What If You're Limiting God | Carter Conlon

About this sermon

Website: http://www.tsc.nyc *Uploaded with permission from TSC. Have you ever considered that the life God has prepared for you might be far greater than anything you’ve imagined? That His plan for you might stretch beyond the edges of your current understanding, experience, or even desire? Scripture says: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor has entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” (1 Corinthians 2:9) Today, I share a story from Burundi, Africa—where we visited a remote mountain tribe called the Twa. They lived in grass huts with no electricity, no access to the outside world, no understanding of life beyond survival. We brought them goats and chickens—a gift that felt like a luxury SUV to them. When I tried to explain life in Manhattan—living in towers, riding elevators—they looked at me with confusion and even pity. The tribal chief said, “We’ll pray for you. We wouldn’t want to live like that.” Why? Because it was beyond their frame of reference. They couldn’t conceive of it—so they rejected it. And we do the same thing with God. When the Holy Spirit tries to speak to us about His calling, His promises, His purpose, we often respond with, “That’s too far. That’s not for me.” We limit the Holy One of Israel. We live at the border of unbelief—not because God’s plans aren’t real, but because we can’t picture ourselves stepping into them. Friend, ask the Holy Spirit today to enlarge your vision. Let Him take you farther than your skill set, your past, or your pain have ever allowed you to imagine. Let’s stop saying, “Not me. Not here. Not now.” And instead start praying: “God, expand my understanding. Take me farther. Do through me what only You can do.” #carterconlon #limiting #limit
