Embracing New Beginnings: Knowing the Limitless God

Devotional

Day 1: God’s Limitless Power and Understanding

The Lord’s power and understanding are beyond human measure, and His limitless nature means there is nothing He cannot do. When we reflect on God’s greatness, we realize that His strength is inexhaustible and His wisdom is unsearchable; He is not restricted by time, space, or circumstance. No matter what we face, we can trust that God’s resources and abilities are never depleted, and He is always able to do more than we can ask or imagine. Let this truth anchor your faith and expand your vision for what is possible with God. [03:04]

Psalm 147:5 (ESV)
Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure.

Reflection: What is one area of your life where you have placed limits on what God can do? How can you invite Him to show His limitless power in that area today?

Day 2: God’s Desire to Be Known

God is not distant or hidden; He deeply desires to be known by His people and invites us into a personal relationship with Him. Throughout history, God has revealed Himself—first as Creator, then as the personal God who seeks intimacy with His creation. He calls us not to boast in wisdom, strength, or riches, but to find our greatest joy and confidence in knowing Him. This relationship is the foundation for everything else in our lives, and God continually draws us closer so that we may understand His heart. [16:57]

Jeremiah 9:23-24 (ESV)
Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares the Lord.”

Reflection: In what practical way can you seek to know God more personally this week, rather than simply seeking what He can give you?

Day 3: Knowing God Unlocks Unlimited Possibilities

Those who truly know their God are empowered to do great exploits, for their faith is rooted not in what God gives, but in who He is. The depth of your relationship with God determines the dimensions of His power and possibilities you experience in your life. When you focus on knowing God—His character, His faithfulness, His limitless nature—you are positioned to walk in new beginnings and to see Him move in ways that defy human logic. Let your pursuit be to know Him more, and watch as He opens doors that no one can shut. [27:28]

Daniel 11:32b (ESV)
…but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action.

Reflection: What is one step you can take today to deepen your knowledge of God, so that you can walk in the “unlimited possibilities” He has for you?

Day 4: God Reveals Himself Progressively and Ultimately in Jesus

God has revealed Himself in many ways—through nature, Scripture, the prophets, and most fully in Jesus Christ, who is the exact image and ultimate revelation of God. Each revelation builds upon the last, drawing us into deeper understanding, but it is in Jesus that we see the fullness of God’s heart, character, and power. As you look to Jesus, you encounter the limitless God in human form, and you are invited to experience the reality of His presence and truth in your daily life. [40:11]

Hebrews 1:1-3 (ESV)
Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.

Reflection: How does seeing Jesus as the ultimate revelation of God change the way you approach your relationship with Him today?

Day 5: Walk Long Enough with God to Encounter His Limitless Nature

True revelation of God often comes through walking with Him through challenges and seasons of waiting, where He reveals new dimensions of His character and power. It is in the moments when things seem impossible or when you reach the end of your own strength that God shows Himself as El Shaddai, the Almighty, more than enough for every need. Don’t give up in the process; keep walking with God, and you will encounter Him in ways that transform your faith and your life. [52:15]

Genesis 17:1 (ESV)
When Abram was ninety-nine years old the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless.”

Reflection: Think of a challenge you are currently facing—how can you choose to keep walking with God in faith, trusting that He will reveal Himself in a new way through this situation?

Sermon Summary

Today, we stand at the threshold of a new season, both as a church and as individuals. The number eight, marking our anniversary, is not just a milestone but a prophetic symbol of new beginnings—a divine reset and a fresh start. As we celebrate, I declare that the same spirit of renewal and newness that God is bringing to our church will also manifest in your personal lives. This is a time to expect God to do something unprecedented, to open new doors, and to reveal Himself in ways we have not yet known.

Our focus is on the limitless nature of God and the unlimited possibilities that flow from Him. Psalm 147:5 reminds us that our Lord is great, with limitless strength and understanding beyond measure. God is not confined by time, space, or circumstance. He is Elohim, the Creator with infinite power; Yahweh, the self-existent One who is always present; and El Shaddai, the Almighty who makes the impossible possible. These names are not just titles but revelations of His character and His desire to be known by us.

God’s greatest desire is relationship. From Genesis to Revelation, He consistently reveals Himself, inviting us to know Him—not just what He can do, but who He is. Too often, we approach God with open hands, seeking what He can give, rather than open hearts, seeking to know Him. Yet, it is those who know their God who will do great exploits. Our faith must be rooted in the “who” of God, not merely the “what.” When we know Him, we are sustained through every season, even when the blessings seem delayed or absent.

God reveals Himself progressively—through nature, through Scripture, through the person of Jesus Christ, and through His names. Jesus is the ultimate revelation, the very thoughts and heart of God made flesh. Revival and transformation come not from emotional experiences or material blessings, but from deep, scriptural understanding and personal encounters with the limitless God. When we walk with Him long enough, especially through trials, we encounter new dimensions of His character and power.

