Bible

ISAIAH 54:2-3 (A WORD FROM GOD)
“Enlarge our tent.”
“Stretch forth the curtains of your habitation.”
“Lengthen and strengthen your stakes.”

“HOW?” – NOT BY LIMITING GOD!
Psalm 78:41 (reference)

HEBREWS 12:1-4 (NKJV)
Three ways that we limit God.

  1. The Sin.
  2. Every Weight
  3. Lack of Endurance.

THE SIN
Looking unto something besides Jesus. (Moses/Ourselves/The World)
“We are a grace race in the race of grace.”

John 1:14 (reference)
Titus 2:11-15 (NKJV)

  • Grace teaches.
  • Grace looks to Jesus.

Critical “GRACE” theory must be taught to our children.

  • All have sinned.
  • Righteousness by faith.
  • Love God and your neighbor.
  • Golden rule.
  • New Creation
    • John 7:24 (reference)

EVERY WEIGHT?
Slim up and trim down.
Sin / Flesh / Duplicity of focus / Overloaded
Examples of weights that can limit God’s work in our lives:

  1. Not asking.
    1. Limits God and people’s harvest. (Fruits of righteousness)
  2. Focus on skeptics vs. people of faith.
    1. Luke 6:26 (reference)
      1. Generationally false prophets are adored.
    2. John 5:44 (reference)
      1. We limit God by seeking man’s approval.
  3. Fearful of being misunderstood & judged.
    1. 1 Corinthians 6:2 (reference)
    2. How can a world filled with hate and bitterness judge us for a lack of compassion?

FEARFUL DREAD
Revelation 21:8 (KJV & NKJV)

  • “Fearful and unbelieving…”

“Our fear of speaking up or out is as egregious to God as the lies of the culture destroying the innocent and unlearned.”

“Our greatest success in ministry is not that we offended no one, but rather we pleased God.”

CONCLUSION
Hebrews 12:1

  • “Run with patience & endurance!”

“Look unto Jesus and stay in the chariot, He will see to it we win the race.”
“The Grace Race”
