Limiting the Holy God

INTRODUCTION: God is all powerful, but His children seem so weak. Why?

We limit God

  1. By our sinfulness
    1. Sin separates from God (Isaiah 59:1-2; Jeremiah 5:25)
    2. God searches for men (Jeremiah 5:1; Ezekiel 22:30)
    3. God wants a clean vessel (2 Timothy 2:20-21)
  2. By our faithlessness
    1. No faith; no mighty works (Matthew 13:58; 17:14-20)
    2. The faithfulness of Moses (Hebrews 3:5)
    3. The blessings of faithfulness (Matthew 24:42-47)
  3. By our prayerlessness
    1. Because ye ask not (James 4:1-2)
    2. The sin of ceasing to pray (1 Samuel 12:23-24)
    3. The power of fervent prayer (James 5:16-18)
  4. By our willfulness (Rebellion)
    1. God would; but we will not (Matthew 23:37)
    2. The example of Christ (Mark 14:36; Philippians 2:5-8)
