Stop Putting God In A Container

PART 3

3. WE WANT GOD’S POWER, BUT WE TRY TO CONTROL GOD

This is where the Church must examine itself.

We want:

* God’s healing power.

* God’s delivering power.

* God’s breakthrough power.

* God’s prophetic power.

* God’s supernatural provision.

* God’s miracles.

* God’s restoration.

* God’s favor.

* God’s glory.

But sometimes we want all of that on our terms.

We say:

“God, heal me but do it this way.”

“God, bless me but do it according to my plan.”

“God, give me breakthrough but don’t make me uncomfortable.”

“God, use me but don’t ask me to leave my comfort zone.”

“God, move but stay within the boundaries I understand.”

That is putting God in a container.

Isaiah 55:8–9

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.”
