Spiritual Solutions

Man is created by God without limitations; he is a limitless creature. His only limitation is his own faith, his own vision, his own acceptance of the truth of his identity.

The only limitation is in thought. Finding himself having to do something he thinks he cannot do, a man or woman has mesmerized himself or herself with bondage, lack, failure. The only law for you is freedom and success, your joy and your perfect expression; your only limitation is that of your own thought.

Jesus tells us, “Whatsoever you shall ask in prayer believing, you shall receive.” “Whatsoever” expresses all substance, ideas, creation; it connotes limitlessness. In Psalm 34:10 we read, “Those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.” This is another blanket promise.

Again, Jesus says, “Fear not, little flock, for it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.” How could it be expanded further than that? Life is consciousness, and if we are conscious of limitations in life, then so it will be for us. But if we believe with the poet, “No pent-up Utica contracts our powers but the whole boundless universe is ours,” then our whole lives are boundless and limitless. Master Chunyi Lin, in teaching the ancient art of Qigong says what he calls the “password” to universal energy as being, “I am in the universe; the universe is in my body. The universe and I combine together.” Or as Jesus said, “I and the Father are one.”

A good illustration of the limitlessness of life is the water faucet. The supply of water is without limit, relatively of course, but you are given the power to regulate the amount that flows through the faucet at any given time. You can turn it off completely, or you can permit a trickle or a great flood to rush through. You cannot see or touch your own spiritual faucet, but it is the great reality, the control valve of your beliefs and ideas.

To turn off your faucet is to affirm, “Life is miserable; there is no justice; people are evil; things never work out; God is remote if he exists at all.” There are people like this, wallowing in their world of bad luck, and evil exists for them in a very real sense in their conceptions and beliefs.

To turn the faucet on just a little is to believe that it is a terrible world and you have so many problems, but at least there is a little relief through prayer, a refuge however slight and temporary against the woes of the world. In this sense prayer is thought of as a brief pause between problems and worries, and thus it becomes.

But, to turn your faucet wide open and to keep it that way every moment, every hour every day, is to say to yourself and to believe, “There is no power but God; I can of myself do nothing but through the power of God in me I can do all things; all around me there is good and nothig but good. I walk safely, unafraid and untouched, through the valley of the shadow of evil, but evil can never be to me more than a shadow, never a substance. All that I need is with me for complete security, happiness, health, peace, strength and prosperity.”

No matter what circumstances may be ours to face, there are no limitations. Turn on your spiritual faucet. Believe in the limitlessness of God. No man on earth has the right to tell you that God cannot do what needs to be done in your life, your mind, your body. Anyone who does tell you it cannot be done is speaking of his own consciousness of life, not yours, and is the false prophet against whom Jesus warned man.

When facing some challenging situation we should never limit God by thinking what cannot be done, nor should we limit ourselves with thoughts of impossibilities or belittle things that can be done through us. Certainly you might feel that you alone cannot do a certain thing. Jesus had that feeling too, but he knew and proved that through him God could do all things. There is a creative process which is the reality in us.

There is a wonderful message for us all in Jesus’ thought, “It is not I, but the Father.” This is as we submerge the thought of the personal self in its limitations and go to the thought of God as boundless, all-powerful, free, that we become aware of the infinite power and process of God working in and through us in a dynamic way.

Instead of dwelling on personal weaknesses, shortcomings, lack, think rather of strength, perfection, and dauntless courage, and of the great resource of God within you, in the midst of you. Acknowledge that God working through you can do all things and that you can therefore do what needs to be done.

Give the limitless spirit that God has given you a chance. Prove that it will open to you the realm of perfect life and peace and achievement and supply. As the Bible says, “Prove me now, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour out for you an overflowing blessing.”

Remember, God is Blessing You, Right Now!
