HOW DEEP DO YOU WANT TO GO?
DEEPER BIBLE STUDY - COMING BACK (stay tuned)
The question is usually asked, "how can I get closer to God?" Well, one simple way to engulf yourself in God's ALL is to get close to His word. God is His word, and what better way to get closer to God than to get closer to His word. Also, the whole vision of NO LIMITS is for us to not put any limits on God...and this includes the knowledge of His word. Do you wanna go deeper with God? Do you wanna get closer to God? Join us.
DEEPER 52
The title says it all. Deeper 52 is a
fifty-two week, one full year, of Bible Reading. If you want to know what God says and is still saying, then read His word. The Bible directs us to hide His word in our heart so that we may not sin against Him - so, we must read His word to do so. Also, if we want to share the love of God with others and be able to sow the word, then we must read His word to do so.

DEEPER ARTICLE - IT'S ALL UP TO YOU (by NO
LIMITS)
Matthew 9:27-29: And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them,
Believe ye that I am able to do this?
They said unto him, Yea, Lord. Then touched he their
eyes, saying,
According to your faith be it unto you.
The question that we’ve all heard before is, “What do you want out of
your spiritual life?” Well, what is it? Do you want to walk with God with more than a “maintenance” mindset, and are you striving to increase in all aspects of your spiritual experience? Maybe you intend to delve into God’s word more than ever, or even write music that will give Him praise and honor. Is it witnessing that you long for in your life, or is it taking action on the faith that you have? Do you dream of being bold in your daily walk with God, or even allowing God to shine His light throughout your life? Well, I’m here to let you know that all of this is yours, and there is one simple resolution … IT’S ALL UP TO YOU!
There is saying that comes to mind: “Life is what you make it.” This is truer than we’ll ever know, and it’s all up to us. It’s all up to you. There are many people in the world who believe that it’s God fault when needs and wants are not met. These same people ask God, “If it’s Your will to heal me and to save me…” And yet if you study God’s word, it is written that He came to seek and to save that which was lost. It is not God’s will that any should perish. By His stripes we were and we are healed. The bible also tells us that we have not because we ask not, and anything that we ask
for in Jesus name (without doubt and believing
on Him as the scriptures say) will be done. Evidently, God is telling us through His word … IT’S ALL UP TO YOU!
Something else that we should take note of is in the book of Isaiah. In chapter 43, God tells us that He is the Lord and there is no savior beside Him. He also tells us,
“Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?”
God is telling us that He is God, and then He asks us who in
can prevent (let here means prevent) me from working. No one can stop God from working; however, we can stop His work from getting into our lives.
Picture this: God’s work, what He is doing, is like a mighty rushing river. This river is bigger than you could ever imagine and is constantly moving. Its waters bring nourishment, livelihood, peace, joy, salvation, and life. Nothing can stop the flow of the river. Meanwhile, there are small tributaries that are attached to this river. Some are completely
open to the river and are fed from its waters. Others have damns that separate the tributaries
from the river, and none of the water can get through.
These tributaries are you and I. Some of us allow God’s work to flow freely throughout our
lives, and yet others have built boundaries that will not allow the water through.
The
boundaries and damns that are mentioned is our sin.
“Behold, the LORD's hand is not
shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: But your iniquities
have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that
he will not hear.”
God is working but, it is our sin that stops His work from entering into our
lives…and we need to remember that unbelief is sin as well. It’s putting your faith in your
enemy and not in God…and it’s a limit on God.
We all have goals, wants, and needs that we want to see come into fruition in our spiritual
lives. Sometimes we may feel like we’re waiting on God but, this is not true. He is waiting
on you. God has already made a way for everything that we will ever need; He’s ready
when you are. The Bible tells us that everyone that asks will receive. This is a wonderful
message that we need to get into our hearts. So, what do you want out of your
walk with God? The solution is in your hands. Remove
every boundary and limit that you yourself have
built, ask for it openly through faith in Jesus
name, and “…according
to your faith be it unto you.”
IT’S ALL UP TO YOU! |
