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