Today we read: Genesis
Chapter 22, Romans 8 and Mark 9. In these chapters we examined Abraham's faith,
Paul told us “If God is with you, who can be against you?” and we witnessed The
Transfiguration. We should know Abraham’s story. He was impatient so God put
him to the ultimate test. He had to wait until he was 100 years old
(exaggeration) to have children. Then he was asked to make a sacrifice and he
offered up his only son who he waited nearly a century for… Some of yall don’t
even like your kids and you wouldn’t give them up like that. Even for God. And
that’s how he got his blessing.
Fast forward a few generations. God gets tired of the endless
cycle of messing up, punishment, forgiveness, trials, blessings… God says- let’s
skip a few steps. Hey Jesus! Come do me a favor… Now we have an example of
perfection to strive for and endless do-overs. And then theirs is the power. “If
God is with you, who can be against you?” No one!
Lets look back at the example in the flesh. Two of the
three men who went straight to heaven come back to chop it up with Jesus. That’s
the power that is available to us and Peter wants to put Jesus, Elijah and
Moses in boxes. God's power is limitless. Why do we always try to put the
limitless inside a box. 

My boy Robert says it this way, If
you didn't understand #TheMatrix the first time you
watched it, you're a fucking idiot or at the very least you have ADD or ADHD or
OCD.
I’m a little bit nicer but, the sentiment is still the
same. When you truly understand what it means to have access to limitless
power, the sky is the limit. If you are still limiting yourself and/or God,
something is wrong.
I see a lot of people who “know the bible” but still live
within limits. Something is wrong. We have a mental disorder or like Robert
says… dee-deedee! 

It’s simple. "Listen to
God" Trust what you hear from God.
If you are having trouble, now is the perfect time to give up some stuff/distractions
so you can hear. I believe in us. We can do it.
