“Your word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens”
Psalm 119:89
You have the potential to influence physical and spiritual matter. I will give to you the keys of the kingdom of Heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in Heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in Heaven (Matthew 16:19). Jesus is talking here about your power to influence what’s on earth as well as what’s in Heaven. If you bind something on earth, it will be bound in Heaven. You have influence in Heaven. Likewise, if you loose something on earth, Heaven has to do the same thing—loose it. You have the power to influence things in both realms of earth and Heaven. You have the potential to receive whatever you ask. If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you (John 15:7). God says you have the potential to receive whatever you ask. That’s frightening. You have a blank check—but there is one condition on the cashing of that check: You must abide in Christ, and His words must abide in you. If that condition is met, you can ask anything in Jesus’ name and it will be done for you. Jesus wants to knock the limits off your mind. But first He requires that you stay hooked up with God. Then He says, “Go ahead and ask me for anything. I’ll do whatever you ask.” What potential! That’s God’s word on you. You have the potential to do greater works than Jesus did. I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in Me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father (John 14:12).
Jesus sees in you the potential to do greater things than He did. If Jesus says you have that potential, it’s in there somewhere. Remember, whatever God says, you can do. He won’t ask you to do anything He hasn’t already wired you to do. God believes in you. He knows the vastness of your potential. If He gives you an assignment, He’s already given you the ability to fulfill what He asks. Along with His demand always comes the capability to meet that demand. But remember: to release your potential, you must be related to your Source. Only as you are connected to God, can you fulfill and maximize your true potential.
God says you have the potential to receive whatever you ask.