As we step into this new season, let us pursue a deeper knowledge of God. Let us not be content with past revelations or secondhand experiences. Instead, may we hunger for personal encounters with the limitless God, believing that with Him, all things are possible and that no situation is beyond His reach.

Key Takeaways

1. Knowing God Is Greater Than Knowing His Gifts Our spiritual journey must prioritize knowing who God is over what He can do for us. When our faith is anchored in His character rather than His blessings, we are able to endure seasons of lack, loss, or waiting without losing hope. The true test of faith is whether we will still walk with God when the “what” is absent, trusting in the unchanging “who.” [22:06]
2. God Reveals Himself Progressively and Personally God’s revelation is not static; it unfolds over time, moving from nature to Scripture, to the person of Jesus, and through His names. Each new dimension of revelation invites us into deeper relationship and greater understanding. We are called to seek these new dimensions, for our progress in faith is tied to the depth of our knowledge of Him. [31:27]
3. The Limitless Nature of God Transcends All Boundaries God is not restricted by time, space, logic, or human limitation. As Elohim, Yahweh, and El Shaddai, He demonstrates that His power and presence are inexhaustible. When we face impossible situations, we must remember that God’s resources and abilities are without end, and He delights in making the impossible possible. [57:59]
4. Personal Encounters with God Are Often Forged in Trials The deepest revelations of God’s character often come at the end of ourselves, in moments of crisis or impossibility. It is in these times that God reveals new aspects of Himself, giving us a testimony that no one can take away. Walking long enough with God, especially through difficulties, leads to unshakable conviction and deeper intimacy. [51:07]
5. Revival and Transformation Flow from Deep Scriptural Roots True revival is not the result of emotional highs or outward blessings, but of a people deeply rooted in the truth of God’s Word. As we grow in scriptural understanding and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal Christ to us, we experience genuine transformation and spiritual awakening. The limitless God is encountered most powerfully by those who are grounded in His truth. [41:18]

Sermon Clips

If we are going to go further than where we are, we need to know new dimensions. God is limitless, but you can only experience of him based on what you know of Him. So whenever we gather in conferences, it is to open new Dimensions.

As a believer, your progress will be dependent on the dimensions that you're working on. God is limitless, but you can only experience of him based on what you know of Him. So it is the dimensions you know about God that opens new dimensions.

Paul, who has seen the revelations of Jesus, who has established many churches and set in charge many pastors and bishops, at the end of his ministry says, “that I may know him.” Revelation opens me to new things. You want to go further than where you are? Say, Lord, I need to know more.

God desires to be known by his creation. We have seen in the Old to the New Testament God working consistently to reveal his glory, redeem his people, draw them to an intimate relationship with him. God is telling us as the church you have to hold on to what God can do for you.

You better hold on to the who more than the what, where the what will not be there. Keep your faith sustained as if you know who you are with. Many times our faith is shaken, but those who walked profitably with God are not those who experienced a lot of what, but those who were convinced who this God is.

Our ability to do great things in our generation is not tied to our wisdom, not tied to our might, not tied to our riches. Our ability to do great exploits is dependent on our knowledge of this God. The people that know their God shall be strong and do great things.

Ultimately, our calling is so that we know God. The climax of our walk with God is about knowing him. When we get to know God, we successfully access eternal life.

There are four primary ways in which God reveals himself to man. Number one, God revealed himself through nature. Number two, God revealed himself through scripture. Number three, God revealed himself through the prophets. And number four, God revealed himself through his names.

The revelation of God is progressive. It moves from one truth to another. Abraham knew about God, the prophets knew about God, but those who came before them knew less. Whether you believe it or not, you know God better than Moses because the revelation of God is progressive.

Jesus is the ultimate revelation, the climax of God's revelation. If you have seen me, you have seen the Father, because Jesus is the ultimate communicator. There is no more revelation to come; we now explain the revelation that is already there.

There’s no word that is misused in the church like the word revival. Revival is not a result of powerful preaching or blessings. Revival is always a result of deep teaching and comprehending the truth. You are going to be revived the more you are deep in the scripture, when you are rooted and grounded.

The revelation of God is always at the end of the journey. Walk long enough with God to see him. God is not seen when things are easy, but when things get hot. Walk long enough for God to reveal himself. The revelation comes at the end of the test.

There are three names that bring us to the totality of this limitless nature of God. The first one is Elohim, the God of incredible power, omnipotence, the one who stood in the middle of nothing and created everything. We are introduced to this one who has no limits, without boundaries.

Number two is Yahweh, the Lord. I am simply means there was never a time when he was not. He is the God who exists by himself, self-sufficient, the great I am, limitless, without boundaries. He is not restricted by time nor by space.

God does not need your qualification for him to elevate you because he is without limits. Limitless. There are so many things right now that seem impossible, but when his power is without limit, our possibilities are without limitations.
