Embracing the Limitless Power of God

Devotional

Day 1: God’s Limitless Power and Understanding

God is not bound by human limitations; His power is abundant, and His understanding is beyond measure. When we approach Him, we must remember that He is not like us—He is in a class all by Himself, able to do far more than we can comprehend. This truth should stir our faith and expectation, knowing that there is no situation too complex or too difficult for Him. As we open our hearts to Him, let us trust in His limitless nature and allow our prayers to reflect the greatness of His ability. [12:06]

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 limited God in your thinking or prayers? How can you intentionally bring this area before Him today, trusting in His limitless power?

Day 2: God’s Ability Exceeds All We Ask or Imagine

God’s ability is unquestionable and always present—He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to His power at work within us. When we pray, we are not coming to a God who is restricted by our imagination or requests; instead, we are engaging with the One who always has more in store. Let this truth embolden your prayers and expand your faith, knowing that God’s capacity to bless, heal, and transform is far greater than anything you could ever envision. [13:12]

Ephesians 3:20-21 (ESV)
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Reflection: What is the biggest prayer or dream you have for your life or your family? Take a moment to ask God for even more, believing He can do far beyond what you imagine.

Day 3: God Is Not Like Man—He Cannot Lie or Fail

Unlike people, God cannot lie, grow weary, or change His mind. His promises are sure, and His character is unchanging. When we approach God, we must do so with the confidence that He is faithful and true, never subject to the failures or disappointments we may have experienced with others. This understanding should give us boldness to trust Him fully, knowing that what He has spoken over our lives will surely come to pass. [47:34]

Numbers 23:19 (ESV)
God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?

Reflection: Is there a promise from God’s Word that you have doubted because of past disappointments with people? How can you renew your trust in God’s unchanging faithfulness today?

Day 4: Approaching God with Unquestioning Faith

Powerful and amazing things happen when we approach God without doubting His ability. The difference between doubt and faith is not in God’s power, but in our willingness to believe that He is able. When we come to God with unwavering faith, we open ourselves to experience His miraculous works—just as the blind men and the heroes of faith did. Let us lay aside every hesitation and come boldly, trusting that with God, all things are possible. [56:29]

Matthew 19:26 (ESV)
But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

Reflection: What is one “impossible” situation you are facing right now? Will you choose to bring it to God today, believing that nothing is too hard for Him?

Day 5: God’s Ability to Do More—Even in Your Hardest Cases

No matter how difficult or chronic your situation may seem, God is able to do much more than you can ask or imagine. He is able to heal, deliver, provide, strengthen, and keep you from falling. There is no end to His ability—He can still do more, even when you think you have reached the limit. Bring your hardest cases to Him, trusting that His power is not diminished by the size of your need. [01:05:27]

2 Corinthians 9:8 (ESV)
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.

Reflection: What is the “hard case” in your life that you have stopped praying about? Will you bring it before God again today, believing that He is able to do even more than you have hoped?

Sermon Summary

Tonight, we gathered to declare and celebrate the limitless nature of our God—a God whose power, wisdom, and presence know no boundaries. We were reminded that our engagement with God must move beyond passive listening to active declaration and faith. Drawing from Psalm 147 and Ephesians 3:20-21, we explored the truth that God is not only able to do what we ask, but far more abundantly than we can imagine, according to His power at work within us. This limitless God desires to be known intimately, not as a distant or mysterious force, but as a Father who reveals Himself through nature, Scripture, the person of Jesus, and His many names.

We reflected on the danger of reducing God to the level of human experience—projecting our disappointments and limitations onto Him. God is not a man; He is in a class all by Himself. His attributes—omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence, immutability, and eternality—set Him apart from all creation. He does not slumber or grow weary, He cannot lie, and He never changes. These truths should transform the way we approach Him, stirring our faith to believe that nothing is too hard for Him.

The heart of our reflection centered on God’s unquestionable ability. Too often, our prayers are hindered by doubt, shaped by our experiences with people who have failed us. But God’s ability is not up for debate. The real question is not whether God can do it, but whether we believe He is able. Throughout Scripture, we see that those who approached God without doubting His ability experienced the impossible—healing, deliverance, provision, and victory.

We listed the many things God is able to do: He can do more than we ask or think, make all grace abound, help us in temptation, save to the uttermost, keep us from stumbling, guard us, heal, deliver, strengthen, and give much more. Our challenge is to approach Him with this understanding, bringing even the hardest cases before Him, knowing that His ability cannot be questioned. Let us trust Him, pray boldly, and expect to encounter the God who is truly limitless.

