Richard Blackaby believes that the reason that we do not experience the wonders God is ready to provide is because we put limits on Him. Because we do not fully believe, we do not fully experience all God has for us. It is our own “holding back” in areas of our life that sets limits on God for us. Most often it is fear that holds us back–we do believe God is all-powerful, but we are afraid of what He may want to do through us with that power, or maybe we will lose some control in our lives. By this fear and lack of trust we limit the ways God will work in our lives. Blackaby encourages us to build a relationship with the Father–getting to know Him better, sharing our life with Him helps to limit the limits. He shows ways in which we commonly fall short of focusing on our relationship with God and helps reveal ways we can overcome this shortfall. This is a very insightful and inspirational book. I would recommend it to anyone who want to experience God’s power in their life.
