Setting Limits to GodWhen a strong ordeal strikes our life, or when we feel overwhelmed by suffering, we appeal to the Heavens and elevate the most diverse petitions seeking for the divine help, and then we wait... sometimes in a trusting manner and sometimes, in not such a respectful way. And if, after having waited along for a certain amount of time, we do not see our petitions fulfilled, we are very hasty to reproach the Father for His indifference before our prayers, thinking that He is insensitive, and not only that, we then try to move him in different ways, believing with it to be "softening His heart" and trying to awaken His mercy and compassion. We just don't realize that this is completely unfair and that we are the ones that set a limit to the divine power. Yes, my brothers, this is so. We do limit the reaching of the divine love, thus alienating ourselves from its wonders. King David spoke about this in his Psalms: "How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, [and] grieve him in the desert! Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel." "They remembered not his hand, [nor] the day when he delivered them from the enemy. How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan" Psalms:78:40-43In these few inspired Psalms, David refers to the people of Israel while at its journey through the desert, that very same people that even though had witnessed and lived repeatedly through the portentous extents of the divine power, in their foolishness and stubbornness and forgetting all the wonders that the Lord manifested before them, kept denying in a very persistent and ill-mannered way, all of what the Lord had granted them. In resemblance of that Israel of yore, the spiritual Israel of this time is wondering in the desert again, the desert of human life, and just as happened before, we keep denying once and once again the divine power, when pain touches us or when the ordeal knocks to our doors, and in our despair and ignorance, we set, unadvertedly, a limit to God. We set a frontier, a border to the divine love. In other words: We beesech Him, while at the same time we build a limit for His action. And just how is that we set that limit? How is that we refuse to accept the grace that flows incesantly from the divine love? Because our scarce faith and our lack of perseverance. It is our lack of faith the one that makes us unable to contemplate how the wonder we have asked for takes place in our life; our unbelief, our incredulity deceives us and thus we get to believe the lie that there are things impossible to God. The Divine Master explained this to those who surrounded Him in the Second Era, when they didn't see that they were able to perform such wonders as those they have witnessed the Divine Master spread widely at His walk. "And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." Mtt:17:20"...and nothing shall be impossible unto you"... how encouraging these words are to those who are so needy of the divine help! And we wonder: Would something exist that is impossible to God? Let's take a look on what the angel of the Annunciation tells Mary: "For with God nothing shall be impossible." Lk:1:37Once again, it is confirmed that there are no impossibles to God; this is so, whether it is about the late conception of a child in life (thing that Abraham and Sarah corroborated) or it pertains to things that appear to be absolutely impossible... e.g. the redemption of humanity. Certainly, the salvation of humanity looks at first glance as something totally impossible... but, is it? It may appear as something absurd and utopic for us to even think that humanity could be saved, but this is because it is not a human task, it is a divine one, since for God there are no impossibles. If this salvation depended on us, then we would be doomed for sure... The Divine Master points to us that while even there are things that for men are impossible, they are totally possible for God. "And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God." Lk:18:27How we can make then, that what we have asked for, even those things that we deemed as impossible, get to be fulfilled? By believing in it, strongly believing in it. "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive." Mtt:21:22 "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive [them], and ye shall have [them]." Mrk:11:24I humbly ask you, my beloved brothers, to pause at this point, and reread all the preceding paragraphs in this section. Consider them carefully, roll them over in your mind, until you fully grasp its tremendous significance, and fully make them your own thought, your own deepest belief. For in those few lines is condensed a statement of wonderful divine truth, which, if taken advantage of, will transform you into a living symbol of good, into a living proof of the divine power. Do not proceed with this reading, until you have fully grasped the importance of the knowledge just remembered to you. REMOVING THOSE LIMITS FROM GOD We can suppress from our lives and spirits those limits that we have set to the divine action. Obviously, as we mentioned before, the first thing to do is to have faith. It is enough for us to think in that whatever thing we made our plea for is possible, since it already exists inside our spiritual mind, so that from there, it simply goes and gets manifested in our life, in our world. James, the Just, explains this: "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all [men] liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." "But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed." "For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord." "A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways." James 1:5-8Perhaps the best explanation yet is found in this small quote taken from the book "The Message of Mary", an essential part of The Third Testament:
"Faith is a powerfill force that
accomplishes what is humanly impossible,
realizing what you call a miracle."
THE THIRD TESTAMENT
And then, after faith, we just need to have perseverance in
prayer:
"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.". James 5:16How can we make prayer more efficient? With fervor, with devotion, with insistence on it. "Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.". "And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit." James 5:17,18Jesus, the Divine Master, was the one that taught this to His disciples, as seen here: "...men ought always to pray, and not to faint;" Lk:18:1Prayer, made in a perseverant and fervent manner, obtains all which is good that we ask from the Lord. And in the Third Era, the Father points us again:
"I ask you: Why do you not touch My
Divine Spirit with your clean thoughts,
and with your fervent prayers? You would
obtain everything your spirit and flesh
need."
