At the beginning of this year, the Holy Spirit reminded me of a powerful word spoken over me in 2023: "Don’t limit Me. What I have for you is much bigger than what you are thinking." This was both an encouragement and a rebuke.
God is saying to all of us: I have called you for more, and I have more for you. But what is getting in the way is YOU! Ouch!
We are each uniquely created to do something no one else can. Yet, many of us live below the standard God has for us. We must realize that God doesn’t just sovereignly make everything happen—our own limitations and mindsets can hinder His power in our lives.
I believe 2025 is our year of answered prayers—the year of manifestation and harvest. But God also reminded me: You have to fix your stinkin’ thinkin’.
I’m determined to change my mindset and remove every self-imposed limitation. I want to walk in my purpose and fulfill the potential He has placed within me. Because in God’s Kingdom, PEOPLE matter. If you don’t live up to your potential, the people around you will suffer.
Are you ready to challenge your limiting beliefs? Let’s go!
Many of us fear failure because we don’t want to take risks or make mistakes. But failure is often the path to growth.
Peter’s "Failure" on the Water
In Matthew 14:28-31, Peter stepped out in faith and walked on water. But when he focused on the wind, fear overtook him, and he sank. Did Peter fail? No! He walked on water! Yet, I bet he thought he had failed.
Your perspective on failure matters. Thomas Edison, who failed 1,000 times before inventing the lightbulb, famously said, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
James 1:2-4 tells us to "consider it pure joy when we face trials, because the testing of our faith produces perseverance." Failure is an opportunity to grow. Even Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, but he used it as motivation to work harder. He said, "I have failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
Proverbs 24:16 reminds us: "Though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again." God knows we will fall, but He also declares that we will rise!
Who is afraid of success? It’s not the success itself, but what comes with it—more responsibility, greater expectations, and stepping out of our comfort zones.
Many camp in the wilderness because it’s familiar, rather than stepping into the Promised Land. We self-sabotage and stay in comfortable places instead of embracing new territory.
Some believers even fear that success will "change them" or damage their relationship with God. Proverbs 30:7-9 expresses this concern: "Give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me just enough to satisfy my needs... Otherwise, I may have too much and disown You, or I may become poor and steal."
But success does not have to pull you away from God. If He has called you to it, He will equip you to handle it.
I know this fear firsthand. When my father passed and I had to step into ministry leadership, I felt completely unqualified. The weight of responsibility made me physically ill. But once I stepped forward in faith, I never felt that fear again. God’s grace, favor, and wisdom sustained me. There is power in your YES. Heaven backs you when you say YES!
Remember: God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called.
Fear of rejection, criticism, or judgment can keep us from walking in God’s calling. I remember worrying about what people would think when I started posting videos about heaven and hell. But when I received my first notification that someone had prayed to accept Jesus, I stopped caring what people thought!
Proverbs 29:25 says, "Fearing people is a dangerous trap, but trusting the Lord means safety."
Most people are too busy thinking about themselves to be concerned with us! Fear often stands for False Evidence Appearing Real.
2 Timothy 1:7 declares, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind."
Fear is like a fence that keeps God’s dreams trapped in tomorrow. But today, we tear down that fence!
The size of your fear often indicates the size of your calling. The enemy doesn’t waste time making you afraid of things that don’t matter.
The God who split the Red Sea, shut the mouths of lions, and raised the dead—that same God is backing your YES today.
Let’s stop limiting God through fear and start living in faith!
