Greetings;
Many blessings to every one of you as you have entered into this new year! I am looking forward to seeing what God is going to do in this fresh season. I have a great expectation in my spirit! As we consider this year let’s be open to all that God wants to do.
I believe that God is going to reveal Himself in a very big way this year. He is able to do exceedingly beyond all that we can even ask or think! What does that look like? The one who loves us is able to do more than we can even imagine or think! Today God impressed a prophetic word in my spirit for 2012. That word is “LIMITLESS”. I can’t even imagine what that may look like as God reveals His amazing grace in our lives! It is a season to move forward because God is who He is! He is our Father and we are His children in this world! It is only through a knowing of Him as our Father that we are able to know who we really are as His children. There is purpose in that and there is great destiny! That purpose is not because He has great things for us to do, but because of How great He is and how great we are because of Him.
The third chapter of the book of Ephesians reveals a wonderful truth. Whether we are Jews or Gentiles, we have been brought near to God by the blood of Jesus Christ. He made a covenant for us that we should all be called children of God! We all find ourselves standing in a place of God’s favor! There is no enmity between Him and us! We are a spiritual house for God to inhabit in this earth and He is our eternal house to inhabit through the halls of eternity!
Following this wonderful truth in the third chapter of Ephesians we find a prayer that Paul the apostle prayed concerning Christ’s expanding body of habitation.
Ephesians 3:14-19
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name,
that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.
I believe that God wants to reveal who He is in this season in an unprecedented way. He’s not a nonperson power of sovereignty. He is our Father and He has invested Himself in our lives through the gift of His Son. He wants us to receive a revelation of His love. What does the width, the length, the height, and the depth of God in His love look like? Are you ready for a revelation of His love? It is only by knowing Him as Father that we can truly come to know the power of His unsurpassable love! A revelation of God’s love will fill us with the fullness of who He is!
Ephesians 3:20, 21
Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,
to Him is the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
God is our Father and we should not be afraid to ask anything of Him. It is not our will, but His that needs to be done. It is not our will, but a revelation of Him in His love will make us come to trust that His will is better than anything we could ask or think without Him. Can we allow God to stir our asking? Can we ask God to activate your imagination? Do we understand that our imagination is determined by the imagination of a Father who loves us? Do we know that our thinking can be motivated by the thoughts of a really good Father who loves us from His heavenly eternity and He wants to reveal His thoughts in our earthly humanity?
I believe a revelation of who He is will reveal not only a trust of Him, but also a trust of who we are in Him and because of Him. The voice of God is behind us and He is saying it is time to move forward!
I will write more on this in the days to come, but the word of 2012 is, “LIMITLESS”!
Blessings,
Ted J. Hanson
