“Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]” (Eph. 3:20 AMP).
How big can you think? How large can you think? God’s daring you to think big. He’s daring you to have bigger thoughts, bigger hopes, bigger dreams.
A Double Dog Dare
I was raised in Louisiana, and when somebody dares you to do something, there’s a challenge on. But when somebody “Double-Dog Dares” you…wow! No one of any character passes up a “Double-Dog Dare.”
When you see God saying, “I dare you to ask or think infinitely beyond your highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes or dreams,” then you are the only person limiting yourself.
You’re the only one who can put limitations on what you will become and what you will accomplish. It’s not dependent upon your culture, your background, your heritage, what side of the tracks you were born on, or what country you were born in.
You put the limitations on by what you think, by what you meditate on, by what you can imagine and by what you believe you can do.
