Greetings;
What an awesome day with the family of God in church! It was great to be home for the weekend here in Bellingham. Pastor Jonathan and the congregation of Abundant Life rock! It is great to be a part of such a wonderful family!
I wrote a blog a couple of weeks ago in regard to this being a year that is LIMITLESS in its possibilities. I released another prophetic dimension of that yesterday in church. I can’t help but resound this word again for our expectations of 2012. The present season of God’s grace is going to be LIMITLESS!
We have been given an amazing gift through the love of God. Whether we are Jews by our generations or some other nation that did not have the promises of God, we have all been given access to know God by the gift of His grace. We are blessed in every way, because God is very good and He loves people. As we face this new season of 2012 let’s first remember who God is so we can come to know who we are in Him. He is the Father of all men and He wants us to know the power of His love! God paid the price of our value through the gift of His only begotten Son in order to give us a revelation of our true value to Him. He is our Father and we are His children. Being a child of God doesn’t give us a Father, God as our Father makes us children of God. The testimony of who He is reveals the truth of who He is. God is good and He loves people!
The apostle Paul prayed an amazing prayer for the church of Ephesus in regard to this revelation of who God is towards men.
Ephesians 3:14
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.
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 be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
Because God is our Father, we can know that our future is limitless in its possibilities. We can be strengthened in our inner man through a revelation of God’s love. We cannot possibly comprehend the width, the length, the height, or the depth of His love to us. The one who loves us is able to do exceedingly beyond all that we can even ask or think and He is God! God is our Father! He is not just a sovereign being who is in control of the universe. He is the passionate Father who loves us as His children. By this we can know that all of the possibilities in our lives are limitless.
When we face the unknown God wants to show us His amazing options. When we can’t see the answers, why do we say that God doesn’t care? God is our Father and He really does care! He doesn’t grow weary like men. He is steadfast in His love toward us and we can know that His love is limitless towards us. He gives strength to us even when we are weary. He gives might when we are helpless. Even the youngest of men grow weary and lose heart, but not God! He is our Father and He loves us! He will give us strength. In 2012 it is time to wait upon the Lord. Don’t wait for Him to do something, get intimate with Him and expect Him to be who He is! Our relationship with Him will prove to give us new strength and we will become those that others will seek to follow in the path of life.
Isaiah 40:27-31
Why do you say, O Jacob, and assert, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the LORD, and the justice due me escapes the notice of my God”?
Do you not know? Have you not heard?
The Everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired.
His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power.
Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly,
Yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.
God is able do abundantly beyond all that we can ask, so let’s get intimate with Him and ask. He is able to do exceedingly beyond all that we can even think, so let’s get intimate with Him and receive the mind of Christ. This is His year and we are the children of God!
Blessings,
Ted J. Hanson
