I want to talk to you for a little while about embracing his limitless power. Embracing his limitless power. The word of God says, ah, Lord God, behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee. Let's pray. Father, we come before you looking at your immense power and grace. And as we look at your word, open our hearts and minds to recognize the magnitude of your ability to overcome any obstacle. Help us to trust in your promises, to surrender our limitations to you. And Lord, thank you for saving us by your marvelous grace, writing our name in the Lamb's book of life. And for the many that are lost, our heart goes out to them. I pray God that this message will start a question, a convicting power in the life of a lost sinner to bring them into your family. Lord, help us to put on the whole armor of God May we be able to withstand the wiles of the devil and all of the attacks that he has through us. May your spiritual armor guide us and may your truth and your faith strengthen us as we embrace the limitless power of a mighty God in Jesus's marvelous mighty name. Amen. You know, there's a moving story about a man named Michael who faced an overwhelming challenge. Michael was a small town mechanic who found himself responsible for his community's only car repair shop after his father's passing. The shop was on the brink of closing due to debts, declining business, and Michael, despite his fear and lack of resources, prayed fervently for guidance and support. What do I need to do? Am I going to close down the shop? Do I need to give up and quit? He reached out to his community and to the amazement, the town rallied around him, offering both financial help and encouragement. Through that unwavering faith and community support, Michael was able to turn the business around. His story serves as a very powerful reminder that even in our greatest struggles, God's power can turn the impossible into possible. And so in the coming days, sometimes even in history or the human race, there may be some brief periods of peace and prosperity in this world. There will also be a lot of things that will happen in the remainder of this year. There's always will be wars and rumors of wars, strife and division, lawlessness and violence, injustice and immorality, oppression and atrocities. But tragically, as time marches on, evil will be heaped upon evil until the Lord can bear it no longer. And when that day comes, God's hand of judgment will fall upon the earth and every human being will give an account before him. But until that day comes, We all must live in this corrupt, wicked world. And as we walk day by day, we must make sure that we're living victoriously by conquering all the temptations and the trials that this world and life have to offer. To be conquerors, to be victorious, one thing is essential. Listen to me, great faith. We must have strong faith in the Lord. Possessing great faith is the practical subject When we look at the scripture, when you look back up in Jeremiah 32 verse one, the Bible says that the word came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the 10th year of Zedekiah, king of Judah, which was the 18th year of Nebuchadnezzar. And I'm glad when we look all the way back until the day comes, we all got to live in this timeframe and trust in the Lord to get through. all of the circumstances that we deal with. But I highlighted verse 17 because this particular verse began to speak out to us. And through verse 17, it said, O Lord God, behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out on, and there is nothing too hard for thee. One of the first things we see is the majesty of God's limitless power. I'm glad Jeremiah had a strong unshakable faith in the Lord and in prayer. And right after handling the deed of purchases to Baruch, Jeremiah lifted up his voice to the Lord in strong prayer. Apparently he prayed in the presence of everyone in the courtyard stock where he was chained up, stockade. And lying ahead was a horrible future, years of captivity in Babylon. And Jeremiah's prayer demonstrated his personal faith in the Lord. And only the Lord had the power to deal with the crisis facing the nation of Israel and to fulfill the promises to restore the nations to the Jews someday in the future. Great faith was needed to believe that God would bring back the Jews who were to be exiled and scattered all over the world. Through Jeremiah's prayer, the prophet hoped to reinforce the need of the people to put their trust in God's power and promises. The unshakable faith Jeremiah had in the Lord's power and promises. Jeremiah acknowledged about seven facts about God's power. In verse 17, that it started off, God's power created the universe. Nothing's too hard for the Lord. He can do anything He chooses to do. And the creation of such a vast universe proves that God can do anything. And so God uses His power to show love and execute justice on earth. In verse 18, He pours out His love on thousands of people, but He also executes justice and punishment on everyone that commits sin, both parents and children. God's power is seen in His very name. He's the Lord of hosts, the Lord of every living being in the universe, both in the heavens and on earth. He's the Lord Almighty. He's got the power to achieve great purposes, to do mighty works, in verse 19. And God's great purpose and mighty works are clearly seen in the history of Israel, recorded in the pages of the history over the nations, as the pages of power are achieved through great purposes, they do mighty works. And God has the power to see the ways of all people and to reward them according to their deeds. God power has performed miraculous works in behalf of his own people down through history. And these works are seen in the signs and the wonders done in Egypt, all around the world, among all the people of the human race. The miraculous works are seen in the great deliverance of Israel from Egyptian slavery, in his great gift of the promised land to the people. God's power has brought the present judgment on his people, the invasion, the siege of Babylon, and the army. the people's disobedience and their refusal to obey the commandments. The Lord was using the Babylonians as his agent of judgment. God, not Babylon, was bringing this disaster upon them. And after praising the power of God, Jeremiah said that everything happened just as God had said it would. And the siege ramps had been built around the Jerusalem city. The Babylon army was about to conquer the city. The people were doomed, and