"...And because of their unbelief, he couldn’t do any miracles among them except to place his hands on a few sick people and heal them…"
The Nazarenes could not believe Jesus was more than just the son of Mary and Joseph, the oldest of at least seven siblings. They had only seen him build things from wood. They could not envision him rebuilding a broken spirit. Did this limit Jesus’ power? No. It limited their ability to receive the benefits of his power. The blessings Jesus had for the Nazarenes were a gift, and as gifts, they required the recipients to accept them.
Here’s the key: God’s idea of blessing you is very different than what you think being blessed is. We think natural; God thinks supernatural. He’s the running-over, the exceed-your-expectations God. He’s already decided to bless you. Now it’s up to you. What you decide will determine whether or not it comes to pass. You may not see how it can happen, but take the limits off of Him. Get rid of the excuses. Dare to believe what God has already decided. If you do this, God is going to exceed your expectations and take you to the fullness of your destiny.
