Overview
The speaker reflects on their long personal relationship with God, focusing on how ongoing, honest dialogue—especially through questions—has shaped their faith, understanding, and spiritual growth. They emphasize the importance of questioning as a vital tool for revelation, learning, and developing a deeper, more unlimited life with God.
The Power of Questions in Relationship with God
- An ongoing dialogue of questions defines and enriches the relationship with God.
- God asks questions not for his own sake, but to reveal truth and challenge perceptions.
- Believers are encouraged to ask God questions, fostering intimacy and deeper understanding.
Scriptural Examples and Their Lessons
- In Matthew 16, Jesus asks, “Who do you say that I am?” to draw out personal revelation and identity.
- Revelation begins with understanding who Jesus is for each individual, leading to clarity about one’s own identity in Him.
- In Acts 2, people ask, “What does this mean?” and “What must I do?” highlighting the need for process and response questions in faith journeys.
The Role of Questions in Growth and Change
- All relationships, including with God, thrive on specific, personal engagement rather than generic titles.
- Losing passion or grace for something means something new may be opening; questions help discern what’s next.
- Questions open new territories in calling, service, and understanding, even when outcomes are unclear.
Addressing Difficulties and Changing Perceptions
- Problems may stem more from perception than circumstance; reframing issues in God’s perspective leads to peace.
- Meditation and asking God how He sees situations transforms anxiety into curiosity and faith.
- God’s intent is to renew spiritual “lenses” so believers see themselves, others, and situations through His eyes.
Practical Applications and Testimonies
- Real-life examples show how asking the right questions led to reconciliation, new opportunities, and personal transformation.
- Moving from a mindset of lack (needs) to inheritance (resources and creativity) is encouraged.
- God invites believers to supply what is missing in others’ lives, not just to fix perceived flaws.
Key Questions God Asks Believers
- “Do you believe what I believe about you?”
- “Can you see yourself powerful in Jesus?”
- “When will you learn peace?”
- “Whose side do you want to be on regarding negativity?”
- “What do you want me to be for you now?”
- “Are you as ready to receive what I am delighted to give?”
Unlimited Living and Removing Limitations
- God desires to remove artificial “ceilings” and “boxes” from believers’ lives, bringing them into unlimited potential.
- The invitation is to live fully in Christ without self-imposed restrictions or worldly mindsets.
- The church is called to model this unlimited life and vision, transforming language, thinking, and expectations.
Prayer and Blessing for the Community
- The speaker concludes with a prayer to remove limitations and open the church to the fullness of God’s promises.
- There is a call for prophetic permission, spiritual vision, and transformational community life rooted in ongoing dialogue with God.
