#578 – How to Expand Your Capacity for What God Has Next

[upbeat music] You need to know that regardless of what you think your limits are in life, that you have the capacity to receive.

And if you don't think you have it, then you have the ability to expand your capacity to receive.

I'm talking about all things abundance and overflow this year, and we cannot experience overflow and abundance if we have a limited mindset, and we have a limited mindset if we don't think we can expand our ability to experience abundance and overflow.

I serve a God who is an abundant God.

And he doesn't just give abundance, he actually builds containers.

And those containers, the container of my life, my physicality, my soul, my energy, my emotion, that container has to expand, this is the journey of my life, to be able to hold the abundance that he wants to give to me.

Overflow is not just about what God is withholding to maybe put in me if I can receive it or not.

It's about him holding overflow and expanding me so that I can hold more and more of what he wants to give me.

Sometimes it looks like God is withholding things from me, and all he's doing is holding it until I'm ready.

[chuckles] Because if he gave it all to me, it would not be able to be received.

So my job is to expand my capacity.

It's about being prepared to carry what he wants to give me.

And capacity in my life is not a passive thing.

It, it is formed and I have to actively participate.

And this is where most of us get hung up.

We want God's abundance and we want overflow, but we won't participate in the capacity expansion.

So in order for you to know that you know that you know that you know that you are living an abundant life, you've got to participate in the expansion process.

So in the past few weeks, I've been talking to the Inner Circle girls about laying the rails to run on, rhythms and routines and boundaries and vision and naming what's good and not quitting the small things.

So today, we're gonna turn a corner because the rails are only useful if something is moving on them.

Rails are supposed to have a train, and if the train is not moving, then what are the rails for? So let's talk about movement and expansion.

Now, many of us believe that God has more for us, but our lives are full.

So we, we're like, "We don't, we don't even have room to put it anywhere." Our schedules are full, our minds are full, our emotions are full, our hands are full, our finances are full, all these things are full.

But what if God is a God that is waiting and ready to supply not only our needs, but even some of the things that we desire? But we don't have the capacity to receive it.

So today I wanna give you a framework, K-N-O-W, know.

Not just information, but formation, how you can know how to expand your capacity and receive what God already has and what he already desires to release to you.