Key Takeaways

1. God’s Limitlessness Transcends Human Experience God exists in a class all by Himself, utterly distinct from humanity. His omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence mean He is never caught off guard, never grows tired, and is never limited by time or space. Recognizing this “otherness” of God should humble us and expand our faith, reminding us that we are engaging One who is infinitely beyond our comprehension. [33:55]
2. The Danger of Projecting Human Limitations onto God We often approach God with the baggage of human disappointment, expecting Him to fail or be limited as people are. This tendency restricts our faith and diminishes our prayers. True spiritual growth requires us to separate our experiences with people from our understanding of God, engaging Him on His terms, not ours. [32:23]
3. God’s Integrity: He Cannot Lie or Change Unlike humans, God’s word is unbreakable—He cannot lie, and He does not change. This means every promise He has made is secure, regardless of our circumstances or feelings. Our confidence in prayer and life must be anchored in the unchanging character and integrity of God, not in shifting emotions or situations. [47:34]
4. Faith Unlocks the Experience of God’s Ability The real barrier to experiencing God’s power is not His willingness or ability, but our faith. When we approach God without doubting His ability, we step into the realm where the impossible becomes possible. The stories of Abraham, the Hebrew boys, and the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11 all point to this: faith in God’s ability is the key to experiencing His limitless power. [54:22]
5. God’s Ability Is Always More Than Enough No matter how big our requests or how vast our imagination, God’s ability always exceeds them. He is able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think, and there is no end to His sufficiency—whether it’s grace, healing, deliverance, or provision. We are invited to bring even our hardest cases to Him, trusting that His power is never exhausted. [65:27]

God desires to be known. He doesn't want to be this mysterious God that is understood, misunderstood. The God who resides where we have no idea. But he desires to have a close and intimate relationship with these people. Which is why he has chosen to make himself known. [00:20:58] (28 seconds) #GodDesiresIntimacy

``So we learned and we came to an agreement that God knows no limits. Power is without limits, nor can it be measured. Psalm 62:11. Once God has spoken, says twice I have heard this, that all power belongs to God. Sovereign God, Lord, maybe to be precise in goals. You have made the heavens and the earth by your great power. Nothing is too hard for you. [00:28:34] (52 seconds) #SovereignPowerUnmeasured

The word holy simply means God is cut off. He is separated, he is separate. He anything and everything. So holiness in the Greek is the word which means he is different, which means that the other nest. Otherness. Okay, Otherness. So God is not like us. [00:41:22] (49 seconds) #HolinessMeansOtherness

God cannot lie. God is not man that he should lie. Son of man that he should, he possesses no ability in him. That's not what the Bible says. The Bible says he cannot. So in him there is no ability to to speak what he cannot do. I love how the book of Hebrews puts it so that by two unchangeable things which it is impossible for God to love. So God cannot for him to speak something and not do it. [00:46:59] (62 seconds) #GodCannotLie

His ability is unquestionable. Ephesians chapter 3 Ephes chapter 3, verse number 20, verse 2121 Paul or Paul brings us to an understanding of something which is significant for our faith. It opens us up to a truth and a reality of this God who is limited he says now, not tomorrow, not yet yesterday. This is an ability of God that is at work now. To him who is able to do his ability cannot be questioned. [00:51:44] (55 seconds) #FaithWithoutDoubt

Faith is when you go to God without a doubt of his ability. Is when you approach God without questioning his ability. I believe that you can because we question in his ability. [00:55:44] (34 seconds) #GraceAboundsInGod

Powerful and amazing things happen when man comes to God. When we approach God without Questioning his we experience powerful things. When you read the book of Hebrews, the resume of the men of faith who through faith conquered, cut kingdoms, obtained promises, stopped the mouth of lions, quench the power of fire. They escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weaknesses. They become mighty men in war, they put foreign armies to flight. Women receive their dead by resurrection, refusing to accept release. These were men of faith. These were men who approach God without doubting. These were men who dared to face life and situations out of what they knew about. Ability cannot be questioned. [00:56:44] (83 seconds) #ApproachGodWithConfidence

So whenever we approach God, approach him with that level of understanding that there is nothing that he cannot do. His limitlessness renders him able to do all this able to do far go abundantly more than what we can ask or even think. When we think we have think enough. When we think we have thought more than enough. God says I can still go further. When we say we have asked big enough, he says I can still do he's able he's able. Our God is able approach him with that understanding. [01:04:53] (64 seconds)

God is able. He's able to save to the animals. He's able to guard you. He's able to keep you from stumbling. He's able to provide you. He's able to do much more than this. He's able to do more, far more abundantly. The same my God is able. Conference will not leave me. The same his able. God is able. [01:08:21] (69 seconds)
