Our minds will limit us in many ways if we allow them to be boxed in. We need guidelines to keep us in check. Just like rules, they keep us boxed in to help us function. However, these rules could also limit us from being creative and exploring spheres beyond those rules. This could be a limitation that prevents us from receiving because we are scared of the unknown. Learning to skydive is a new experience and quite frightening. However, we take the risk of experiencing what others have assured us is safe. Till we do it, we never know what the experience is. This can be applied in other areas of life where we have to operate beyond known rules. Faith is sometimes spelled risk. We have to believe, and if we have mental blockages, then we will find it difficult to believe. We will not see till we believe. This means we have to take a step into the unknown to experience the supernatural. Many will stop at this point and go no further. It is like a roadblock. The only way is to go back to our usual mode of operation. Once the block is removed by stepping out in faith, then the miracle will happen. Our mind sometimes is the main hindrance to experiencing true deliverance from our prisons. These self-made prisons keep us from experiencing more of God. Relax and let go, and let God take over and be free and experience what God has promised in His Word.
