PSALM 78:41 " LIMITING GOD "
Is it possible to limit God the creator of the universe, who by the word of his mouth spoke the worlds into existence. Who in Jesus " upholding all things by the word of his power" (Hebrews 1:3). When God makes up his mind to do something who can stop him? The thing that can hinder or limit God is unbelief!! Remember in ( Mark chapter 6 ) Jesus went home to Nazareth and the people were astonished at his teaching and the mighty works wrought by his hands. But they went on to say "Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, calling him the son of Mary meant something to , BUT THAT'S FOR ANOTHER LESSON? Mark goes on to say that Jesus did no mighty works there only healed a few sick folk. And even Jesus "MARVELED" at their unbelief? This is God in the flesh and the lack of faith limited the son of God , is unbelief just as powerful as Faith? (PSALM 78:41) says " Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel" . In (Numbers 13) the children of Israel sent out twelve spies to spy out the land, 10 came back with an evil report, and 2 came back with a good report. The children of Israel went into a state of panic and unbelief and refused to act in faith and LIMITED GOD through there unbelief. What have you did to tie the hands of God and limited his blessings on your life? Don't limit God with your lack of faith in him because things hasn 't come to pass in your life yet? In other words don't let God's processing you hinder the faith in you and limit God's potential in you? Allow God's faith to operate through you like Abraham "HE STAGGERED NOT AT THE PROMISE OF GOD THROUGH UNBELIEF; BUT WAS STRONG IN FAITH , GIVING GLORY TO GOD. Make up in your mind, that I will not LIMIT THE GOD OF ISRAEL'S POWER IN MY LIFE!!

Yes, powerful stuff. Consider Ezekiel 22:30. Here is God, powerful and intentional, fully able to accomplish his own purposes... begging for someone to "stand in the gap" on behalf of the poeple of Israel, and because no one does, unleashes his wrath. The explicit teaching here is that God's hands were tied, because no one prayed for mercy. What a responsibility we have to trust him, and stand in the gap for our world.
