Session One

PRAYER and FASTING

God’s Unlimited Ability

”Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. ‘ Ephesians 3:20

REFLECTION

Somebody said, ‘Since Scripture told us that God made us in His image, we have been trying to return the compliment.’ Theologically, most of us know that God is not like us, yet we sometimes struggle to believe that He will not act as we would.

Our biggest challenge is turning our mental knowledge into a heart knowledge that truly shapes our actions. That short distance between what we know and what we deeply believe (and act upon) can make a huge difference in how we see and engage with God.

In this session, we want to pray against the tendency to limit God.

QUOTES

“You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you. It is easy to say you believe in a God of love and power until you are in the midst of suffering, and only then will you know.” — C.S. Lewis

PRAYER

Take a moment to pray against the tendency to limit God by our own perspective, past failures or current circumstances. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you a vision of God’s limitless power.
Think of current situations in our nation, the church, our town and in your friends and families and also in your own life. How can you bring God’s limitless power into all those areas and see his power displayed. Ask God for his wisdom
Pray that you would constantly remember and trust in God’s unlimited ability to intervene and act in your life and circumstances.

MEDITATE

‘God, who is able..’. Take time to shift your focus from the size of your problem to the mightiness of God.