the prophet closed his prayer by admitting that he did not understand why God had asked him to buy the field at such a time of judgment. What a dynamic example of prayer for us. When facing the circumstances of life, we should follow the example of Jeremiah, and seek the Lord and his strength, and seek his face continually. You know what? We see the majesty of God's limitless power. No promise is too hard for God to keep. Titus 1.2 says, in hope of eternal life, which God that cannot lie promised before the world began. Every promise in the Bible is guaranteed by God's unchangeable nature. If he has made a promise, he'll keep it no matter how impossible it seems. And not only the majesty of God's limitless power that no promise is too hard for God to keep, but no prayer too hard for God to answer. because Jeremiah 33 says, call unto me and I will answer thee and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not. God invites us to call on him in prayer. He assures us that there's no request too great or too insignificant for him to address. And I'm glad that no promise is too hard for God to keep, no prayer too hard for God to answer, but there's no problem too hard for God to solve. Because Isaiah said, for my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. God's ways and thoughts far surpass ours. Even when his solution seems mysterious, his power is always sufficient to solve our problems. And so, when we embrace his limitless power, we see the majesty of God's limitless power. But secondly, the mystery of man's limiting power, because how you can limit God Psalm 78 verse 41 says, yea, they turned back and tempted God and limited the Holy One of Israel. Just as the Israelites limited God by their unbelief, we can also restrict His power in our lives through doubt and lack of faith. That's how we can limit God. That's how, that's an unwilling spirit. Because Matthew 23 verse 37 says, You see, God's blessings and interventions are often hindered by our unwillingness to accept his help and guidance. And so, we see that through the mystery of man's unlimiting power, how you can limit God, an unwilling spirit, and an unbelieving heart. Because in Mark chapter 6, verses 5 and 6, the Bible says, And he could there do no mighty works, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk and healed them, and he marveled because of their unbelief, and he went round about the villages teaching. You see, Jesus was limited in his works, by the unbelief of a people. Our lack of faith can prevent us from experiencing the full extent of God's power. And so, when we look and realize what God wants to do, I'm glad that God declared that he would demonstrate his power by executing judgment against Judah, that he appointed Babylon to be the agent of judgment that handled Jerusalem over to Babylonians because of the people's sins. And so, God also said that he would demonstrate his power by setting his people free from captivity and returning them to the promised land. And so, God had power to guarantee the return, the restoration of his people, And he emphatically declared that he would bring his people back from captivity, restore their nation. And his word, his promise, the Lord had always kept his word. Not a single word of promise will ever fail to be fulfilled. This was the wonderful assurance that God gave his prophet in the face of a dark, dismal day when the enemy was outside the gate, building the siege ramps to come in and overtake them and destroy them. And so the power of God is indeed limitless and he can fulfill every promise answer every prayer, solve every problem, and yet we must also recognize that our own unbelief and unwillingness can limit our experience of His divine power. Let us strive to overcome these limitations by embracing faith and surrendering our doubts. And as we face challenges, remember that there's nothing too hard for God. His strength is sufficient for all of our needs. His love is boundless, amen. And so, what promises from God do you find challenging to believe? How can you strengthen your faith in these promises? You need to reflect on those specific promises in the Bible and recall the instances where God has been faithful in your life, in my life. Strengthen your faith by meditating on the word and recalling the past faithfulness of days. You know, are there any prayers that you have hesitated to make because you feel they're too big or they're too impossible? How can you approach God with greater confidence in your prayers? I believe I remember all of the prayers that I've asked in a general sense, and I've always remembered that through those prayers that God has always answered what our needs are to be met, not my wants. When I approach God, I approach Him with confidence, knowing that He hears my prayers and that He can answer every prayer, no matter how significant. But I'm glad that He takes His own time. when he answers those prayers. A lot of them may not be answered in my time frame, but what areas of our life may be limiting God due to unbelief and unwillingness and how that we can overcome these limitations. I believe the specific areas where doubt or unwillingness have held you back, you need to pray for help to overcome those barriers and to take steps of faith to align your actions with your trust in God's power. Because this message is about encouraging and challenging every one of you to fully trust in God's omnipotent nature while examining how our own limitations can hinder our experiences of His power. And so, remember, You need to embrace his limitless power because there's nothing that he can't do. The majesty of God's limitless power, amen, that we all go through, praise God. And I'm glad that when we look at our lives and begin to realize what he can actually do for each and every one of us, amen, I'm glad that we see the mystery of man's limiting power, amen. And so through these times in our life, Amen. We can be able to overcome whatever problems come our way. Amen. Lord, we thank you for the reminder of your limitless power that we trust your promises to believe in your answers to the prayers, to have faith that you can solve any problem we face, remove any doubts, unwillingness from our hearts, empower us to fully embrace your boundless strength. May we walk in faith, witness your mighty works in our lives, and Lord, we can embrace the limitless power that you have for us and surrender to you to guide us into your truth and the faith to be strengthened in your name, Jesus Christ, we pray, amen. you
