Stop Putting Chains on Our God!
This morning, in our Sunday School lesson at church, 7 words lit a fire in me, and my bones would have melted if I hadn’t been allowed to speak. Those 7 words: “God typically doesn’t speak through visions today.” The reason He doesn’t “typically” speak in visions today as opposed to the days of the Old Testament and New Testament is because we don’t allow Him to. We set limits on the Lord God Almighty. We place chains on Him by not allowing Him to be the Lord God Almighty Great and Almighty I AM that He is. We take away who He is when we call Him demeaning names like “The Man Upstairs.” No, “The Man Upstairs” won’t speak to us in visions, but the Great and Almighty I AM will surely knock us head-over-heels with visions and miracles and wonders if we—if we what? IF WE BELIEVE! Let’s stop placing limitations on our God! Let’s start believing in our powerful God for whom “nothing is impossible” (Luke 1:37). Let’s give Him the glory that is due Him and watch Him show His power and might. He is not “The Man Upstairs.” He is YAHWEH!
