord you have searched me (thoroughly) and have known me.

You know my downsitting and my uprising, you understand my thought afar off. You sift and search out my path and my lying down, and you are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue (still unuttered) ( every word that I will ever speak) , but behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.

You have beset me and shut me in – behind and before, you have laid your hand upon me.

16)

Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book, all the days of my life were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them.

How precious and weighty also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast us the sum of them. If I could count them, they would be more in number than the sand!

The Lord is near to all who call upon Him sincerely and in truth. He will fulfill the desires of those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him. He will hear their cry and save them.

This is what the Lord wants each of His children individually to understand. He has each one of our lives completely covered. He sees our entire life from beginning to end, all at the same time. He said that your days are written in His book before you lived in those days.

He knows everything about you. He knows your uncertainty, your weakness, your fears, your doubting times, your hopelessness, your procrastination, your crying days, your sad days, your good days, your joyful days, your everyday is already before Him.

Just pray and talk to Him and trust in Him for everything you face.
