Is God limited in how much He can bless us? My answer may surprise you. He is limited. By what? By the level of our faith.
In Matthew 9:27-30, we read the account of Jesus ministering to two blind men. When Jesus touched their eyes, He said, “According to your faith let it be to you.” They were healed.
What if their faith were for something less than receiving sight. Maybe they had faith to get a guide dog, or a cane, or an assistant. If so, they would have limited Jesus to providing a guide dog, a cane, or an assistant. But they didn’t. They had heard the word. He probably preached as He did in Luke 4:18, from the prophet Isaiah, that He was anointed to bring recovery of sight to the blind. Faith came, and they received according to their faith.
The people of Jesus’ own home town limited Him. In Mark 6:1-6, we learn that people were offended because they thought Jesus was being “uppity.” Jesus could do no might work, and He marveled at their unbelief.
The widow in 2 Kings 4:1-7 needed supernatural provision to pay her debts. She believed Elisha that if she borrowed vessels and poured in oil, the Lord would provide for her and her sons. When did the oil stop? When the vessels ran out. She and her sons limited God by their vision. If they had borrowed more vessels, they would have been given more oil.
Let’s not limit God. If we see the image of ourselves God portrays in the Bible, and that image becomes bigger in us than the circumstances around us, and if we act on the faith we get from the Word of God, then God can do great things for us.
God wants us to receive from Him, whether it’s healing, deliverance, prosperity, or salvation. But it will be done for us according to our faith. Let’s take the limits off of our faith!
